Midt i alt hysteriet omkring betaen af StarCraft II (SC2), har Blizzard’s Production Director, Chris Sigaty, nyt omkring spillets endelige udgivelsesdato, der måske kan gøre ventetiden mere tålelig for de mange folk der ikke fik adgang til betaen. Ifølge Edge Online kan vi umiddelbart se frem til at skulle vente mellem tre og fem måneder endnu før SC2 endelig rammer butikkerne. Man bør altid være påpasselig med at skære en umiddelbar udgivelsesdato fra Blizzard ud i cement, men nu har SC2-fans i det mindste en tidshorisont at sigte efter. Skulle du stadig have problemer med at fordrive ventetiden, kan du evt. besøge del 2 af vores indblik i StarCraft II-betaen og få stillet din sult en smule.

“We were targeting three to five months for the beta, we’re really at a three month period of time for the beta at this point,” Sigaty said during the BlizzCast podcast.

“We are still targeting the first half of this year, so with that in mind, it really shortens the window of time with our major content patch coming out pretty close to the end whether it’s even worth it putting out the map editor at that point.”

Dustin Browder, StarCraft II game director, emphasised the importance of the beta process.

“The beta is what builds a lot of our quality,” he explained, adding: “We can only take it so far before we can take it to the community and then they can add a lot more to it as well.”

“So, it’s really critical for our success, it’s very key about who we are as a studio and as a team that we do these kinds of betas so we’re really geeked up to get this out in front of people and see what they think and to really give us the feedback we need to be successful.”

  1. #4 Det er ikke kun SC2 der bliver betatestet det er også battle.net. I og med det er deres nye platform for alle deres spil skal det testes i bund så det fungerer 100%, og det gør det pt. ikke.
