Şu anda Beta ’sı pek çok kişi tarafından oynanıyor. Benim çevremde de oynayan sayısı iyice arttı. Tahminim oyun çıktığı zaman şu ankinden oldukça farklı olacak. Genel mekanikler aynı olsa da, ünitelerin farklı olacağını, hatta bazı ekleme çıkarmalara olacağını tahmin ediyorum.

IRVINE, Calif., May 03, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that its highly anticipated real-time strategy game, StarCraft(R) II: Wings of Liberty(TM), will arrive in stores throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau starting on July 27, 2010. Players will also be able to purchase StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty directly from Blizzard Entertainment shortly after the retail launch.

Kelime anlamı olarak “yeniden oynamak, yeniden çalmak” olan bu terim artık RTS oyunların çoğundaki kaydedilmiş oyunlar için kullanılıyor. Bu kaydedilmiş oyun dosyalarını, ilgili oyunun, ilgili yerinden başlatıyorsunuz ve oyunu bir “observer” olarak herşeyi ile izleyebiliyorsunuz. Starcraft II Beta bunu artık bir adım ileri götürdü, artık bir oyuncunun ekran ve mouse hareketlerine kadar herşeyini görebiliyorsunuz.

Starcraft II Beta ‘da aşağıda gördüğünüz imajdaki yerden replay ‘leri izleyebilirsiniz. İzlemek istediğiniz dosyaları da

C:\users\%user%\Documents\Starcraft II Beta\Replays\Recent\

altına kopyalamanız gerekiyor.

Eski versiyonda oynanmış olan replay ‘leri izlemek istediğiniz zaman oyun kendisi sizi uyarıyor ve Battle.net ‘ten çıkıp eski versiyonu açıp size replay ‘i gösteriyor.

Gelelim şimdi nerelerden bu dosyaları bulabileceğinize. Bir süre sonra ben de buraya önemli gördüğüm maçları eklemeyi düşünüyorum. Ancak daha detaylı siteler şunlar:

Umarım bu sefer de bir gecikme olmaz ve duyurulan takvime uyularak Beta’yı Şubat ayı sonunda, Wings of Liberty ‘yi de 2010 ortalarında oynamaya başlarız.

Ne zaman başlayacağına dair bir bilgimiz yok, umarız seçiliriz ve size buradan oyunla ilgili izlenimlerimizi anlatabiliriz.
