Starcraft 2 Interview and a few new Terran units!
Shacknews have interviewed Blizzard rep Bob Colayco about Starcraft II, here are a few snippets:
The new Photon Cannons, named Phase Cannons, can warp from place to place, entirely mobile within power range of their Pylons. Many units have seen upgrades or changes in this way, such as the Archons changing into Twilight Archons, which can be made from any combination of either Dark or Light Templars. The interceptor-swarming Carrier, now renamed the Tempest, is functionally similar to its forebear, but features some slight variations to its strategic value.
"What's different about the Tempest is that as of now, it's a little bit cheaper to build [than the Carrier], less minerals and gas," Colayco notes. "And also, the undercarriage shield is very thick against ground attacks, so you can see it can absorb quite a few missiles before it gets through the shield. This makes it good for assaulting bases, but more vulnerable against aircraft."
Also GosuGamers have uncovered that Swedish magazine Super Play had an exclusive look at the new StarCraft 2 game. In it, they show a bunch of new Terran units. How about a Viking Fighter, Thor and the Sensor Dome?
