I wrote a couple of posts about the game at the time the official announcement was made. I was and am still very excited about it, can’t wait to take control of my armies again and start wasting countless hours of my life.

Ever since the official announcement Blizzard has worked hard to keep the hype going by revealing small portions of the gameplay at a time on their site. Not that they needed to considering the extremely morbid and dedicated community of fans out there.
During the E3 2007 conference a new gameplay video was released. The video was narrated by Chris Sigaty. Note that the label on the video at the time was “internal alpha”. He does mention it will be playable at Blizzcon though and also says there will be a beta (though it might not be a public one).

In case you needed any more reasons to want to go to BlizzCon, they’ve just announced that convention-goers will be treated to a playable demo of StarCraft II. Of course, who knows how much “playable demo” there is to the game yet, but but Blizzard tells us that “attendees can sample the new units and gameplay elements for themselves in multiplayer battles.” — WoWInsider

So Starcraft 2 may not be “that” far away after all. But I want it now!

Blizzard has now release a Terran gameplay video (embedded low-res here). A high definition release of the video is available for download here (roughly 600MB)
