Dark0ne Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I was hoping for Diablo 3. I need to do some catching up on the original SC storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonlissla Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Haha, what a joke. He can't be serious. *Checks link* Hmm, well... this.. was... um.. unexpected... *Faints* *Two hours later* At last, StarCraft 2! Thank you, Blizzard! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Surprise, surprise, Starcraft II, and it looks like it's just Starcraft with better graphics. Shock and horror, Blizzard going for the easy money again? After WoW and all the Diablo II developers leaving, I'm not at all surprised. My prediction: it'll suck, it'll have nothing at all innovative, and the legions of fanboys will buy it and praise it as god's gift to gaming anyway.

The RTS genere in general has fallen into the same old "build alot of one type of unit as fast as possible, rush into enemy base" stuff. Diablo 3 or even a Diablo MMO would have been a better money making decision. Even a starcraft MMO would have more merit than another RTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be so negative! ;D We all know that the game will never live up to the original StarCraft, and it will problably be one of those games where you "build alot of one type of unit as fast as possible, rush into enemy base" as Vagrant0 put it. But hell, I don't really care, as I'm only after the singelplayer portion of the game, to see what happens next after Kerrigans killing-spree. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a new interesting RTS coming out soon...World of Conflict. I believe a group of my friends managed to play a beta version at i30 and said it was very fun. Think it follows the same sort of model as Ground Control 2 where you get aquisition points for completing various objectives/holding various points. Similarly if you play multiplayer each player takes on a certain aspect of the fight; one for aircraft, one for tanks, one for infantry, etc. and games are only meant to last 25 mins give or take. Caught my attention. When I have a boring day I'll have to trawl through it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I would have compared it to this. And, in fact, looking at this entry, we find:*Two main races Terrans and Zerg of the Blizzard Entertainment game StarCraft are designed after the Terran Federation and the Arachnids of the book.
