Remind me to be excited in 4 years.
remember ghost, peppridge farm doesnt.
If they were announcing Starcraft 3 (and it was going to be an RTS game) I can understand there being some excitement around it even four years in advance because there’s so few RTS games being made.
But a Starcraft shooter? Meh.
I was going to say Starcraft 2 wings of liberty, that came out in 2010. They then proceeded to release two expansions that fell short in both the story telling and game play.
God, I was so pissed when Kerrigans solution was… To undo the events of WOL and just become a zerg before, indistinguishable, but somehow “primal”
and then become a xelnaga/zerg hybrid at the end, and completely ignored the protoss part of the game.
Blizzard can go fuck them self. I’m a big Starcraft fan. And i’m not going to buy anything from them. And i suggest everyone else does the same.
Would have been nice to see some gameplay
I doubt they have any gameplay that could be shown yet
For me, the 2030 release date (+eventual delays) lines up with Microsoft’s recent push/wish for more games in their big franchises a couple of months ago, so this is probably still in some kind of pre-production.
Bold of them to assume that there will still be electricity, world wide web and freedom to play video games in 2030
Or a Blizzard, with the way Microsoft is handling their gaming division…
Blizzard is apparently their top earner, even more than Activision, so I would hope ms isn’t stupid enough to shutter them
Microsoft: hold my beer!
I was thinking that it was going to be a mobile game until the Xbox logo at the end of the
The cinematic was fire, but I wasn’t getting “open world shooter” from it. Rather, I thought this was “Helldivers 2 with Starcraft window dressing,” which would be awesome I won’t lie.
Same. Smells like a (fairly generic) co-op shooter to me. It might end up being good, but with the state of blizzard and microsoft these days I’m not really excited for this.
i dont think fsp would be good with SC, should just say they have another sc3.
I’d love a Helldivers type game where I don’t have to worry about it frying my computer. A CTD or something I can stomach, but a full system freeze? In this economy?
So it’s
the sequellike Starcraft Ghost?so its repurposing starcraft ghost.
Right? that’s the first thing that came to mind.
Well, so far, they’re both exactly as released.
Please god i wish they would just release more sc2 coop commamders and missions.
i found it odd they suddenly stopped it early in the pandemic, guess they got lazy and worked on diablo instead.
Dont you guys have phones happened :/
StarCraft II is one of my favorite games ever, but I have no faith in modern Blizzard to make a game that isn’t wrapped in trappings that would piss me off. Back in 2010, it was extremely annoying that the game required an internet connection and made us go through all sorts of wacky solutions just to have a LAN party. Nowadays, an online-only game is a non-starter for me. The story in SC2 jumped the shark after the Wings of Liberty campaign anyway.
they got bought out. diablo is pretty much a disaster
I played through Diablo 4, and honestly, the frustrating part is that there’s a genuinely good game buried underneath all the live-service bullshit.
The core gameplay works. The combat feels good, the classes are fun, the world is well designed, and there’s a solid Diablo game in there. If Blizzard had simply made it a traditional single-player Diablo game with optional online multiplayer, I think it could have been fucking phenomenal.
Instead, they decided they needed the live-service model.
And that created a massive problem: there was barely an endgame. Once you finished the campaign, the game basically became a loop of running the same types of activities over and over again, waiting for Blizzard to drip-feed additional content through seasons and updates. The live-service content wasn’t arriving quickly enough to justify the structure they’d built the entire game around.
That’s what pisses me off about modern game development. Publishers keep chasing the idea that every game needs to become an endlessly monetized platform. Sony wants it. EA wants it. Everyone wants the next Fortnite or Destiny, despite the fact that most of them can’t actually pull it off.
Diablo 4 didn’t need to be a live service.
It just needed to be a really fucking good Diablo game.
There was a damn good game in there. They just built the wrong fucking business model around it.
that is true, the lack of content after endgame is lacking.
A game being announced for years in the future and all they have to show is a cinematic screams vaporware to me
I wish Metroid Prime 4 was vaporware lol
I remember the last time Blizzard announced a really cool StarCraft shooter. Anyone else play StarCraft Ghost? No? Yeah, exactly.
I’ve played StarCraft Ghost at E3. So I have that going for me.
Do you mean the first time they announced StarCraft Ghost or the second time?
So this is actually the third time they’ve announced a Starcraft shooter.
remember diablo immortal, that was just a money grab.
Dude. Don’t you have a cell phone?!?
That just flopped because we didn’t have phones
Doesn’t the red armor means he’s a Firebat? The rifle going dry would explain that, those Overlords looked menacing as hell too
Nah, that.was just a classic set of Marine armor, but in Terran Dominion colors, as opposed to the more typical good guy blue. Given the speaker in the trailer sounds a lot like Arcturus Mengsk in full Emperor mode, I’m guessing that this game takes place in between SC 1&2. Maybe even during the Brood War? Seems like that would make sense for their open world shooter set up.
And the crowd goes mild!
Oh look… It’s 40K Space Marine
