Starcraft 2 is Blizzards next game, but you wont believe the details...
 
for those that havent already seen it, starcraft 2 (or starcraft ghost) is a shooter game (like halo i guess), single player (i think?) and meant for consoles only.

its pretty weak.. heres a quote

StarCraft®: Ghost?, Blizzard Entertainment?s upcoming tactical-action console game, refines the epic experience of StarCraft to the level of the individual soldier. Engage the StarCraft universe face-to-face as a deadly Ghost operative in the employ of the Dominion. With the help of determined allies, follow story-driven missions that take you from massive planetary battles through dangerous solo operations to an unexpected turn of events that leaves the fate of the universe in your hands.

Don't worry, knowing Blizzard they'll pull the project at the last minute...

Looks stupid.

Oh well, I'm still not bored with WarCraft 3 yet...

lawpal 09-19-2002 08:58 PM

remember, however, that warcraft iii was originally conceived as a first person battle game before they kept their original structure, albeit modified with heros

Sounds pretty lame :(

If blizzard jumping on the console bandwagon it best at least be for the X-box.

damn.
why put out a FPS in a crowded market when a good RTS game is always needed :(

wc3 is a good rts game. i don't know why they would make a fps game next either. sc is still so popular they could make twice as much by making sc2 a rts game.

Always read FAQ dude

Q: Is this StarCraft II?
A: No.
Q: Will there be a StarCraft II? When?
A: Although we have not made any announcements and do not have a development or release timeline, we do fully intend to revisit the world of StarCraft on PC at some point in the future.

'During a press conference today at the Tokyo Game Show, Blizzard Entertainment®, a studio of the games division of Vivendi Universal Publishing, unveiled StarCraft: Ghost?, a tactical-action console game set in Blizzard?s epic StarCraft® universe. StarCraft: Ghost is currently under development and is scheduled for a worldwide release on multiple console systems. The game will be co-published by Capcom and Blizzard Entertainment in Japan; further announcements regarding platform/country specifics will be announced in the months to come.'

'Co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Nihilistic Software, Inc.?, '

looks like blizzard is just putting their name on it.

I have complete faith in Blizzard. They have yet to provide anything but kickass gaming. Honestly, if they are only making this for consoles, it may be time for me to look at an Xbox. Might have to also find someone with experience in soldering :Graucho

Blizzard needs to make a Protoss spinoff

I want you to show me where they say anywhere that this is Starcraft 2?

And the other Warcraft game was not warcraft three it was also a spin off. Warcraft Tales or Stories or some shit like that.

I am glad that I don't believe 90% of what you guys spew out cause you always seem to post 90% bs and 10% fact.

Good Job!

Quite simply because FPS games are easier to market. The good ones have a massive following. Think of Half-Life. With the mods that have come out, people are STILL using it, and it's STILL being sold in stores. Coutner-Strike being the most popular. But there's Day of Defeat as well.

I love a good RTS too and I also love a good turn based game, like Jagged Alliance, but I also realize that there's a smaller hardcore market for them than the FPS.
