CNC's past games were actually good ( except arguably generals).

Starcraft was crap. I don't expect this game to play any better, but this time they'll have rabid fanboys to flock to its defense, no matter how crappy it is.

You mean just like CNC3?

Haha. Had to try and land the cheap shot, didn't ya?

Truth be told, I was skeptical about C&C 3 for a while. Played the demo. Thought it was good. Played the game. Thought it was good.

And I never said it'll suck, I just said I don't expect it to be an improvement. I could be wrong. It's called readin' between the lines, man.

The only problems I ever saw with Starcraft was that I sucked at it (agh millisecond build orders) and that it's continued popularity locked RTSs into the same style for quite a while. I'm hoping that game studios won't slip back into that mine-resources-and-buy units approach - which starcraft 2 will probably revive. The people who are in for profit may just jump on the bandwagon again. Of course, maybe some will try to distance themselves as far as possible from it, which I really hope for, because the only innovation in the field recently was supcom, and even then only to a certain extent.

Well fans it looks like we can end this discussion because Blizzard is goin to release another fuckin WOW game before Starcraft 2 hits the stores. Here check it: http://www.gamespot....tml?sid=6171790

I know I am a fan of Starcraft but not a fan of those fuckin assholes at Blizzard.

Sorry for the cuss I am justed pissed by this news.

[Athena]

I'm pretty sure the same development team wouldn't develop both an RTS and an MMO. I rather have a good game than a half done or buggy one.

[Samael]

True but they are putting it off again like thet did to Starcraft ghost.

Have you actually read the article?

Blizz isn't putting the game off, they didn't even give an estimated date yet. The fanboy hype just expected it to be released this year. Second of all, they stated that they aren't working on ''another fuckin WOW game'', but on another next-gen MMO. Which by the way doesn't interfere with Starcraft 2's development since they are being developed by two different teams. Read first, then start complaining.

Thank you.

I personally wouldn't have been too interested in Ghost anyways, no Kerrigan, no Raynor, no Zeratul, no go...

However they are to far in production to postpone indefinitely, but not far enough to release it this year...

I only complained because it might be another WOW because they might use WOW engine.

That's not fair for Blizzard. StarCraft uses the Warcraft 2 engine, and it was not Warcraft in space like many thought

[adummy]

Interesting thing here.

The StarCraft: Battle Chest re-entered the top 10 selling PC games of the week (May 20th-26th).
This was all because of the announcement of StarCraft 2.

(off topic: There are only 3 differnet companies with games on the Chart. Blizzard (owned by Vivendi) with WOW, WOW:BC, and the StarCraft and Warcraft 3 battle chests, EA with CNC3, The Sims 2: Seasons Expansion Pack, The Sims 2 Deluxe, The Sims 2 Celebration Stuff Expansion Pack, and Battlefield 2142, and the 3rd being Midway with Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows Of Angmar. Actually, if you get rid of expansions and sequels, there are only 6 different games on there.)

[Jetz]

well, news from South Korea just came that Starcraft 2 has been announced. Gamespot and IGN both confirm it.

Youtube video. In-game screens

Anyone else really happy?

Oh shite!
It seems good old Starcraft has came back into action. (I'm really expected to meet Sarah Kerrigan again)

EDIT: I was expecting Blizzard to create a Starcraft sequel long ago.

What i tried i say before was: I really dislike the term next gen

[Verrückt]

Yeah but starcraft is hardly next gen material.

[Elerium]

Ugh those are the graphics? Yuck. I'm definitely staying away from this game.

[adummy]

a. this game isnt likely coming out for another 1 - 1 1/2 years
b. its still in pre-alpha
c. why are graphics everything?

[Verrückt]

Because are eyes have been spoiled by all the new beutiful games, and of course Bioshock.

[Elerium]

c. why are graphics everything?

I MUCH more prefer the gritty feel of the old Starcraft more than anything, not this cartoony Warcraft style, which should I dunno, remain in Warcraft?

[Nertea]

Yeah, I noticed how similar the grass environment looks to WC3's grass... I'm hoping that gets changed.
