Starcraft: Ghost

[Ken-E]

Blizzard's been making games like Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. I decided to backtrack the events were in they planned to release Starcraft: Ghost because it looks like a very promising shooter game that wasn't even release, then when you looked up the internet people, it is said it was only postponed and they might be planning a release for the next gen consoles and PC.

Opinions about Starcraft: Ghost anyone?

 

[VeljkoM]

Deader then dead. And even if they suddenly make it it was never planed on PC to be released it was console game and I doubt they have been working on it when they are making starcraft 2 expansions, never ending wow expansion, diablo 3 and that new mmo Titans (and if there is any truth to the leaked infos blizz doesn't plan to make neither starcraft ghost or warcraft 4 in at least 5 years).

By the way you remembered to ask Misha about making this right?

 

[Misha]

yes, i granted him that

 

[VeljkoM]

Oh then sorry me doubting you sir and I welcome your effort to bring life to this group...so does anyone have any recent blizzard info about game?

 

[Misha]

not sure about it, at all.. i sure wanted something like shooter from starcraft.. '~'

 

[Tleno]

Blizzard kinda like have bad relations with consoles, so I hope SC: Ghost will ever be reborn.. and if it will, I'm most certain it will be released on PC, too.

Also, it seems Blizzard burried their game completely, too. Like in one of Starcraft 2 scap recycling ceonveyor models (Deadman's port) you can sometimes see the conveyor transporting boxes with some old Warcraft Adventures or whatever it's called game and with Starcraft: Ghost.

 

[Misha]

yes indeed x)

 

[Misha]

hm.. too few replies here.. should i clean it? Oo

 

[Tleno]

Sure. I mean, not much into about that game anyways.

 

[Misha]

well.. let's give it a lill more time
after all, SC2 got Nova in the campaign x)

 

[VeljkoM]

Well she got a book too but her game is down the drain. Blizz just can't make console games. Unless they are intentionally planing to break Duke Nukems record in "longest awaited game".

 

[Tleno]

Yes, that's the thing. They themselves decided this game will NEVER come.

 

[VeljkoM]

Well they decided that Arthas and Nerz'hul are same yet we have all seen WoW expansion that openly contradicts Blizzard statement. Never trust what Blizzard says.

 

[noob]

It is not blizzard who made wow it is their necessity of money.

 

[Tleno]

Maybe you tryed to sound smart but... you're wrong. before WoW, MMOs weren't as popular at all. And, you see, they just had a lot of ideas for MMO, so they decided to create one, and back when working on it, they cared about players a lot.
Expansions... well yea, somewhat that's money milking, but overall MMO genre demands constant updates no matter if game is free or you have to pay monthly fee.

Blizzard aren't greedy at all, they only care to mae good games.

Otherwise, they were bought by Activision, and Activision... athey're money milking assholes ruled by captain moneysucking asshole, named Bobby Kotick.

 

[VeljkoM]

Well Blizzard like many companies used to care about making good games. Now gaming industries are corporations like any other, making products for money and not fun. However unlike other companies Blizzard still cares about quality of their new products as they relise if people are happy they will be glad to spend their money.

Tleno it could be worse. Imagine if it was EABlizzard?

 

[Tleno]

Yea, but it could have been better too. Imagine Valve Blizzard!

 

[Misha]

that really would've been good

 

[VeljkoM]

I'll think that valve is good when they return to Half Life instead of never ending Hatmania in Tf2. Also they are making Dota 2 despite it being wc3 community owned map.

 

[The Wizard]

I hope the'll make it some day, but... i don't think they want to cwork on this game

 

[Misha]

hmm.. this discussion was inactive a "lill bit" more..

 

[clockwork2]

I wonder, if this game is made, will it show more into what ghosts CAN do? I imagine that if protoss can do storms of psionic energy, truly gifted terrans can do something amazing?

 

[Misha]

wouldn't really know..

 

[Ken-E]

While not exactly good or new news about this game but Nihilistic Software, the one who's been working on it, still has Starcraft: Ghost on their front page or something like that, they even made a facebook page community for this game.

So if there's a chance that this game could be revived for PC and the new gen consoles, that would be awesome.

 

[Misha]

interesting

oh btw.. it's been a while since anyone has put up new SC pictures ^^

 

[clockwork2]

Ahh, well when I make good progress on my SC project maybe I'll post a photo.

 

[Misha]

hope that'll be soon :b

 

[clockwork2]

Eheh...well I kinda been shirking my work. But I'll get my butt into workin on it soon!
