Star Craft 2 rumored

[mannerbot]

Obviously. I admit that I would be more excited with another expansion pack than a sequel though, lol.

Evilavatar just reported this. Now that it's looking like fact I have to say, I'm shitting myself.

Starcraft is my favourite game ever, and imo, once all the patches were in and everything was balanced out, the best game ever made ever. I still play it all the time, and some of the campaign levels STILL give me trouble because I'm dick at micromanaging battles while continuing construction on things.

They could honestly reskin SC and I'd buy it all over again. Or release more missions.

This is the best possible news ever. Every year for Christmas I ask for another Starcraft. Someday before I turn 25, it seems like it'll be a reality. Life is sweet.

StarCraft is probably my favorite game also, I played pretty hardcore in high school. Haven't kept up with the progaming scene etc. or even played since then but the original (with Brood War of course) was truly unfuckwithable. Really hope they don't screw this one up because it would be just too easy to. The 3D thing is already one misstep imo.

It's not going to live up to expectations because it won't be the same exact thing, there will be a lot of bitching about how terrible it is and how Blizzard has failed and swearing off the series, and after a while of balance patching it will go from good to great but most will dismiss it anyway and talk about how awesome the old days were while playing neither one.

Well people shit on WoW at the beginning justifiably because they essentially released an incomplete game with some classes being grievously gimped and without many of the advertised features.

The only bad thing they could do to Starcraft is reduce the amount of units you could have at once and introduce upkeep like in Warcraft 3. I always liked the idea that WCIII, with heroes and limited units, became about micromanaging battles. I also liked how Starcraft was about having lots and lots of units whose attack type trumped other unit's armor type. That way you can still have strategic conflicts and large numbers of units fighting at once.

Heres the news that Cow was talking about.

I was referring mostly to a combination of fanatical fanbases in general and the initial response to WC3, not WoW.

lol well...I think they both received about the same treatment.

[MechDeus]

Yeah, I guess so. I attributed most of WoW's bitching to standard MMO bitching, but whatever.

WC3 was a well built game but it was not what I wanted to be playing. Upkeep was just an excuse for not being able to keep more units on screen due to 3D Graphics.
