Blizzard Announces New Starcraft Game

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rolling-forth-the-juggernaut-of-hype dept.

About a zillion readers wrote in to tell us about all the commotion over at the Blizzard site. Following a countdown, they've announced the latest Starcraft game, Starcraft: Ghost. Note that this game will be console-only, and the FAQ is very adamant that this is not a Starcraft 2.

  1. I remember that game... by Burgundy+Advocate · · Score: 2, Troll

    Sounds a lot like Command & Conquer: Renegade to me.

    I just hope they do a better job with the storyline. God, that sucked. A few missions in and suddenly... what? I'm done already?!? LAME!

    Even Unreal Tournament had a better story arc, and that's really saying something.

    Goodness me. Who would have guessed. A Starcraft game. How unexpected. *heavy sarcasm*

  3. blizzard's biggest mistake... by sethstorm · · Score: 0, Troll

    All I can really say is, that the only reason they're gambling on console only, is to cut out the bnetd folks from the equation, since they're nearly guaranteed to have some measure of *cough* elitist *cough* antipiracy builtin. I'll revel to see them be forced to make a PC version or die as a company dishonorably, where bnetd'll be the *only* choice for the greater of the crowd.

  4. I won't buy... by Eric+Damron · · Score: 3, Troll

    Maybe when they stop trying to kill the bnetd project I'll consider buying from them again.

    I can't help it. I just have a hard time giving my money to a company that is trying to kill a great open source project by using the DMCA.

    So until they stop what they're doing to the bnetd group, I say fuck 'em!
