Starcraft Ghost Update

Posted by Zonk on from the nuclear-launch-detected dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has an interview up with Blizzard creative director Chris Metzen and VP of business operations Paul Sams, where they discuss the status of the Starcraft Ghost title. From the article: "Basically the status of that is that we've kind of gone back and reassessed certain of the elements of the game that we felt needed to be refined. I think E3 was a big influence to us - we looked at other products that were in that genre, and felt as if we were quite competitive in many ways, but maybe there were some other things that we weren't getting to where we needed to go."

    We waited to see what cool new things others were doing that we could stuff in our game. Because, while we are Blizzard and make solid games, we usually don't break new ground.

  2. Unrelease, just in case by Palshife · · Score: 0, Troll

    A lot of companies, and fans and the press know, Blizzard doesn't release products until Blizzard believes they're done.

    And hey, if it turns out to be crap, we just unrelease it, right?

    ...JUST RELEASE THE FREAKING GAME ALREADY!

    Not that I'll buy it -- I'm still pissed at Vivendi over the bnetd debacle. Cocksuckers. (Nice to see all you WarCraft III and WoW players stuck to your principles on _that_ one.)
