And the crowd goes mild!
Oh look… It’s 40K Space Marine
Bold of them to assume that there will still be electricity, world wide web and freedom to play video games in 2030
Or a Blizzard, with the way Microsoft is handling their gaming division…
Blizzard is apparently their top earner, even more than Activision, so I would hope ms isn’t stupid enough to shutter them
Microsoft: hold my beer!
Blizzard can go fuck them self. I’m a big Starcraft fan. And i’m not going to buy anything from them. And i suggest everyone else does the same.
On stage at Blizzcon they said it’s an open world shooter
Ah well, I’m out. Love the cinematic, but man I would’ve loved another star craft rts that was refined or better.
I have no faith that current Blizzard would be able to beat StarCraft 2 anyways, they would just hurt the scene by dividing the playerbase more and SC3 would likely fizzle out sooner
Ain’t it a shame. Makes ya wonder if the folks who make these games actually even play em.
Hell, that should be a law for gaming. You have to play your game at least 3 to 4 times a month atleast to see the bullshit and fix it.
diablo 3+ has left a bad taste in peoples mouth about blizzard overall.
For all their faults Blizzard has never made a bad cinematic.
Granted!
If they were announcing Starcraft 3 (and it was going to be an RTS game) I can understand there being some excitement around it even four years in advance because there’s so few RTS games being made.
But a Starcraft shooter? Meh.
StarCraft II is one of my favorite games ever, but I have no faith in modern Blizzard to make a game that isn’t wrapped in trappings that would piss me off. Back in 2010, it was extremely annoying that the game required an internet connection and made us go through all sorts of wacky solutions just to have a LAN party. Nowadays, an online-only game is a non-starter for me. The story in SC2 jumped the shark after the Wings of Liberty campaign anyway.
they got bought out. diablo is pretty much a disaster
I played through Diablo 4, and honestly, the frustrating part is that there’s a genuinely good game buried underneath all the live-service bullshit.
The core gameplay works. The combat feels good, the classes are fun, the world is well designed, and there’s a solid Diablo game in there. If Blizzard had simply made it a traditional single-player Diablo game with optional online multiplayer, I think it could have been fucking phenomenal.
Instead, they decided they needed the live-service model.
And that created a massive problem: there was barely an endgame. Once you finished the campaign, the game basically became a loop of running the same types of activities over and over again, waiting for Blizzard to drip-feed additional content through seasons and updates. The live-service content wasn’t arriving quickly enough to justify the structure they’d built the entire game around.
That’s what pisses me off about modern game development. Publishers keep chasing the idea that every game needs to become an endlessly monetized platform. Sony wants it. EA wants it. Everyone wants the next Fortnite or Destiny, despite the fact that most of them can’t actually pull it off.
Diablo 4 didn’t need to be a live service.
It just needed to be a really fucking good Diablo game.
There was a damn good game in there. They just built the wrong fucking business model around it.
that is true, the lack of content after endgame is lacking.
So it’s
the sequellike Starcraft Ghost?Well, so far, they’re both exactly as released.
so its repurposing starcraft ghost.
Right? that’s the first thing that came to mind.
Please god i wish they would just release more sc2 coop commamders and missions.
i found it odd they suddenly stopped it early in the pandemic, guess they got lazy and worked on diablo instead.
Dont you guys have phones happened :/
The cinematic was fire, but I wasn’t getting “open world shooter” from it. Rather, I thought this was “Helldivers 2 with Starcraft window dressing,” which would be awesome I won’t lie.
i dont think fsp would be good with SC, should just say they have another sc3.
I’d love a Helldivers type game where I don’t have to worry about it frying my computer. A CTD or something I can stomach, but a full system freeze? In this economy?
Same. Smells like a (fairly generic) co-op shooter to me. It might end up being good, but with the state of blizzard and microsoft these days I’m not really excited for this.
Would have been nice to see some gameplay
I doubt they have any gameplay that could be shown yet
For me, the 2030 release date (+eventual delays) lines up with Microsoft’s recent push/wish for more games in their big franchises a couple of months ago, so this is probably still in some kind of pre-production.
I was thinking that it was going to be a mobile game until the Xbox logo at the end of the
Doesn’t the red armor means he’s a Firebat? The rifle going dry would explain that, those Overlords looked menacing as hell too
Nah, that.was just a classic set of Marine armor, but in Terran Dominion colors, as opposed to the more typical good guy blue. Given the speaker in the trailer sounds a lot like Arcturus Mengsk in full Emperor mode, I’m guessing that this game takes place in between SC 1&2. Maybe even during the Brood War? Seems like that would make sense for their open world shooter set up.
A game being announced for years in the future and all they have to show is a cinematic screams vaporware to me
I wish Metroid Prime 4 was vaporware lol
I remember the last time Blizzard announced a really cool StarCraft shooter. Anyone else play StarCraft Ghost? No? Yeah, exactly.
Do you mean the first time they announced StarCraft Ghost or the second time?
So this is actually the third time they’ve announced a Starcraft shooter.
I’ve played StarCraft Ghost at E3. So I have that going for me.
remember diablo immortal, that was just a money grab.
That just flopped because we didn’t have phones
Dude. Don’t you have a cell phone?!?
