Starcraft Ghost
on: January 02, 2006, 10:03:07 pm
The more of those trailers I watch for this game, the more I wish it's potential wasn't wasted on a console. I don't even think it's coming out for XBox 360.


A game like this should seriously be on PC.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

No, it's Xbox... After who knows how many years... And it don't look pretty compared to everything else that's coming out now.

Your stealth suit is white and gaudy with neon lights on it! How ingenious!

It looks alright, if a little out of date. But the fact they cancelled the Gamecube version means I'll never play it and further deepens my contempt for Blizzard.

And there won't be a port, eh? Lordie, what took them so long??

It was supposed to be released one or two years ago. I was starting to think that it would be like Duke Nukem Forever. :D

But Gamecube sucks anyway. :p

*Leers at Kosh*

When did Blizzard cancel the GCN version, and for what purpose!? I've been looking forward to getting it for my 'Cube for years!

The screens look like crap, even compared to something like Halo:CE much less HL2.

Sounds like they're focusing on the multiplayer side, making me even less interested.

And Deepblue, it's a Blizzard game. Graphics has never been their strong point.

Graphics are never intended to be their strong suit.  But considering art has always been their strongest suit, I am shocked that it is not found in this game.  If you ask me, it looks like it was abandoned, patched up, and 'completed'.

There is more to gaming than graphics y'know.

But then, you're completely right. This'll undoubtedly turn out exactly the same as C&C Renegade; a great concept that just didn't mesh as well as it could have...

At least it means Starcraft as a whole isn't totally dead. Maybe after this they will finally make StarCraft 2.

It's not like Blizzard is known for releasing games early...

I just hope this game doesn't kill the franchise. :doubt:

May you burn in the deepest, darkest possible hell for saying that. Unless you misspelled "doesn't".

And I'm not going to be convinced this is going to be released until I actually see it on a shelf somewhere...

I have recently come into following conclusion: WH40K universe is just so much better than Starcraft's ripoff version. And Starcraft is no longer the best RTS I've played.

I am GW's *****.

When it comes to the balanceing of Dawn of War agains Starcraft I would still prefere Starcraft.
Both are good games and sure the Warhammer game is more modern (nice graphics and stuff) but what make me prefere Starcraft was the good balance between the parties....but I have to admit that I also like DOW a lot.

Well to be honest they both ripped eachother off. The Tyranids had an obvious art change after Starcraft's release...

Starcraft I like mainly because it has the drastic tech differences of the more B5/Aliens-ish Humans, 'Trekish Protoss, and the ever so gooey Silithid... ermm Zerg.

I could like 40K a lot more if not for the North Korean-esque-ness of the Imperium.

IMO, if they really want a faction that's interesting to play as "the best hope for humanity" they'd do better to emulate Rifts' Coalition States. They're still arseholes, but they're likeable enough to stand, and they really come across as being the best hope, instead of holding humanity back.
