starcraft 2 , now what?

now that blizzard is starting to get on the ball and work on stuff besides wow. How about catching up on some of there classics they need to make.  Like Diablo 3 , Diablo , and Diablo 2 were great games . How about a 3rd.    And warcraft , MMO Rpg's are great but how about warcraft IV for the RTS fans.  Warcraft has a pretty good story line so theres a lot that they can build on.

p.s. What ever happend to Starcraft: Ghost .  I havn't heard about that one for a year. 

they wil eventually.

btw starcraft ghost got cancelled a long time ago

 It is SC II's turn in the cycle..seriously how can you all be so selfish lol...omfg..anyhow Im betting D III is next on the cycle, it HAS to be.

Wouldn't it be nice if they made a new IP.... :question:shoden

Intellectual property. A new game, series. 

As excited as I am about StarCraft 2, I still would like to see Ghost becoming a reality! Was watching some in game videos I had downloaded a while back with regards to the multiplayer side of Ghost and it looked real great... it then lead me to think of the following... what you guys think?

 What if StarCraft 2 was a standard RTS but allowed you to take the FPS or RP position of main characters at certain points of the the game ie. when a ghost is seting up a nuke strike, you go into a FPS or RP mode. I think this would give you a closer feel of the actiction and would make game play intense!

I know that PC hardware and software is at the stage that it can be done... with Quad Cores and DX10 I don't see why games in the future could be like this!

What we need is...

TOTAL WAR: WARCRAFT

Now that would be a fun game.

I think game developers need to not just "think out of the box" but throw the box out. there are always new games coming out... but they tend to become just more of the same thing... like playing games from 5 years ago with just better graphics!

I think the next big "thing" in gaming will be something so different and unique that it will need a whole new term to define it... but in the mean time StarCraft 2 will keep me waiting like a four year old on Christmas eve!

Well there was an RTS that came fairly close to this with a close up third person view and RP features it was the Spellforce series. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that implemented into SC2 either.

Considering that the devs are planning to make the game moddable, a mod team could probably do something similar to that if they wanted.  

Yeah true, there have been games that have tried in the past, but I think technology held them back from realy doing a good job of it. Now with all the new PC rig and gear like DX10, games are going to look way more realistic and have totally new game play features purely because of processing power. I just hope that StarCraft 2 will be both DX9.c and DX10... otherwise it will be time for a new PC and that will me forking oput a huge sum... again!Brendonius

There will probably be no such thing as a DX10 only game for a very long time. 2-3 years at the least.  

Starcraft: Ghost was cancelled probably because of WoW.

Starcraft II will be awesome, but as with almost all blizzard games, it will take 2-3 years before it is released. 

If you are interested in SC2, then join my union! The link is in my sig.

The tag somes it up, "Hell, it's about time!", just finished reading the outline of the game play and strategy, this game is going to rock! Now they just must give a release date and stick to it!Brendonius

Haven't you watched the gameplay trailer yet? The game looks absolutly incredible.

I'm just hoping they brush up on the artistic design of the graphics. The style is far too much like warcraft 3 IMHO.  

Starcraft Ghost is dead... Dont even mention it... was going good at first... then... urggghhh haha

Diablo III is up next... rack one in the win column for Starcraft II its gonna be one good year :P

"Hell, Its about time." 

Honestly, I was hoping for a Starcraft MMORPG... but I'd say its pretty hard to manage two mmos at the same time.

I'm glad they are realizing that they should stick with the original 3 races and focusing on the same balance as the original Starcraft. It's a really hard game to make, consider what a high bar starcraft has set. I hope they don't screw it up much like they have Warcraft III :P (Don't get me wrong, I like warcraft III, but it wasn't better than WC2 or even starcraft :P)

Starcraft Ghost was cancelled for last-gen (Xbox, PS2, Gamecube) because Blizzard thought it was stupid working on it for soon to be (at the time) defunct consoles, they were never (PUBLICALLY) working on Ghost for the current generation, 360 etc.  Of course this is another reason why it should have been on the PC as well 

Starcraft: Ghost was cancelled probably because of WoW.

doomsdaydave11

Why do people believe this? Theres no evidence of it, and Ghost was being worked on by an entirely seperate development team than the team working on WoW. Blizzard first licensed the game to be developed by Nihilistic, then after Blizzard didn't like the direction they were going on gave the game to Swingin' Ape Studios, and eventually bought the studio out entirely and named it Blizzard Console. But eventually they just delayed the game indefinatly. WoW or the people managing it had nothing to do with Ghost.

For the Diablo crowd.  How do you know Blizzard isn't already in the process of making a sequal.  Hell...we didn't even know anything about Starcraft 2 (for certain) until they let it out of the bag.  As far as we know, Diablo 3 could already be in development.  Keep in mind Blizzcon is coming up in August....they could very well unleash a bomb and tell us Diablo 3 is on the way.Ryanzbane

according to blizzard, work on starcraft 2 started in 2003, after work on the frozen throne wrapped up, so i'd wager that blizzard has at least 1 or 2 more non-wow-non-starcraft-2 projects in at least pre-production right now - there's always an overlap with big companies

i think blizzard's next two full blown titles will be diablo 3 and world of starcraft, but there's bound to be a new wow expansion every 12-18 months as well

i doubt anything'll be announced this side of 2010 though, expansions aside...

Oh man you have it all wrong, (in my opinion).  There are already way too many MMORPG out there.  Each one you have to buy then you have to pay monthly.  I love games and online experience but Battle.net for starcraft and warcraft when it was free was ideal.  Too many of the new games are Online pay monthly. UGH!!

Also i wish they would have added at least 1 race to starcraft 2.  Dont get me wrong I cant wait to play it, however it looks like the regular starcraft with an expanison including improved graphics and a few new things. 

I cant wait for the day of some new noval games to be released that doesnt lean on the past of the classics and end up getting it all wrong.
