If it does, I will jump off a bridge. I would rather spend $500 upgrading my PC to play it there than have a watered down crapsickle catering to the console masses. I was raeding the Starcraft 2 breaking news story on Gamespot and saw on the comments "WAHHH WHEN IS IT COMING TO XBOX 360?" Or something to that effect. I just want those that feel that way to know this: I'm jumping off a friggin' bridge the day you get that game on your stupid box.

Agreed, it's an RTS. C&C 3 was nice, but it wasn't as good as Supreme Commander.

Give the consoles Starcraft Ghost or Diablo 3, genres that would work much better as PC/Console multiplats.

Starcraft 2 will never come to consoles because of one very important reason: Bnet.

Actually the only known console RTS that were great/good were Stacraft 64, C&C3, and Pikmin.

You're such a platform loyalist that you'd rather commit suicide than conceded that Starcraft 2 *gasp* might be possible on a console? Was Command & Conquer 3 simply *ruined* because it exists on the Xbox 360? Get out of here with that nonsense. Pikmin and Pikmin 2 worked fine on the Gamecube, C&C3 was solid on the 360, and Starcraft 2 would (yes, I know, terribly hard to accept) be *just fine* on the Xbox 360 or PS3.

What are you going to do? Complain about the graphics? We've all been playing Starcraft just fine and it's as dated as you can get graphically - or are you going to go the "kb&m only!" route - despite C&C3 proving a control pad works *fine* for RTS gaming? Maybe try a cheap bash at Xbox LIVE, in spite of it being a proven online gaming service?

Frankly, all I see here is a PC gamer afraid that their platform no longer has anything distinguishing it, outside of the ability to upgrade their graphics card.

i really can care less but Blizzards track record says this isn't coming to the consoles, if it does it'll be months or a year after it's out on PC. i don't care i'm still buying it for a PC and won't even dare play it on a console it will tarnish the game for me.

Well I don't care if it comes to the consoles. The PC will be the only choice, due to superior controls and Battlenet.

Let him vent it's not coming to a Console and if it does it will be outsold 6 to 1 on a PC. i don't see a problem with Consoles getting a port just so they can try the game out but Blizzard will make this game for a PC and the controls won't be as forgiven as CNC3 cause it's got more to it than CNC3.

I love console gaming, and I agree with the TC 100%...... if SC2 comes to consoles I'll eat the batteries in my 360 & Wii controllers.

I'm pretty sure my Rig can handle SC2 anyways at pretty high settings..... Blizzard is well known for making their games run on a wide variety of machines, so no worries for me.

The TC has said that *death* is a better option than playing Starcraft 2 on an Xbox 360. "Starcraft 2 or death sir?" "errr... death, please!"

I'm not claiming this game is coming to the 360 or PS3, what I am claiming is that it's possible, and that it wouldn't be such a terrible game. Would it ever have the competitive level of playing on the PC? Maybe, maybe not, PC gamers like the kb&m speed - issuing commands so quickly it would make an amateur nauceous - but to claim such a thing is inheriently impossible on a controller, or that a console, simply by the nature of being a console, would "water down" the game is absurd.

If Microsoft suppored usb keyboards & mice for Starcraft 2 on the xbox 360, what would be the difference between playing it on the 360, and playing it on a mid-range PC? It's inferior simply by being a console? At heart - this is what hermits claim, and it's what annoys the heck out of everyone else.

I actually think if it does hypothtically come to a console it will be PS3 since it's more popular and more accesible in the Asian Markets. But i doubt it will happen Blizzard is so popular cause they stay on PC so there games gather hype and attention Console gamers might bring Blizzard name down(heck there people already saying Starcraft 2 doesn't look that good and there console gamers saying it)

I agree i don't think it will effect Starcraft 2 so much if it went to a console but i don;t think Blizzard is making it slow enough for a controller to handle. the only console would be PS3 since you can input a Mouse and keyboard. But if it does come to a console it won't be the same time the PC game comes out. I noticed in LOTR Battle for middle earth 2 for 360 and CNC3 for 360 on the PC they walk really slow and the gameplay is rather slow maybe they did this since they were trying to make it consistant for the Console but the speed of the games is slower paced.

It would require KB&M to be competitive with PC, thought you are aware the 360 supports USB KB&M, just not yet for games - it would be entirely possible for them to be enabled, it's not going to happen (it won't on PS3 either, PS3 doesn't support kb&m in games, and good luck running Starcraft 2 PC on your PS3)

In any case, I'm simply bothered by *anyone* who is such a platform loyalist that the meer announcement, before they've even seen the final game, of a game they like on another platform would warrant suicide. That's not funny, it's just a sick form of straight ignorance.

Well I hope it DOES, cuz I've waited years for this game, and my pc really cant handle it. What's wrong with other people getting to play a great game? seriously? if you think it will be downgraded, then dont buy it, ur getting the superior pc version anyways.

And if it doesnt come to 360 I'll just play it on my brothers pc, simple as that

Starcraft 2 will never come to consoles because of one very important reason: Bnet.Redmoonxl2

I've got a better reason: it'll sell a TRILLION copies on PC...there's nothing Blizzard can really gain by bringing it to consoles.  it's a waste of time and energy.

 Cool, considering there are only like 12-15billion people on earth, I'm guessing aliens loved Starcraft as well :P

But yeah this game is huge, I just hope that Blizzard keep the sparkle the original had. C&C3 was good but it just didn't feel like C&C I blame EA for pandering to the noobs who only ever played generals, who continue to influence the dev team which are now nerfing the only decent units that game has.

this game will be nothing more than SC1 with updated graphics, an updated storyline and a few new unit types.

 

JUST LIKE GOD INTENDED.  You don't reinvent perfection.  you simply update it and add onto it.

The only good Blizzard games are Diablo,

Warcraft/Starcraft are crap, Command and conquer is a much better RTS. The only people who play Starcraft are Koreans, why are you hyping this trashy sequel?

Well SC's and Blizzard's main audience is that on PCs, not on consoles, so if they were to make a console version, I'd expect them to develope the PC version then port it to consoles.  The main market for the game is PC, hence they will pour the energy into that piece of developement.  When it comes to multiplatform games, my real care is that the PC version is as well built as the console versions and then some for those with the best hardware.  What kills me about multiplatform games is the consoles will get first tier support and development, with PC gamers getting either a watered down port that runs terribly no matter what settings you run it at.*HINT HINT RAINBOW SIX VEGAS*

That is completely racist.

[QUOTE="peacebringer"][QUOTE="subrosian"][QUOTE="peacebringer"][QUOTE="mismajor99"]

[QUOTE="subrosian"]You're such a platform loyalist that you'd rather commit suicide than conceded that Starcraft 2 *gasp* might be possible on a console? Was Command & Conquer 3 simply *ruined* because it exists on the Xbox 360? Get out of here with that nonsense. Pikmin and Pikmin 2 worked fine on the Gamecube, C&C3 was solid on the 360, and Starcraft 2 would (yes, I know, terribly hard to accept) be *just fine* on the Xbox 360 or PS3.

What are you going to do? Complain about the graphics? We've all been playing Starcraft just fine and it's as dated as you can get graphically - or are you going to go the "kb&m only!" route - despite C&C3 proving a control pad works *fine* for RTS gaming? Maybe try a cheap bash at Xbox LIVE, in spite of it being a proven online gaming service?

Frankly, all I see here is a PC gamer afraid that their platform no longer has anything distinguishing it, outside of the ability to upgrade their graphics card.

Wow, that's an ignorant statement to make.

Let him vent it's not coming to a Console and if it does it will be outsold 6 to 1 on a PC. i don't see a problem with Consoles getting a port just so they can try the game out but Blizzard will make this game for a PC and the controls won't be as forgiven as CNC3 cause it's got more to it than CNC3.



The TC has said that *death* is a better option than playing Starcraft 2 on an Xbox 360. "Starcraft 2 or death sir?" "errr... death, please!"

I'm not claiming this game is coming to the 360 or PS3, what I am claiming is that it's possible, and that it wouldn't be such a terrible game. Would it ever have the competitive level of playing on the PC? Maybe, maybe not, PC gamers like the kb&m speed - issuing commands so quickly it would make an amateur nauceous - but to claim such a thing is inheriently impossible on a controller, or that a console, simply by the nature of being a console, would "water down" the game is absurd.

If Microsoft suppored usb keyboards & mice for Starcraft 2 on the xbox 360, what would be the difference between playing it on the 360, and playing it on a mid-range PC? It's inferior simply by being a console? At heart - this is what hermits claim, and it's what annoys the heck out of everyone else.

I agree i don't think it will effect Starcraft 2 so much if it went to a console but i don;t think Blizzard is making it slow enough for a controller to handle. the only console would be PS3 since you can input a Mouse and keyboard. But if it does come to a console it won't be the same time the PC game comes out. I noticed in LOTR Battle for middle earth 2 for 360 and CNC3 for 360 on the PC they walk really slow and the gameplay is rather slow maybe they did this since they were trying to make it consistant for the Console but the speed of the games is slower paced.

It would require KB&M to be competitive with PC, thought you are aware the 360 supports USB KB&M, just not yet for games - it would be entirely possible for them to be enabled, it's not going to happen (it won't on PS3 either, PS3 doesn't support kb&m in games, and good luck running Starcraft 2 PC on your PS3)

In any case, I'm simply bothered by *anyone* who is such a platform loyalist that the meer announcement, before they've even seen the final game, of a game they like on another platform would warrant suicide. That's not funny, it's just a sick form of straight ignorance. 

Please, these are the same people who cry about PS3 games becoming multiplatform.  Who care's if it goes to another platform?  What platform will you get it for?  There is NO reason to whine if Starcraft 2 comes to a console, because you'll still get it for PC.

It weakens the "PC gaming is dead" argument.

The only good Blizzard games are Diablo,

Warcraft/Starcraft are crap, Command and conquer is a much better RTS. The only people who play Starcraft are Koreans, why are you hyping this trashy sequel?

Nice opinion you have there.

If it does, I will jump off a bridge. I would rather spend $500 upgrading my PC to play it there than have a watered down crapsickle catering to the console masses. I was raeding the Starcraft 2 breaking news story on Gamespot and saw on the comments "WAHHH WHEN IS IT COMING TO XBOX 360?" Or something to that effect. I just want those that feel that way to know this: I'm jumping off a friggin' bridge the day you get that game on your stupid box.Redfingers
 You guys are like freakin' smeagel stingy i just don't see the harm if this comes to consoles.

Some believe it tends to simplify the game mechanics to appeal to a wider audience and a more austere hardware configuration.

Can't see why it shouldn't. C&C on PC didn't suffer because of the 360 version. Mouse and keyboard would help it some though. I have the option of which version to play on all PC/360 games, so I don't really care.

Agreed, it's an RTS. C&C 3 was nice, but it wasn't as good as Supreme Commander.

Give the consoles Starcraft Ghost or Diablo 3, genres that would work much better as PC/Console multiplats.

Diablo 3 on consoles would own 8)

The only console that would probrably work good with RTS games are the Wii and DS.

The RTS games for the 360 looks okay, but it doesn't play the same.
