Starcraft: Ghost....

[TMA_1]

Well that is the new game slated for about 4th quarter of 2003. It sounds like an action adventure game. Trying to do the same thing that they did with warcraft. here is some info I got from sci fi.com

Can't wait :) Xbox ruuuuuuuuules.

no, it's a tactical shooter. It won't be as much overkill like in renegade but you will have to fight a lot but you won't be strong yourself. You have to do sneaky covert operation, cloack, lockdown and other psi abilities are needed to survive. You can drive vehicles and stuff though like the wraith and the vulture. It sounds very cool to me but i must firt buy a xbox +mouse +keyboard for that

[Acriku]

Why a mouse/keyboard if you get an Xbox? Anyways, in the single player when you are inside it resembles an action game, like MGS:SL.

[Terror]

I can't play with those damn gamepads :). Aiming is way too hard with those things (arent they made for zerg or something? :) ) i prefer the mouse/keyboard

[Acriku]

I guess it takes a lot of skill to operate a gamepad :D I gotz mad skills.

[exatreide]

me to i own all in halo.

in a past game against gila.

it was 50 to 2 in deathmatch.

now thats mad skills ;D

[Terror]

well, mouse and keyboard requires skill too because you also play vs. people with a lot of skill in that. But let's be realistic. For RTS and FPS games mouse/keyboard is definetly better. I mean. I've played golden eye on N64 and a friend of mine (who had that N64) was realy good with it but not even he could beat the mouse/keyboard. Aiming is just way harder with gamepads. C'mon i've even seen people play quake3 on ps2. jesus christ. Strafing they can but aiming up and down with a gamepad takes way too long

[exatreide]

thats why u need a little thing called halo ;D

it has mouse sensitiviy things.

so u can change how fast u aim.

[Acriku]

I agree mouse/keyboard is better, but doesn't mean gamepad sucks. Gamepad needs skills not brought to you by mousepad. And Ex, 50 to 2...good, but then again: AGAINST GILA. Just kiddin ;) I could needle your arse if I could fight you in Halo :)

[Anathema]

Terror are you actually going to buy an X box just for this :O?

[Terror]

i hope not. if it just comes our for PC definetly not. if it does not i'm not sure if i will buy one

[Anathema]

I do hope they'll release it on PC afterall. Not because it sounds particulary great, but because...well, it's Starcrafty :-.

[Terror]

yeah true, it DOES sound great to me and starcraft was for pc so why not Starcraft: ghost? The fans want it so desperately

[TMA_1]

Personally, I kinda dislike how Blizzard keeps trying to create sideline games. Like before Warcraft III they tried to make a cartoon adventure game about an orc raised by humans. It sounds neat but its not what the people wanted. I think they should just make the RTS games and finish the story of it. Then make other add-on games such as fps games and adventure games. just my opinion though.

This is also the reason why they stopped with that warcraft adventure. It wasn't as good as they hoped it would be and fans rather had another RTS so they abandoned the adventure. Blizzard just had success in its current genres (RTS and RPG) and just wants to try other ways. Now it is busy making a MMORPG and a tactical shooter for on console. Well they have made console games before so i don't think that will be the problem. Ofcourse trying a total new gamestyle is dangerous. I mean C&C renegade was pretty fun but not that much of a success. But westwood too tries to make games on different fronts and I encourage that. If it is disappointing many people say that they made a big mistake even trying to make such a different game but without trying it will never work. And as for blizzard they've never made a game that wasn't an instant success

I will point out, for the eighteen millionth time, BLIZZARD IS NOT DOING SC: GHOST!!! They are simply paying to have their name on the box. >:(

[Terror]

that is true but their name is responsible. If the game sucks it is blizzard that will take the hit. and i mean, blizzard north for instance may be part of blizzard but it also another team than the other blizzard guys (hell you know what i mean).

[DukeLeto]

I hope Blizzard takes a HARD hit. Serves 'em right for ignoring the fans. >:(

Not just against Gila. But about 5 other people. another of them was a so called "pro" this pro had only beat the game on mediem. I have beat it three times on legendary(becouse i have no life) Well the best he did was 5 to 50.

Thats with infinite gernades. and on blood gultch. :)

[Acriku]

So-called pros always suck. And also, are you gonna play on XboxLive? I will. Blood gulch is fun, you can hide in the side canyons and snipe their arses. I also like rocketing their humvees into the air, weeeee.

[exatreide]

i might get it.

i do wana show acriku the meaning of "blood" gultch :)

[Dude_Doc]

Nah, I won't buy the X-box if SC:Ghost is never released on PC. I think they said something about Halo coming out to PC next year. I was so dissapointed when they announced SC:Ghost instead of SC2, like I were before when they said Halo was only for the X-box. I think more and more people are playing on PC nowadays, and I think they should. Consoles only take up space, even if it's not much, the price is just far too expensive, and the games to the box are also far too expensive, at least here in Sweden. I will rather wait for SC2, for 5 years now...

[Terror]

well, i have some interesting news for all starcraft fans. I read an interview with bill roper and he said that they are working at multiple projects at a time and he said that starcraft fans with pc do not have to worry because perhaps starcraft II will come out at the same time as starcraft: ghost. Now i'm not saying that they're making starcraft II right now nor do i think it will come out together with starcraft: ghost but the chance is pretty high blizzard is already working on it now but haven't announced it yet. (i mean they already worked at starcraft: ghost for a year and just announced it a few days ago)

[Anathema]

They did say they intend to make another PC game about Starcraft, but they did not say what sort of game it would be or wehn.
