I've been checking out the new information on this game since it's being featured at E3 and all... I also watched some of the trailers and gameplay videos.
It looks like a really sweet game! I really enjoyed Tribes and Tribes II and it seems to be pretty similar to those, but also much better. It kind of reminds me of Halo as well. I was never a big fan of Halo but I think SC:Ghost is doing a lot of things I really like. What do you guys think of it?

I think they should be redoing Starcraft as an updated RTS like they have been redoing Warcraft for years - I still play SC:Brood Wars, much prefer it to Warcraft.

Yeah, after StarCraft, I found WarCraft III to be disappointing. A new StarCraft RTS would be a welcome product, if they didn't screw it up (I've lost a bit of faith in Blizzard since WarCraft III).

I have precisely zero interest in Ghost. I don't object to expanding the StarCraft universe to other genres, I just don't have much interest in that one. I'd have been much happier with StarCraft: Wraith. I love a good combat flight sim.

"starcraft: ghost" would definitely be better than "starcraft: medic" though...

I agree they shoulda done another RTS Starcraft, but it'll still be cool to see the starcraft world from a close up view. I'm also anxious for more story line.

On a second note, Starcraft Medic would be better than Starcraft Larvae

Rushing Wind · May 25, 2005, 02:17 AM // 02:17

But wouldn't Starcraft: Larvae be entirely too much fun compared to Starcraft: Embryo?

It looked interesting back when I was at E3 in 2003...at this point it's been delayed and pushed back so much I think they'd be better served putting it out on Xbox360.

I also a agree that a new Starcraft RTS would be welcome.

Oh no not another crappy starcraft add on :P

i hate to do this to yall but, the reason Guild Wars was made is because the original Programers of allthe classic Blizzard games, (I.E. Starcraft wc1-3 and diablo) got s tuck working on the "ghost" project, since they left to come make guild Wars 3 years ago. nobody has really picked up ghost, to Bliz it has only been a side project and has made really no progerss, It was originally scheduled to release in September 2001, sad really if you ask me, because the longer they wait to release, the more and more it falls behind today's gameplay, if they release it after ps3 x360 and NR come out, then well its basically screwed.

^Or with that much development time, it becmes one of the best games ever. Doubtful, but hey, who knows.

I think a hybrid starcraft FPS/RPG would be great.

Anyone ever play the old Infantry before SOE bought it and screwed it up good?

I picture that in full 3d with massive battlefields. Earning experience to gain skills and money to buy new weapons and armor.

Aloren · May 25, 2005, 08:41 PM // 20:41

heh, I'd honestly like to see a pure sequel to Starcraft come out. there's still alot of story left and alot of things that can be explored.
How about the humans' infant psychich powers spoken of in the games?
Maybe put the new Starcraft 50 or so years down the line with the protoss no longer having such large distinctions between high and dark templar.
The zerg, obviously, would've assimilated more species over this time period, so we could see some interesting variety there, too.
just a thought

I've read a few things on the Blizzard/Starcraft website a while ago, and they had referred to "possibly revisiting the starcraft universe." Whether they intend to this with Starcraft: Ghost or with another RTS game I dont know. But I really hope they make another RTS game, since to me Starcraft was the best RTS and possible best game I have played. There are still thousands of players on Battle.Net(multiplayer) and the game has been out for a good number of years.
