And the multi is all there from the start?
If so that aint a bad idea, as the current multirace RTS's all suffer from having the first few missions of each race being stupidly easy training missions.
I think announcing the dates would be a good thing though, not sure i'd want to wait another year for the next race...esp if the storytelling ends up as good as they are saying it will be. Blizzard being Blizzard they will:
A) Make a fantastic Starcraft 2 B) Milk it like a cow
We're gonna get great quality, but we're gonna have to pay for it... Oh yeah pcg put at the bottom of the article un der the details:
"Bigger and more ambitious - but at what cost? (about £80 probably)" well, at least blizzard has told us of its intentions so it gives me time to wait for many many years before i get it. Till then i'll play other games, but a new pc and probably play half life 2 and all its episodes (Yes, i haven't played THAT either because i'm waiting for episode 3 before i buy the game. Of course they can piss me off further by making a fourth episode). Blizzard is a single business entity. Therefore, it would be "Blizzard wants." I'm in the same boat as Johnway: I'm still waiting for Half-Life 2's third episode to be released before I buy and play any of them. I want access to the complete storyline. The same goes for Starcraft 2. Blizzard can do what they want in terms of production release (oh, and thanks for the unbiased take on certain gamers reaction to Blizzard's news, CVG. You score yet another point! *sarcasm*). Until Starcraft II is completely finished and released I won't be buying any part of them. I'd rather wait and get the whole story or not at all and besides, there'll be plenty of other games in the meantime. Think I'll buy one & pirate the other two. Balance is restored. 8) If they cut one game up into three pieces and sell it for three times the price, that wouldn't be on. If they manage to cut it into those three pieces, then beef up each one to much more than just a sliced-out third of a game, then that just means more Starcraft, and if they can flesh out the individual campaigns because of it that also means better Starcraft.
Blizzard didn't get famous initially without merit. WoW's content updates may contain a lot of repetitive grinding, but people flocked to it because Blizzard's back-catalogue is top quality. I'm well aware that they may have forgotten how to do that lately, but I'm going to remain optimistic that outside of their MMO dept, the good old Blizzard we all grew up to love is still there, fuelled now by a lot more moolah :D Each part is gonna be a game in itself! Just different plotlines. Your not going to have to pay £80 for starcraft, but you will have to pay that amount of money if you want the whole trillogy! This is not 1 game split into 3 parts. Its 3 seperate games! |
