What do you guys think about StormGates, the new game from FrostGiants, planned for 2023.

It’s a RTS, with different species to control like Humans from future earth (wich seem to replace Terrans), some kind of Demons (Zerg-Diablo mix), and other species (probably those ancient warriors (protoss).
Since it’s the team who made StarCraft II, it feel like it’s the real SC successor, with the 3 species, coop campaign mode, campaign mission, versus, esport, Editor to creat games (Arcade mode)
Eager to hear more about it.
It will be free to play, and they said there will be always more campaign mission added to it.
Here is the page about the game https://playstormgate.com/
And finally, there, it’s an article with all the info about the what has been said on the game https://venturebeat.com/games/frost-giant-studios-unveils-social-real-time-strategy-game-stormgate/
I think its easy to be excited for a game thats a year out when youre free to imagine it having whatever qualities you want it to have. We’ll see how it goes closer to the release when people start having to judge it based on what it is instead of what they imagine.

I can’t share link, but they already revealed info on the game and a trailer. So you can judge on that.
Never heard of it but would give it a shot.
This game is a dying corpse and we need something fresh.

Sadly the Stormgayte will be a failure it looks stupid and has too many moba sh!t elements in it. It will also include many casual noob friendly elements. And I think it will include stupid hero units and be less macro focused, also it will be less micro focused. It will be the attempt to bring rts back into the public but we are in 2022 now. This means they can’t release a pure rts game, they have to resort to stupid moba mechanics to make it appeal to the public and this makes the game sh1t to me

What we know about it look cool for now. I trust those developpers.
SC2 is really different from SC1 or any RTS and way more appealing for general public, with F1, F2 mechanics, lot of helps, but also an “open world” way to do mission (we choose the order), many objectives and bonus ones, getting stuff to then upgrade our stuff/ army between missions, full 3D moment between mission to connect more with this world.
All those things were pretty good stuff. If they have other ideas like that, it’s good for new and old players. And it seem they want to make it more social and easier to control group everything and use ability of every units.
The same team that took this game downhill, then bailed to a competing company to avoid responsibility?
Won’t be playing or supporting.
They shoulda made it another hots title, horrors of the stormgate or something, for the memes
Me, I’m pretty happy about SC2. It’s my favorite PC game, I find it way better than SC1, so I have hope for what they can do.
When I looked for infos about it, I eventually found some screenshots, and for some reason, this made me think of Total Annihilation: Kingdoms.
Basically how the reuse of a successful title and experience gained on it can lead to a very bad result (though maybe the game isn’t that bad if you don’t know the original TA to compare it to?).
So I would say my 1st impression is bad.
But it’s not based on anything really solid, and it’s just a 1st impression, that I don’t even understand at 100% myself, so it’s not hopeless for now.
