StarCraft shooter in development

Bwahaha , StarCraft ghost part 2

Seriously if they just gave a proper pve version of OW in OW2 instead of updating the cash shop , they would ahve made bank .

This hero shooter killed other hero shooters games while it was popular now look at it , what a waste

Reserves zergling name “Kerrysbebe”

So trying to get into the Helldivers / Space Marine 2 area and by time they make it everything is going to have moved on?

Sounds like Blizzard.

A shooter based around Terran should have been done years ago. They pretty much closed the story though, just go play Space Marine 2.

I’ve always thought it would be so fun for a Diablo or a Starcraft game like wow. ^,^ Especially SC because of the spacey thing and so many different classes n stuff. :slight_smile: Couple different races. lol :slight_smile:

I probably can but don’t care enough to try and post the office meme of Steve yelling “NO” a bunch…but that’s my initial take.

No to shooters. Yes to RTS.

Honestly that’d be fine as a game mode in a shooter. I think making that the entire game gets old fast though.

As much as I’d definitely at least check this out, I think people need to give up on MMORPGs.

The genre is dead. Nothing relevant has launched since 2014. The ones still being developed are indie titles in dev hell with way more hype from content-starved MMO players than they can ever possibly deliver on. If anything was gonna change that, it would’ve been a big release from a big company like Amazon, but New World flopped hard (in terms of player retention, not initial sales – because, again, MMO players are starved and buy anything).

Blizzard isn’t going to take that risk in this market. Maaaybe they could have gotten away with an FPS MMO back in 2013 or so. Not anymore. They’ve also put it on record that they “Don’t want to be the MMORPG company”. So I wouldn’t expect them to even want to make one beyond maintaining WoW.

Unless I am mistaken, wasn’t ghost supposed to be a shooter before it was canned?

Would rather see a StarCraft mmo

Came into the thread for this.

It would exactly be Helldivers with a SC skin on it. And no one will buy that because wtf is Starcraft? That game my grandpa played? Look, they’re even ripping off the Terminids, and just put weird mouthless aliens in place of the mechs. And without the tongue-in-cheek humorous charm that made HD2 a hit.

The franchise has been dead for nearly a decade, trying to prop up its corpse to dance for dollars would be such an obvious and embarrassing cash grab.

They should name this one Star Craft Ghost 2. lol.

Or… IDK maybe I’m too cynical.

A Starcraft shooter would be INCREDIBLE if they made it something like the Natural Selection mod for Half-Life. Hybrid shooter/RTS/MOBA kinda thing where more advanced units are unlocked over the course of a match, with totally different strengths and mobility.

I miss running around ceilings and vents ambushing opponents until they’re scared to venture out alone. :<

A Blizz dev said he knows what is going to happen next with SC but declined to comment further when questioned and also hinted it may not be RTS. If it is not RTS then I may not play.

Info on Nova’s location in WoW, for those unaware.

Idk. RTS and MMO are 2 dead genres IMO.
I get why they’d want to try something else with the IP after SCII.

The Starcraft story effectively concluded anyway. If they’re going to push forward some unrelated story, might as well be in a different genre.

And it’s Starcraft, so if it’s not some mobile garbage (always possible these days, mobile market is HUGE so companies all want to get a hit in that field, and Blizzard has failed to do so so far), it’s probably going to be at least SOME kind of Shooter.

Bummer. Was hoping for World of Starcraft. Not even joking. It should be a thing.

Starcraft Ghost lives!!

There is so much they could do with SC’s and WOW’s IP’s but Kotick was a greedy goblin and only bet on the easy money.

Creating a competing MMO was never going to happen.

No anime either, just a movie that came too late, was badly managed and failed as a result.

South Park did more for WoW than the movie.

im having deja vu

bet it’s gonna be abandoned before it’s completed and they will recycle the assets for something else.

not a bad idea to move away from RTS though… today’s gamers probably wouldnt like sustaining 300+ apm for 20-30 minutes :wink:
