StarCraftWire.net reports on a possible slip-up from a Korea Gaming Conference keynote. Nova from StarCraft: Ghost might still be alive and kicking inside Blizzard HQ.
Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.
They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.
Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.
The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
Exciting if possible, I thought Ghost was gone for good, as a console shooter game it's a bit of a leap. Wasn't the new MMORPG they're working on supposidly a new franchise?
This is awesome. What if SC: Ghost is the new MMO?
No, new MMO is a new IP. Starcraft: Ghost would not fall under "new IP". Unfortunately. :(
Maybe Blizz have been sneeky and the "new franchise" was a red herring
I'd say they're just listing the games the guy has worked on in his resume. Just because SC ghost was canceled doesn't mean his art design/concept work on it was bad. it's fun to rumor-monger, though.
