It was previously reported that a couple of agencies informed StarCraftWire.net that the voice acting role of Jim Raynor and Kerrigan the Queen of Blades are now up for grabs. The original actors as well as the ones used for the WWI and BlizzCon gameplays are out, and they are looking for new ones.
Fans have rallied to show their support for the original actors, which seems to be well loved by the community.
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.
It's never very nice when they change actors. Like it films. You want the same actor playing the same character each time!
Raynard!
WTF it wont be starcraft with out them.
Gut feeling says no: don't try to fix something thats not broken. But who is to say the new blood (if there is going to be any for these 2 roles) isn't able to surpass the originals?
Ye its never good when original actors get changed and it just proves the fans weren't too happy about it.
