StarCraftWire.net has gotten their hands on eight new screenshots from StarCraft 2, showing off some of the impressive single player missions of what appears to be both Terran and Protoss campaigns, or test missions. They involve "regular" combat between the three races as well as "mass defence" against incoming Zerg swarms. One of the picture is very similar to a previously released one, but most of them are completely new. This whole single player experience that we will see with StarCraft 2 looks amazing.
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.
Oooh, I do like the single player ones!
Really looking forward to the single player campaign. Visuals look impressive too.
Oooh, I want to see more. Eight isn't enough.
The visuals really are good, what an improvement from SC1.
