Since 2001 the world famous MYM teams have been around within all kind of games, but especially the Warcraft 3 and Starcraft:Broodwar sections have harvested most of the attention. They have been feared, loved, hated and have had many followers and fans, in both good and bad times. Today the era ends for these teams in MYM and boots are left on the Warcraft and Starcraft battlefield that will be hard to fill.
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.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
RTS; it's a beloved genre...but it's in dire need of originality or it risks being consigned to a small pool of fans.
In my opinion, they have evolved and become more complicated. Way back in the day with command and conquer games, they were easier to pick up and play. I’ll actually go further back to a $70 Super Nintendo game called “Metal Marines”. Not sure if I’m off the mark, but these cellphone, real time strategy games become overwhelming quickly to me. There’s too much going on at once and it turns me off. Not sure if there are any on consoles to be honest. If there is a RTS that is on PS4, I’m open to the recommendation
Metal marines... what a game, and Herzog Zwei too.
Ensemble Studios and Westwood closing spelt absolute disaster for RTS games, with exception of blizzard, no one made any real good ones. Microsoft and EA ruined two top franchises before closing the studio. such a shame
Over complicated. Dawn of War 1 was almost the perfect rts, its all been downhill since.
I'll say a prayer for 'em..
JUST a few minutes ago I finished a good Broodwars match. Must be making room for Sc2 teams? lol. Hopefully. SC is probably the best RTS I'VE ever played--- I find it hard to understand why they'd axe them so far from sc2's launch though.
i was reading this the other day on their web
Moon and Grubby in 2s action was amazing to watch. Is this the beginning of the end for the W3 scene? Oh well, it was an awesome ride.
