Starcraft: Ghost 5th Anniversary - Rebirth on PC or Next-Gen Consoles?

Starcraft: Ghost recently reached its 5th Anniversary since its official announcement at the Tokyo Game Show 2002. It was indefinitely postponed on 2005 due to the arrival of PS3 and Xbox 360, making the game not viable. With resources of personnel focused on World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2, Starcraft: Ghost was left behind in the backburner. However, recent interviews with Rob Pardo and Mike Morhaime seem to indicate the rebirth of Starcraft: Ghost is imminent. A matter of when. Blizzard President commented there are no plans to return to console production.

2 - It is Blizzard

We won't hear anything else about it until 2010. Then it will ship in 2015.

Well I for one think it would be cool to see Starcraft: Ghost come out some day on the consoles and PC. But if Blizzard ever does decide to make this game again it will not be seen for some time. Because as of right now Starcraft 2 is in the works and Project Hydra. Plus if I am not mistaken there might be one more.

4 - Keep it fr the PC

Console RTSs are good, but Starcraft is just one game I can't imagine controlling with an analog stick and 2-3 buttons.

It wasn't an RTS, it was a 3rd person action adventure game with some macro RTS-esque elements.

5 - you know

at one point, i actually thought about reserving this game... haha

Kuest, guess you weren't affluent with the gaming community back in '02.. haha it really was that long ago. it was supposed to be a syphlon filter-esque experience set in the starcraft universe. it was appealing to many people, including myself, because you got to fight against the zerg and 'toss

Starcraft: Ghost was meant to be like Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell where you would stealth your way through Terran, Protoss and Zerg bases undetected. You would snipe from the shadows.

You had to get rid of corpses throwing them through ventilation vents or into closets, or down a cliff or such. If other NPCs saw any corpses they would sound the alarm.

Enemy could detect you with special sensors you had to avoid. you could use infrared UI to see through walls. You could arm a mechanical spider mine. Your point of view shifted to the mine itself and you could make the mine walk toward your enemies. Other mine was a burrowing one that would explode any time a mob walked near it.

You could aboard a goliath, and other vehicles such as the vulture. It looked like a fun game.

You know, I actually purchased a $250 24 inch TV and a Game Cube just to play Starcraft: Ghost, barely 2 weeks before the release date expected on March or April 2005. I was pissed.
