Let's face it.StarCraft has no future as long as StarCraft II's story and changes to the setting exist.The only way would be retconning SCII in a single, easy way to clean slate and do a course correction.Change my mind.You can't.
>>744694859what does Blizzard even do these days
>>744695027WoW and Overwatch...Diablo too.But forget about a WarCraft IV and StarCraft III.The former will never happen due to WoW and retconning it is utterly impossible now.At least StarCraft still has this chance. All MicroSoft would need to do is outsource the IP or, as the rumors say, force a divide of the story and lore team. Hopefully they also fire the people there and replace them with people who actually can write a story and do actual worldbuilding.But I'm asking for way too much. I just want my dark, gritty cond-war-feeling frontier setting with more down to earth sci-fi military. Not some sci-fantasy epic where the Queen Bitch gets away with everything.
>>744695027>>744695261Oh and almost forgot.Even if Blizzard would want a WarCraft IV and StarCraft III, it would still be impossible due to the fact that there is NOBODY left at Blizzard who can make a RTS.
>>744694859Story isn't the reason why any of those games failed. You can instantly go back to SCBW's status quo.>after a decade of peace, civil war erupts among the terrans, a new zerg queen emerges, and an extremist faction takes over the protoss that wants to kill everyone else and the shit hits the fan again
I don't think you'll find a single person alive that is not part of the actual company or paid shill that would ever defend the story in Starcraft 2.All the changes and additions were for the worse.
>>744696102Nope dude. That's not how it would've worked. Also it's not just story. It's the various retcons and changes to the setting, characters and lore elements that are part of the problem.You'd have to retcon SCII via the XCOM2 way. As in into a bad UED VR simulation in which Jim and Artanis were stuck for two years while being fed mind-scrubbing simulations while in reality 8 years have passed since Brood War when the UED came with a far larger force, with all their actual tech and were only stopped from steamrolling the whole Koprulu by Kerrigan who feels like the sector is her to conquer and that nobody is going to kill Mengsk but her.>>744696308I bet there are people out there who would also want SCII to be retconned.Metzen and co. should've seen the writings on the wall when people bashed HoTS.
>>744694859I don't remember the story in any detail anyways so they can just make up whatever and I'd accept it.
>>744697038I sadly wish I didn't remember and it was so bad for me I never forgot about it.
>>744694859StarCraft has no future because RTS is a dead genre that nobody under the age of 40 cares about
