>Starcraft shooters gets announced>lead developer is the same guy responsible for Far Cry 6 and Back 4 BloodFUCK
YEA?
>>747579032White. Reporting for duty!
>>747579032You cannot be fucking serious. It's going to be DOA isn't it
>>747580183It's going to get cancelled in 2028, relax.
>>747579032This is Jimmy!
>it's a shooter gameWHAT THE FUCK?expected because it's blizzard lmao
>>747580580It's going to be a "story-driven open-world FPS".
I love Starcraft: Brood WarI LOVE STARCRAFT: BROOD WAR
>>747579032i hope i can make my marine magenta in the shooter game :)
>>747580768>>747579032How hard can it be to screw up a game about shooting alien bugs? Everyone likes shooting bugs.
>>747581374They have a good foundation on paper (loads of zerg types and terran weapons) but the open-world part unnerves me.
>>747581931I could see it working if it's some kind of huge dynamic battlefield with various areas being pushed/defended all the time like a planetside map. But it wouldn't make sense for the player to have any agency over where they go if they're just some marine. Maybe when you die you could click on the map and just swap to a brand new guy that's already on the battlefield fighting. Or we get some retarded hero shit with 30 second ability cooldowns and regenerating health
>>747582206Yeah, you would need some kind of NPC army around. One lone marine taking on an ultralisk would be silly.
>>747579032>Starcraft shooters gets announced>2030By the time we get there it'll have been cancelled and then announced for an even later date again, just like what happened with Ghost and the other one.
>>747579032This is their third attempt at making a Starcraft shooter, the others got canceled.
>>747579032>same guy responsible for Far Cry 6 and Back 4 BloodHow does he keep getting work? Vidya is like Hollywood: you can have a career while constantly failing.
>>747579032For me it's>Red > Blue > White > Purple > Yellow > Teal > Orange
>>747585516>white > everything elseUED pride galaxywide.
>>747585735First in. First out.
They fucked up by not adding the iconic SC2 Terran theme in the trailer while the Marines are inside the barracks.
Are we even going to live till 2030?
I hope they add pilotable flying vehicles. Having a playable valkyrie would automatically improve the game by at least 5%.
>>747587019It's going to be Helldivers/Space Marine but Starcraft, none of these games have driveable vehicles.Best they will do is add a Firebat/Marauder, Ghost and Medic class along with the standard Marine. Best case scenario they also add the Reaper but jump pack tech is hard.
>>747589658That would suck. Even UT3 had a siege tank-esque vehicle.
>2030This is not even a game, it's a presentation for shareholders
>caring about a rooty tooty shooty in 2026
>>747590370I just want another (non-shit) SC game :(.

>>747579032Green and black are the best colors. However red Terrans seem to get a power boost when playing against a comp.
when i was a kid i would get irrationally triggered if i got teal on bnet because it was the "hero" color and playing normally as that color felt fucked
>>747589658>It's going to be Helldivers/Space Marine but Starcraft, none of these games have driveable vehicles.>Source: My AssDon't state your opinion and try and assert it as fact. You know what you're doing and you won't fool me. We have no information whatsoever beyond the fact that it's a shooter. It being "open world" is an unconfirmed rumor.Now here's some actual evidence to suggest what we may be seeing a version of: https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Ares_(game)>shooter prototype blizz was developing until 2019>described as a "battlefield style" experience>could play as zerg, terran>In April 2022, it was confirmed that Blizzard was working on an untitled FPS game, with development going back until at least 2019.[8] According to Nick Shpeshal of Xboxera, this game is a continuation of Ares.[9] However, it is unclear if the game is set in the StarCraft universe or notThe last part is key. We had a game journalist in 2022 saying Blizzard was making a shooter that was a continuation of Ares, and we now know its the StarCraft IP.
>>747579032>pride colourswtf starcraft was woke?
If there is no way to play as Protoss I am not that interested. I want to play as a fucking Zealot and just style on lesser races.
There was this alien vs predator shooter ages ago where you could play a tiny ass baby alien and climb along walls and ceilings and bite people's heads off, something like that where you can be random units from all 3 factions and just copying star wars battlefront formula would be sick but we're never getting that.
>>747579032What even is an open world shooter? Stalker?
>>747579032Purple is The Thing. Kill it now.
>>747579032>Far Cry 6 and Back 4 Blood
>>747585516They are that big and are still cannon folder? how the fuck does a zergling look like.
>>747593914
>>747579032Back 4 Blood was sabotaged by autistic L4D retards.All those assholes shit on the game because it wasn't exactly the same as L4D. You could have put the absolutely best game on the table and they would have still complained because it wasn't L4D.The main problem with B4B was the enemies weren't easily readable at a glance. They didn't have the best callouts and ways to know what had spawned. Thats it. Its otherwise great. The card system was really fun. Builds are fun.
>>747589658Helldivers has vehicles
You just know they analyzed space marine 2, its success, and most importantly, its shop, and wanted to do something similar. I expect koprulu sector but with california talk. It will suck dick. Starcraft Marines are completely uninteresting and zerg is just worse tyranid. The story is butchered beyond repair. Sad state of affairs
>>747594089How the FUCK do you confuse that for a dog
>>747594325Running over animals can fuck them up, and it was dark
>>747593243Sorry.Can't play as anything not human.Focus testers don't identify with anything without facial expressions.
>>747594413and the humans in question were 78 IQ 1990s American southern rednecks in space.
>>747594089Thats a nuzergling. In the og cutscenes they seemed smaller.
>>747585516teal is massively underrated
>>747579032I'm old enough that I was posting the same thing when they hired the fatfuck behind Command & Conquer to make Starcraft II
>>747594701They still look pretty big in the BW intro scene, but the perspective isn't perfect for comparison.
>>747595054>dude, neutral buildings, LMAOI still remember watching those pre-beta "battle reports" by Browder and Kim
>>747593612I’ll laugh when it ends up being a Far Cry clone>collect 3 green space flowers to craft a stim pack!
>>747596335>collect 7 mutalisk skins to upgrade your ammo bag
>>747585516Purple for maximum emotional damage
>>747592934There is already an interview with the game's director that confirms it's a open-world third person shooter, with a "zero to hero" story with a clear story.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ONFf0YUvk
>>747597186>We want you to get a suit of armor and realize it’s yours. You got to take care of it. You got to build it up. Maybe >>747596773 isn't far off the mark.
>>747597186Watching now.>Deadwood in spaceOh so it'll be a Red Dead Redemption in space kinda feel. Dominion backwater ala Mar Sara from sc1?
>>747579703dats rayciss
>>747585516I've always been partial to green ever since BW came out. The rest are pretty much even, except brown. Fuck brown
>Starcraft shooter>Everyone was hoping for Helldivers or Planetside>Or just finally releasing Ghost>It's Far Cry
>>747598067It's either Helldivers or Battlefield
>>747589658No one will care about helldivers in 4 years.Itll be more similar to rust and wardogs
>>747579703OJ here
>>747598094Are you paid to be retarded?
>>747598292You're right, it's probably Unreal Tournament
>>747581374>>747581931y-yeah how hard can it be. us heckin RTS bros want to play halo too
>>747579032Red Leader, standing by.
I want to try Starcraft 2, I like RTS gamesHow do I learn?
>>747598379Wasn't that supposed to be a Splinter Cell-like stealth game?
>>747598621Learn what exactly? The basics or specific build orders?
>>747589940>Even UT3 had a siege tank-esque vehicle.2004 too. And you are probably talking about the Leviathan.That thing is deadly even without deploying. But once deployed it's game over for the enemy.
>>747598779Economy and stuff, yeah. Also build order for armies, Terrans look cool; do I just marine spam?
>>747598621Liquipedia. Download the game and play it first, watch replays, play the game.>>747598661Yes. With arguably a cooler premise than what they're offering.
>>747598873Here's a good website for build orders, but a lot of them are highly specialized. I'd stick to simpler ones at first: https://lotv.spawningtool.com/build/There used to be a lot of good starting guides on tl.net, but nobody writes those anymore and most of them are a bit oudated. But there are quite a few solid youtube videos on the basics.
>>747598873>EconomyIn SC2 its basic as fuck.You build the race specific harvester units, it tells you directly how many you need for maximum efficiency. The green gas nodes get 3 harvesters each.The rest is entirely just figuring out how much economy you can squeeze out while still building a bigger and better army than the other guy. Which is either trial and error or metagaming like this guy >>747599232The fact SC boiled down to gay ass build order autism is why I never bothered much with the competitive side. The coop and arena stuff, as well as challenge runs and mods in the campaign are far more fun to me.
>>747601554You don't really have to bother with very strict build orders until you're in the masters league. Just have a general game plane of what you want to do. Starcraft 2 is very accessible thanks to the UX and UI. Your opponent (when he's of equal skill) is going to grapple with the same difficulties you are. If more people knew that most SC II matches were more like two drunk toddlers fencing with pool noodles, I think the intimidation factor would be significantly lower.Only the top 5% of the player have to bother with hyper-optimized build orders.
>>747593243Protoss is a shitty boring race and they were the most shitty and boring in that game.
>>747601963>You don't really have to bother with very strict build orders until you're in the masters league.This is the single dumbest fucking take ever. You don't play starcraft. You don't just "feel it out" until you're top 15% of the whole game. The reason things are called standard is because WHEN YOU DONT DO IT YOU FUCKING LOSE YOU NIGGER FAGGOT RETARD.
>>747603106No, good macro and a basic understanding of the core strategies and how to react to them can can take you to diamond.
>>747603336Now you're literally renaming standard build orders as core strategy. We don't have to split hairs, people far below master are abiding by strict build orders. In 2012ish, if you did pure macro (which at the time was a theoretical schizotheory), yeah you're right you would come out on top just by the sheer volume of shit you could crank out.But if you're saying that's how people for the last decade have played? You're fucking high or stupid or don't know what you're talking about. You need to know what the fuck a forge is if you're playing zerg. You need to know what the terrain is putting on his barracks.
>>747579032Marines are so cool
The only time you get to "feel it out" is if you are serral or clem or you gamble often in real life. Any other advice is fucking stupid. It takes less time to learn a build order than to make a bookshelf in Minecraft. Go fucking learn one because the hardest thing to actually anticipate is your opponent, not your sim city
>>747592457I liked how the guy that made these got so bootyblasted he fucked off to blue sky and was never heard from again
>>747579032>DBZ All Sagas>Special Forces>Sunken D>Raccoon City>Tarpit Defense>Diplomacy>Heaven's Last Stand>EVOLVES>Random Bunker D>Cat and Mouse>Helm's Deep>Poker D>The Thing>Aeon of Strife>Protect the President
>>747579032Damn, it's already over. That guy is a hack.Blizzard cannot stop fucking up.
Guys. Let's hope post for a minute. Please. I know. Let's delude ourselves with nostalgia tinted glasses and dreams. Imagine cloaking as a ghost and dropping a nuke on a bunch of zealots and hearing their death rattle in one enormous cacophony.
>>747579032>Back 4 Blood>~800 current players>even beating ~1000 dailyHonestly more than I expected, probably losers who knew nothing but L4D2 their entire lives and were extremely desperate for a new experience
I can't wait to skin 10 ultralisks.
>>747604743We could have done that in starcraft ghost. But that was cancelled. I'm in my 30s. I hope some gook firebombs Blizzard over this.
>>747605415Have you played the leaked build? It wasn't very good.
>It's not 3 faction Natural Selectionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz_Euw3rRCk
>>747605756>best MP mod for HL>never got an entry on steam>head developer started pushing his retarded ideas onto the community with the last patches>now completely forgottenIt's not fair.
>>747605550Nigger that game would have come out 2003. Half of the users here werent even born. I was playing wc3/wow back then and I'm still not sure it would have been "bad" as a game. It just would have had a ton of competition, which paradoxically it has 10000x the competition now. So I'm confused why the suits at bliz want to do this. It's fucking stupid
>laed brawen gai>le not aryan male getting daeded in first faiv minuts>bai gaem pls
>>747579032always look like fly heads to me as a kid
>remembering when you used to call orange "OJ" on Battlenet custom gamesTake me back, bros
>>747605908The more unique and interesting an idea is, the more likely it's made by some mentally ill either fat retard or fat tranny, sometimes both, who ruins everything at some point down the line OR sells out to a company and they ruin it. You never just get a passionate normal guy making unique things.
>>747606114Huh, I can see it. Man, children have the most interesting perspectives sometimes
>>747606192>There will never be 128 man Karkhand unlimited tickets>and you vill like it
>>747597186>didn't ask the guy about vehiclesBleh.
>>747605415>>747605965They should just release Starcraft Ghost instead of whatever the hell this new thing is supposed to be.Though to be honest, given how shitty nuBlizzard is, I don't even know if I want to see them finally release it, only for it to be some awful shit.
>>747597186>third personWhat the fuck, why?
>>747605415Fuck you faggot, I still have my copy reserved at GameStop (power to the players), stop crying over spilt milk and move on you crusty asshole.
>>747603106The lady protests too much. I've been Gold 3 for like ten years only using ling rushes and run bys.
>>747579032I wonder if it will actually ever release, wouldn't be the first time something gets announced and then quietly killed a few years later because they didn't know what the fuck they were doing
We all know it's going to have some kind of multiplayer pvp, most likely pushing it for esports too, what type are they doing?
>>747587019>>747589658My vulture bike is non negotiable
>>747593243All races will be playable, I bet you annoying motherfuckers will be DTs
>>747609081wtf is that true, they just keep all preorders open? Can you really ascend and use them as a First National Gamer Bank?
>>747605415Nexon's trying to get a license from Blizzard to make Starcraft 3. Maybe they'll let them, even if it's bad it probably can't beat super saiyan Kerrigan saves the universe. The 2030 release date for this game also reminds me of Barkley 2's promise trailer, all together hard to have strong feelings about anything SC related Blizzard could possibly put out.
