STARCRAFT IS RETURNING
As an open-world shooter

On a scale of Over to Over, how Over is it for RTS?
>>
>>2488400
RTS exists outside of blizzard
>>
>It ends up being a Valorant clone.
The Golden Century of Real Time Strategy is upon us.
>>
>>2488400
What makes you think blizzard would make a good RTS game when their latest WC3 campaign is made by dogshit Hive modders and looks like absolute garbage.
>>
>>2488427
I don't care whether it's good, I just want large companies to continue making them
>>
In an alternate universe where SC was a bigger deal than WC, they have World of Starcraft, just imagine.
>>
>>2488545
I think it would've been mid, SciFi RPGs are difficult

RTS at Blizzard died the day WoW was released and got officially buried with no honors when the superstar team behind SC2 got the boot.
If you were expecting these fucks with no RTS development experience and no reason to even try to make a new RTS game, well that's a problem on your end.

They will only entertain the idea if SOMEONE ELSE does and succeeds with it first.
Same as those remakes of theirs. And Classic WoW. They could only unfuck Overwatch by copying a Chinese game, that's how Over it is for Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard.
>>
But bro, we got female marines in the new STARCRAFT game, I'd say the progressive gesture more than makes up for the fact that the game is set in a different genre!
>>
>>2488491
>I just want large companies to continue making them
well go play AOE 2 DE, AOE 3 DE and AOM DE then
>>
>>2488400
One look at that screencap and I can already tell it's going to be shit.
>>
>open-world shooter
...in what sense?
Anyway given how Blizzard seems to be giving up and going back to milk the classics some more I think there's a chance they'll sell a new campaign or two for SC1 and/or SC2 ($40, made by a contracted modder)
>>
If its like natural selection 1 it will be GOAT
>>
>>2489016
It's what Blizzard said the new Starcraft will be rather than RTS.
>>
>>2489040
yes, i got it. what i mean is that i don't know what that really means.
>>
>>2489016
>in what sense?
They don't know either, it's just buzzwords for the investors. Probably haven't even started working on the game yet.
>>
>>2488400
Can't believe they got Shemar Moore for this
>>
>>2489034
You now remember C&C: Renegade
>>
>>2488400
>>2489016
>>2489084
They'll halfass it by making Overwatch with Starcraft skins and bigger maps.
>Pick one of several classes from Terran infantry.
>Added vehicles to spice it up.
>Other players pick Zerg units like in AvP2's multiplayer; high mobility but limited attack options like the Xenomorphs.
>Protoss are DLC.
>You move in the world from arena to arena like in WoW.
It's gonna be shit and they would make more money by releasing another SCII expansion pack.
>>
>>2488400
Hold on if its an fps why are you posting on a strategy vidia board?
>>
>>2488407
ya but they suck
>>
>>2489257
rts franchise
>>
>>2488400
What, did they finally release StarCraft: Ghost or something?
>>2488545
The only good "World of" would have been Diablo.
>>
>>2489366
starcraft 2 isn't even good, and has nothing on starcraft 1
>>
>>2488545
sounds like planetside 2
>>
>>2488400
Blizzard doesn't make games anymore just store fronts for whales. I'd also note I like the idea of this game honestly they couldn't of made a starcraft 3 rts because how retard the ending of starcraft 2 was. I wonder why they turned the Queen of Blades into a higher being made of light.
>>
>>2489802
Contrarian levels going off the charts
>>
>>2488572
>long range sniper rifle with extra +range talents and stat stacking
>maximum achievable range: 93 yards
Yeah guns past the flintlock era just don't work with that type of gameplay.
>>
>>2489809
>having an opinion is contrarian
okay zoomer

I can't think of a single good example. I guess the Fallout franchise. Surely there's more than that?
>>
>2030 release
odds this get cancelled?
>>
>>2488400
>Clear propaganda messaging against US army
hope trump deports them
>>
I have no faith in the current trannies working at Blizzard to produce anything of quality in any genre or media

blizzdrones will refuse to play any of the 50 new starcraft and warcraft inspired rts games that come out every goddamn year and when those inevitably flop and Blizzard predictably pivots to actually profitable genres declare the RTS genre dead
>>
>>2489991
>2014
fuck
how long ago was this fucking games beta
>>
>>2488400
They already tried releasing a 3rd person shooter but they cancelled it.
>>
>>2489803
...shit, I'd play it
>>
>>2490846
yeah like TWENTY YEARS AGO UNC
>>
>>2490002
KOTOR
Rogue Trader
the first act of Encased
>>
>>2490406
This 100% this.
>>
>>2488400
I wouldn't say its over for RTS but I wouldn't expect the faggots at blizzard to make one any time unless its a remake of a videogame before that.
>>
>>2490445
>50 new clones
None have its pathing or it's anything
Sc2 is still the king
>>
I’m praying for an Xcom reversal.
>tease new Xcom
>it’s a gay FPS
>betrayal.exe
>Xcom: Enemy Unknown from Fraxis announced
>Game is awesome and reinvigorates dead franchise
>Xcom: the bureau (fps) releases after and maybe 5 people buy it.

Hoping same thing happens here, but I doubt it. Wouldn’t be surprised if this shit gets canceled.
>>
>>2492997
The Bureau was a third person squad tactics shooter, not an fps. It's also not nearly as bad as the people who didn't play it think it was. I'm not saying it was good, mostly because of the shitty levels (from the "chest-high walls everywhere" school of game design) and dogshit AI for both allies and enemies, but it had some pretty neat aspects as well, including one of my favorite third-act twists inn videogames.
