StarCraft returns in 2030 as an open-world shooter

Well, I suppose it's something that a Verge article held back from spoiling the trailer until just before where they embedded it in the article. Usually they put it right in the headline. I wish people would stop supporting this trash site and let it die.

this will only be cool if the open shooter is a submeta game of some random south koreas going for gold at the olympics.

Even a half hearted RTS would be better recived, how can they not know that?

I have absolutely no faith in Microsoft to make anything decent with its legacy IPs. Ohh well

And a Diablo 5 in 2029? https://youtu.be/GxCN_AKYtts?is=AgY1pqrkutISphr1

you can milk anything with nipples. Companies still announcing big AAA games as if their customers will have the hardware necessary to run such games in 2030. And people say I'm the one huffing copium.

The trailer looks really good! Accurate.

I was wondering what do they exactly mean by "open-world shooter", and checked that Dan Hay guy: > Executive Producer on Far Cry 5 So it's safe to assume that's what they are aiming for.

is this “Helldivers 2”, but StarCraft?

They just abandon the entire RTS fan base. This feels just like the diablo immortal announcement disaster where they announce a product that is completely outside the target audience. I hope it's good, but it's really disappointing to not just have starcraft 3. Instead we get diablo 5? I wish I could feel positive about any of the blizzcon announcements, but it all feels like an out of touch joke.

we are definitely getting AGI before a new starcraft

Blizzard is getting a lot of vitriol and I don’t think it’s unwarranted. Yes, some of it might be melodramatic but I remember when Warcraft 3 was coming out. Or even Lord of the Clans. People were mega hyped. This is a huge turn of the tide. Very little of the core fan base, if they even still have that, is interested. Both Diablo 5 and StarCraft 3 getting panned. Very strange of Blizzard to do this, especially as a fuck-you to people who bought Diablo 4 and now there’s no Diablo in it, unless they release a surprise expansion pack which would just be weird. As for the trailer, it looks like a grimdark Warhammer 40K thing. I don’t know why they are releasing trailers so early. I’m guessing they’ll spend the next 3-4 years in constant marketing mode to drum up sales? I don’t even get this company anymore. Who the fuck is in charge around here? And where’s our air support?
