Zerg Queen Preview - StarCraft IncGamers

The Zerg Queen can be described as a WarCraft III Hero, of a sort, as it is just one of a kind, and every Zerg player must have one. Or is it really? StarCraft: IncGamers has the inside scoop on The Queen of your Hive Cluster.

"There has been a fear for adding 'hero' units in StarCraft II from the community, and seeing this new Queen unit chopping away Marines with abandon is slightly unnerving for anyone of us. The fact that she 'upgrades' and gets better with time will ring another alarm bell, but this isn't really the truth. Yes, a fully upgraded Queen is rather powerful, but if you kill her, your opponents needs to spawn a new one and evolve her in two steps to have her back."

I'd like to try out what they've done with her. Though, I would like my parasite and spawn broodlings back :( They were always fun to use if you had 12 queens who could parasite all the enemy observers or all enemy overlords, or broodling every single tank in the enemy base in the span of 5 seconds. Ah, fun times :)

Leord5883d ago

Still, over all, the old queen was a bit under-used. The "broodling" ability is now given to the Swarm Guardian, only that it doesn't kill off the unit, but every shot spawns two very weak broodlings.

It Seems Pretty Clear Why StarCraft 3 is Not a Thing Yet

Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.

They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.

Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.

Jingsing159d ago

The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.

$15 horse for WoW made more money than StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty

I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.

Plague-Doctor27161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

Im surprised too. Starcraft was still a huge name in 2010. It was kinda the only new RTS around and other genres like MOBAs hadn't really kicked off yet. I do remember at the time sentiment around the game was
pretty angry the game was being split into 3 but I doubt that would have impacted sales to that degree

Sciurus_vulgaris161d ago

For a long time I believed StarCraft II sold on par or better than its predecessor. There was so much hype for the game. Plus it had a pretty strong E-Sports scene for a few years.

Myself and half a dozen friends all bought StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and played it religiously for a full year. While I bought the expansions, most of my friends did not. RPGs seem to be a generally low selling genre.

Nerdmaster161d ago

I'm not shocked at all. This was an early example of Blizzard being greedy. Instead of releasing a complete experience, splitting Starcraft 2 in 3 parts so it could make us purchase it 3 times if we wanted to know the whole story and play story mode with the other races.

Sciurus_vulgaris160d ago

I originally had that stance. However, Wings of Liberty, was just as long, if not longer than StarCraft 1. The expansions were of decent length too and added a good amount of additional content.

il-JumperMT161d ago

and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.

Nerdmaster161d ago

It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.

Extermin8or3_160d ago

This right here is the fucking problem.
