There are more and more gameplay videos of StarCraft 2 circulating on the web as we are closing in on Blizzard's WWI 2008 in Paris. Perhaps people who recorded bootleg gameplay at the press conferences, CG Lepizig or BlizzCon 2007 have gotten more brave as time has passed since the events. Either way, here is more StarCraft 2 gameplay.
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.
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.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
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.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
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.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
The game does look seriously cool.
Gotta love when people sneak in cams. :)
I was wondering: Why has there been such a delay in posting many of these videos? It's not like it was a week ago they were taken?
Are people really that afraid of Blizzard? What could they possibly do to the videomakers?
Edit:
Yeah, I agree with you, M.
Every time I see this game I wonder what else they are planning to do to it before they feel it to be good enough for even a closed alpha. The game is looking so amazing already and the end of the development process is still clouded in dust.
Serious question. When in the flying F*ck does this game come out? It's already been a year since that countdown announcement from their website.
