Jason Clement discusses how the first StarCraft could benefit from a remake and the elements that it could borrow from its sequel to improve on the experience.
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.
I thought they already did that and called it Starcraft II?
seem nearly identical, but i have played sc1 for ages.
There's also a Starcraft 1 mod for the Starcraft 2 engine. You can literally play the entire campaign with new graphics and all that jazz.
I wish they'd put Starcraft: Ghost back on the drawing board. That game seemed to have a lot of potential.
Current Blizzard should not touch Old Blizzard's work, especially David Kim. Their main guy is heavily inclined to Terrans. Now he's been playing Random since a lot of people complained about his biase.
Starcraft 1's graphics have held up pretty well, the game is fine no need for a remake
