This is an important article, if only because Starcraft II is releasing next month.

Lolwut runs fine for me just run it in compatability mode

I can't wait for starcraft 2, but there's no point in playing sc1 over again imo.

dgroundwater5482d ago

I'm conservative and I still thought an Obama impersonator could do way better than this. Trolling an article for a fantastic RTS is just fail.

As I understand it compatibility mode has worked for all my friends. Is this even a problem?

dkblackhawk505482d ago

Have had no problems on 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7. Changed nothing at all...

Cheeseknight285482d ago

I'm gonna try my hardest to go through both sets of Campaigns before I get SC2. I need to recall every story detail.

chaos launcher solves all problems :P

Montrealien5482d ago (Edited 5482d ago )

I am a little confused, I downloaded my Starcraft on Windows 7 a few weeks back directly from my bnet account, and I have had zero problems.

is this a cracked version issue? because I can confirm it works just fine with the downloaded version directly from bnet on windows 7.

poopface15482d ago

I guess this if for the CD version from back in the day?

This article makes me want to find my brrod war cd and play some starcraft. Or some freaken diablo 2

dkblackhawk505482d ago

We all make mistakes :P and I think this was for the CD version becacause the downloaded one has no problems for me.

Was aware the iconic Starcaft IP was jumping to South Korea ....

jznrpg77d ago

Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.

Sonyslave377d ago (Edited 77d ago )

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.

goken77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Profchaos76d ago

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build

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.

Jingsing576d 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.
