Doesn’t the red armor means he’s a Firebat? The rifle going dry would explain that, those Overlords looked menacing as hell too

The cinematic was fire, but I wasn’t getting “open world shooter” from it. Rather, I thought this was “Helldivers 2 with Starcraft window dressing,” which would be awesome I won’t lie.

StarCraft II is one of my favorite games ever, but I have no faith in modern Blizzard to make a game that isn’t wrapped in trappings that would piss me off. Back in 2010, it was extremely annoying that the game required an internet connection and made us go through all sorts of wacky solutions just to have a LAN party. Nowadays, an online-only game is a non-starter for me. The story in SC2 jumped the shark after the Wings of Liberty campaign anyway.

So it’s the sequel like Starcraft Ghost?

A game being announced for years in the future and all they have to show is a cinematic screams vaporware to me

It’s an open-world shooter. Christ on a stick. They’re hounding after that damned MMO shit like every other publisher is. Sony wants it, EA wants it, everyone wants it, and nobody can fucking make it work. Hell, even Bungie couldn’t pull it off with Marathon. Why do they keep letting the market dictate what kind of games they should make? Just make a good fucking game. Stop consulting some market specialist who tells you, “Well, gamers are really interested in live-service engagement loops right now.” No shit, Brad. Gamers are also interested in games that are actually fun. It’s like every publisher looks at the last five disasters and says, “Okay, but what if WE do it?” Like it hasn’t worked for literally any of them. Why would it suddenly work for a fucking megacorp like Blizzard? And it’s coming out in four fucking years. Four years! I don’t care what’s coming out in four years! I barely know what I’m doing next fucking Tuesday. You’re telling me I should get excited about a game that won’t exist until 2030? I’m sure they’ll announce Diablo 5 in 2069 and tell us it’s going to revolutionize the genre with an innovative blockchain-enabled social extraction MMO where you spend 45 minutes farming a dungeon just to unlock the ability to farm another dungeon. Just make a good goddamned game. That’s it. You don’t need to reinvent the fucking industry. You don’t need a market trend. You don’t need an engagement strategist. You don’t need a ten-year roadmap. Make a good game. Then make another one. Jesus Christ.

I was going to say Starcraft 2 wings of liberty, that came out in 2010. They then proceeded to release two expansions that fell short in both the story telling and game play.

If they were announcing Starcraft 3 (and it was going to be an RTS game) I can understand there being some excitement around it even four years in advance because there’s so few RTS games being made. But a Starcraft shooter? Meh.
