This is madness

Ugh. I'm personally anti. They already ruined one great game by making it an MMO, please not another!!! Plus, Starcraft is epic in it's 2d-ness and I feel like units would just look too bulky and weird in 3 dimensions. Anyway, just wanted to make this known.

I would like to see a WoS, but I'm going to be really pissed if they put it on the Wii. I couldn't imagine WoW on the Wii, that would be just pure hell, so I doubt a WoS would be better. (On the wii, ofc.) On the PC though, that would be epic. Especially with no monthly costs.

I'm PRETTY sure he said that with profit and consumer purchase in mind. Of course making a new MMO that was made by the same people who did Warcraft AND putting it on the "every can play" wii would be a combination that would seem to be the way to go if all blizzard cared about was money. Maybe recently for blizzard money is a trend but they wouldn't make it blatant and whore anything onto anyone.

tl;dr: Non gamer makes a prediction about games.

I'm pretty sure it was like... a fact that it's not going to be World of Starcraft and instead a new mmo based on it's own story. Right?



None.

Why does everyone call it World of Starcraft. The game hardly takes place on one planet. I do get that the name is based offa World of Warcraft though...



None.

Thigh high affectionado

A world can also be a meaning of a place (Rather large). I wouldnt mind if they did WoS or UoS

This 'analyst' sounds like a clueless joke to me.

What a retard.

Blizzard would have had to begun making WoS about 4 years ago for a 2011 release.

WoS? God forbid. That'd ruin it. There's no way they can pull off making an RTS into a MMO-- ohwait



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
