have a look at those pics, u can also see loads of stuff on the game on blizzards website www.blizzard.com
now if those screens are from the ps2 and not the xbox then wow thats good
it looks like its gonna be quite a decent game if not better then that which is very good considering that this is blizzards first ever console game
anyway what do all you people think about it

Very sexy looking images. They've really utilsed the potential of the PS2 in those pics. Are they in-game footage?

I was a huge fan of Starcraft for the computer. I am very keen to see how well the RTS to FPS conversion turns out...

[Cody]

apparently its going to be a stealth based game

Wow it looks good. I'd just like to know a little about the story and things like that. If I get the chance and it comes out for the PS2 then I'll definitely give it a try. I never played Starcraft but I'm aware of its legendary RTS status so like Rebon I'm also interested to see how it ports to a FPS. I remember Westwood made Command and Conquer Renegades which was a FPS but as you are all aware C&C is also one of the most established RTS's out there.

Command and Conquer Renegade was a bit of a mix. You could have fun with it, but there were long boring tedious moments. It could have had a great multi player mode but it was spoilt by laggy servers. Not a game for a hardcore FPS fans but it was worth a look if you liked the C&C series. I predict the same will probably be true of this game - but it does look pretty good - so fingers crossed for a quality cross-over. 8)

Its actually an rpg/fps. Kinda like diablo...but in first person and in sci fi. It is only for the PS2.

You are a ghost, you go around on a mission doing things like assasinating and stuff. As you progress you will learn special techniques such as cloak, revert, and nukes for those special missions. :mrgreen:

I wish they would make starcraft 2 for the PC, (its not brood war as BW was an expansion so dont bother.).

Morpheus, If you likes WCIII Frozen throne, then youll like SC 1 and BW. I dunno about this though. Depends on your taste of FPS and RPG.

starcraft ghost is a tactical-action game, not a FPS, its actually third person i believe (though like most third person games it does go first person in certain situations)
and its coming out the PS2, xbox and gamecube
Dragonlance you will be happy to know that blizzard does want to and most likely will do a starcraft 2 sometime (and if you ask me there is a good chance they might start it after finishing WoW)
cool fact: starcraft to date has sold over 7 million copies making it one of the best selling PC games of all time

[Dragonlance]

starcraft 2 *dances a happy dance*.
Can you give me an example of a TPS? Ty.

[Cody]

lol i use to be a huge battle net player the reason it sold so many copys was because people would pay the 10$ to get more cd keys so they could log more bots and flood people and crap so it may be one of the top selling games but only a small percentage actualy play it

[Dragonlance]

SC has a lot of players lol. Just in different realms. Around a hundred in each. Then there is the people who dont play battle.net, instead other multiplayer...or just not play any multiplayer SC at all.

[Cody]

ya but alot of the obesive people buy extra copies of sc just for there cd-keys so they can load bots and flood channels they also use proxies but anyways ill get back on topic

i just read that you will be able to pilot vehicles such as a siege tank and goliath and im hoping you might be able to commandeer some protoss vehicles and it will be a stealth/action game

[Evolution]

Uh, Uhm, double post.

looks alright but theres alot of other games that I have on my shopping list now.

[Blake]

I edited it for him.

i got this from the august edition of psm

"in startcraft proper, terra's Ghost unit is a sci-fi sam fisher capable of unleashing nuclear fury onto the hapless hordes of the insectiod zerg and th spiritualy clean protoss.
thankfully unabted development continues on the third person starcraft ghost any qualms associated with the initial showings have been quelled, since we,ve played through a little bit of the game that's nothing short of quality focusing on ghost femme fatale nova, sc:ghost forces players to cautiously navigate through perplexing starcraftmainstays, including the creep controlled worlds of the brood, the forested homelands of the galaxys noble protoss, and theburning war machine of humanitys wayward remnants.
Nova utilizes a dual analog schema to dispatch foes with savvy weaponry and operable vehicles, like siege tanks and goliaths

The sell is this combination of inuitive action and splinter cell-like game play set against a starcraft backdrop. from what we've played we're ready to go spectral. this review was written by ivan sulic

as i said before i hope you can commandeer protoss vehicles and maybe even fly some air units but i guess we will have to wait and see.
