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

    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.

      Same. Smells like a (fairly generic) co-op shooter to me. It might end up being good, but with the state of blizzard and microsoft these days I’m not really excited for this.

      I’d love a Helldivers type game where I don’t have to worry about it frying my computer. A CTD or something I can stomach, but a full system freeze? In this economy?

    Bold of them to assume that there will still be electricity, world wide web and freedom to play video games in 2030

    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.

        I have no faith that current Blizzard would be able to beat StarCraft 2 anyways, they would just hurt the scene by dividing the playerbase more and SC3 would likely fizzle out sooner

          Ain’t it a shame. Makes ya wonder if the folks who make these games actually even play em.

          Hell, that should be a law for gaming. You have to play your game at least 3 to 4 times a month atleast to see the bullshit and fix it.

    Blizzard can go fuck them self. I’m a big Starcraft fan. And i’m not going to buy anything from them. And i suggest everyone else does the same.

      i found it odd they suddenly stopped it early in the pandemic, guess they got lazy and worked on diablo instead.

        For me, the 2030 release date (+eventual delays) lines up with Microsoft’s recent push/wish for more games in their big franchises a couple of months ago, so this is probably still in some kind of pre-production.
