Mod edit: I've added the information from carloselcoco's OP into this one, but I'm keeping this thread open because it has more discussion

If you have ever been awaiting for StarCraft to come to the iPhone, iTouch or iPad, then you have probably already learned about StarFront: Collision.
Developed by Gameloft, it is easy to agree that it is StarCraft for iOS systems.

Mobile game maker Gameloft has a reputation for making high quality games that look… familiar. But just because StarFront: Collission looks like a blatant ripoff of StarCraft doesn’t mean I’m any less excited about the fact that the game will be available later this week. Because let’s face it, wouldn’t you rather have a great-looking StarCraft clone for your phone than no StarCraft at all?

StarFront: Collision is due out for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on February 10th. The game follows the age-old story of three different races of warriors fighting over minerals on an alien planet. Races include humans, a robot race, and an alien race called the (Wiki)Zerg err… Myriad.

You can check out the latest game-play trailer after the break. It looks pretty much like StarCraft. But on your phone. Which is awesome.

Set to be released originally on Thursday, February 10th, 2011. Gameloft today updated their Starfront YouTube trailer of the game and has postponed the released until Friday, February 18th, 2011.

I am curious to see if you guys would get this game and what your thoughts on it are.
For me, it looks pretty amazing and since Blizzard has refused to bring games to iOS systems (any mobile system really), I am really looking forward to this release even though it is basically StarCraft stolen and adapted for iOS systems. Doesn't matter that Gameloft was cheap by not being original. They are still amazing at bringing copies of other games to iOS systems.
I can't wait until February 18th!

Has anyone seen this?? An iPhone SC2 clone from Gameloft. Can they actually do stuff like that?

What's your opinion?

I think that ActiBlizz will probably try to sue them, but personally I don't care. It's not like this will split the community in two, this game will not be anywhere near as good as SC2, especially on the iPhone.

More like...... GAYLOFT?! AMIRITE?!

Yeah... that doesn't even look remotely entertaining. "Conquer the beautiful 64bit planet or take your eyes off the crappy iphone and check out your beautiful surroundings."

of course they can do stuff like this, it may be a similar styled RTS visual wise but it probably plays nothing at all like SC2.
Fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs.

True....but what really annoys me is that it is not on android

Nah, actually I hate rip-offs like this. It shows the lack of creativity from the developers.

It is actually fairly amusing how exactly they're copying starcraft. Zergling swarm, protoss buildings warp in, etc.

Eh, they're hardly "stealing" anything blizz created. The last original thing Blizzard created were the three vikings...I'd say that both this game and SC are based on WH40k, which is in turn based on classic sci-fi themes and cliches. Pretty much the same holds for warcraft-warhammer-classic fantasy stuff.

Damn, looks pretty cool for a phone game.

Wait are we upset about something here?
