Kinda Curious on Communities thoughts that Blizzard was working on another shooter based on Starcraft Universe?

An FPS from a zerg's perspective sounds interesting. But at the same time I don't think there will be anybody too upset that a Starcraft FPS got cancelled. And it never ceases to amuse me that sites like Kotaku still use the pictures from WoL alpha that they got permission to use from Blizzard way back when.

Just want to say that this project was being headed up by Dustin Browder, and between this and Heroes of the Storm and arguably the foundational design vision of SC2 (further discussion about that is happening in the Starcraft II - A Lifecycle thread), seems to be a tough streak for DBro

One thing I don't think people are talking about, which is kinda important, is that I think this is Team 1. Which means that they havent been working on a new RTS game after Nova Covert Ops was finished.

As much of a fan of RTS I am, I love the idea of a Starcraft asymmetrical battlefield type of game. I hope they can explore that option once they ship D4/OW2.

Eh, more Starcraft story content is always cool. Especially since its been like 3 years since the last campaign in Starcraft 2. But if they are going to make more Starcraft content, I'd actually kind of prefer if Starcraft remain in the RTS or Strategy genre still.

half of them are running multiplayers the rest has been doing this project for 2 years i assume ? but sc2 multiplayers aint so hot lately and i think they only need 20 or 30 employees for balance team and the rest will move to another rts project

Doesn't surprise me that they scrap another FPS after Overwatch didn't get the reception and longevity they expected.

Wake me when they work on a new RTS.

Overwatch 2? Hm, I find Overwatch to be the perfect multiplayer shooter for me, hope they don't ruin it with 2.

Hmm I disagree Blizzard missed opportunities with overwatch like they did with starcraft 2, they hardly ever admit a mistake give a noncomital answer, remember the days when players asked blizzard to disclose mmr, and how long it for them to finally show it?

I am not too bothered with it. Honestly I am afraid of whatever blizzard will come up next in its current form.

"Battlefield in the StarCraft universe" sounds cool, but I'd rather have a different shooter or a different SC game, a third-person SC game I'd be more into. "Gears of War" or "Evolve" or "Dead Space" or "Lost Planet" or "Splinter Cell" or... "[whatever] in the StarCraft universe" sound much more fun to me (even as a pretty big Battlefield 2, 2142, and 3 fan). However, if it was actually "looking pretty good" after 2+ years of development time on Terran and Zerg gameplay, it does hurt to hear about that going to waste, and hurts more after seeing that Browder was part of it. That kinda sucks.

Diablo 4? I'm craving more Diablo, badly. Overwatch 2? ... Why? I guess I'll just hope that whatever cool ideas the team had for Ares will go into OW2 or a new IP. Or, who knows, maybe more SC2, SC3, or War4.

*I'm also... hesitant about War3: Reforged. I haven't gotten to check out anything new with it in a while, but I hope that it turns out awesome in general and sales-wise otherwise there probably won't be any good RTS news from Blizz in a long time. (Has there been anything new with that since the Culling of Stratholme demo? New model/texture/graphics or gameplay stuff?)

Starcraft: Nova Die Twice

Anyway, the good news is that we have Diablo 4 (not the mobile one) and Overwatch 2 at least.

I'm a long time CS and Battlefield player so I would have loved to see a Battlefield in the Starcraft universe and I'm sad to see it scrapped. On the other hand like people have mentioned, this was lead by Dustin Browder who contributed to kill WoL with his casual friendly vision of the game. He then went on to work on Heroes of the Storm, based on Starcraft 2's game engine. I thought the game was a pretty refreshing take on the MOBA's genre, but there is an argument to be made that the game failed because it was once again aimed at casuals and it couldn't compete with the more unforgiving LoL and dota 2.

I don't understand Blizzard's vision for the future. Their 2 most succesful franchises are Warcraft and Starcraft. 2 RTS in different universe with incredibly complex gameplay and skill ceilings, 2 of the most successful esports title in history. Blizzard became the pc gaming juggernaut it is today based on those 2 franchises. Then WoW came along and redefined MMO's while providing what seems to be an inexhaustible amount of cash flow.

Since Blizzard published Starcraft 2 in 2010, what games have they made that were a success for esport? Diablo 3 sold well but it's mostly a solo game with almost no competitive facet. Hearthstone was another success and still makes a lot of money for Blizzard, but I'm not one to consider a card game an esport. Heroes of the Storm was an esport failure and Blizzard lost a lot injecting cash in a still-born game that didn't bring anything new and exciting to the genre. Overwatch is a fun and casual fps with interesting new ideas, but as an esport it's a joke, stale and repetitive metagame, utterly boring to watch, I feel overwatch league is going to turn into another artificial life support from Blizzard, losing them more money, and the game will probably die as soon as they pull the plug.

Diablo 4 will sell incredibly like the third one, but will they achieve any sizable player retention? Overwatch 2 barely 3 years after the first one sounds like a confession that they didn't achieve what they want with the first one.

At this point I don't care if it's Starcraft 3, Warcraft 4 or a new lore, I just want Blizzard to not abandon the RTS genre completely. They're the last developers I trust to keep the flame alive. If they don't, I fear we're gonna be stuck with MOBA's and battle royale's for the foreseeable future.

Aliens vs Predators was good ! (Espacially the second one when you start to play as facehugger)

But from all of those discussion i'm wondering if i'm the only person that don't want multiplayer focused games. I would very much like a good title for Single player with a nice story etc...

I mean... BioShock didn't need multiplayer... Right ?

I want a SC2 match between Serral and Maru in which each unit of supply for Serral is a FPS foreign pro and each unit of supply for Maru is a FPS Korean pro.

As an oldtimer, all I want is a Starcraft 3 where the visuals aren't designed mainly for kids.
