Without gameplay or a concept beyond "open world shooter", this is literally a day of work for someone in the marketing department. So I am about as hyped as they put effort into this. | ||

If this flops, Blizzard will put away the shovel and use the Drakken Laser Drill instead to even deepen the hole Starcraft is living in right now. | ||

RTS isnt being developed off this or it's 2035 regardless. Who cares? There's perhaps up to 2 other starcraft games in development. Have to hope our mobile friend Nexon is on an rts. This trailer for 2030 is hilariously stupid, out of touch, and getting laughed at across all of the internet, as it should be. | ||

I'm still surprised D4 even launched. I played the free to play stress test or whatever it was the weeks before it came out and thought it was laughable that this was even being considered shippable content. If it was free to play it would still be questionable but to have an 80$+ price tag with it is insanity. Then they one up it by having the gall to announce an 'expansion' that was more of the same. Not surprised they decided to flush it for the next title but nobody except for the most mindless drones will ever give blizzard the benefit of the doubt after that. | ||

It is NOT a colorful and charming game full of goofy voices, nerdy references, and fun. Don't you dare think that! | ||

Been too long. Maybe they give us more micro missions like the Nova ones in SC2 at some point, that would be fun. | ||

I was worried when I saw the update and launched it to check. (I don't have or use reforged so might not even be an option for me, wouldn't use it anyway.) (edit: It's actually in the game lol) But regardless wouldn't change anything competitively. Almost all of the time issuing a full control groups worth of units is detrimental/bad. Moving/chasing = 0 dps. Late game air situation with gyros would be the only value for pro players. It's like all army hotkey in sc2, the only person that makes it work is hero and even then the tradeoff is letting lings into his base in pvz. | ||

Jokes aside. I had a gut feeling it would be shooter (just saying). Looking at the attention Blizz gives to WC3 then contrasting it with SC:R is uhh I don't even know how to term it. | ||

Also, are they now officially uncapitalizing the C in StarCraft? i think that and the change in font for the lettering is just to make sure it is not confused with the rts line. | ||
