This is not true at all. they only chose starcraft universe because they have only 3:
warcraft universe
diablo universe
starcraft universe
can you imagine a shooter in warcraft or diablo universe? especially when there are multiple cash cows running and you risk ruining other games too?
yeah. they wanted to do a shooter then they picked the universe.
And a future rts in starcraft universe has nothing to do with this shooter but they just want to milk some cash from believes.
p.s. have you guys seen the cv of the blizzard ceo?
it will only get worse but anyway I will do here a quick summary
bachelor in theology / religion study 2000-2003 - > 4 years doing music -> manager in NFL (how you even get this position?) -> joined activision in 2018 (as Head of Call of Duty Esports, completely bonkers).
0 gaming experience prior to joining activision, not to say anything but maybe leading "call of duty esports" and all the future "call of duty" positions she occupied before becoming president/ceo, had an impact on: wow we need to make a new game let's make it shooter!
this will be fun tho

They invited ToD because the forsaken expansion, to showoff the new hero, there is no other way to justify this. Could have been Moon vs Grubby, or a tournament of 4. but that hero could not shine. It felt 200% predecided.

As someone who watches COD, I found her generally palatable. The league was certainly more competitive when she was around-I'll give her that.
Also, I was depressed to learn that Overwatch is a universe to them.

I was discussing her education and overall competence.
I do not deny that maybe she did something good for COD, probably most in her position would.
I am just stating that we might have a shooter because this person with no education (in game development or related areas), is making decisions that is 2 levels above her competence. Blizzard was a genre-defining game developer. Now is led by someone that thinks StarCraft should be a shooter. Truly hilarious  ).

Definitely a cool cinematic.
I don't know what it is but everyone from California comes off like they never left the state. It's like a bunch of Miss Lippy clones or something. I half expected that giggly Warcraft presenter lady to start brushing glue on her face. These people need to go to India or something.
Anyway, on paper it was a good Blizzcon. Two big announcements and a bunch of crowd pleaser stuff. Just nothing for the boomers. The Warcraft III Reforgeded doesn't cut it, and nothing else seemed to have much imagination. At least HotS is getting a revival.

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.) 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.
Just for clarification: The Selection increase is NOT just for the campaign, it is part of multiplayer aswell. It will be interesting to see how that goes, though I don't expect much backlash. It might affect air units though, especially Batriders.

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.
Naturally the SC-Community isn't particularly thrilled about the trailer, but beyond that I don't think there is much negative backlash. It was a cool trailer for a game that nobody has to really care for right now.

I would stress the word "cancelled", I wonder why? Anyway, now she is in charge of decisions and she thinks starcraft is a shooter. So that's that. Also does not help that she did corporate shooter stuff. Oh well.

I enjoyed the trailer! For a minute there I was bought into the marine's journey whilst thinking "wtf, marines just fucking die, how can you make marines these epic warriors?". Then... lol joke's on him.

Honestly, this is pretty much what I expected.
It was clear there would be a new announcement for the SC universe but simultaneously I think it had been unreasonable to expect a new RTS title, given the relatively niche status of RTS, the enormous cost of a new premier RTS game, and the fact that the SC2 engine is still essentially the best ever made; what the game is missing is not technical improvement but an engaged balance team, which Blizzard has left no doubt they are unwilling to set up.
As for the SC shooter, I don't mind it either way. Might be cool; might be a flop; we'll see.

Oh yes, they literally melt against zerglings :D

At least it wasn't a PG13 trailer.
Release date 2030, no wonder the balance team has no time to create a proper patch for SC2......

I think this is kind of my feelings on the matter. It takes probably way more work than Blizzard is willing to commit to create a new Starcraft RTS, balance it, and do it in a way that would make satisfy Starcraft or other RS fans.
Doing a shooter does give them more options, depending on how they execute the game, it could be fun. So while I'm not particularly excited for the game, I'm not all that disappointed.

Will starcraft be great again before america?

I don’t even think it’s a cool trailer.
