Starcraft 2 to be 3 seperate games...

Post by Animalor »

Waiting for that other show from the ActiBlizzard thing?? Here it is..

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/10/starc ... a-trilogy/

They're splitting the Starcraft campaign into 3 different titles, each focused on the seperate races.

They better be pricing the total of all 3 games to the price of a normal PC game or else they'll have lost my money(not that it really matters when it comes to Blizz games.)

So it's be what..? One part released every 15-20 years?

The word coming out of Blizzcon is that the Terran campaign will have full featured multi-player. When the other parts of the campaign come out they'll have changes to the MP similar to what Brood War had.

No word yet is they are going to be patching those changes to SC2:Terran once SC2:Zerg comes out. (Oh, and the order will be Terran, Zerg and Protoss).

I'm going to assume that the release schedule for the expansions will be MMO-ish with 1 every year..

They prolly adding some new things with each expansion as well.

Some new Zerg-units (a la Brood Wars) with the Zerg-campaign etc

Protoss X and Y being able to merge into Z and some more new protoss tech in the Proto-campaign etc.

Not just new maps. I am certain the real Starcraft-fans(South Korea) will buy them all! :D

That's the whole (stated) reason for the split.

The blurb I saw said the original starcraft had 32 missions- 12 terran, 10 protoss and 10 zerg. The new one will have "well over 30" missions for each race. So sounds alright to me.

Could this be a prelude to World of Starcraft?

It has to be. WoW will be 7-8 years old by the time all this StarCrap comes out, and I just don't see any MMO, ever, lasting more than a decade at the top.
