Blame WoW For Starcraft II's Late, Late Release


Recommended Posts

They had a lot of really great experience to bring, with their knowledge of how they approached the map editor problems, how they dealt with balancing - which we could then leverage into class balancing.

so like... somehow they are taking the balancing from an mmorpg and putting it into an rts?

I hope its released this fall. I have it reserved and WANT THIS GAME NAO!

If it doesnt come out this fall or early next year, I give up on it. IDC how much money WOW brings in. It makes people waste there lives/loose there jobs for a ****ing game.

Either, HIRE more people, or finish the damn game.

In the latest SC2 interview, Dustin says that he 'thinks' the Beta will be between 4-6months long. However, we know Blizzard and how they like to delay things, so if balance issues and problem arrises in beta, it could be along time after that :p

but on-topic.. Blame WoW for giving Blizzard enough money to put SC2 into a 6year development cycle, ensuring that its going to be an amazing game :)

sorry but Expansion packs shouldnt cost 50 bucks , 25 bucks maybe not higher , and i'm pretty sure i didnt blowed 100bucks on starcraft + expansion

I honestly do hope that the 1st chapter takes longer than 24h non stop to end it and has more than just 20 missions ( which will turn into like 15 missions and like 10h gameplay to finish the game like the last games developers are releasing )

Each release will contain an epic campaign for the respective races (Terran, Protoss, and Zerg). The first one, titled "Wings of Liberty", will be about the Terrans. Also, I believe it'll include a Protoss mini-campaign. Who knows, it might just be worth the price it'll be sold at.

But in any case, I think the article was designed to invoke a reaction.

Bingo.

It's out very soon, WoW has been incredibly successful and it was a wise decision to help get it out the door first. There's no real need to lose the cool now and get upset about anything.

maybe they are taking the lowest common denominator approach to starcraft 2 , just like how they did with wow ... thats why the game looks like 4 years old

Actually, having a look at previous Blizzard titles... the expansion packs are more than worth the money (if charged at the same price as the previous one). Take Frozen Throne for WC3, it was a huge expansion pack with many..many..many hours of enjoyment from it. The singleplayer is 'said' to be extremly big for SC2, also that they've tried to take it away from standard missions of 'Build Base, Kill X'.

Also, that this wont just be expanding on the original SC2 release, it will be a new race (i.e. Zerg then Protoss).

You could argue that you dont want to pay to play a race you dislike.. but cost really isnt an issue.

will they still launch the 3 separate chapters ? or due to this delay they will launch the entire game instead of doing 1-2-3 ?

Hi i hope they don't put out the chapters one by one that would be really annoying why not put it in one whole game it would be much better.

Really liking the new look for Protoss :)
