"We are 99 percent done,"
StarCraft II lead designer Dustin Browder
told Kotaku when asked about progress on the upcoming
Heart of the Swarm expansion for their science fiction RTS sequel. However, he makes it sound like one of those progress bars that will sit at 99% for a while, adding: "but that last one percent's a bitch." He goes on to explain that all the units are in place, but this next phase is open-ended: "It's the tuning and polish that really takes us a long time, and that's where we get into the unknowns."

I might be interested, but it depends very heavily on the price. Anything over 20 bucks and they can go fuck themselves.

Blizzard has never priced their expansions at $20.
Blizzard also said that each one was going to be its own game, not an expansion so no doubt will be full priced. The price tag is for the campaign.
On a different note, my guess is the last 1% needed to finish is how to shoe-horn Diablo 3's always online DRM into this. And why wouldn't they? Did it with Diablo 3 and the customers loved it so much, they voted with their wallets and made Diablo 3 the best selling game of May. This tells Blizzard that people love always online DRM the most
Doesn't SC2 already have the always-on DRM? I thought you had to log in to play? No? (Never bought it) |
