"...the feature film version will AIM for a PG-13 rating."

There is a possibility that it will not get a PG-13 rating.

>I don't believe that anyone could possibly break into the film business and have it the right way in less than 15 months.

My point was more centered around the idea of changing something for the better as opposed to just complaining about it. I'm not implying that everyone can get into the film industry before THIS version of the movie is launched. However, it IS possible to get in and change it for possible future endeavors (such as a Quake or <insert First Person Shooter here> movie) After reading 20+ posts from people who all agreed along the same line that it would already be crap, I thought I would try to take a more optimistic approach to the idea of a Doom movie.

>You may be right in your statement that suggesting pg-13 is a politcally correct manuveur, but you lost me when you said that we should go do it ourselves.

Again, I wasn't being entirely literal in regards to this particular Doom movie...it was more the principle behind the statement.

Lastly, everyone has the freedom to complain and say whatever they want, I simply wanted my two cents known. I just hope however the movie is done, fans walk away with at least ONE THING that was worth seeing in the 'Doom' movie.

Nothing is in stone in regards to future prospects of this movie. The snippet states that it will 'aim' for a PG-13 rating. There is a slight possibility that this was stated to appease the bible-bashers and Columbine-recovering soccer Moms that are on the lookout to point the blame at anything for violence in America. True, past movies based off of video games have sucked. This snippet didn't mention if the movie would be all computer graphics or use actors (I assume actors since it didn't specify.) Does anyone know anything else about the future prospect of this movie? It says "a writer" will be put on board...who? What if one of Id's guys is put in charge? Secondly, how far can one push the PG-13 rating? It doesn't have to be an intense shoot-em-up in the movie as it seemed to always be in game. If given enough depth, it might not need to break beyond the PG-13 limitation. My point is, have a little faith and keep an open mind about it. At the very least the idea has been brought to the surface yet again with the *prospect* of being something great. Lastly, if everyone is so pessimistic about how it's going to be ruined, why not stop complaining and make a difference by actually doing something about it (aka entering the film industry and doing it the "right" way).

I guess my main reason for this post is because I hate to see people shoot something down so quickly, when they know so very little about it. It's part of the reason why there's so much turmoil and conflict with one another today, imo.

I think the idea of StarCraft: Ghost sucks. I know alot of people were expecting a StarCraft 2 and this "game" must not only be a disappointment, but a slap in the face to those fans. Blizzard (currently)has no plans of releasing it to Mac or PC (also sucks) but they plan to develop it for "multiple console systems". Another thing is the popular cliche` of using a woman protagonist; yay. If anything, it makes me wonder where Blizzard is going in terms of the game industry. The only rationale reason I can think of Blizzard actually conceptualizing and producing something as lame as this is simply for expansion, to make money. : (

This is the right URL, correct?

Here's an idea...

With the popularity of WarCraft III's hero units Blizzard decides to release a bastardized version of a Diablo 2 style hero game. "WarCraft III: Hero Legacy" where you pick between a Demon Hunter, Paladin, or various other hero units. The game will essentially be Diablo 2 in look and feel, but the story will follow the WarCraft III storyline.

The above seems unlikely (right?) so I'm hoping for SC2.
