StarCraft Ghost (Consoles) Announced [Sep 19, 2002, 8:27 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Well the countdown got to zero on the Blizzard Entertainment
Website and like any good time bomb, the site seems to have exploded, and
is no longer responding under the crush of visits. The announcement they were
teasing is apparently plans for a game titled StarCraft Ghost that will bring
some of their popular sci-fi RTS series to the console world in what's described
as 3D tactical-action game. Likewise crushed under the burden of reporting on
this, Cube.IGN.Com
and PS2.IGN.Com
(thanks Chris Johnson) have stories up about the announcement for their
respective platforms, as does Xbox.IGN.Com
(thanks Ray Marden). This is what the Blizzard website is reporting, if you can
manage to get through:
Today at the Tokyo Game Show Blizzard Entertainment announced its newest product under development, StarCraft: Ghost. In this 3D tactical-action console game set in the legendary StarCraft universe, players will take the role of Nova, a lethal Ghost operative trained in the arts of espionage and tactical combat.Update: Blizzard has subsequently sent along the oddly asterisk-filled official press release announcing the game ("Co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Nihilistic Software"), and there are new screenshots on War3.com and some more shots and pieces of concept art from the game on GameSpyDaily.
As a Terran Ghost, Nova will employ an amazing array of physical and psionic abilities. Nova will also have access to a host of hi-tech weapons and vehicles, some of which will be familiar to players of StarCraft and Brood War.
Check out the official announcement in our latest press release. You can also see more of Nova, her adversaries, and some of the interactive 3D environments that she'll be infiltrating at our new StarCraft: Ghost Web site.
Blizzard has always had about two development teams, where both will be working on different projects.
Since now, Blizzard South is working on WoW for the PC, obviously Blizzard North is working on some game.
Blizzard probably thinks that WoW will sustain the PC market for a while. Their previous records that games are released roughly about two years gap.
Since WoW is coming out soon for the PC market, don't expect any new games from them for the PC platform for another 2 years.
They should have just got a new development team to create the console game instead of using one of their elite teams.
Furthermore, they should have just said before hand that the new game being announced was going to be a console game, then we PC gamers wouldn't have been hit as hard.
This is my view on things
