(By the way, that article you posted was just repeating the now-debunked PCGamer article from last year (you can tell by its date). It's so clearly, IMO, coattailing off the buzz coming from Bioshock, but the fact that they snubbed Ken Levine so pointedly, and *now* they come back ready to "care" about remaking it. but there are enough clues (they control the IP they are recruiting people with skills that, of all the IP they own to make a new game, only match with X-Com their lawyer accidentally leaked the name etc) that there isn't really any doubt left about it anymore. You can tell the difference between Blizzard and EA ever so clearly.Ī sequel to X-Com is also going to be developed by Irrational, although it hasn't been specifically announced yet. Starcraft 2 though these videos just put C&C 3 to shame. I just love the creation of games themselves.
What's funny is I'm not that into Starcraft itself. With that plus the talent they got, Starcraft 2 is on a course for greatness.
They got Starcraft which is the #1 RTS in the world. They didn't have to really start from scratch. Starcraft 2 is going to be something incredible. The level of detail, fluild animation, just flat out Blizzard quality. And of course this is one game they definitely don't want to rush. It is a lengthy development period, but given all the WoW work they've been doing in between that isn't surprising either. I'd be willing to bet that networking more or less works as well, since you pretty much have to build that in to the design from the start if you want to avoid major headaches later. And there's doubtless a whole lot of stuff they didn't show (base building, resource management). They've got a whole bunch of units in with animations, combat working with all its flashy effects, pathfinding and other per-unit AI working, and even nukes. Doesn't surprise me, given the level of detail in the gameplay footage.
