Way to go Blizzard! now every just has to play while waiting for the next expansion to spend another $35+ on... source: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55267
What source did you get this from? Cause if it's real then they've really screwed the fans over with this. I'd rather wait a bit longer and get a full game than get 3 cut down games
sorry forgot to add the source, My Bad!!! http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55267 and also updated above
Wow, I really see how they want to make loads of money through SC: 2. And for those fans out there, they will definately pay for the game and all the other 3 expansion. Even if you're not an hardcore fan, you still might be tempted to get the rest of the expansion after you got the original. But I think it's kind of a cheap tactic to make more revenue as they already mult-million company.
well... the games will be full standalone... apparently the only problem i see is how multiplayer will be affected? i mean can we really complain about this if they treated this trilogy as expansion sets? it's also very clear they're very VERY far from a complete game... they're just barely touching the Terran campaign which is supposed to be the first campaign... so waiting on the full game may take 3-5 more yrs, and by then graphics engines will be redone... and they'd pretty much have to start from scratch... again -.-;
Yeah, I read about this on a website covering blizzcon, each campaign better be as long as a full game, or this is just total BS and a cheap way to take your money. The person at blizzard that came up with this idea needs to be shot >.<" what would be interesting to know is if the multiplay is same thourghtout the 3 games (ie. someone with the 1st game could play with someone who bought both 1st and 2nd games... unlike SC original and BW)
^ im sure online play will default it to maps both users have, and maybe patches for those playing 1st to see new characters/skills in the updated versions... but not necessarily be able to use them -shrug
u know... it really could be 3 stand alone games... each campaign could be years after each other... so maybe the units will get upgrades + graphic engine pushes too... it really would make for an epic game... I mean honestly, the Terrans look to be completely stacked right now, 5 battlecruisers could probably destroy a planet of zerg by themselves... so maybe each game could give each race time to evolve/upgrade their techs further...
I'm thinking each installment will be at least 6-9months apart, it gives people time to master tactics that may deem useful or be obsolete by the next game.... i think i might even get into it.... never was too big a fan for this stuff.
Blizzard already makes MILLIONS each month with World of Warcraft, having people buy 3 games won't make as much compared to that. I hope for their own sake that these 3 starcraft games will be worth it! We've waited to dang long for it. For now I'll hope on starcraft us-west, anyone up for some games?
They explain it here. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41531.html http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41533.html
I'm sure you don't have to pay for all 3 to play online. I'm assuming you get to play different campaigns based on which one you buy. You can probably download the other 2
