Azrael Strife Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Not sure how the comparison is even remotely relevant, but it's an interesting article. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/03/04...e-2/#more-26237 But the most important thing, it brought to my attention that the Freespace 2 Source Code Project and Babylon Project have already (about 1-2 years ago?) reached final stage Time to fetch my Freespace 2 copy and play one of the finest space flight sims out there!

FullAuto Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It's amazing how the fanbase has ensured that they have to essentially remake the game, rather than make a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yep, SC2 is supposed to be the same as SC1. Which means I'm not going to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Why not? SC1 was an awesome game, seeing it receive a face lift would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It's amazing how the fanbase has ensured that they have to essentially remake the game, rather than make a new one.The problem with making a "new" game is that it wouldn't be a StarCraft game. That is to say, a different game demands a different title. After all, the people most interested in sequels are those who actually played the earlier games in a series. In this particular example, the "earlier game" was dead good - if 2 manages to capture the same "feel", first time players will enjoy it too. Incedently, there was a "different" StarCraft game in the works - Ghost. Woulda been a third person shooter for consoles. Will probably never be released, at this rate. Suspect it woulda been a good game in it's own right, despite bearing no resemblance to an RTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Why not? SC1 was an awesome game, seeing it receive a face lift would be nice Because I already played it through... And because I got completely fed up with traditional RTS games after Warcraft 3. I know SC has the upper edge in balancing three really different races but in the end it still boils down to clicks per second and knowing building/unit queue by heart.

Matri Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 If I recall, Ghost was cancelled. And as for "new", I got two words for you BB:FarandCry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ghost might as well be canceled. It certainly won't see the light of day in it's original form. But Blizzard is that unique sort of company that doesn't need to pay attention to such silly things as "deadlines" and "budgets" - anything's possible. ... Haven't ever played FarCry, isn't that game like over a half a decade old by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well, the same could be said about an X-Com remake, couldn't it?NO! Blasphemy! Never clicks per second, NEVER. And that is the main grievance I have with RTS. Otherwise I would gladly play even a remake. As far as virgins go... I don't know, IMO games can wait.

Matri Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 This should explain my point, BB. Far Cry 1 was about genetic experiments by a mad scientist on an island in the middle of an ocean somewhere crawling with genetic mutants. Far Cry 2 was about diamonds. In the middle of Africa. And plain, ordinary humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was aimed at your "because I already played it" part of the comment, not the second, that's just a matter of tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 This should explain my point, BB.Ah, I getcha. So it's a series, and you're saying the gameplay is quite different between the different titles, yes? I haven't actually played them myself.

Matri Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It will be a series if they had anything in common besides the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
