I hear ya, not a huge Blizzard fan myself. Starcraft is alright, but I'm not the biggest RTS fan, truth be told, I'd rather play MechCommander 1 or 2 again. Or something with Capital Ship combat (Armada).
I keep forgetting that Blizzard was responsible for the Lost Viking though. I could care less about Diablo anymore; played WAY too much D1 back in the day and just can't bring myself to play it or D2.
"The units look huge! I hope there's a zoom button or something, mass management looks difficult."
I thought that too. It's a bit Warcraft 3-like in that aspect. Let's just hope they manage to maintain the balance between units and races, because that's really what made the first game so great. I'm totally digging the graphics though. Omg, those battlecruisers
The units' size are fine... Ok so it's a bit 'in-your-face' but its obviously like that to emphasize some factor, I think it looks great! We need more RTSs.
To be honest I'd like to see Blizzard come up with something new Fair play to them if they've been making a lot of money on 2 or 3 series', but I think they can do better than a graphical update, a new race and a bit of a gameplay change... Well, at least they like to please their fans
Then again I've never been able to get into RTS games. I'm far too impatient to play enough to get good, and I dislike the fact that an entire game is decided by what you do at the start, most of the time. I only ever played Warcraft 3 for the making/playing of custom maps
I'm with the people who'd rather have a new Diablo
Nah, I think it's fine. A new race is maybe a bit too much, but they are of course introducing new units and stuff to the game, as well as upgrading old classic units:
I hate RTSes. It's probably one of the 3 genres that can get me flipping a middle finger at the screen, besides football management games and games where you spend weeks building a tough char/city/world and it all gets razed by some bully.
Still... I loved Starcraft like I loved Red Alert. I don't know, I think it's the storyline and the fact that it's so balanced. You can't go up to a guy and say that he's not playing fair. Heck, Starcraft was so good it still exists in the WCG.
But I'm just worried that they'd turn Starcraft into another Warcraft. If they got the same designer, maybe it's fine, but something in my gut tells me that it'll end up as just another RTS I say I won't buy but end up buying anyway.
