SCII is RPG!!!!!!

[MacG]

What better way to explain the SC story by having a RPG! Blizzard North is developing a new game and I think its a RPG for SC!

[assassin_666]

plz tell me ur kidding if they came out with another lame sc game i would die. there alrdy gonna give us ghost. god i just want a real new sc game not all this other crap.

[GSG-9]

You mean like Diablo?!?! I wonder how it would turn out...

[Schwitzer]

I actually think Ghost looks alright (but I don't have any consoles, so I probably won't get around to playing it). Still, I'd be disappointed if SCII was anything other than a RTS.

[Lucifer_Hawk]

I'm pretty sure Ghost will be a really good game, you guys just arn't giving it any attention cause its no SC2, shame on you all, shame :mad: I think Starcraft just isn't the type of game that would fit in an rpg. It just wouldn't feel right playing the world of a great strategy game in a rpg, its just not right. Now, WoW on the other hand, that would be very easy to accomplish because of the type of World Warcraft is.

[Doom_Dragoon]

Now why would Blizzard make another RPG right after ghost? Come one... think logically.

[MacG]

Now why would Blizzard make another RPG right after ghost? Come one... think logically.
because Ghost is Console!

[dunchy]

You scared me, i thought you had a link to the game ;)

Hmm...can't really see SCII being rpg, but it would be quite the suprise that's for sure.

[Staind]

Blizzard North probably working on some crap game boy game no one will care about. ;)

[Lucifer_Hawk]

what the hell makes you think they working on a game boy game???? I don't see where that found its way into this conversation. BTW: banana dance :banana:

[SunTzu]

If SC2 is an RPG then the day after they make that announcement there will be a hord of crazy fans weilding tortchs outside of Blizzard's HQ. Not kidding.

[Dark_Warhawk]

You know the RPG is not such a bad idea. Yes, starcraft fan boys will lose there minds and there be a lot of crying, but that’s nothing new. I would get a Starcraft RPG and that don’t mean that there won’t be another Starcraft RTS game. I recall when I heard about Mario RPG and it was a departure for them and I was not very happy, but it turned out really well and one of the best Mario games ever. If there was a Starcraft RPG it could turn out well, but they would still have to make a Starcraft RTS to please the fan boys. All I know is it most likely not Diablo 3 and I know it’s not a Gameboy game, all there Gameboy boy games where just releases of there Super Nes games

[hXc_PiNG]

It would probably be RTS, but RPG would be cool.

[blkmage]

If it were an RPG, think in the direction of KOTOR.

[Fenix-MSG]

Hmm a better way to explain the SC story...... im stomped. Or they could just tell in an RTS, you know like they did the first one. It would be too hard to make it an RPG. First of all after the playing the first SC it would make much sense to be playing as a marine able to take down a few ultralisk.

Then there are three sides to the story. With an RPG you will only be able to tell them one, unless it is more like the LOTR:RotK. That would make everyone even more irate than just a normal rpg. See with out having to start over from a lower level again, it would only tell one side of the story. They have to tell all 3, hopefull 4 in the second one. To me a story of the game is a big part, so if they started 3 in SC then they must finish or preferably continue them in SC2. So now i hope you see why an RPG would be a poor choice for the next SC.

*smack's MacG in the back of the head*

Meh! No! Bad MacG! No biscuit!! >=/

[Battlecruiser]

wow rpg? man That would suck and yes I would be one of those people standing outside blizzard headquarters with torches

[Valjean]

I wouldn't be one of those idiots outside lizzard with torches...-_-

I'd get a tank and plow over everyone unless they start development on an RTS SC2. :D

[DarkNecross]

RPG?? are you kidding me?? i wanna see Starcraft 2 have a better 3D proccessing unit than Warcraft III: FROZEN THRONE!! ahh i can picture seeing the starcraft universe like it is in Warcraft III..

*closes eyes*
.....
*drools*

holy shit, that would look crappy. O_o

[Geckat]

Ghost looks awesome. Nova's hot and everything looks really realistic and fun. Calldowns, abilities, endless levels and weapons. And, Blizzard wouldn't make an rpg. They've never done it before and they wouldn't start off by screwing up their best-selling game. Starcraft wouldn't make a good RPG anyway. Blizzard excels at RTS and Console, not turn-based games.

[Ghost_Assasain]

Na waqy mate they gonna get so much Shit if the next SC game isn't a Great RTs or comes out b4 2020

[DrowElf]

My god. It wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard North released a mini-rpg of Starcraft, but Blizzard themselves wouldn't even attempt an RPG.

As for the gameboy advanced idea, blizzard north has done it with that Nordic game or what the fuck ever. I can't believe you people ignore this shit and then act like you're a l337 SC gamer. Being on B.net is more than playing other players, it's half chat and taunt. That and watching replays.. c_c

Next in line, go check out some fucking websites. 2008.

[echolon]

It sucks that they didn't make a starcraft 2 that was in 3d like warcraft. but only with new things and new ideas. it is one of the best games in the world...

[Netrunner]

See, I would like 3d SC but some units would just look weird (not to mention buildings)

[Killphill]

They could always make a campainge for Starcraft 2 that was an RPG, if they added in heros...
But still, how are you gonna continue the story line if you playing as one person. . And the enemys would probley be Zerg. They would have to make alot more unit types, it would get boring killing zerglings with a rifle after a while.

[Lord_Sirian]

I think SC would be better converted to a game like Planetside rather than an RPG. How kewl would it be to pilot a Corsair first hand.

[ZergTyrant]

hmmmmm i think they first need to make starcraft 2 and then try to make otha types for starcraft.....like...i dont know.....starcraft online adventures.

u could pick your race (zerg, terran, protoss, zel-naga, etc.) and job. go on quests in space or on planets and participate in massive battles.

Thats just wut i think would be cool but.....im gonna go into "my little corner of sanity" and dream and cry about starcraft 2.:bigsmile: :cry: :) :mad:

plzzzzzzzzz replie to this post

[Duddits]

-shakes-

I too thought that you had a link to the game or something. But yes, SC2 as an RPG would not win my love. RTS or bust.

[ZergTyrant]

Well i guess rpg would be weird...but just like a small budget rpg starcraft game not a huge 1.
Im frikken addicted to Starcraft and I agree that RTS is the way to go with SC.
hmmmmmmm

Starcraft chess?!!!? who knows?...

dont answer that last 1

hows that new starcraft ghost lookin right now and when is the fukin thing cumin out ive been waiten 4ever for it.....drool:tu:

[Giggilyomeromicon]

A starcraft rpg would be ok if it wasent 3D.




3D would look like shite...but ghost looks good.

:wave:
:bananaroc:banana::bananaroc:argue:

[ZergTyrant]

i think if they could put the SC ghost graphics into a starcraft rpg... the would be really cool

u could level up and use special abilitys...like magic in everquest

[Duddits]

Well i guess rpg would be weird...but just like a small budget rpg starcraft game not a huge 1.

hows that new starcraft ghost lookin right now and when is the fukin thing cumin out ive been waiten 4ever for it.....drool:tu:
From the last I've heard, it comes out in... -checks watch-

3 days.

[ZergTyrant]

well...I DUDDITS!!!!!!

and i think its actually cumin out in the summer or early fall i hope
cant wait for it...
im surviving on old 64 games that im revisiting to tie me over.......
:samurai:

[that_guy3]

wow i didnt know it wasnt out yet! i thought it was out already! i guess im not up to date with it cuz it doesnt really interest me :tu:

[Whiteknight]

Starcraft chess?!!!? who knows?...
You know, that gives me an idea...

[ZergTyrant]

Ok srry about that remark about chess, im addicted to that too...

well just for shits and giggles heres wut I have.

Black
King: Overmind
Queen: Infested Kerrigan
Bishop: Mutalisk
Knight: Hydra
Rook: Gaurdian
Pawn: Zergling

White
King: Jim Raynor
Queen: Kerrigan
Bishop: Battlecruiser
Knight: Goliath
Rook: Seige Tank
Pawn: Marine

Just think about it......weird huh?

[Watusa]

I dont think it would be a good rpg game either and i dont think there gonna make it GBA cuz i wouldint work. Its probably gonna be simmilar to SC but like another expantion Ex

SC = Marines
Brood war = Zerg
SC2 = zealot??

Its logical beacause if you look in the 1 player missions the first 1 you take is the marines (sc) and in brood war its the zerg, so maby SC2 will be for protoss lovers? who knows?

[Lord_Sirian]

Hmmm. I still say a SC mmofps would be kewl.

[Duddits]

Ew? SC2 as a FPS would cause global riots and uprisings in governments. Blizzard would be hung my their eyelids and the Koreans, united, would take over the world.

[Lord_Sirian]

Well... that's your opinion. And unfortunatley, you're entitled to it. :(

[Valjean]

Ew? SC2 as a FPS would cause global riots and uprisings in governments. Blizzard would be hung my their eyelids and the Koreans, united, would take over the world.
Heh. I have to agree. :p

[Lord_Sirian]

Tell me you wouldn't like to pilot a Corsair???

[Valjean]

Are you kidding me? I suck at flight sims, let alown battle ones. I doubt I could control a protoss ship and/or do basic combat. :tu:

But seriously, yeah, I've thought about this kinda stuff, but no RPG for SC2 is what I'm saying.

[Icemant90]

If it were an RPG, think in the direction of KOTOR.
WAH! NOT KOTOR! Kotor is a crap, boring, click here and I win kind of game. (IMO).

[Spell_Binder]

What the heck are you thinking????? Starcraft would be horible if it was tuned into an RPG. The storyline and plot is not set up for something like that. Although I do admit it would be intresting to see what they would do with it.

[Maegtelluma]

Sure, driving/flying/piloting a (insert starcraft vessel here) would be fun, but it isnt what most everyone wants for SCII.

[DarkFJ]

i think that what tou mean is StarCraft:Ghost not StarCraft2

[SHISHKABOB]

Dude Starcraft as an RPG would be THE most dumb game. SC is not a game suitable for an RPG format. Anyway who would be the character? Theres too many characters too focus on a single one. You could be able to pick what person you want.

for example

Raynor: Terran
Kerrigan: Terran
Infested Kerrigan: Zerg
Infested Duran: Zerg
Tassadar/Zertual: Protoss
Fenix/Artanis: Protoss

But that would take way too long to make and it would take up like 5 Gigs.

[BSTRhino]

I most definitely agree! Bring on the armies!

[Grunge_Rocker]

Iunno... couldn't sc2 combine elements of both worlds, RTS and RPG? I mean, many players of the original StarCraft easily managed to design maps that had rpg characteristics; and I for one thought it was pretty cool.

But let's exclude any traces of Ghost at all. I've not read enough into into it to really know what it's about or what it's like -- except for the fact that its a krummy DoomII-type shoot`em up. I DO NOT want to see the next, bad, new, mafuckin StarCraft game to look like that. If it is, we should abandon it and begin building upon the worlds we fastened in the first sc game.

[BSTRhino]

Oh, don't say that... StarCraft: Ghost is much more sophisticated. Really. Although sophisticated doesn't necessarily mean good, that's sort of up to yourself.

Anyway, yes, they could go along the same path as they did with WarCraft by having role playing and RTS put together. But if you wanted that, you could just buy WarCraft instead. It's my opinion that StarCraft should stay as an RTS, but who knows, I'm sure whatever Blizzard does, will be great.

[Battlecruiser]

It's my opinion that StarCraft should stay as an RTS,
I agree, the reason many of the people liked Starcraft was because it was an RTS, if they wanted an RPG they would have played Final Fantasy.

[Foreign_Dog]

The enviroment isn't set up for an rpg. lets put it this way : 3 large armies races warring against eachother(and themselves). An infested Terran at the top. Wtf...A few heroes and..anatagonists are dead.. That's not the way most RPGs are. Final Fantasy noone dies because they dont have to.

(and to whoever was saying SC was marine and Ling was broodwar..you're a moron...)

[Frattimonde]

What better way to explain the SC story by having a RPG! Blizzard North is developing a new game and I think its a RPG for SC!
I don´t think they would.
Starcraft Is not fit for RPG form.

Blizzard would "not" like to destroy the hopes of their fans!
Plus you have no proof!

[BSTRhino]

Heh, I think MacG was just being funny. Blizzard wouldn't make SCII an RPG. You're right Fratt, their fans would kill them for doing that.

[Grunge_Rocker]

Yeah, I agree with both Foreign Dog and Fratt. If you want to play an rpg, then Final Fantasy is your thing. I enjoyed following up those campaigns from end to end, just like they were on ESPN (`scuse the pun), and seeing who had lived and who died. It's all in the suspense for me.

[BSTRhino]

Heh, I don't get the pun. Do you have to live in America to get that?

[Dr_Inferno]

if sc2 was an rpg, it wouldn't be sc2, it'd be "Starcraft: the role playing game" or something

[Fenix-MSG]

First of all you cant exclude all the stuff in ghost. It is part of the storyline. It is what connects BW to the next SC. Second, Doom was a great game, but starcraft ghost is not like that. It is more like Splinter Cell(i almost put SC for that too, coulda caused some confusion.) Its a Third person(or atleast i belive) tactical shooter. Not a FPSing blow crap to pieces game. :)

[dragonX]

Having heroes that level with the different skills already doesn't fit as much as it does with games like WarCraft and Diablo .. well.. mainly because of the whole issue with technology and all that 8)

[Elric666]

Im new to the warboard so I'll put my two cents in on the SCII speculation. I thoroughly enjoyed the SC series to date but it is definitely in need of an update. I really think we need a WORLD OF STARCRAFT myself but I'll have to settle for a 3d SC RTS I guess. Imagine looking up to the skies and seeing a battle cruiser that you hailed raining fire down a zerg colony. I play WWIIOnline now and Ghost Recon/Viet Cong now so its really hard to get into SC anymore. I want the adrenaline rush of driving a tank or soldier witnessing the onslaught of zerg or protoss firsthand. Rather than just watching them destroy building, lets go hand to hand. 2d SC and an even suped up 3d SC ala Warcraft 3 makes me feel like im playing checkers. The rush is gone. Put us in the real SC world that we know you can make Blizzard. Youre doing it w/World of Warcraft...step up to the plate and do World of Starcraft now...PRETTY PLEASE?:cool:

[King_Templar]

I will express my personal views about starcraft II being an RPG. I would NOT buy it. I like sc as an rts. For all the people that want it more of an idividual unit thing, go get Ghost. Thanks for reading this.......


Για τη δύναμη του κενού θα συντρίψει όλους που appose εμείς...

YES, i would Not buy it too. Because SC must alway is RTS.:shiftyr:

[warmasterofoblivian]

What better way to explain the SC story by having a RPG! Blizzard North is developing a new game and I think its a RPG for SC!

blizzard just make sea units heroes and 3d not a rpg damn blizzard

[J_Tal]

think about it, if they make any type o game with "star-craft" logo on it, it will sell. it is that simple

i would hate to think they would do that to us though.

i however think that sc ghost will tie into the story line and sc2 will continue on after all is said and done.

isn't ghost to come out in dec.? (that is, if they don't postpone it like they usually do):?

[Vhaeraun]

J_Tal, it will sell, pretty good at first, but when ppl realize that this isn't the SC they've come to know & love,(Hail RTS) they will forsake it.

SC as an RPG would suck, & I would definately be in the mob that storms Blizzard demanding for an RTS

[BAD_BOB]

1st of all: That Banana is awesome :D
2nd of all: if u guys dont have a console to play SC : Ghost on boo frickity hoo
3rd of all: we really dont need another RPG OR 1st person shoota ok?
4thof all: We alled a SC2 so that we can have a new best game ever.
SC is the without a doubt one of the greatest game's ever made but it came out 10 ago ok guys?

(but only if it was a strategy game, we dont need another RPG besides ghost)




Anyways thats my opinion :D

[the_invisible]

I'm pretty sure Ghost will be a really good game, you guys just arn't giving it any attention cause its no SC2, shame on you all, shame :mad: I think Starcraft just isn't the type of game that would fit in an rpg. It just wouldn't feel right playing the world of a great strategy game in a rpg, its just not right. Now, WoW on the other hand, that would be very easy to accomplish because of the type of World Warcraft is.yes i aggre starcraft would not fit in an rpg
but starcraft ghost is ... well see for yourself www.blizzard.com (http://www.blizzard.com/)
