Did stacraft ghost have potential?

Going by what we know of it and logical development, would you buy it for the new game price in your country? What do you think would be needed to be changed for it to not retcon current established lore? (it was set 4 years after brood war, the same time as starcraft 2) What extra features would you expect to be added? Could an FPS or TPS really work in the starcraft universe? and lastly, do you think ghost could ever be revived and released?

 

Yes. I would've bought this thing FIRST DAY.

Intense looking multiplayer, and fast paced vehicle and foot combat?

Hell yea.

 

Same here, i'd be more excited for it than starcraft 2.

 

i would have played it, i dont play much shooters, but i would have given one by blizz a chance

 

It looked fun, and I'm still interested in the storyline. (It's due this December -- the novel based on the game that is.)

However, I doubt I would have bought a console just to play Ghost, and I don't have a console.

 

SC:G had potential, but Blizzard just kept procrastinating the same way a highschool student would for a report/project. I wasn't really excited by being able to play all threee races, as balancing that in an FPS would be pretty hard IMO

 

I'd say no, for all the procrastination, it didnt look that good.

 

I would definitely buy it, but Blizzard DOES NOT have a good reputation with making console games.

Still, playing as Zerglings or Zealots isn't exactly FPS.

And note that its status is "permanently delayed", not canceled.

 

Yeah, but its permanently delayed. Just that they didnt throw the whole thing to burn in a fire, still doesnt mean that much. Maybe they will sell the stuff to a third party or just release it just for laughs.

 

Wasn't ghost originally made by a third party and not Blizzard themselves?

 

Blizzard worked with another company to make StarCraft: Ghost.

However, Blizzard does that a lot. To hate Ghost because it was a collaboration is to hate most of their other games.

 

blizzard bought out the company that they hired first to make it

Ghost is Indefinitely delayed, theres a difference.

 

Blizzard worked with two companies. The first company quit, and Blizzard bought the second one.

 

Oh, so they were working with one before the one they bought out.

I think ghost had potential, they had some units for both zerg and terran multiplayer, i'm not sure how they could've balanced the protoss or if they would even have included them.

I hope blizzard will eventually be completed, i was really looking forward to it .

 

Same here. Still its status is permanently delayed.

Maybe they're waiting for something, or it would just be "canceled".

 

its 'Indefinitely postponed' that is not permanently its more until further notice.

They stated they did not have the resources to develop ghost simultaneously with other projects, most like starcraft 2 and diablo 3.

 

Oh. Well the main point is "postponed", not "canceled". They still have the work they've done, or maybe they're still WORKING ON IT RIGHT NOW!

 

I thought this game had tons of potential, it had some bad ass features and game-play in it. They were also gonna have multi-player in it where you cold be marines and drive seige tanks around and stuff. The game-play videos of it looked awesome and I was sad when it was canceled. I think they should at least bring Nova back in starcraft 2 in a side mission or something.

The game was gonna be a third person stealth action game similar to metal gear solid and splinter cell but you would get all these psonic ghost abilites and cool moves to perfrom as well as a variety of different weapons and equipment.

 

maybe they could make the first level playable in the hyperion in starcraft 2

 

well, likely they haven't made levels as much as certain gameplay mechanics.

i would love to have a starcraft mini-bonus demo thing in starcraft 2 but i don't think thats going to happen
