Starcraft MMO or Starcraft RTS what do you prefer?

JasPlun · May 2007

With all the hype about the possibility of Blizzard returning to the Starcraft universe, I am a bit curious to what you guys would look forward to most. I for one would be happy with starcraft 2 RTS but the Idea of playing from a roleplaying standpoint in a starcraft mmo would be awsome especially if they went with realistic graphics and not cartoon style.

CleffyII · May 2007

I don't think Starcraft really has the depth to become an MMO. The only other Blizzard IP I can see becoming an MMO is Diablo. However, I am pretty certain they are just going to create a unique IP for thier next MMO.

SeiferAlmasy · May 2007

I'd personally prefer an MMO since that's just my style, like you said with realistic graphics, but a Starcraft RTS would amaze me as well.

That Blizzard Teaser's got me thinking all kinds of different things!

Guess I'll wait and see the 19th.

JasPlun · May 2007

Well I would have to disagree with the notion that Starcraft does not have enough depth for a mmo, I think it has plenty if not more than warcraft.

What about an MMORTS? So you have a hero that gets gear and opens up skills, and a maximum tonnage that he brings with him when he drops onto the planet. So you could bring like 2 siege tanks and a squad of marines or go all infantry.

RTS

I would say RTS/MMO, but Bliz would need an existing game formula to copy,

and that game does not exist yet AFAIK.

I'm betting its RTS, and the next Bliz mmo will be Diablo. Diablo MMO will come

after we play-out the upcoming crop of sci-fi MMO's and cry out for a fantasy MMO.

Starcraft MMO, really. Although I would be happy with an RTS too, but if I had to pick, it would be an MMO.

An RTS, unless theyre going to make it retarded like Warcraft 3. I hated that game, it was far inferior to war 2 and even war 1.

Starcraft with new units and graphics is all Starcraft 2 should be.

There have been a bunch of successful RTS games released over the last few years. Is there anything new that Blizzard could bring to the RTS genre? I think it’s all been done.

The MMO space, on the other hand, still has a lot of room for innovation. There isn’t a single AAA MMORTS and only a few MMOFPS titles (with minimal success). Maybe a MMO with both FPS AND RTS elements. I have no clue what any of these games might look like or if they would be fun. The point is that they would be “something different.”

What little innovation there is now is coming from the indie developers. I would love to see a big company with deep pockets take a big risk and do something truly different.

Sci Fi Mmmmm mmmmm oooooohhhh

SonofSeth · May 2007

I would like it to be StarCraft, but more than that I'm looking at the timeline: 1994 1995 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004... and then start to think, man it was a long time since Blizzard made a new game, I wonder when the announced one could be done?

ChaoticRated · May 2007

starcraft is still so popular worldwide, i mean i even still play it haha, and yea i'd be happy for an RTS but if it was a MMO heck yea that be super awesome! if i had to choose i would say put them both together = great game lol

Trevorion · May 2007

I loved starcraft and am a huge RTS fan, however I admit that this genre is not that much appealing with all the various spawns popping up left, right and center. RTS is so common that even such a highly awaited game such as C&C3 was a bit of a flop with great graphics and new units but nothing fundamentally new. Unless we get some radical changes in AI behind such games, RTS is a bad gamble. MMO on the other hand is relatively new. The idea of text based systems had been on prior to the existence of a computer. The virtual graphics world just made everything much more attractive to all rather than to a secluded group of rp enthusiasts. So yes a starcraft MMO would be a moneymaker for Blizzard and a best bet. If you think there is no room for expansion in Starcraft you are terribly wrong mate. It's a scifi story and it talks about the universe. In such a situation there is no limit to the number of races and new physics you can introduce. Lol I would surely find it disgusting to be a zerg :P but hey I want to drive a goliath

Well thats rp for all!

ChaoticRated · May 2007

now that you mentioned that... yea starcraft MMO would be realllllllyyy!!!!!! great! man imagine you controlling Protoss Interceptor inside the Protss Carrier or even do air combat with Wraiths and Scouts WOW damn thats awesome! and maybe start off as the protoss race and change class into dark templars where you're invisble and do sneak attacks !? or even be high templars and use magic or become LT. and command Tanks, man... imagine the missions; form a party of marines and get dropped of by terran dropship in zerg territory!(i can just imagine the landscape of the zerg base/ territory!) damn this gets me so excited hahaha! but this is all but a dream (sigh) it'll never happen. well maybe if we're lucky enough this upcoming project is a starcraft MMO; well whatever man i dont care if blizzard release something good ill play, if not ill pass.

qemre · May 2007

I think Starcraft rts would be better because we are playing starcraft since 1999 and if it was a mmorpg we weren't playing for that long for sure.

narakuu · May 2007

Warcraft 3 was inferior to 1&2 for sure, especially the feel of the game... 1&2 felt more grim while 3 felt kinda cartoonish/silly.

I did have fun with 3 though ^^

But back on topic.... MMORTS for the win! There are none good ones out right now IMO.

Ruthgar · May 2007

RTS. I don't think you could balance the races and classes with Starcraft. You would have worse nerfs/buffs than WoW has had.

I wished people would give up the idea that races and classes should be balanced. Some races and classes should be better than others.

Blizzard hasn't released a real RTS since Starcraft. I don't count WC3, because it kind of blurred the lines of RTS and bleed a little over into RPG.

Trevorion · May 2007

If such an MMO should come out I would like it to be more realistic and see some blood and real physics :P I can't imagine a zerg killing without a splash! Of course we never stopped playing starcraft, its fast, cool and not graphic intensive in other words pure fun with no worries, anywhere, anytime. On the other hand having an MMO raid with real PCs and having the raid leader control and give orders in RTS mode is a welcome thought. Hey it will be playing generals with real people. Now that would be AWESOME. Problem is that it would attract a mature audience (I would thank God for this) and I guess Blizzard are more concerned with making money and getting as much sales as possible.

Starcraft topdown 2D MMO+RTS

jayheld90 · May 2007

MMO ftw...

freebirdpat · May 2007

I want an MMORTSFPS

RZetlin · May 2007

I would have to say Stacraft MMO.

Starcraft is an example of how a good RTS is done.

Starcraft 2 would be very difficult to live up to the brand name.

If Starcraft 2 had totally different gameplay system, fans would complain it's not like the original.

If Starcraft 2 sticks with the same gameplay, fans would complain it's too similar to the original [i](Just like Command and Conquer 3)[/i].

Zanthos · May 2007

Starcraft has such a huge world, the MMO would turn out to be like EVE.

And we don't want that under ALL circumstances.

WoW's out, make it a RTS.

velocity · May 2007

I am for the Starcraft MMO

Sramota · May 2007

I'd LOVE the MMO but the biggest juggernaut out there wouldn't compete with itself
Sadly...
But atleast I can dream..
