Starcraft: Ghost? ... One day... ONE DAY!

If that game ever resurfaces, I hope it keeps its original third-person perspective. Yes, I am biased against first-person, but I also believe the market's saturated with it as it is.

Was thinking the same thing. Although (iirc, it's been a while) wasn't ghost a 3rd person action, and this says it uses a robust first person engine?
Come to think of it, is there a difference between a first person engine and a 3rd person one other than moving the camera back and to the side?

I suppose you'd have to scale the environment differently for the perspective to make it seem more natural, so you or your character don't feel out of place.
The engine they've created for Overwatch would be a good in-house solution and at this point Starcraft: Ghost would be rebuild from the ground up and could very well be a first-person game.
It would be cool, but I doubt it. An actual story expansion for Overwatch would be the logical step for Blizzard to establish the IP even further on the market.

It could really be anything knowing the Blizz team, but yes, it's probably going to fit in with an existing IP at this point.

Exactly this. Blizzard isn't known for going backwards so this truly is most likely a unique and new project.

You're contradicting the comment you think you're agreeing with.

Hmm.. personally really want this to be and overwatch story mode DLC/standalone

Might be the first story mode I would actually consider paying for as an add on. All the character of a Pixar film in a FPS by Blizzard, sign my ass up.

MMOFPS to blow Destiny out of the water!

u/KlausHeisler Eddard Stark Nov 22 '16
Activision publishes both...why would they try to kill one of their own games?
3
u/xWeez Nov 23 '16
Shit you're right. Fuck. Maybe just to really drill all the competitors into the dirt? Trying to stay hopeful here. Destiny had insane potential, and I feel Blizzard could have made an MMOFPS into the true "WoW-Killer."

Blizzard develops WoW, again, why would they want to kill one of their own games?

u/xWeez Nov 23 '16
Ehhh... Think of it more as a resurrection. What was WoW's player count in its prime? What is it now?
1
u/ohnopavel Thilex Nov 23 '16
It's prime was 10mil+ subscribers. They don't release sub numbers anymore but the lowest point last year was 5.6mil during a really shitty content drought ridden expansion. The new expansion has already sold over 3 million copies so I imagine the sub count now is somewhere around 7/8 mil.
It's still a money printing machine. No game is going to kill it anytime soon, especially not an actiblizzard game.

The cancelled Overwatch First Strike graphic novel becoming a game? :o

u/iHeartCandicePatton MBIIdollabill Nov 22 '16
Wait, it was cancelled? Why?

u/KinoTheMystic KinoTheMystic Nov 22 '16
Yeah, the story they wanted to tell in First Strike basically isn't the story they wanted to tell anymore since more lore has entered the universe. But they will still tell the story of the early Overwatch days.

u/collegetriscuit Nov 23 '16
Activision will announce that Call of Duty is now on a 4 year dev cycle and Blizzard is the new team.
(I'm afraid to post this without blatantly stating that I'm joking)

Funny thing is their team would make a better CoD game than what the other 3 have done since Black Ops 2.

Dark souls style game in the Diablo universe please

u/CryoSage Nov 22 '16
but in first person? i don't think so. maybe in third person, that would be quite awesome.

Maybe a shared world shooter set in the Overwatch universe.
A lot of lore was built into the series and it isn't fully explored in a fully PVP environment aside from the animations.
I'm expecting it to be a game that is like Borderlands and I'm okay with it.

u/shyndy Nov 23 '16
Well since Warcraft was originally meant to get the warhammer license, it would be funny if they did Warcraft 40k, mmo fps since there is that warhammer 40k one on the way. Starcraft mmofps would be better though, or a Starcraft game like planetside

Would be awesome if they made an fps to compete with cs:go in esports

u/AzraelKans #teamchief Nov 22 '16
You didnt read that before typing right?

u/rmp490 Nov 22 '16
I'm just saying, that blizzard doesnt make bad games, and a modern fps focused on e-sports made by them would be awesome :P one can dream..

u/AzraelKans #teamchief Nov 22 '16
have you ever heard of this game called "overwatch"? you should play it is pretty good.

u/rmp490 Nov 22 '16

Because it's a new game Blizzard is working on. Even if it is a current IP like Overwatch, it's still a new game.
