Title: STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on September 18, 2003, 05:41:24 AM
This game comes out i think in 2004, which stinks, but worth the wait.  What is your opinion on this game?  I believe it would be quite interesting to go through starcraft worlds in 3D as one of the characters of the terrain race.  I would think it would be very scary to come face to face with an ultralisk or a battleship!  I heard it would have 20 some levels which will be cool.  I can't wait!

It's a stealth shooter. That's all I need to know to decide not to buy it.

I've heard back and forth over the last month or so that it wasn't making it to GCN.  Anyone heard recent news to the contrary?

The rumor that goes is they're going to announce exclusivity later.

Exclusivity for which console?
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Rob91883 on September 20, 2003, 02:05:08 AM
If they wanted to make this exclusive, Blizzard would have announced that by now.  And they wouldnt have gone to all the trouble of announcing it to all the console systems.   Well anything is possible, but its severly doubtful this will ever happen.

Star Craft Ghost, Blizzard cleary showing all 3 console logos

SCG GCN version will look almost unnoticeably similar to the xbox version, as stated by the developers
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on September 20, 2003, 03:58:57 AM
Yes it will look like the xbox version even thought blizzrd is using xbox as the main platform version and GC and PS2 version will be the ports of the xbox version

Hybrid Hunter: Unknown. Most people say it's the XB.

I hope that it isnt Xbox exclusive because I would rather have it on GameCube. I will wait if it is time exclusive to xbox and i hope everyone else here does too. LONG LIVE NINTENDO.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on September 20, 2003, 08:53:04 PM
Its not Xbox exclusive their just using Xbox as the main developing platform just read their SC:Ghost FAQ.

Ive seen screenshots to this, coming face to face with a hydralisk (the zerg or the bugs).  It's not pretty!.  Imagine coming face to face with a battlecruiser or an ultralisk.  Now that's a scary thing!  This idea is sort of like aliens vs predator isnt it?

I can tell you this is going to be the greatest game on the market when it comes out.  I've been following it for a year now, and I am a huge StarCraft fan.  (Never played the PC version though; just the N64 port, sadly.)  SCG was originally going to come out Winter '03, but they pushed it back, so you know Blizzard is putting their all into this game.  If this turns out to be anything less than perfect, I will be surprised.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: joeamis on October 14, 2003, 03:39:37 PM
a huge starcraft fan from only playing the n64 version!  now that's impressive.
starcraft is now my fav game of all time, and i've played through over 200 games now,
however i owned it for 4 years before that happened, lol which says alot about the games depth.  you owe it to yourself to get the pc version and play it online, and make your own games with the editor, it's bliss

Post by: GoldShadow1 on October 14, 2003, 05:45:07 PM
I too am anxiously awaiting this game.  I'm not sure if it's going to be "perfection" but surely it will be a great game.  If Blizzard can recreate the tension and cinematic feel of the StarCraft cut scenes (Do yourself a favor and watch the one that takes place on the battlecruiser - the Norad III I think - it's amazing) in a stealth game it will be excellent.
Title: RE: STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on October 14, 2003, 08:55:36 PM
try playing this game late at night in the dark, and then turning a corner where you dont know whats around it, and then staring into the eyes of a hydralisk, it will make shivers down your spine!  That's how good i think this game will be.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on October 24, 2003, 10:06:50 AM
i saw more screenshots of this game, it still looks kick ars (<----- no it is not a typo).
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Fluke Worm on October 24, 2003, 10:41:14 AM
I too got my first taste of SC on the n64 and have been a SC fan ever since.  I do hope this game measures up to the hype, though I really do think it will cus` Blizzard is pretty good about quality.  My only gripe is that Nova got a barbi make-over
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on October 28, 2003, 08:48:56 AM
Judging by previous blizzard games, and the screenshots, im sure they will infact do a flawless job on this game.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on October 31, 2003, 03:58:43 PM
Blizzard does a god job on their games exept on their patches on their PC games to name one Diablo 2 and expansion

One of my Diablo II playing friends was complaining about the newest patch earlier today.

Blizzard rarely dissapoints and shouldn't now.

Every game has their disadvantages (even just 1), what do you think it will be in this game?
Title: RE: STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: KDR_11k on November 06, 2003, 07:15:46 AM
Stealth gameplay? Enemy AI?
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: the_zombie_luke on November 06, 2003, 11:34:50 AM
I think I read you can use a goliath! That's my favorite unit in StarCraft. Go ahead, Tacomm!
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Ocarina_Jedi on November 06, 2003, 12:17:04 PM
You get to drive a goliath, a siege tank and a vulture.  i think that missle turrets will be operable too.
Title: RE: STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on November 06, 2003, 07:05:28 PM
i loved the goliaths!  That will be fun.  On starcraft on the internet, i only made goliaths and nothing else, because they have decent health, armor, and attack, and can attack land, and air, they also dont take much to crew.  I always win with swarms of goliaths (for attacking every single unit) and ghosts (to disable battlecruisers, and other machinery and deploy nukes), thats the only units i use, and i win!  Hehe.  Whats' your strategy?
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on November 07, 2003, 07:18:57 AM
In some missions you get to call down nuke strikes and make a beacons to call down reinforcements.

Post by: Flames_of_chaos on November 09, 2003, 02:18:51 PM
Yea, if there is a disadvantage it might  possibly be some slowdown  or frame drops in intensive action areas. My second guess is some missions might be repetetive.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Ocarina_Jedi on December 13, 2003, 06:33:51 AM
Ugh.  The release date got pushed back again.  So much for February.  Now we have to wait until June.

Till June?..........Well, this isn't unexpected..Blizzard is known for delaying games but this game has been in the making for a long time now.

Post by: Zero_Plague on December 13, 2003, 01:15:25 PM
If your a fan from the Starcraft N64 version, wait til you play the PC version... and its expansion. It is absolutely the best!

But with StarCraft: Ghost, I think everybody is to hyped up about it.
Blizzard dont have experience in making a First-Person Shooter/Stealth, and I think that this game will just go down as bad as Command and Conquer: Renegade did.

I wont mind this game, but I'd of rather they made a Starcraft 2 (strategy).
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST

Feb 29th cant wait.. thats the release date on Nintendo.com

oh good, i prefer it to be january rather than June, ehh *barfs*

Hah, the date is now officially set.  Febuary 13th!  Just in time for a valentines present for me.  hehe

Post by: Djunknown on January 20, 2004, 04:58:34 PM
Dammit! I forgot all about Ghost....

I'm surprised Blizzard's been real quiet about it, they usually hype up their game releases somehow. Even the GBA re-releases got some advertising, why aren't they tooting their own horn? Haven't recently seen any previews, but since I haven't been pro-active maybe there are some...

"Its not Xbox exclusive their just using Xbox as the main developing platform just read their SC:Ghost FAQ."

couldn't have said it any better, this should definetly be on all platforms.
Title: RE:STAR CRAFT GHOST

It is official that it will indeed be on all three platforms, maybe even possibly on the PC.

last i heard it was console exclusive.  no pc.
Title: RE: STAR CRAFT GHOST
Post by: Swordsplay on January 21, 2004, 06:23:30 PM
i know, thats what i meant.  They might decide to put it on the pc in the future, like in 2006 or something, is what i meant, sorry about that.

Post by: Ocarina_Jedi on January 23, 2004, 12:34:59 PM
Just went in and reserved my copy of it two days ago!  I thought that they said the release date was early march, but I can't remember...Oh well, february or march, either one is fine with me!

Patience grasshopper. A fledgling game released before it's ready to fly will surly fall victim to the glitchy fox.
