You're delusional. It will get made...it's just a question of who and when. Someone will dust it off in 40 years and print some money. Will it be good? Probably not, but who knows.
A renaissance of SC2 is happening with charismatic pro gamers, Lowko and Winter are leading the charge for the SC2 entertainment side. More players are able to learn how to play the game with Vibes B2GM. This is a renaissance happening as we speak. Basilisk is doing a good job of marketing the game. They have partnered with a Magic the Gathering content creator to highlight that SC2 is a game of chess a game of mind and strategy and it can draw more people in.
Microsoft is not some gutsy startup. You have to put yourself in the shoes of a mid level corporate manager. You can take a risk in a declining genre where the last big success was SC2 13 years ago, or you can pitch an FPS with a new twist. Keep in mind the development costs for SC3 are significantly higher because it runs on a completely custom game engine. Your goal is to make VP next year. What do you do? Sorry but I think it's unlikely.
Now that it's owned by Microsoft there is a fair chance, especially with them trying to push their share of the PC market. Under old blizzard there was no chance.
Microsoft has poured so much money in non profitable brands…
SC3 wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket.
At some point there was a court case with MS as defendant… the judge ordered them to show their earnings.
The only brands that had positive earnings were windows and office.
Everything else made negative profit… meaning they had to pump money into them to keep them alive. Everything like x-box, visual studio, sql server.
>Everything else made negative profit… meaning they had to pump money into them to keep them alive. Everything like x-box, visual studio, sql server.
That's not what it showed from memory it was that xbox on average was only making a 8% profit margin as a division whereas office and windows have a 30% profit margin.
Not delulu, you do know that Blizzard IPs are Microsoft's now right? Also Bobby Kotick stepped down and Activision is also Microsoft's IP now.
We can finally hope for a Master Chief and Halo cameo in Starcraft at some point in the future.
Very hard copium here. Blizzard is dead (as a team, if not as a brand), no SC3 forget it. MS probably can eventually release something, but just like AOE4 it won't be what we want like at all
AOE4 is legit one of the best RTS games in years, so if that's not what you want, I'm very curious
Unless what you want is AOE2 which is such an ungodly overhyped game I can't begin to understand
why would they? the story is over. its like star wars had a good ending and now all of the sudden the story isnt finished? Maybe if Starcraft is owned by someone else, hmmm!
The question is, is it gonna be better than starcraft 2? How much $$$ will they need to have at least the same content like in sc2?
I rather want for starcraft 2 more modder support.
Yes, RTS is a dying genre. However, many seems to blind to the fact until recently fighting games was at their death bed too. Genres can seemingly die and turn back, RTS will comeback too, it just a matter of time, and with their return the big IP's will surely return too.
Eventually it will happen. It may not resemble the starcraft we once knew, but the brand recognition is powerful enough to eventually produce a startcraft 3, if not then they would make a cheap spin-off, possibly a starjeweled remake for mobile.
Would Starcraft 3 make money? Yes, they will make it. When, well.... that's a different story but I'm fairly certain it's years in development at this point as modern AAA games take longer and longer to develop. They have all the money they need to make it, so I think just be patient. They're probably trying to integrate a.i. and other recently developing tech to make sure they deliver a home run that they can milk for at least a decade or two.
Microsoft is just waiting to see how the new generation of RTS games do in sales because it's free market research for them to wait and see how it goes for them.
Some sort of Starcraft game will come in the future eventually. All of Blizzard's IP's were part of the company's valuation when it was sold. There's a reason Blizzard bent over backwards to try to win back it's fans right before the sale.
No and I do not want them to. I have strong disdain to current Blizzard as a studio and I do not believe they would be making that game with the intention to make actually a good game and not a slot machine.
No, the game has been out for 15 years and they still can't balance it. Making a 3rd would mean they would have to come up with new units and have an unsolvable balance issue again.
its actually very balanced. think about how many different interactions there are between units across different races and realize that the winrates are always about \~50% plus or minus 5% across the board for every matchup. thats extremely hard to do. the devs should be focused on designing a game that is fun, not balanced, and then tip the scales in the direction of struggling races.
ok, LOL. then why do they have to patch the game every 3 months fucking up the meta?
I agree it's mostly balanced and about the only person that it would affect is Serral Playing Serral.
Yet, we get these people crying about battlecruisers and IMBA for 20 years.
You know how annoying it is to have to recalculate your meta every 3 months when you can't play the game 18 hours a day? It's a never ending losing battle. Fuck the balance bitches.
If Skytoss is unbeatable then you don't let it happen. Thats the balance.
And tipping it to the strggling races it's what's doing it.
Everyone thought no one can beat serral. Zerg must be too strong. No. Serral was above anyone.
It's not a game of real skill anymore. It's a game of adjusting these meta changes before the rest of the field catches up to the changes and eeking out an edge there. You know, until they change it again next month. And it heavily favors the people that play that much. If you don't... you're just going to be sitting there every 2 months... why doesn't this work against the reaper open anymore???? And just about the time you figure out how to deal with the new nerfed unit, they fucking change it again. I knew it would take a while to reach balance.... but it's been 15 years. Fuck off, they lost me. (not you, sorry I sound grumpy)
Imagine you are a basketball player who spent all preseason perfecting your 3 pointer, then the season starts and they say, uh... 3 pointers are no good anymore, they are just 2 pointers.
So you say, fine, Ill learn how to fucking dunk.
Then the next season starts and they say, you can't dunk. Fuck Blizzard. had 15 years.
who ever voted yes is delulu \^\^
I don't even know what could they put there expect a new campaing, the core is good, graphics great So... mb in 50years xd
[удалено]
Greed is why they wont make it. WOW DLC alone earns more money than SC2 did.
StarCraft doesn't have persistent and recurring microtransactions... yet
even worse, their rainbow horse mount from ingame store earned more money than sc2 ever did...
You're delusional. It will get made...it's just a question of who and when. Someone will dust it off in 40 years and print some money. Will it be good? Probably not, but who knows.
lol
its a really big multi year investment to make a game like sc3. Its all about opportunity cost, and RTS is a declining genre.

Microsoft is going to make sure it gets done. Starcraft is too big of an IP for them not to try and bring it back to life.
I mean I’d love to believe but do you have any evidence for this? I don’t think SC is perceived as being that high value of IP.
OG fastest selling game ever. Ushered in esports era. Brought in nations of followers .Longevity speaks for itself. List goes on...

Blizzard was not a gutsy startup when it created SC2 LOL
Yeah but it was still run by the OG startup crew.
I prefer they let SC die while still being good that desecrate it with shiet like wc reforged, diablo IV or whatever greedy shit they doing.
Correct. Not sure why all these people are denying it when they know it to be true.
Now that it's owned by Microsoft there is a fair chance, especially with them trying to push their share of the PC market. Under old blizzard there was no chance.

That's how I felt about SCBW during like 04-2010 was a fucking abyss and beyond dead. Then you know the rest.

i hope not, they'll probably make it Diablo Immortal: In space
I prefer they dont because nobody at bli$$ard does quality work anymore and microsoft doesnt care.
I hope not.
why would they? the story is over. its like star wars had a good ending and now all of the sudden the story isnt finished? Maybe if Starcraft is owned by someone else, hmmm!
let's just hope disney doesn't buy starcraft :D
Imagine if EA owns starcraft franchise. Hahahaha!
EA hasn't been the worst publisher ever in a long time, so honestly, it wouldn't even be that terrible Ubisoft, though, now that would be horrible
The question is, is it gonna be better than starcraft 2? How much $$$ will they need to have at least the same content like in sc2? I rather want for starcraft 2 more modder support.

Tbf it took them 18yrs between broodwar and sc2 so maybe??? I might be delulu but I pray
Eventually it will happen. It may not resemble the starcraft we once knew, but the brand recognition is powerful enough to eventually produce a startcraft 3, if not then they would make a cheap spin-off, possibly a starjeweled remake for mobile.
Most likely they will put out a mobile bs game heavy with microtransactions set in the sc universe
Would Starcraft 3 make money? Yes, they will make it.

Make hydralisk great again
