August 7, 200520 yr Yay! Some news! I'm still looking for a release date. I've been waiting for that %@ game to come out for years. I'm a big Starcraft fan.
August 7, 200520 yr Good for him. I'm hope he is happy there working on that game... and that he doesn't slow things down by over doing it like he did in IWD2.
August 7, 200520 yr 1) Who? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dave Maldonado, StarCraft: Ghost Senior Game Designer :D 2) Will this game ever get finished? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends what you infer from "finished" ... " OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
August 7, 200520 yr 1) Who? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dave use to work for Black Isle and did some work for Obsidian. There was also a brief job in there but I think continueing it meant moving to Germany.
August 7, 200520 yr Why no PC version? I still can't fathom the reasoning behind that move. Starcraft is a PC game, so why do I have to go out and buy a console to find out where the story goes? I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
August 7, 200520 yr Holy cow, so untrue, Darque. Consoles aren't better gaming machines. I enjoy my xbox, don't get me wrong. I've been impressed by the Game Cubes and PS2s I've played. ...But my computer has better games.

August 7, 200520 yr Dave Maldonado was also lead designer of TORN. Fantasy game based on their own fantasy world using modified special rule set and lithtech engine. I had so high hopes for that game... *sigh* This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

August 7, 200520 yr until i'm holding the finished product in my hands, i'm not getting my hopes up <_< didn't they start this back in 2002 or something? when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
August 7, 200520 yr I think it may have been as early as 2000 shryke. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

August 7, 200520 yr Blizzard runs on their own timeline, and I can't think of any "bad" products they've released. Even if your not a fan of the genre they tackle, their games tend to be pretty far above the rest. After saying that, I have to say, I haven't been impressed by the looks of Ghost. I own an Xbox, but I usually only play sports games own it. I would rather see this on my PC, but if the reviews are good I might grab it. Consoles are easier to design games for, but the PC is still the king of gaming. The PC market is in a constant stage of technological improvement. When a console is released, technology stands still.
August 7, 200520 yr Well, there's a chance I'll pick up the title. I tend to like BG:DA style games, golf games, and role playing games like KotOR1/2 and Jade Empire for the console. I haven't tried a game like Ghost for the xbox yet, so I don't know what to expect. Still, a good game is going to be... well... good, regardless of platform. Holy consoles, Batman!

August 7, 200520 yr Nihilistic started on this game, while Blizzard was just going to produce. Then Nihilistic got fired, and this game has been in production hell for some time. The people who have seen the demos say the game has gotten progressively worse with each iteration, and that despite the name, the game will feature no Stealth and is really a generic FPS game crudely set in the Starcraft universe. Still interested? http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php?date=2004-06-23&res=l
August 7, 200520 yr $10 says it will never see the light of the day. Just like WarCraft Adventures. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
August 7, 200520 yr An adventure game set on(obviously) Azeroth. You were going to take the role of Thrall in your quest to unite the clans. It was made in the style of good ol'adventure Lucas/Sierra games. Pre-drawn backrounds and animated comic characters. Looked wonderful, but Blizzard killed the project(or was it Vivendi Universal?). kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
