I expect it will pop up in a couple of years on the next gen machines.

 

I was pretty suprised Nintendo didnt do the same with Twilight Princess. But Nintendo does seem to show more integrity than most.

I feel a little sad for Blizzard. However it's probably of its decision making to drop games that has ensured that the titles its released are blockbusters.

[Judge Hades]

Ghost was Starcraft in name only. It deserves the axe.

[Diogo Ribeiro]

I would like to express surprise at this announcement but that would be against my prevalent cynicism.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Looks like they were pretty far along with it.

[Atreides]

Spoiler: We all die.

Unlike Warcraft Adventures, i have no interest for this game so i'm not really affected.

 

Indeed, the fact they haven't actually canned it completely bothers me.

[Jumjalum]

It's a smart move by Blizzard that they just don't release games if they aren't AAA standard. They can obviously afford to and it gives them pretty much the best reputation in the business. Still a little sad to see SC:G go down the tubes.

This is disappointing. But not surprising. They've only delayed this game about 150 times already. At least there's a potential we'll see it for next-gen platforms. Or maybe they'll decid to work on Starcraft: 2 instead. *crosses fingers*

My guess is they have been working on an RTS for a while already, but they are keeping a media blackout until they are almost ready for alpha and then beta testing, which will propably take up to two years total.

 

It would be absurd to think they have kept their RTS people at idle since Frozen Throne...

[Dark Moth]

One would hope. Brood War came out in 1998 and ended in a major cliffhanger. It's been almost 10 years since, and no confirmation of a sequal yet.

Smart move one could expect from Blizzard. I think no company has higher standards than them. It's a way to ensure their fanbase keeps trusting them. One lesser game and it's all down the drain.

 

I'm not saying I was looking forward to Ghost, but I was curious at the least. I was expecting it to be some kind of bridge between the RTS games, as I'm almost convinced they're working on StarCraft 2 at the moment. Hope this doesn't delay SC2. On the other hand, delays at Blizzard usually imply good things.

[Bulgarian Jedi]

I just wonder; for how much time have Blizzad worked on this game? I think it is more than 2 years now.

[Darque]

I hate blizzard and will never buy a game from them again until it has Starcraft in the title.

and WoW isn't a "lesser game"?

closer to four... it debuted at the 2002 tokyo game show.

[Judge Hades]

WoW is a MMORPG, right? Its a lesser game by default.

No...

Not even Diablo III?

[Judge Hades]

Diablow sucks.

[kumquatq3]

alot of people are saying this is a "smart move"

 

I call it the bad choice with all the other choices being terrible.

[Hurlshort]

Hehe, people are calling WoW a lesser game...that's funny.

 

It has 5 million subscribers. That's basically the size of Chicago. Blizzard convinced an entire metropolitian city to pay them $15 a month. I'm pretty sure that is a successful business venture.

[Judge Hades]

That doesn't mean its a good game. It just means that there are a lot of stupid people out there.
