Why haven't they made an updated version of StarCraft?

I reinstalled this today and was fucking around and godamn that game was great.

I can't think of any game in which I spent more cumulative time.

You think Blizzard would get off their asses and reinvent this game with modern technology.

Speaking of RTS's... are there any modern ones that are fun to play or has that genre pretty much died?

genre is pretty much dead imho, it just reguritates the same thing over and over with different graphics

i've got my eye on supreme commander, and star wars empire at war.

Warcraft 3 is mildly entertaining...

C&C: Generals wasn't too bad.

Did I hear somewhere they were gonna make SC and Diablo for the DS or something? Portable and online.

Captain Insano · Post by **Captain Insano** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 11:58 am

I would buy the DS just to play that one game in that case. It's to bad the genre died... That game was the shiznit to play online with a couple of friends.

Diablo 2 1.11 Patch Released [02:54 pm]

Blizzard has announced that the Diablo 2 1.11 patch is now available, only a few days after the initial announcement. At FileShack you can download the patch for the original game and the Lord of Destruction expansion pack. Read about changes at Battle.net.

* A new Mystery has been revealed! Players of Hell Difficulty Realm games are hereby warned once again, that a series of new and challenging tests await you! The answer lies within Diablo's Bosses, which span across the world from the Den of Evil to the Throne of Destruction...

* New Items Added 10 New Runewords.
* Added new Unique Items that will drop from Special Bosses.

* Hireling Enhancements Players can purchase hirelings that are within 1-5 levels below their own level.
* The rate at which hirelings gain experience has been increased. They should now stay closer to the player's level.

In other Blizzard news the company has announced it is closing Blizzard North, moving most of its employees there to the Irvine headquarters. The (former) North team is working on an unannounced project.

Possible SC2 in the works?

wasnt there also supposed to be a second SC that had you as first person shooter or something?

Yeah Starcraft:Ghost, still in production.

And that Star Wars RTS looks sweet.

Captain Insano · Post by **Captain Insano** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:02 pm

Yah I have never played Warhammer...On a side note I was disappointed when they cancelled that MMOG's production. It looked pretty sweet.

The Warhammer RTS looks decent, but that Star Wars RTS looks amazing... I would like to see something like that done with StarCraft.

I really am surprised they haven't continued that saga.... Everyone around the world who played PC games played the original. You think it would be a no brainer to create a 2nd.

When is the Star Wars RTS due out?

Ciladan · Post by **Ciladan** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 12:06 am

I still get a kick out of Total Annihilation now and then.

nibbon · Post by **nibbon** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 9:26 am

total war ftw.
fun to control whole armies instead of single units now and then

Post by **Tossica** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 10:28 am

Command and Conquer was the pinnacle of that genre. After that, it was just more of the same crap over and over again. Starcraft, Age of Empires, Warcraft were all just ripoffs of Westwood's games, Dune 2 : The Battle for Arakis being the first. Never could get in to Starcraft but I thought Age of Empires was pretty fun. Warcraft was always :dung:

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 10:41 am

Rome: Total War

ROCKS

Can't believe I forgot it....

P.S. C&C is for noobs, that shit is so generically gay.

Post by **Tossica** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 11:21 am

You were 10 years old when C&C came out.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 11:38 am

NO SHIT?!

Post by **Tossica** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 11:42 am

That's like saying, Doom was for noobs! That shit was so generically gay!

Oh, I get it, you were taking a swipe at me and my comments on your shit taste in music. yuk yuk.

Gungan · Post by **Gungan** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 12:33 pm

I just finished up Empire Earth, was pretty good.

Langston · Post by **Langston** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 4:44 pm

LOL - that's like saying Civilization is generically gay just because it's old. Civilization didn't win the awards by being generically gay - and neither did C&C.

Go play GTA some more, Lumpy... you obviously have no idea what a real game is nor what trendsetting means.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 5:29 pm

Civilization didn't suck...

C&C was barely entertaining when I was 10, too easy and as I said, lame storyline.

I don't play GTA...never cared for it much.

Susvain · Post by **Susvain** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 6:17 pm

I play GTA from time to time ^_^

Captain Insano · Post by **Captain Insano** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:59 pm

I really like the whole premise of GTA. I want more games that piss off whiny PC beotches.

Anyone know when that Star Wars RTS debuts?

KaiineTN · Post by **KaiineTN** » Sun Aug 14, 2005 1:49 am

A new Dungeon Keeper game would kick a new StarCraft game's ass, too bad Bullfrog is gone..

EA bought it or something didn't they?
