Starcraft Ghost:PC or not PC, that is the question!

[aphremen]

To suffer the slings and arrows blah blah blah.

I played Splinter cell for X-box. Then I played it for PC. Wow. Much better for PC! Playing Splinter Cell for x-box was like having a splinter in every cell of my body compared to the bliss that is SC at a much higher res with AAx2, not to mention mouse aiming.

S:G won't be for PC, instead it will be for consoles only, now many of you will say "MGS2 is only on consoles, but it's good!" No, it's not, it sucks donkey balls. It's a scientific fact. Really though, the plot was rediculous...but that has nothing to do with the fact it's a console game...at any rate, no matter how good Starcraft:Ghost will be, it won't look as good, and won't load as fast as it would on PC (at least mine by that time). By the time it comes out, I'll probably have a faster video card and by next week I'll have a gig of ddr pc2700 ram. My gamecube, ps2, and x-box will likely have the exact same specs. It will look like utter crap on PS2, and still take a while to load levels on x-box and gamecube. the multiplayer will be pretty good though, as long as they force everyone to use broadband.

Let the console gamers have a taste of the starcraft universe. I want StarCraft 2!

[aphremen]

Ah, i should have been more clear. I think they should spread the love to all peoples. people with just an x-box and a tv should be able to play it, but ppl with hella fast machines should be able to enjoy it to the fullest extent.

Emmm.... Let's see....

Console players on StarCraft: Ghost...

"Emm.... MGS in a futururistc setting..."

"Why do those soldiers wear such a think armor?"

"Are those alien supposed to act like bugs...? And why did that big one vomit green stuff?"

"Hey, are those yellow spiders human or alien? Or are they from the bug side?"

"What does StarCraft mean? Is that the race I am?"

"Well, so what is the big deal about this game?"

Now, a PC Gamer who loves StarCraft:

"Hahaha! Ghost can cloak, dumbass! Emmm.. 'I'm gone!' "

"Fuck that Zergling right there! Huh, who wants some more? You, over there, you want some?"

"Shit! Three Dragoons! These Protoss are crazy!"

"OMFG! That's a Zealot! Look at that pair of Psi Blades! Holy shit!"

"Time to call the nuclear strike! Emmm... 'Nuclear Launch Detected...' "

"Run! A big ass Ultralisk!"


So, which one appears to have more fun? Which one really deserves this game? The answer should be obvious...

I hate them for this:mad: :mad:

[ReDeeMeR]

Well sure I would love anything Starcraft/Warcraft with Blizzard quality, but I wouldnt like to see a dumbass port like usualy(MGS), that would ruin everything for us PC hardcore-gamers.

I personaly think it's going to suck bad because it's concole-optimized, it's going to be slow(gamepad aiming), with small ass levels, no textures on anything, shitty lightning.

Do you want this poo???

I say fuck it. Lets see how much money they make with it
in console market huhuhuhuh

[ReDeeMeR]

Look at the ugly dragoons, they look like friggin toys...

THis game is made for them little horny teenies no doubt...
= cheezy shit game... (ala tomb rider).

SC was better on XBOX because you really get in the mood with that size tv, and you don't need a super computer to play it. But i would still like to see Ghost on PC.

[future man]

You dont need a super PC, it runs fine on my box with all the details and in high res, and my monitor is bigger than my TV.

[fatBastard();]

Comparing a possible PC version of StarCraft:Ghost with Splinter Cell is not really valid because SC was NOT a port of an Xbox game. Yes, it did come out for the Xbox first, but it was always meant to be a multiplatform game, so even though it was optimized for the Xbox (excessive use of 2D textures to represent 3D surfaces, like leaves and branches on trees, the railings on balconies, etc) it was designed to be playable on both consoles and the PC (not only in terms of gameplay but also the way it was coded).

Starcraf:Ghost, on the other hand, is made SOLELY for console. Everything from gameplay elements, including control schemes and interfaces, to programming issues are being targeted towards consoles with their limitations, typical audiences and preferences. In other words, it is extremely likely that SG is going to be to Starcraft what "Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance" for consoles was to the PC's Baldur's Gate games ... something completely different and utterly pointless (to me at least).

99.9% of the games designed from the very beginning to be console exclusive games, can stay on the consoles for all I care. Only those 0.1% (like MGS) of consoles games are, in my oppinion, worth playing at all and if SG is indeed one of those 0.1% then I agree that it would be great if it was ported ... otherwise I say: "Keep it, and give us StarCraft2 instead"

Not jsut those Dragoons, but the Haydralisks look not as good as it could be. We all have seen these things in the cut-scenes of StarCraft, and we all expected that kind of quality... but that is too high_poly for a console game...

Well my monitor is 19' it's really enough and better(in terms of image quality) then any HDTV I've seen and I only have surround sound on my PC.

... double post.

Childish.... exactly!!! Look at most of the console gamers; most of them are kids! Blizzard make this game into a game for kids! I bet there won't even be any blood in the game. Have you guys seen any blood in any of its screenshots yet? Look at all the blood we got in Starcraft and now look at the Ghost... what a shame...

[RADiator]

Even if it will come out for the pc Im not gonna buy this one. Still hate them for not making Starcraft2 though. Just think all those anticipations and all we ended up with is this console action FUCKING shooter... DAMNIT!!

[Yian]

It is not a shooter it is more like MGS.

[RADiator]

What ever it is FUCK IT i say;)

HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT THAT WAY! You are right, they'll probably take out all the blood as well. The target audience will be all like "Uhhh...Bevis...she has boobs...." "uh huh huh, uh huh huh...YEAH YEAH!!". I wonder what all the in house beta testers are telling them "Ok, now we fixed that texture not popping up but it's still hard to aim....Oh, what's that you say, it's a console game, it's supposed to be impossible to aim properly? OIC."

[ReDeeMeR]

Yeah, it will also be:

A: Everyone will move sloooowly and I mean slowly in a retarded way(Ie. slow zerglings wtf?)

B: You will have enormouse amount of armor+health, ie all the shit hitting you all the time, but you're merly feeling it... ughh

C: MGS way, you will have to hide all the time and if they see you, yer dead...

Sounds like fun huh? :p

[aphremen]

I would like to see a game where PC ppl could play with console ppl. Imagine, PC ppl running around crazy circle strafing and still doing headshots and console ppl aiming like they are afk. :D

[Odm]

Not all console games are 12-year old whiny little boys who suck at games, you know.

[Yian]

Yeah, and when ever there are some exceptions, Some congressmen start to bitch. You know, if my country's senate bitches about video games ALL THE TIME, I wouldn't blame Anakin Skywalker for overthrowing his.

Meh, this thing is gonna get ported to PC in one form or another. I think Blizz is just trying to squeeze some cash out of the console companies.

Certainly not! but attempting to swing around/find some cover/basically defend yourself from someone who just popped behind you in a console fps is much harder on a console than on a pc with a mouse. I play SOCOM a lot but it still isn't as easy to control as a PC fps (although it is a good game...just needs a patch to fix the exploits)

[Odm]

Not neccesarily. I think Goldeneye handled the strafing aspect quite well. Although crouching WAS hard... My brother and I used to circle each other flinging throwing knives at each other :D
