Hmmm, I'm confused now after reading that...
Up until now all the preview's for Ghost that I've seen show some kind of one player "Splinter Cell in the future" type game. From what I read here this sounds more like Battlefront :/ So, is it a multiplayer only strategy type game? A multiplayer action game? Is there also a single player game, but you just played the multiplayer portion? Blizzard has never been involved in a game that I haven't liked, so I'd love to know what the actual game model is now........ |

This actually sounds alright!
Presumably the multiplayer is online only? I also heard that they were canning the GameCube version. I hope this isn't true......... Edit: Damn, I just read the news confirming that they are indeed canning the cube version! Oh well.

Your entire article doesn't talk about release date!
This one has been locked in development hell for sooooo long. Right now they're probably locked in meetings to see if there's any way of upgrading their presumably vast investment in graphics to be suitable for next-gen consoles... |

Jonnyreb: Single Player is a Splinter-Celly thing, though it seems with a more action bent. The multiplayer, however, is like... well, like this.

"What happened to the Protoss, anyway?"
Something a journo said about another interview was that a developer said that they'd be a third side in the multiplayer, The Protoss. Which, was such a major announcement which I didn't hear from anyone else, I presume had to be a fancy lie... or a major slip on the developer's part. (The latter with Blizzard is fairly unlikely. They play their hands close to the chest) Either way, since I don't have access to the tape, I didn't feel comfortable even reporting it as rumour. I mention here because... well, you asked. KG |

They had SC:Ghost mutiplayer running at E3 with 4v4 games - was pretty good, I think it was just terran vs. terran. The whole mutiplayer thing is 100% pitched at live and from what i saw, it really does kick the crap out of Halo online.
Then again, as stated, it probably does need a ton of polish to complete. |

Did anyone else see the frankly bizarre preview of this in OPS2M this month?
It was barking. A sarcastically reported double-page interview with the head of Blizzard, plus a load of jokes about how the game was obviously going to be s*it. One of the strangest things I've seen in any magazine for ages! I can't believe that Blizzard approved it! |

"They also mention that the Protoss will be part of multiplayer on 1up.com."
I met the reporter from 1Up there, and they weren't the one who passed me the rumour. So if they were in the Q&A session where that was supposedly said, it may lend weight to the rumour. Wouldn't surprise me. They're really trying to get a "Starcraft, ground level" feel to the multiplayer, so it would fit right in. Re: OPM2 preview. It's very rare that there's any form of copy approval in a magazine. KG |

This game will never be released. Ever. Its like Duke Nukem Forever but with the potential that it may be quite good.

DNF may be quite good too, just try to follow the 3D Realms forum now and then.
Ghost sounds promising (great CGI-trailer too) but a PC-port is the least they could have done to please the majority of the real Starcraft-fans (after all, the story still takes place after Brood War). Seeing that model of Mengsk on the site, it almost convinces me to buy a console anyway though. |

Once this game finally gets released, I'll gladly be purchasing my Xbox copy. Although I must say I liked the game's old style (Pre-developer change) better.

It's the intro sequence verry awsome. They also got the Broodwar intro up there, was also shown at Blizzcon. Gametrailers seem to think it's related to Ghost though for some reason.

Just commenting on the cube version cancellation. It seems to me that single player could be the weakest aspect of the game. It was canned due to the lack of a good online service. This makes it look as if the multiplayer is the focus of the game, as they weren't prepared to release an incomplete and inferior product. So anyone interested in this without a BB account, you could well be striking it off your list.
Wouldn't surprise me |
