It's funny, the only RTS game I play IS StarCraft. Still, these all look like they have their own appeal. They're not trying to take away from StarCraft, and they provide a great alternative.

Wow, that comment sounded really ignorant. The entire RTS genre does not revolve around StarCraft. Try testing the waters outside of your Blizzard safety net and play something fresh and original. Who knows, maybe you'll actually like it.

I always find it funny when Blizzard fanboys only play Blizzard games. They are missing out on so much more from gaming, particularly in the case of StarCraft 2 which is almost identical to its predecessor. It offers nothing new, no innovation, it's the same old crap in a shiny new coat of paint and everyone is eating it up. I will never understand it.

Warhammer 40k is a great alternative.

love me some red alert 2....but now that sc2 is out...dont think i will be loading that game up for a while :)

I was torn between including Red Alert 2 and Empire at War. Red Alert 2 is easily the better game, But Empire At War is easily the best Star Wars RTS, and I just love it. Definite special mention to Red Alert 2 though. Especially the music. And Tanya.

Was aware the iconic Starcaft IP was jumping to South Korea ....

Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.

Sonyslave3428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.

goken428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Profchaos428d ago

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build
