Screenshots!!!!!!!!

damn.. all the SC units in full 3D glory...

Today at the Tokyo Game Show Blizzard Entertainment announced its newest product under development, StarCraft: Ghost. In this 3D tactical-action console game set in the legendary StarCraft universe, players will take the role of Nova, a lethal Ghost operative trained in the arts of espionage and tactical combat.

As a Terran Ghost, Nova will employ an amazing array of physical and psionic abilities. Nova will also have access to a host of hi-tech weapons and vehicles, some of which will be familiar to players of StarCraft and Brood War.

Check out the official announcement in our latest press release. You can also see more of Nova, her adversaries, and some of the interactive 3D environments that she'll be infiltrating at our new StarCraft: Ghost Web site.

The exact platforms that Starcraft Ghost supports are not yet decided, but it definitely won't be developed for PC or Mac.
Starcraft: Ghost is a third person shooter, and will form an integral part of the Starcraft Storyline.
You play as a Ghost named Nova.
You will gain control of all the abilities a Ghost has in Starcraft, as well as plenty of new ones.
Nova will be able to read minds of enemies, see through walls, scale fences, and have superior reflexes. There will be something similar to Bullet Time in Max Payne.
There will be Vehicles to drive, so far, Blizzard confirms that the Vulture and the Wraith are in.
Nearly all the units in Starcraft will make a return, and feature their abilities, such as burrowing Lurkers and whatever else.
Unlike Thief, players will feel like they're in a massive battle, and will be able to call down Yomato and Nuclear strikes, as well as reinforcements.
Blizzard has not yet decided whether Starcraft: Ghost will support online gaming.
The Game is planned for a late 2003 launch.

You've posted the same thing in other SC:Ghost threads. We know how you feel. Enough thread crapping.

Calling Blizzard fans losers is a bit off don't you think? To each his/her own. If you don't like it, fine, but don't judge others or call them names just because they happen to be excited about something you don't happen to like.

Just my 2 pennies. ;)

I have not. This is the first one I've seen.

I don't think it's off one bit. Blizzard has produced pure drivel since Warcraft 2 and Diablo. Not one stimulating advance since. Just completely unappetizing rehashes that have taken years to produce.

Sorry, I got confused with this quote
Yeah, if I really gave a rat's ass...

from the Love Canal thread.

You've made your opinion clear, but is it really right to judge others because of a difference in opinion?

I was thinking a FPS in Starcraft would be great. But this isn't what I had in mind. I was thinking more like BF1942 where you could be Zerg, Protoss, or Terran and command different vehicles, or after some combat evolve into a more powerful unit in the case of the zerg and protoss. I most likely won't buy it, if it not developed for a PC.

I don't think it's like a FPS per se. I'm kind of reading everything like it's gonna be a sort of Metal Gear Starcraft.

Still, blizzard makes killer games, and it looks cool nonetheless. Here's hoping it comes out on ps2 :)

wrong and wrong.. you're just spouting opinions.. none of which are backed by reviews or anything.. sure you're allowed your opinions, but don't thread crap.. that just makes you look stupid and we all know amish isn't stupid

Oh gawd! C&C was even worse than this Blizzard crap.

That's my point. This game is probably going to be a lot like C&C Renegade. What's up with these RTS devs making an about face and pushing out action crap for a quick buck? I want another RTS Starcraft, not this BS Ghost crap. I have an Xbox, but I will not bother playing this game. Extremely dissapointing...
