No Ashley

Posted on May 21, 2007 by briosafreak

From Ashley Cheng Twitter comes this:

starcraft 2 looks great, wish blizzard deviated more, try ground control/battlezone first person gameplay. more thoughts on blog later.

I couldn’t disagree more. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. That way we can have the good old Starcraft gameplay in a new suit, with more bells and whistles but with all the things the fans loved about it intact. Instead go get the Battlezone franchise and make a new one, it’s a worthy series that could win with DX10 Shader 4.0 graphics and minimal changes in gameplay…

He added more thoughts about this on his blog, I still disagree with him though.

    Ouch. Let’s hope that’s not a representative opinion. Starcraft as a first person game is almost as bad an idea as Fallout in first person. I hate innovation for the sake of innovation

    Good catch. I can’t wait to see how Mr. Cheng explains this in his blog.

    ugh, isn’t this the exact thing we’ve been dreading? new hands on an old franchise seeking to change the direction and redefine themes/universes/fundamentals? Fallout Tactics was a bad enough sign of this (Vault 0, futuristic robots, antlers), and all of that was with some sort of restraint/oversight from ChrisT.

    Scope the Nuka Cola ad.

    Ahah! I will love to see Bethesda sink very deep when they “deviate” with Fallout 3, making a game like every other game out there… Ahah!

    I won’t, I really like the games :(

    And the add can be about Nuka Cola, or Nuke soda from Deus Ex.Or both…

    Just got this on Meebo:
    “[22:30] meeboguest230638: Brother None: “Let’s hope that’s not a representative opinion.” — that’s really stupid, why would one person’s opinion represent everyone else’s”

    Not stupid at all, he’s not making it a fact acompli, but hoping it isn’t. And since we don’t know much about that other game they are working it’s normal to be a bit afraid.

    I’m not going to make a habit of replying to anonymous messages, by the way.
