Blizzard brengt dit jaar Starcraft Ghost uit. Het moet een kruising zijn tussen Halo en Metroid Prime,.... ik hoor ook wel Halo en Splinter Cell maar hoe dan ook. Het belooft cool te worden.

IMO was het gaafste deel van Renegade het feit dat je door de C&C wereld heen liep, en de dingen ook als zodanig kon herkennen... voor de rest vondt ik het zwaar tegen vallen en overhyped.
Wellicht doen de mensen bij Blizzard beter hun best (zo als we van Blizzard gewend zijn) en wordt dit wel een goed spel. De screenshots beloven een hoop...

While it hasn't been technically delayed, StarCraft: Ghost, in the words of the developers at Blizzard, has had its development schedule extended "through the end of 2003." What this means to anxious PS2, Xbox and GameCube owners is Ghost has been pushed back into 2004 with the rest of the high profile games exhibited at E3 just last week.

Maar Blizzard staat er wel bekend om pas een game the shippen als ze 110% tevreden zijn. Dit wordt een topper.

What differences will there be between the three console versions? Can you also let us know the tech specs?
John: For Xbox, [we have] real-time Dolby Digital; 480p, widescreen, and 720p likely (pending approval). For GameCube [we have] Dolby Surround, 480p and widescreen. And for PlayStation 2 [we have] Dolby and 480p support.
There are no significant content differences between the three consoles, though some items might appear slightly different between versions.

IGN: How many people are on the development team and how is the team divided between the consoles?
John: If you consider everyone who's doing something on the game, then we have over 70 people working on Ghost overall. A majority of us are working on the Xbox version, which Ghost is being developed on. The game is then being adjusted to run on the GameCube and PlayStation 2, which require fewer resources.

The first time I saw Ghost - this would have been a couple years ago, now - it was one of the most impressive things available on the floor. They took a unit from Starcraft, made a character out of it, and let you experience the galactic conflict of that setting as an individual: dwarfed not only by hulking war technology, but also by the scope and scale of imperial political machinations. At that time, they were really playing up the stealth/platform angle - and that makes sense. Ghosts are, as one might infer, covert operatives.
What we saw at this year's E3 seemed almost unrelated to the game that had so drawn me in initially. Both the guy demonstrating it (and indeed, the game itself) actively distanced what it was doing from that earlier, stealth based iteration. The graphics seemed to have taken a turn for the worse. It didn't make sense. By now, you've heard what I heard - that Nihilistic is no longer working on the title.
I've never exactly understood what that relationship consisted of, exactly - the Nihilistic/Blizzard thing. Initially, we suggested that Blizzard brought them on to help them count all the money. So, I don't know enough to say whether them being out is a good or a bad thing. I find the announcement of that fact to be an oddly worded exercise in loose language, but that's neither here nor there. That Blizzard had a good thing, and then diluted it with a heavier focus on action that didn't feel right and didn't fit the setting - that's really all I care about. In this June 18th press release, Blizzard submits that it will be using the time between now and release to "expand and evolve" the game's design - although whether that means they're going back to a more authentic Ghost experience or hurtling farther forward into overt violence I couldn't tell you.
Stealth games are sort of epitomized by Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell, to be sure - hojillion dollar budgets and taut universes dense with political peril. Playing Thief recently made me realize just how much wider and more enjoyable that field could be if it could, in the manner of a healthy genre, entertain more geographically and chronologically disparate locales. If Blizzard thinks they've got a good thing going with this new motif, fine - perhaps what I saw was some half-dressed transition state. I just think there's room for them at the upper echelons of tactical stealth, with their delicious art and their tattered star systems. Of course, they should know that too - they're the ones that made me believe it.

Posted Mar 25th 2006 6:00AM by Conrad Quilty-Harper
In a press release which you can view after the jump, Blizzard has stated that it has indefinitely postponed production on StarCraft: Ghost while it evaluates "opportunities for utilizing the additional power of the new and upcoming console systems." In other words Blizzard wasn't happy with Ghost being released for current-gen consoles just as they were about to be replaced by bigger and better next-generation machines.
Recently Ghost made number 5 on Wired's list of top ten vaporware products (alongside such vaporware legends as Duke Nukem' Forever and the Phantom game console) so it's good to hear any news about Ghost, even if the news is that it'll be delayed even further.
Blizzard Entertainment(R) Focuses Console-Development Plans on Next-Gen Platforms IRVINE, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) March 24, 2006
Blizzard Entertainment Inc. today announced plans to focus the company's console-development efforts on the next generation of console platforms. As part of this shift in focus, Blizzard(R) will indefinitely postpone production on StarCraft: Ghost(TM) while evaluating opportunities for utilizing the additional power of the new and upcoming console systems.
"Like many in the industry, we've been impressed with the potential of the new consoles, and we're looking forward to exploring that potential further," stated Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "In addition to allowing us to determine the best course for StarCraft: Ghost, this review period will help us lay the groundwork for our future console games."
In the months ahead, Blizzard will further evaluate the next-gen console technology and determine the best plan of action for offering a StarCraft(R) console-gaming experience that meets the company's expectations and those of its players. Further specifics on plans for StarCraft: Ghost and Blizzard's future console games, as well as platform and release information, will be revealed at a later date
, 
.
Anyway, ik ben benieuwd wat blizzard ervan weet te maken op de next-gen consoles. Wachten doen we nu toch al jaren, dus nog langer wachten maakt dan ook niet meer uit. Het is alleen meestal wel zo dat hoe langer je wacht, des te hoger je verwachtingen worden... Dus dit kan maar beter een überspel worden, Blizzard!
