Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Starcraft 2 coming for Xbox 360?

I am Korean, but not living in Korea.
I would think that many young people haven't played it.

Starcraft 2 on 360 ?? with cross platform play ???
Them koreans will crap on your base before you build the barracks using the 360 controller.
From a control perspective, Wii would be a much better choice for RTS games.
The 360 and PS3 (without KB+Mouse support) are no match for RTS games.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>

Omac,

A Blizzard rep has stated that they are not making Starcraft 2 for consoles. Furthermore, the rep stated that Blizzard had no plans for console development at this time.

Maybe in a few years, Starcraft 2 will be ported to consoles but not this generation. The PC fanbase of Starcraft is extremely large.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

 

Starcraft II WILL NOT be on Consoles!

It's the biggest RTS out there and PC gamers (including me, although i'm not really a pc-gamer ^^) will be pissed cuzz PC is the best market for the (current state) RTS's. (Voice-command RTS's like EndWar are a different story but that's something else..)

You must be using a different Wiimote than mine (or have god-like hand-to-eye coordination).  There's no way I can get the Wiimote to have the kind of accuracy I can get with a mouse.

 

On the other hand, if Starcraft 2 ever was ported to the Wii and those users found a way after hundreds of hours to get really good at the controls, I wouldn't want to have to play against them online... they would be unstoppable...

I can't imagine Blizzard execs saying, "Starcraft 2 is doing well on the PC, so we better not port it to consoles or the PC users will get upset."

 

Why would the PC users care as long as they could play it on the PC?

Why would PS3 owners care if MGS4 came to X360 a year later if they can still play it on the PS3?...

 

It just stings, ok?

Lol, I would NEVER buy this for my 360...wth, why would anyone want to play an RTS on a console if they have a pc that can play it? CONTROLS work so much better on a pc. FACT.



Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.

Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)

 ya reps are always truthful. 



I don't see the survey questions as really implying that SC2 is coming to the 360.

However, last year's 360 RTS's (BFME2 & C&C3) were quite good and did rather well.

There are quite a few RTS's coming to the 360 this year, if they do well then perhaps the SC series will eventually make the jump.

Remember, once upon a time the idea of playing a FPS on a console was considered crazy as compared to the PC mouse/keyboard experience. I'd say that barrier is broken.

Will 2008 prove to be the year that people start to believe you can have a quality RTS experience on a console?



My 360 can blog!

Gamers have 3 choices this generation: The Exercise Machine, the Movie Machine, or the Game Machine.  What kind of gamer are you?
