Forums - Gaming - Who wants Starcraft 2 on console?

NintendoMan on 20 March 2008

I think this is one of those games that should remain on PC.

Seeing that the first one came to the N64 to , I dont see why this wouldent come to a console ( or in this case 2 ) . It will probably arrive , but IMO way afther the PC version will be released ...

 Console games may be easier to pirate, unless you are talking about PS3.  Steam PC games are pretty secure.

Whats the point? Everyone has a PC right? Why not just get it for PC and have free online and a non-suckage RTS experience in general.

AND

Microsoft to reach the PC crowd that want to play to Starcraft2/Diablo4 (and believe me, they are many) and get the ultimate PC game on their console.
"Dont upgrade ur PC, get a Xbox360".

a brand new PC with Vista and the latest graphics card would cost a lot more than an XBox 360 Elite model.


a PC of 400$ should be enough to run Starcraft 2 on very decent settings.

Console games are not more profitable. PC games don't have to pay fees, are easier to program than on consoles, and developers get a bit more money from each copy sold.

Besides, we're talking about an RTS, and an RTS console version has never outsold the PC version. The best console effort was C&C3, and even then on PC it sold like 3 times more. 

Piracy is irrelevant to Blizzard. Battle.net is completely secure against pirates, and the best pirates can do is just play singleplayer, which is like only 1 tenth of the full experience.

If any console, the Wii, with keyboard support of course.

Not into RTS much, but if I'm going to get one, I want it on PC.

If they must bring it to consoles, then Wii because the wiimote substitutes for a mouse much better than analog stick.

Really?  Hmmm... Nope both still attached despite a lot of Endless Ocean, so I'd have to disagree.

Why on earth would you want a top of the line video card for a Blizzard game? They program it to run at max settings on your toaster. You can very easily pick up a computer that will play Starcraft 2. I would bet real money that any PC built in the last 5 years will be able to run the game well.
