I don't know if it's big around here, but Blizzard just announced it's new game. For any who don't know, Blizzard is the maker of Diablo, Diablo II, Warcraft, and Starcraft, among other things. Starcraft: Ghost is going to be a Metal Gear Solid-ish game and is planned for multiple consoles (I so hope GameCube is one). No release for PC though. Just thought I'd give out the news in case anyone was wondering but couldn't get any info. Looks pretty awesome so far.

For more info, you could check out:

HMm, I heard they wear making another SC, but I didnt know it was going to be like that. I assumed it was going to be a third installment of the PC games.

Damn bast*rds! There was a time when all you need is a good PC to play majority of the fun games...nowadays, game developers are expecting you to have a PC (with up-to-date specs), PS2, XBOX, bla bla bla... This sucks!

Rimjaw, that was a PnP RPG game (disappointed)... I was hoping for a new PC installment.

Thank you very much Blizzard, another company that won´t see my money on the desk for your next games.

You take the decision to fubb over consumers that has loved and played and made the games what they are and then shoot them in the foot. I hope you load the same gun with sracp metal and blo your own off with this title.

Quite frankly, Halo and other game makers get away with it because the PC gamers buy the games. Halo and the next Blizzard games won´t be installed on my puter, not much but then again, gives me an oppurtunity to get outside and see the last autumn and winter sun a bit more I guess.

Rimjaw hehe, I have to say that I agree with your comment!

I guess we have to wait for ID software to go haywire as well and the complete scenario is done. (So far ID software is my favourite company because they develope for more or less console and PC´s and Mac).

Unfortunately the consoles are the "hot market" right now. *sigh*

I hope there will be tons of mods to this game.. oh sorry console??
Take a dip in the yellow snow Blizzard..

These stupid be-damned commanies... always getting their name made with pc games, then screwing the very players that made their games successful by going over to the consoles! **** that ****, **** blizzard... I personally hope it LOSES millions, and comes crying back to the pc-gamers... *mutters darkly* The PC is as good as ANY console, better infact, becuase pc's can upgrade... consoles cant, well, not really... besides, fps's are better with a mouse and keyboard...
