Great Idea For Starcraft2

[concreteasflesh]

Ok so heres my idea. If you remember back to Valve's Half Life 2, when it came out it included Half Life: Source, the original Half Life using the Source engine. I think it would be cool if Starcraft 2 would do that, by making the original Starcraft and Brood War on the new engine, so even if some old units wouldnt appear in the new game they could be played in the old converted campaigns. Ill post some more Ideas I have when Im not so busy at work. Pee Ace Out

Classic mode would be lovely.

[[LightMare]]

i don't think that would work

[concreteasflesh]

I think it could, the only thing it would take is more time. To make the units into 3D models, but other wise the units are there, the balance has been worked out, the campaigns are there, They could use the old AI or apply the new one. they would just need to scripture it into the new engine and VIOLA a classic is brought up to date. . .Im just saying they could either fully revamp the game with the new technology and mechanics or just pump Starcraft into the new engine to make it 3D. . .

As hard as it would be to do, i like it. :) :powerup:

*cough* *cough*
I'm pretty sure Project Revolution team will be doing this. We were discussing it.

If Blizzard gets it done and puts it in I most certainly would not be turned off.

[PowerkickasS]

i think someone's pissed that a guy with 3 posts has more powerups than himself...hehe

[paragon]

Well we won't be wasting these perfectly perfect models of original SC stuff.

[FlyingTiger]

yea i hope project revolution would use the sc2 engine instead of the wc3 engine though

[ImaGiNe.]

That would be a nice addition, though we can only dream of it because I doubt Blizzard would go out of its way and devote resources into the development of a more complex 3D game of StarCraft/Brood War. But who knows, Blizzard has its way of surprising people and since it has not set a real release date of SC2, it can become a reality.

I SAY WE PETITION BLIZZARD ASAP!

We might be doing that actually. As I said, there has been some discussion about it.

Whats the idea then? Starcraft 1 units in Starcraft 2 graphics?

[paragon]

No. StarCraft 1 units that look like StarCraft 1 units in StarCraft 2 engine

Yeah, thats what I ment.

[paragon]

Kinda like this:

[coalescence]

I know. I'm curious if it would give the same gameplay as in sc1.

[paragon]

as close as possible.

[coalescence]

Good enough for me.

[paragon]

Shouldn't be too hard. A lot easier that WC3 at least because most/all of the mechanics that were in SC are still in SC2.

[ENTAROGUNTER]

That would be quite awesome if they redid all the old units in 3D for SC2, it'd certainly add alot more options for unit types in custom maps.

They would also need to redo all of the old attacks and abilities as well of course.

[coalescence]

Would be nice if it was an offically supported mod.

[Itsmyship]

Most definitely would be a good 10 yr anniversary gift :good:

[Remy]

No, if it means I have to wait longer for SC2 release.

Otherwise, oh hell yes.

[PowerkickasS]

yummehhh

[Lemmy]

Thats some fuking good idea man. Maybe if blizzard doesnt do it themselves, some users will. The new editor seems to be quite powerful, as far as blizzard has said.

[Dreadnought]

This is a cool idea and some people would like it as a mode u can select in multiplayer.
Im going to miss the vulture :( (i know it isnt confirmed that its gone but i bet they will replace it.)

[for-glory]

Would it be 3d or 2d? I think someone may have answered this

[concreteasflesh]

3D fo sho niggy

so Artanis can say: "I swear we didnt know its Warcraft 3 in space!" - "But it is 3D!"

[GuiMontag]

you will definately be able to play classic maps when the game is released because blizzard has already said that the first thing they did after building the engine was plop all the units from sc1 in, then they started tweaking units and taking them out.

[capthavic]

Maybe in the future but even with pre-made story, maps, and basic models it would still take a long time to convert eveything over to the new engine.
