Starcraft 2 editor...Holy fuck it's awesome.

So basically Blizzard are wasting their time turning Starcraft 2 into an FPS/RPGMaker instead of making a decent RTS?

I like how he keeps saying the maps are put together by "trained professionals". lulz

I'd rather they abandon Starcraft and Diablo and try to create something new, like the stuff they created back in the 90's

... you mean like when they created Diablo and Starcraft?

Personally, I'd rather they just finished the damn game than making sure it can run poor-quality 3rd person environments. Maybe this is a sign of their intent to create a Starcraft MMO out of it? Didn't they build WOW out of an enhanced WC3 engine?

I'd bet a good sum of money that no matter what sort of maps Blizzard puts out, just given the size of the player-base there are at least a few people out there who will put out better designed and more creative material than Blizzard could ever do.

They know that and are counting on it. They want to hire those people.

Enjoy buying all that shit as DLC from Cattle.net marketplace.
I already see it - the impossibility to play SC2 on some random server because you need to buy more random DLC shit that crappy modders will put out as it will be installed on that server.

Yes modders will change server with UMS maps for sure

This editor has nothing to do with the server.

I'd laugh if a piece of development software came out that created a perfectly realistic physics environment, and that then became standard for all games. Mainly because I get this mental image of 99% of all character artists having to redesign all of their female characters to stop them from falling on their face and ass respectively. The next Tomb Raider game would have Lara Croft using a backpack full of diving weights just so they keep the character upright without changing her appearance.

No this would not be the case at all.

 

[Dark Matter]

The Blizzard hate in this thread is just pathetic. Them showing the power of their editor obviously means they're not working on the actual game.

Please try harder.

They've announced that after SC2 and Diable 3, they're not making any more games in their existing franchises, but will try to develop a new set of franchises.

Link?

 

[Dark Matter]

I hope they don't make any new franchises because it will invariably end up being a multiplatform consolozed action game or shooter or something.
