no
Does anyone actually care about this game. Just looks like Chinese StarCraft, even if the gameplay is good I can't imagine anyone dropping SC2 for it
while i don't really care about the game, I do care about what it represents, as in a big budget rts in 2023. I want it to succeed not because I want stormgate to become the new sc2 or c&c or whatever, but that hopefully it will show other devs and publishers that there is a market for rts games still rather than nostalgia bait with phone games, spinoffs, and low effort remasters.
If stormgames bombs its just pretty bad for the future of rts's in general
Yeah i'm going to buy it for that reason alone tbh.
I am in the alpha but I don't want to say anything since I'm pretty sure people have been found for breaking NDAs on Ganker before. I'm honestly shocked I got in the alpha considering I only played the SC2 campaign plus maybe <100 games of SC2 ranked. It's not like I lied in the application either. I guess they didn't want only hardcore ranked grinders in the alpha.
it is free to play anon.
when it comes to NDAs of this nature you can pretty much only say that you got into the alpha, there have indeed been cases where people have been caught before
there was already some south american boomer streaming it on twitch for almost 2 hours. I downloaded his vods before he deleted them.
And how is it really?
Because i have no hopes for games made by Blizzard or ex-Blizzard devs, even if they are veterans of Blizzard and gaming industry in general, because they are nothing more but the apostates of gaming industry at this point, led by greed and evil
the framework is there, but its very much an alpha. really what I expected.
you're not wrong. they didn't even know what made Starcraft successful in the first place, and that's why they fumbled around with 2 and just gave up.
You have a link for those?
I will be playing it when it comes out. More RTS is always good. I'm tired of aoe and starcraft.
Stormgate is literally just starcraft
No that's ZeroSpace
with a unit roster like this they better have enough money for the lawyers. it's like they planned a Blizzard IP infringement lawsuit as a part of the marketing campaign
generic brand bug aliens
Doubt it lol. There are bug aliens everywhere. DRG has them, starship troopers has them, 40keks has them, honesly pretty much any game set in space has space bugs, they are a classic
>Your honor, my client's tank clearly shoot lasers instead of projectiles
Nope, SC2 and WC are inspired on 40k.
Which is based on alien...
which is inspired by starship troopers....
which is inspired by Asiimov's short sci fi stories...
This is not big budget, this is fricking asiatic slop.
Starcraft is dead and nearly buried, it's the perfect time to make a clone. The other RTSs coming out are all in the style of c&c.
Starcraft was always backwards. Just let the asiaticclick monstrosity die already. Pretty much every other given RTS is more fun.
every near competitive rts turns into a asiaticclick fest, starcraft is not the problem
>looks like Chinese StarCraft
It legitimately *IS* a SC2 clone for chinks, it's even made by some of the people who made SC1&2
Of wich they so fricking old right now that they don´t know how to made a RTS game anymore.
Good think that I gonna stick with Starcraft 2 wainting to whatever more competent eastern developers gonna fix and made to this game...
Eat shit.
The main problem that I have with SC2 is that it really needs to be updated to modernize the UI and the models. Also, the store is too high priced and you can't buy the emojis anymore. It's so sad, they really should recycle the skins instead of selling it for a super high price.
The custom game browser is also horrible, and they really, really should remove the Mule, Chrono Boost and Injection, it's so annoying.
Yea pretty much which is why I gave up on it.
honestly, no. wc3 and starcraft were good because of their singleplayer experiences, this game has nothing to show for any of it. it's also cursed with modern bullshit of f2p cancer and its realities, battle passes and stupid e-sports clout chasing and autist magnetism. it's basically doomed to die anywhere between a week to a few years.
me but I can't say anything, I'm under NDA
Better company that the "evil AAA ones", right anons?
bump
>When thinking of the setting of the game, the developers explored all kinds of ideas, from superheroes, to westerns, to sci-fi, to fantasy. They were particularly inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in that its setting allowed all kinds of characters and stories. Ergo, the developers chose to create a science-fantasy setting, where the developers and writers had the creative freedom to explore all kinds of unit designs and stories without feeling constrained.[31] In regards to Blizzard's RTS games, Stormgate's primary inspiration in this area is StarCraft II.[6] The maturity level and tone is intended to be similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
It's all so tiresome
who cares I just want to asiaticclick
>In regards to Blizzard's RTS games, Stormgate's primary inspiration in this area is StarCraft II.
>The maturity level and tone is intended to be similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
not my RTS
Fricking hell, it is like they are allergic to my money.
>inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe
>The maturity level and tone is intended to be similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Hard pass.
>The maturity level and tone is intended to be similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
they do realize that the games this works for are all targeted towards 12 year olds right? Do they actually think they can steal the Fortnite audience?
>Hero unit dies.
>Goes "uhhhh, so that happened!"
Fricking hell man. I just want SC1 story tone and SC2 mechanics/mission design. Too much to ask for?
What RTS games even had good singleplayer campaigns since WoL? Iron harvest? Starship troopers?
>WoL?
Why'd you pick the most boring campaign to play? I guess the story isn't totally ruined in WoL, but the gameplay is ass compared to hots and lotv.
LotV has boring mission design and HotS is complitely ruined for me by how moronic the plot is. Also kerrigan is way overtuned in hots.
What part of WoL gameplay do you even consider "ass"?
So, I guess gameplay is the wrong word, but the terran upgrade system between levels is just worse and less interesting than the zerg evolution system and less interesting to me than being able to go full boomer nostalgic in LotV with pure BW unit lineup. I guess a lot of the missions themselves I cared much less for in LotV, like the stupid tug of war mission.
ok, yeah, being able to switch your unit types/mutations any time you want in LotV and HotS was cooler than permanent upgrades of terran
I am not trying to be a negative nancy here, but my progression went from:
>Oh sick the old-school Blizzard guys are making their own RTS
>[Reveal trailer] Oh this looks kinda ugly I don't like this setting / style
>[Gameplay trailers] Oh this looks like absolute ass
I am sorry but I have zero hype now, I didn't like anything I was seeing there
the art looks like warcraft 3 bro. just hasn't gone through final polish passes because it's in alpha.
no faction of sentient food = i'm not playing it
>The last hope for the RTS genre is nu-blizz rubber warcraft aesthetic starcraft 2 (aka, the bad starcraft) inspired sloppa with extra marvel slop on top for the tone
What did strategy gamers ever do to deserve the genre becoming this way?
Starcraft and its derivatives have been left to rot 10 years ago by other games and developers that are trying to push newer and innovative ideas to make the genre more fun.
Most have failed, for good measure, but I will never regard another soulless Starcraft clone from soulless Starcraft devs as relevant as opposed to the more recent RTS games that tried to innovate. the Spellforce 3 RTS is a lot more interesting than that slop.
If you have spare wish with a genie, then wish for Sanctuary to not become a never ever meme and the star citizen of RTS
When gamers turned their noses at AoE3 for being too different it was the beginning of the end for RTS
marketing error, people wanted AoE2+. would've done much better as a spinoff than as a mainline
>people wanted AoE2+
they tried with AOE4 and look where it gets them
studio who haven't made a decent game in 17 years continues to not make good games, news at 11
Anon even the devs said they had no idea what they where doing with the game. AoE3 is literally bad.
Fricking boomer anti-capitalist indie company too stupid and secretive I presume...
they don't talk about their great ideas because they don't have any
I want it to succeed so much, but you just know it's gonna flop...
Waiting for leaks.
Zerospace will blow this out of the water.
In what universe? Zero Space looks even more unoriginal than Stormgate
Yet another carbon copy of starcraft 2 coming out. Amazing. Aren't these literally the roach models?
https://alpha.playstormgate.com/invite/ab2d25a9-90c8-4275-a883-98e92ef8aas2
let me tell you a secret guys, you can get an alpha key by accident changing some numbers and letters from a link like this
Care to elaborate?
>Demons are Undead+Zerg
Could have been worse. They are still dollar store kreegans though.
>literally creep
are you fricking kidding me
>not-banelings
dropped, trashed, shat on, S, etc I wish RTS designers would frick off with this "cheap and explosive" unit design, nice originality btw
>demons with ear piercings
>frank klepacki
not gonna save this pile of shit, and notice how they didn't say "soundtrack by frank klepacki" but "we're working with composers like frank klepacki"
>that mobile not-diablo at the end
RTS is over as a genre, after this flops horribly.
What the frick is this shit?
someone looked at that and said "yes, this will sell our game"
>the eyebrow piercings
lmao
Xir the Corrupter, Shebooner of the Wastelands, Bloodflake the Unbound
that would have been funny at least
alphabet people as an RTS faction when?
pretty sure you wouldn't put a piercing through the hard bony part on the chin
mobile game.
>troony developer sees himself in the mirror
>Decides to turn into character design
>Your honor, my client is actually infringing on Games Workshop IP, not Blizzard.
>alpha thread
>nobody posts a thing about alpha
Can I assume that people in alpha were vetted hard and few chosen people have it.
Or do you assume I'm going to look it up on reddit myself?
Frankly I'm more interested in what will MS do with the IP since AoE4 was ass.
the rts genre is so creatively bankrupt and in such a decrepit ghetto in terms of sales and public interest that we now have two games (stormgate and zerospace) that are explicitly billing themselves as "le OLD SCHOOL is BACK baby!!!!!" from people who are 'saving the genre', but they are nothing but milquetoast blatant rehashes of decades old game design and systems and units
this shit is so depressing
honestly if rts boomers like you guys don't like this game it's a good sign
It's a game made by homosexuals in California, c'mon...
While it's moronic to claim that it's shit before playing 1.0 (which is shit-riddled point of reference as live service games are never truly released or ever finished which is quite the topic on itself) it is even more moronic to be optimistic or 'le hyped' about it with all the red flags hanging out an waving in the shit-storm while being painted brown by nu-devs.
>While it's moronic to claim that it's shit before playing 1.0
making correct inferences from small amounts of information is a sign of intelligence, not foolishness
>but you don't KNOW
i don't KNOW the sun will rise tomorrow either
kek look at this guy, you are not "intelligent"
have a nice day
why is intelligent in quotation marks
is that a sign of intelligence
whether i'm brilliant or a fricking idiot has no bearing on the argument - but once this pile of dogshit releases and proves me correct you can feel free to revive my desiccated carcass so i can mock you accordingly
fr no cap
this game looks like the most mediocre asiaticclicker
cool
looks boring and uninspiring. Gameplay seems like a combination of warcraft and starcraft but isn't better than either. I'd rather just play one of those instead.
What's with ex-Blizzard employees making their own SC2 clones?
