3rd Person view on Starcraft 2?

[Combine Hybrid]

They show Starcraft Ghost video as an example of how you can switch Ghost unit into third person and stuff.

BTW, you can also play shoot-em-up style of game in SC2.

Pretty ****ing sweet.

i say. that is pretty ****ing sweet i say.

 

[Bob_Marley]

That does look pretty damn awesome.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

That's pretty sweet n' awesome

It's just a different camera angle really. The interesting stuff is the different control scheme (mouselook yay) and the ability to design your own HUD, buttons, scripts, whatever.

I like how they all have bottles of mountain dew. Cool video. Game could have some pretty awesome custom content.

 

[Lucid]

Awesome.
This could already be done with the WC3 editor though: third person action games and shmups.

But, judging by what he was saying it seems much more refined and versatile, since you couldn't really use the mouse for aiming in WC3 and custom UIs were non-existent.

But yeah, I say that too...

 

[13LACKBISHOP]

Awesome stuff. I look forward to playing some of those.

I'm really excited about this feature. Maybe I'll take a crack at creating some annoying unplayable piece of shit.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I was really hoping that something like this would happen.

 

[CyberPitz]

Delicious.

 

[Acepilotf14]

lol no

This 3rd person thing is likely their way of making up for it. Hopefully you'll be able to do the same with other units too.

It's the last time Blizzard talked about it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the next gen MMO turned out to be something like World of Starcraft.

They have said countless times at Blizzcon this year that they are not making Ghost without saying "We aren't making Ghost". Many PR guys I've heard said something along the lines of "May it rest in piece".

Obviously they love the character, since they have Nova EVERYWHERE at Blizzcon, but I'm confident that the game will not come out as a standalone. As was said, this is probably their way of giving us what they can.

I was really looking forward to SC:G too
