I’m sure by now most of you have heard about Blizzard’s rumored StarCraft MMO project. I’ve had a few days to digest the idea, and I want to talk a little bit about what I think.
I think it’s a great move by Blizzard to start working on their next MMO, and StarCraft is a perfect choice. If they went ahead with a Diablo MMO, it would seem like a rehash of the tired (albeit cool) fantasy setting that we have in WoW. StarCraft is in a different setting entirely. This is obvious; it’s sci-fi and not fantasy. I’ll get into specifics later, but the science fiction setting allows Blizzard to go in a different direction in everything from technology to setting. It can open up whole new worlds.
