The logical question here is: will COD be in gamepass? otherwise what's the point of this takeover.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Starcraft 3 is the point

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Those devs already left. At best it would be a hollow shell of a game like aoe 4.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are some games made by SC devs or SC players, we'll see how it turns out. I would like to see SC3 with full financial support of a AAA studio.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aoe 4 wasn't great and that was AAA support. The people that made SC great are gone, most are at frostgiant, Dreamhaven, Warchief, and more.

Yeah okay, let me want what I want instead of trying to convince me not to

Ffs buddy, learn to let it go. I mentioned the two games in my previous comments already. Then I mentioned I would like an actual Starcraft 3 from Blizzard. You don't need to point me at anything, just accept someone else wishing for something and move on.

Nah nah, StarCraft: Ghost is coming back. It’s just a matter of using the Gears of War engine & adding in StarCraft textures & models & SFX.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'd rather it look and feel like Halo

[–] UkaszGra@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Candy Crash instead of blue screens.

[–] Bonskreeskreeskree@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm sure black ops 1-4 will definitely be a part of it!

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You can bet your sweet ass CoD will be part of it. Possibly not MW3 but the next game will be a big day 1 game pass launch, guaranteed.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe they'll make warzone no longer free to play but instead included in game pass as a means of recruiting more members.
