And with that announcement, Blizzard effectively gave the middle finger to my friend Fraser, and told him rather rudely to go “fuck a goat”. After all, Fraser was supposed to receive the Starcraft action title for Christmas almost three years ago, and has been frequently disappointed by Blizzard’s announcements about the game - namely when it was removed from the Gamecube roster.
Now, the company is claiming that they are interested by next-gen console hardware, and they are delaying the game indefinitely while they “lay the foundation for future console titles” and tweak Starcraft Ghost so it meets next-gen perfection.
What Blizzard has seemed to neglect is the fact that console life cycles now only last 5 years, and that length may shrink (although we all hope it wont). Blizzard - known abroad for their extremely long development times - cannot effectively complete a game that is to their liking within that expanse. So, perhaps Starcraft Ghost will forever be in development limbo a la Duke Nukem Forever.
