    Apologies for the re-upload, everyone! There were some copyright-related issues with the previous video so we had to make some adjustments. Our next video, in which we will cover the journey of an elite group of soldiers that have disappeared from the PlayStation platform, is still on schedule, however! :)

      try having actually played it , it was amazing. You actually felt a part of this universe , especially the stealthy parts , I remember feeling that fear that you would only feel in like early resident evil games or dead space , not because of horror but because it felt like you were being hunted and could be easily killed if you f up. Maybe I was just young and overhyped but I felt more immersed in a demo than I ever did in wow.

    • @TheAdarkerglow
      @TheAdarkerglow 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you don't feel immersed in WoW, try playing it on an RP PVP server. You'll probably find some guy on the other side leveling at about the same rate, and there's your rival since you'll probably kill each other being a pvp server. Then the guild can be there to help out, so there's the cohorts. Make your own story out of it.

      @Usammityduzntafraidofanythin 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Well don't rely on blizzard to give it to you. They couldn't develop anything themselves, which is why thery contracted swinging ape and nihilistic in the first place. Their attitude is top down and domineering. Watch footage of them hovering over employees on their keyboards, actually pressing keys for them in some cases. That footage is supposed to make them look good.
      It's the same problem with gearbox software - randy pitchford and his chucklefucks at the top laughing it up and spitballing ideas while the interns down below have the whip cracked at them, working through the crunch time. All western studios are like this. Blizzard is no better.
      Watch the 'why RTS died' video. You'll have to rely on an indie developer selling to the mid-market or lower if you want something with passion in it.

      Now I'm old enough to understand that it was just a cut boss. But as a kid, I took that to mean that I had to unlock it somehow. I played as far into Nuts of Steel mode as I could in an attempt to unlock that imaginary boss, but I couldn't make it past the trenches.
      I'll forever wonder what the swarmers were, who the zombiebot king was, what those things were that you released by shooting open a rock in level 3, etc.

      you maybe don't understand the difference, Valve never announced HL3, Blizz announced SC Ghost. Valve itself said they worked on HL3 but it didnt work out. Valve is a different company because they dont have to publish games like blizzard. Blizzard itself said they won't develope tripple A big games because they are not that profitable... Valve worked on HTV Vive, Steam OS, Steam gamepad, Dota2/CSGO/TF2/Artifact + 2 unannounced games. and Valve has just around 300 employees compared to 4700 at Blizzard. What did they do with 4700 people? like nothing at all.

    Someone give my a TLDR summary of this video. I had to stop 2 minutes in because I couldn't handle the heartbreaking memories I have of this game. =(

    Tho Ghost and Nova was first scrapped. Her story was told in several books in 2006 before She appeared in SC2. Well worth a reading if you can find them.

    Starcraft Ghost Nova is the tits. Loved the book and it made a character from a scrapped game become one of the most powerful psychics in the Starcraft universe.

    I was so stoked for this game when it was announced....*sigh* what could have been 🥺😢🥺😢

    Mind you... the thought of SC: Ghost is really awesome.. but it might have well turned out like C&C:Renegade. I hope they still make a SC fps. The Nova missions are fun. also that you can change gear etc. I'd love that in an FPS. Like in Hitman 2 i think when you could purchase and mod your weapons.

    Man, I remember waiting with bated breath for this game for years, haven't thought about it recently until I watched this.

    I knew it was going to get canceled when WoW came out. The first experience I had with wow - I picked the game up around thanksgiving in 2004. The next weekend I read at login on my server: Your place in the queue: 1100 and it was slowly ticking down. It did not get better for about 6 months when they split it into three.

    Nova is Blizzard's Baby Child , Her Own Game may Not Have been successfully Released but she still remains in Most Blizzard's Games becoz they love her so Much...

    I saw this for pre order. I hope people got their money back. It's probably for the best it never got done if you think about it. If it were substandard then she wouldn't be as cool looking appearing in starcraft 2.

    I regret not playing this years back at Gen Con Indy when Blizzard had more of a presence there. Might have been the N64 build if I remember correctly.

    Hope that the idea could return someday, they said recently that they are making a lot of games.

    still holding up hope for maybe not Ghost, but any realization of Starcraft in FPS form. recent recruitments vaguely fuel this.

    Blizzard should consider making a Netflix TV series based on StarCraft: Ghost...

    Is any of the commentary different or just imagery. If it just imagery that sticks but is acceptable. If they forced you to change what you say that would more problematic.
    Oh and thank you guys for doing what you do. I show my kids these videos so they learn about the artifacts that our era are creating. You guys are awesome.

  • @d.c.stranded7134

    Saddest reason IMO for this cancellation is cause Starcraft Ghosts had an interesting setting of being a third-person sci-fi stealth action game I don't think there are any other games like that
