Something old Blizzard did that I don't see many other game companies doing, is invest in the art for the game, from visuals to the background music, they had very talented artists from the very start of the project.
Of course most games have descent art, but it has to be elevated to the next level. Starcraft had a unique style with unique music, on top of the good gameplay... but initially the gameplay wasn't anything special. It was the art that kept players hooked and that gave Blizzard time to improve on everything else. I think this is where modern games are failing.
- npinsker 1y agoYes, speaking as someone who likes StarCraft and would've been happy to pay money for this -- Stormgate felt like it had no purpose for being made, other than "we want to be CEOs of our own company". It was really disappointing. I don't need every part of a game to be spectacular, but I do need ONE part to be -- some part that gets me to buy in, because someone at the company really cared -- and nothing here was.
