What do you think of Blizzard's new console game, Starcraft: Ghost?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Now that Blizzard has pulled the cat out of the bag, avid Blizzard gamers have either been cuddling it or flogging it with a lead pipe... It's Starcraft: Ghost, a tactical shooter game for the console.
Here is Blizzard's official press relase, and here is IGN's exclusive article about it...
With the aftermath of Blizzard's radical detour to the console arena, numerous opinions are being voiced out about the decision to release a console game instead of a heavily-requested sequel to the Starcraft/Brood War games.
What's yours?

I find it hilarious the uproar this game has caused. I find it especially funny because of people whining that it'll be on console.
It's a console game. If you don't own a console, you probably don't like most console games. If you don't like most console games, you most likely won't enjoy Ghost.

I voted other since I do not own or plan to own a console.
I am sure it will be a neat game. BUT they had better get ALL the bugs out of it before it is released, as I am not aware of any way to patch a console game, should a showstopper bug be found. correct me if I am wrong on this.

meh..
blizzard should stay with computers. That way the whole patching deal will be there so you can upgrade. They should have just made it a real starcraft, rts not fps. Fps's are not that great to me. I guess since its on a comsole it cant be a rts really. man I was really looking forward to a starcraft game then they make some lame fps. blizzard can do better then that.
Maybe if it is successful, they might release it on the computer, and if that ever happens I might buy it. It all depends on how much.

I voted for other.
I don't have a console but my brother is gonna buy a GC soon so maybe I'll just "convince" him to buy that game too when it's done 
Maybe I'll even buy it myself if it's good enough, the chances of that happening aren't real high though.

Other here too, I plan on buying a PS2 soon, if they release it on that, then I'll probably buy it.
edit: T'k and Turks, Blizzard isn't actually the one making it, so I wouldn't worry about bugs. Nihilistic released Vampire with very few, and they only released one patch for the game (multiplay bugs I believe..which was pointless to patch because multiplay sucked ass) anyway, my point is, Nihilistic is better at getting rid of the bugs than Blizzard, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Also, it's on the console. This eliminates a lot of issues involving having to code for different hardware and software configurations. Everyone has the same sheeite.
I voted other because I simply do not care one way or the other. I will probably be getting a Gamecube in late 2002 or early 2003, but I doubt I'll but this game when the time comes. Just don't appeal to me.

if i had a console, id probably buy the game. but its not worth buying a console over

Other.
I'm not planning on getting a console.
It would have been awesome as a PC game. 
My thought is that Blizzard will only layout the ideas, missions and flow of the game. That other company will do the actual coding and testing.
So, it's a Blizzard idea implemented by another company.

I especially love the fools who are denouncing SCG for being an FPS. When it is most definitely NOT an FPS.

I voted for "Yes, I am definately getting it" or whatever. Personally, I think it's a great jump for Blizzard and I anticipate that I will be playing countless hours of the Starcraft: Ghost game. =)

The price's off the consoles will drop down substantially when the game finally comes out. But I'm have to wait and see for myself whether the game lives up to the hype. Right now, I don't see anything that really stands out to me.

I will most likely buy SCGhost, when it comes out. I already have a PS2 so I do not have to go out and get a system. Blizzard makes nothing but great games with a great story line, and I am expecting SCGhost to be no different.

I cannot believe that people are angry about this and are like piketing and getting lawyers together. People are dumb.
Im interested in the game, but Im gonna wait for reviews.
And yeah nova, its amazing how people just breath through a press release or article about it and assume so much. I was talking with some people about it on another forum, and it took me nearly 5 posts to convence them it was a 3rd person shooter.
Posted by: Gunslinger
You were talking to actual people about this?
Heathen.

I said it seems great i will buy it i bet
Posted by: redwench
people? there are people out there? i thought there were only interesting text sources.
Posted by: Bishlopim
I have a Gamecube so if it comes out on that I will probably rent and see if I like it. I think it looks good though.

Console = No Third-party Cheats. 'Nuff said.
I'm stoked.
Posted by: TotalRecall
I'm disappointed. Consoles aren't ready for online networks, and I tend to enjoy multiplayer games more. We will see.
Posted by: Chako
I voted other due to indifference..
I don't own a console, so I will not buy the game. It is a non issue to me.
Posted by: elhior_manwe
i would rather see something like sc2, i am sure many agree with me. but to get angry because they are making a console game is ridiculous, dont buy it and dont play it, if it makes you angry. and for everyone who does own a console you should probably hold up on the decision to buy or not to buy. we will most likely see the game sometime around the launch of ps4 and xbox3.
Posted by: Gunslinger
Buy it?
Pftttt.
It's a console game. Go to Blockbuster a few times.
Posted by: Maverick
Yea, not being able to play it over Battle.Net is about the only bad thing I can think of. I can't wait for the game to come out! =)

Blizzard sucks for making games on console. (like, GC, PS2, N64 etc...) Remember StarCraft 64 it sucked, so i want to change my vote
