I had high hopes for this game and the RTS genre...

...but Stormgate is just a more cartoony reskin of Starcraft. (IN IT'S CURRENT STATE!)
Watched the pre alpha footage at the PC gaming show and oh boy what a disappointment.

Will keep watching how the game evolves but the showcase was a HUGE bummer.

edit: to clarify i don't hate the game, i am just very skeptical about it.
However i do care about every new RTS game (aren't that many anymore).
I love the human build animations (3d printing) for example they already look nice.

Didn't even know about the game but I thought it looked okay but really simple. Growing up playing Red Alert 2, Tiberium Wars, Battle For Middle Earth 1 & 2 - games like those made you feel strong and comparatively Stormgate feels barebones.

Starcraft? Its more like Warcraft.

Because of the trees? The units and their behaviour are very close to some Starcraft units. Watch the gameplay again and look out for the drops.

I mean the graphics in general. Its not a Starcraft reskin, its close to Warcraft than anything else.

The gameplay yeah, its sc2 wich is a good thing

We already have SC2, what does Stormgate better to make me play it?
Right now i can't see a single advantage.
Nothing wrong copying a great RTS game but you have to make something better to justify the existance.

No pricetag?

F2P is a disadvantage.

Feel like you just wanna hate on something, and this game caught your attention. Game isn't bad and they have yet to show us any of the other modes including PVE and Story mode. All that while being free is pretty good.

[RAZORLIGHT]

Tell me a good F2P Strategy game
Heck even a good (and fair!) F2P game of any genre, not many out there.

ps. oh another one of those clowns, any criticism = hate.

[Jack_Burton]

I don't care. Its been over 10 years since SC2. To be honest, this game seemed more in the vein of Warcraft which I liked. Like a mix of Warcraft 2 and Starcraft.

I'm 100% on board for this.

Considering the direction modern Blizzard is heading, I'll gladly take a new studio's crack at the SC2 formula

[DayofDreamz]

I think you are missing the point it is PRE ALPHA. So everything isn't where they want it yet. Heck it isn't even to ALPHA stage of development.
I will agree it looks a lot closer to Warcraft with the cartoon style of graphics. But I still have pretty high hopes for the game since I love SC2 and old Blizzard games.

We all care about your opinion. Truly. We are all very sad that you're sad.

Starcraft 2 launched in 2010 for $60 (Terran campaign and a MP)
Then they charged $40 per expansion for the Zerg and Protoss.

It went F2P in 2017 - 7 years after making a ton of money at retail.
