Shroud Campaign

No Shroud Campaign?

I'd prefer a campaign against the Shroud.

There's no big Shroud campaign yet, just a Campaign mission tacked onto the end of the Goo mission series. It's more of an introductory mission but still pretty cool

I'd prefer both.

Just one for playing shroud

So should we expect a new set of campaign missions? Or is this whole update just new faction + one new mission?

Because the notes to the Definitive Edition say "Descent of the Shroud Campaign"... and I'm not seeing any campaign.

[Zack812]

I havent even seen a new mission

The new mission is on the normal campaign map screen. You have to have finished the main campaign first.

I'm kind of doubting that we'll see a Shroud campaign, given that the collection is called the "Definitive Edition"; that has some kind of finality to it. Rather, I think the mission is just setting the scene for the multiplayer conflict involving the Shroud as a playable race.

The devs have been hinting at a campaign for months now I was more hoping this was just a taste of what is to come.

I wouldn't expect a campaign as the Shroud. I mean, the Shroud has already stated to have annihilated countless worlds. If the Shroud wins here, whoop-de-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-doo. They won again.

There should at least be a campaign as one or all of the three races *against* the shroud. The trailer that we received had some new CGI scenes, and the new mission had unique voice lines for the main characters.

These things are expensive, as is the studios' and actors' time. I doubt they brought them all back just to make a 3 minute trailer and record less than 5 minutes of new voice lines.

Companies have done much weirder things in the past than that...

I'm actually more disheartened that the single mission is yet another Goo mission. Would have been nice to show Lucy some more love. ><

Maybe later when this game really picks up! (much to be done, sooooooo' very much!)

Yeah, the main campaign was balanced, and now the DLC has had 1 Human and 3 Goo missions. More than that, I feel like Lucy and Saruk have basically merged into one character (towards the end of the main campaign, and throughout the DLCs). They both have the same personalities, the same goals, and the same stakes. Their dialogue in the DLCs is somewhat interchangeable.

Which is sad because they started out as two very strong, very unique characters. I do hope we see more GG campaign and we get so see more of Lucy and Saruk's individual personalities. But as I said above, I kind of doubt it.

If you load this map, it helps if you sing "lucy in the sky with destructors..." really loud before "ready."
Short of having the collective skill and talent that goes into making those maps, we can make custom missions. I'm just pushing the editor, I know it's not everyone's thing.

Since they are now calling this the "definitive edition" my guess is that a big new campaign would come with a sequel. I for one would be interested in Grey Goo 2 with more strategic options, bigger maps/more players and more campaign now that the story is picking up to go overdrive.

Come on Greybox/Petroglyph!
