StarCraft 2 nicht für die Konsole

Wie unser Host 4players berichtet, geht es einem Gespräch zwischen Videogamer.com und Blizzard hervor, dass die Chancen für einen Konsolentitel aus den Universen von StarCraft oder WarCraft so gut wie ausgeschlossen ist. In einem etwas zurückliegendem Interview äußern sich Frank Pearce und Bob Colayco folgendermaßen zum Thema Konsolenspiel:
VideoGamer.com: The game is for PC and Mac only. Is it something that could ever work on console? We're seeing more and more console RTS games and lots of different console control schemes.

FP: It's not something we're specifically planning for right now. The development team is working on the game and the interface with the PC and the PC interface peripherals in mind.

BC: One barrier to entry there is just the speed of the game. If you look at how the RTS genre has evolved a lot of it has slowed things down, make things a little bit more, not a plodding place, but a little bit more of giving players more of a chance to evaluate. StarCraft is really action packed.

VideoGamer.com: I guess it's just too quick for a console controller.

FP: It would be a different experience. It would be difficult to unify those communities online because of the difference in the peripherals. So our focus right now is to make it a PC game. The chances of us taking it to the consoles are, I wouldn't say they are zero, but they are very close to zero.
Neuerliche Aussagen bezüglich World of Warcraft besiegeln nun anscheinend auch das vorzeitige Ende eines möglichen Konsolenspiels aus dem Warcraft-Universum.
World of Warcraft is designed as a PC game. It's designed to have a keyboard and a mouse. So the controls and the control scheme that you have are very PC centric. If you think about mapping those controls and all those different type of buttons that you have to a console without a keyboard for chatting, it's a very challenging proposition.
Dass es so bald keine Konsolenumsetzung der beliebten Universen geben wird wirft Fragen über die Umsetzung eventuell folgender Spiele aus dem WarCraft- bzw. StarCraft-Universum auf. Die neuen Informationen und alle dazu passenden Spekulationen dürft ihr natürlich gerne im Forum austauschen.
