MS are the only ones who can save Blizzard at this point.

Does Blizzard still have any developers that can make a good RTS?

RTS is a cooked genre.
The only way it coming back as a traditional RTS is if it's done by a relatively small team within Blizzard. We've seen way too many A and AA RTS games release over the last 10 years with little impact. Frankly, I doubt Blizzard would be interested.
The IP is way too interesting and fun not to pull it into the modern market via a genre change.

What used to be known as Team 1 (SC->WC3->SC2->Heroes) was disbanded few years ago. Some of the people made a new studio called Frost Giant Studios, others went to Mike Morhaime's new company.

The dude was asked a question. He answered it. You guys act like he just offered his opinion just to hear himself talk. Holy shit, GaF. Never change...lol
Seems like a really bad idea. They already did a Remastered Edition that was pretty much exactly what the Brood War community wanted.

For me I think Silent Hill is a great example of why you need to let things die. Appreciate and look to the past but stop trying to recreate it, the situation that gave birth to Citizen Kane will never be recreated.
Same with this, a lot of college nerds making what they want LED to A LOT of the 90s and early 00s gaming. It's just not going to happen, the staff who made it what it was are long gone and who's left clearly aren't interested so why force it?

And i gave my opinion, i don't care whether you don't like it, i'm a fan of games, not a CEO or a brand like you.

I was super heavy into Starcraft back in the day.
Nowadays I just don't have the energy to devote to an RTS. I might play through a campaign. But I don't think I would go online against someone.

I do feel like this now but would love to get back into an RTS game. When I was playing WarCraft 2/3, consoles stopped existing for me LOL.

That was way back before the PS360's were even a glimmer in the predevelopment eye.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Thank that to the main focus on consoles and that it's horrible to adapt with a controller.
Microsoft tried with Halo Wars and it was a weak rts thanks to the design around a controller.

That's why I wouldn't want another Warcraft or DLC/Addon or extended story.
I wish they'd just deliver on what they promised with better cutscenes, better graphics etc.

Apparently you're not to apt in the reading department. I didn't say I liked the guy (though he seems all right for a CEO) I said he was asked a question, and answered it. Not just gave his opinion on the topic to hear himself speak.
Frankly, I'm indifferent to your opinion. No offense.

Then why quote my post, i'm for Starfield and i want the guy to release games quicker, don't you, Phil even admit's this himself for the last 5 years or so i've seen by posts on here, your acting all defensive and acting like a console warrior, which i have never been, PC only player

Phil doesn't control what Blizzard makes yet, your frustration is misplaced.

I'm not frustrated i just made a comment and an opinion and he never said that did he about Blizzard, he mentioned making more games.

It really isn't that popular anymore. It has zero presence in today's discourse and its player base is probably very small as well.

What time is it?
He'll just put 343i in charge of Starcraft 3 which will lead to it needing to be revived.

And it's been 7 years since the last SC2 expansion came out, not to mention it might be another half a decade or more by the time a next prospective SC comes out owing to Blizzard's pacing.

How about Starcraft x Halo multiverse

No it's not, it was one of the most played games. Blizzard has abandoned StarCraft and won't even update StarCraft 2. Since 2020 Blizzard has stopped organizing WCS and instead entered into a 3 year deal with DreamHack. They don't even mention StarCraft as one of their IPs.
They are soon going to kill StarCraft eSports, the IP is getting the same treatment as Heroes of the Storm.Meanwhile this is what ActiBliz think what is their best IP.
Activision-Blizzard Has Pretty Much Given Up On StarCraft
Financial results released today all but confirm that the StarCraft series is dead in the water with no current plans develop any projects.www.thegamer.com

The SC setting is great for a survival/rpg game.

The real problem they have is making Zerg appeal to more people (~33%).
They need to be a little more H.R.Giger and a little less venereal disease. Protoss and Terran are just about perfect.

oh I don't think it needs one, I wanted to know if remakes are cheaper and easier than new games. *Remasters* obviously are

On the one hand, I think Phil is lying and trying to get people to stop talking about Call of Duty and the potential of future MS hegemony. On the other hand, Microsoft has clearly figured out this RTS thing with AOE in a way nobody else has, so I could see it. AOE4 is mostly overlooked by normies but it really is a very good game. A StarCraft 3 would be pretty cool.
