SC2 Micro revisited
TeamLiquid a publié un article intéressant sur le micro-management dans SC2 comparé au premier volet, dans la mesure où il est un aspect essentiel à partir d'un certain niveau dans Brood War (imaginez un reaver sans micro-management): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=115733
Quelques extraits choisis:
"There is so little difference possible between two players when they’re attacking each other that the games just play out as build order vs. build order. Once you’re ahead it’s really hard to give away your advantage because even if your units get caught off guard they will still do the right thing in battle. Zergling surround and worker micro is something that was so important to the early game of Brood War, that decided games based on how you performed it. That element is completely gone now. If you have enough Zerglings you’ll just kill your opponent almost regardless of what he does"
"The people who think you have to be faster are either idiots or didn't play Brood War," said InControl, an American and a newly converted Protoss user. "This game is 100% an easier game that is dumbed down and made that way with purpose so more people can enjoy some success or at least feel like they can compete. This is an excellent short term business model and is unfortunately the general trend in modern video games. StarCraft 2 is gorgeous, fun, and rewards creativity. It is challenging and will have a high ceiling for skill, don't get me wrong. But it does fall short from SCBW in terms of competitive reward and ability. It just simply does."
"The problem, however, is that I am not sure that the action will be as immediately understandable to observers. I'm afraid this is going to be more like Counter-Strike, where observing for the uninitiated is boring as hell because you don't understand the subtleties without having played a lot and big battles just end up having way too many details in them for a casual observer to understand them all.
"
Du pour et du contre bien sûr. La beta de SC2 n'étant sortie qu'il y a une semaine et demi, je pense très personnellement qu'il est un peu tôt pour se forger une opinion pertinente sur le sujet.

Pas très enthousiasmant ces commentaires.
ReplyDeleteNon c'est sûr, mais il y a également des commentaires plus encourageants. Parce qu'il faut garder à l'esprit que SC2 beta est sorti tres tres recemment, et que ni le jeu ni les joueurs ne sont en mesure de caractériser ce que sera l'experience SC2. Vu l'importance du premier, fort des enseignements garantis par plus de 10 ans de SC, Blizzard nous prépare surement un jeu à la hauteur de nos attentes. D'ailleurs, avons nous déjà été déçus par un jeu Blizzard? WC, WV2, SC, WC3 sont 3 rts dont la qualité n'est plus à prouver (je laisse de côté l'exceptionnelle série des Diablos, et le monstre qu'est WoW).
ReplyDeletedonc ouais en gros moins de competitive gaming et plus de ludique. Hmmm dou l'importance du build.
ReplyDeleteca ne me déplait pas, mais faut pas que le jeu soit trop simplifié non plus...
un minimum de micro à du bon quand meme.
