STARCRAFT VS STARSHIP TROOPERS

[Lilac]

THEY BOTH CAME OUT IN 1997-- WHICH ONE RIPPED OFF HEINLEIN MORE?

 

[Tyrant]

Starcraft is the original Aliens vs. Predator.

 

[Tisiphone]

I've never heard of Starcraft...

 

[Tisiphone]

Oh wait...is that the computer game?

 

[Lilac]

Yes.

 

[Tisiphone]

Never played it.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Starcraft is good. I'm surprised they haven't made a World of Starcraft. Or if they have, it hasn't been a success.

 

[Tyrant]

Starcraft is good. I'm surprised they haven't made a World of Starcraft. Or if they have, it hasn't been a success.

I hope they don't, and I hope they don't make a Starcraft 3, because they'll probably destroy that universe if they do.

 

[Dr Dave]

No, they have not made a "world of starcraft" to the best of my knowlage.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

You wouldn't be tempted by the prospect of delving into a world of Starcrack?

 

[Dr Dave]

I would not.

 

[Tyrant]

You wouldn't be tempted by the prospect of delving into a world of Starcrack?

I would be, but I don't want the Starcraft universe twisted in the process, because it wouldn't be Starcraft anymore.

Personally, I think it should go the Command & Conquer: Renagade route. Imagine multiplayer like that.

(If you don't know, C&C was a military RTS game which set many precedents. They made a 3d-shooter called Renegade in which each player is a regular soldier on the battlefield. You all contribute in defending your base, purchasing tanks blah blah. Good RTS meets 3D game)

Imagine gaining credits and purchasing a Siege Tank, or becoming an Ultralisk.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Isn't Starship Troopers an adaption of a book?

 

[Lilac]

Yes: Heinlein's book.

 

[headvoid]

I thought Starship Troopers was an ABBA song

 

[CaptainWacky]

So it didn't really "rip off" Heinlein then.

 

[Lilac]

Minor detail!

 

[CaptainWacky]

PETER JACKSON RIPPED OFF TOLKIEN!
