MTV Multiplayer Producer: ‘StarCraft II’ To Be Mom-Friendly

But he also told me that he’s also trying to make “StarCraft II” playable for his mom.
“It’s definitely a very challenging tight rope walk,” he said of trying to make the game for both e-sports players and a broader audience. “We’ve trying to make sure that it’s perfectly balanced for e-sport, but look — I’m going to try to get my mom to play this game. I mean, I know she can’t [micromanage] at the level that these pro gamers can, so we’re actually experimenting back in the opposite direction… so that even the layman can come in and get a grasp of these cool things in the game.”

Sigaty explained that “StarCraft II” is in its alpha stage and is being tested by two former pro gamers on staff as well as pros at the conventions. However, his mom hasn’t gotten to try the game yet. But he said, without going into specifics, that they’re trying different things for more casual players.

“[Real-time strategy games] at this level — there’s a lot more there to think about and it gets really frantic really fast, and so it’s definitely off-putting to somebody that’s totally new to video games,” he said. “But we want to make it much easier for people to explore whether it would interest them.”
He added, “And yes, I want to try to get my mom and my wife to take a look and see if they like it. My wife has come to a lot of these events, and she loves watching [people play] but she says, ‘I could never do it.’ Well, I want to try and change her mind. I think that would be awesome if we could.”

So they are going to make the games stupidly easy?

 

[Wing Zero]

they will probably make it like a fighting game. Easy to pick up. Harder to master

Now why do I have the feeling this is one of the many things that the more they make it the more it sucks compared to the previous.

because there is always a division of the base when there is a sequel rather then a 1.5 or 2.0. eventually people will move on and accept the new game.

Example Super Smash Brothers Melee and Brawl.

Naw, there are people who like the feeling of being superior using archaic game mechanics to out play their opponents who don't care to take years to practice repetitive motions.
