The readers of Windows Central have spoken: StarCraft needs Microsoft’s and Xbox’s attention, stat.
Over the weekend, following the news thatMicrosoft bought Activision Blizzard, wehosted a pollasking people which Activision Blizzard property they wanted to see Microsoft revive right away. As of this posting, the vote total sits at 1,115. StarCraft owns the lion’s share with 24.39% of those votes (272 votes).
Spyro came in second with 18.3% (204 votes), and Guitar Hero managed 12.29% (137 votes). Fourth place went to Prototype, fifth went to “other” (Activision Blizzard holds alotof beloved IPs), sixth went to the idea of rebirthingCall of Dutyas a better franchise, HeXen locked seventh place, and last came Tony Hawk with just 5.83% (65 votes).
Down in the comments, where the coolest of cool readers are, we got a glimpse of what people were hoping for when they voted “other” in the poll.
“Infocom redux and X-men Legends 2 plz,” requested techiedude007. “The possibilities for Game Pass are staggering.”
Enigmaraff also chimed in with ideas. “I’d like to see a new Zork game and a remaster of Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex,” they said.
Meanwhile, fjtorres proposed not only Activision Blizzard revivals but also Microsoft revivals. “Some of the Activision studios might want a crack at some of the dormant MS IPs like Conker or Fusion Frenzy (King?),” they stated, reminding us to never count out Conker, theforgotten adopted son of Microsoft.
