I'll believe it when I see it....



....in my hands.


Remember that awesome idea called Starcraft: Ghost?

4/26/2007 7:10:19 AM

I want very badly to believe this... but I'm not holding my breath.

4/26/2007 7:57:12 AM

Expect riots in Seoul if it doesn't happen.

I expect this will happen sometime, Blizzard would make too much money for this not to happen eventually, But I'm not sure I would expect it anytime soon.

Unless they have been working on it for the past few years anyway. I mean, how many people could they have working on WoW anyway? They certianly aren't using their top artists on it.

4/26/2007 9:13:26 AM

its blizzard.... nuff said.

4/26/2007 9:39:12 AM

I'm not positive if they're going to be announcing SC2 or not at this event, but Blizz employees were shown concept stuff for it the weekend before burning crusade came out. It is the next major project along with another wow expansion.

4/26/2007 9:40:26 AM

PLEASE JESUS, LET THIS HAPPEN

4/26/2007 10:44:36 AM

Good God. The world might stop for one day.

Kinda like Harry Potter.

Well, they did sneak up on everyone with WoW....

4/26/2007 11:29:51 AM

No they didn't. It was going to be an RPG from the perspective of Thrall, the Orc. I saw a bunch of artwork and screenshots from the game before it was "Scrapped" but obviously it just got re-worked into WoW. Anyway, I'm hoping they'll pull a WC3 on this, where they don't like how people play the game, so they program it to where you have to play the game their way.

4/26/2007 3:37:45 PM

Yeah news of WoW had been out since before WC3 came out..

4/26/2007 3:39:59 PM

The warcraft RPG and WoW have no code or design concepts in common other then "RPG" in the title.

You are completely incorrect.

4/26/2007 4:38:53 PM

starcraft is slowing being assimilated into WoW
i mean come on, the whole silithus thing, then aliens (draenei) and spaceships crashing
pfft...
its only a matter of time and a few xpacks away lolol

4/26/2007 4:41:48 PM

BUT I NEED MORE PYLONS

4/26/2007 4:48:26 PM

Gah! Starcraft 2! I've heard rumors since January that blizzard was going to announce it. Honestly, I thought they would announce it at BlizzCon, but their Korean fanbase is a little more devoted, if you will, so it would make sense for Blizzard to announce it there.

Also...

What you're refering to is a game called "Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans". I still have a game preview for that on my old Warcraft 2 CD. The plot line for that game got turned into a paperback book, and parts of the story are actually playable in WoW's Caverans of Time. None of the artwork got re-worked into WoW.

I never understood why they didn't implement random match making with Starcraft either. It wouldn't be that hard to implement, would it?

If Blizzard had released this game earlier, 32 people at virginia tech would still be living.

spawn more overlords

That thrall game had nothing to do with WoW. how the fuck could you think that?

[Edited on April 26, 2007 at 9:42 PM. Reason : *]

4/26/2007 9:41:45 PM

Question is, are they going to go a similar route with WoW3, or completely reinvent itself with a brand new engine and way better 3d gameplay!

cause if its one thing people in SC want, is lots of units

4/26/2007 9:53:43 PM

I would have been happy with Starcraft: Ghost. It would have been nice to see if Blizz could make a decent fps.

4/26/2007 9:56:28 PM

fuck it they should have made it World of Starcraft, now I know the medieval fantasy nerds reading this thread will gasp at that, but think how cool it would be to choose hydralisk as a class

4/26/2007 10:06:37 PM

my guess is game play is very similar but the graphics will be worlds better and there will be an extra race.

the game is a national sport in korea. changing gameplay would be like the nba changing the basketball...

4/26/2007 11:33:48 PM

I'd just be happy with the same game, but with a few more customization options and the sprite limit removed. There's nothing like playing a six person game, hitting the sprite limit, having someone build a fleet of carriers, and them wondering why the hell half your army despawned. The nice thing about starcraft is that there still isn't a better RTS game in terms of balanced races/factions/whatever... more than 10 years after its release.

4/27/2007 12:23:08 AM

Imagine the SC2 launch in South Korea. I think it would be the bigger than most console launches.

There will never be a SC MMORPG until the WoW's audience starts to decline severely. They wouldnt make more money than they are now if they split their WoW audience and had to build more infrastructure for another MMO. I say, that if SC2 has success, you will see a MMO for it when WoW starts to decline in 5-10 years.

Blizzard is hiring "next gen mmo" programmers.

5/5/2007 4:38:07 PM

blizzard is also working on expansions.

5/5/2007 6:11:08 PM

wweeeeeeeeeeee

5/6/2007 3:19:53 AM

I am definitely liking technology over magic.

5/6/2007 10:42:57 AM

as if it matters. it'll function and likely look exactly the same.

5/6/2007 10:56:11 AM

fuck
I wanted an RTS

5/6/2007 12:21:05 PM

5/6/2007 12:35:33 PM

i think the MMORPG genre needs to end, thats all that seems to be coming out now. And you can really only devote your time to one game (the mmorpg you are playing) at a time.

5/6/2007 2:30:24 PM

So even if it's true and the announce it on the 19th it will probably be another 3 years before it comes out... it is Blizzard after all.

5/6/2007 2:32:42 PM

OMF.

How am I going to study in med school? :/

5/6/2007 3:12:01 PM

As long as I can move in formations and the sprite limit is removed, i'll be happy

5/6/2007 3:26:38 PM

Goddammit

I don't want a Starcraft MMO

Just give me Starcraft 2 with Battlenet on steroids.

5/6/2007 3:52:48 PM

they arent going to make a fucking starcraft MMO

5/6/2007 4:25:45 PM

they'll play the middle and make it a MMORTS
