I hope for Starcraft 2. Then again, I had hoped for Starcraft: Ghost. Too bad Blizzard rests so much on games of its past glory.

Probably World of Warcraft 2. While i don´t like it, that´s where the money is.

Reply to Slobogob

WoW 2? What's the point? They're making gajillions from WoW already, and it's not like Blizzard needs the added expense of maintenance for a new MMO hat won't attract that many new players anyway... besides, WoW still has plenty of life left in it. My opinion is that it will be Starcraft. I already detailed why I won't think there'll be a new MMO, and judging by the colour scheme of the timeline and the fact that they're announcing it in Korea, what can it be but Starcraft?

So early after the expansion? Doubtful. I'd be more inclined to think it's either a Starcraft or a Diablo 2, probably Starcraft 2.

On there website 1 year ago the announced that they signed a contract for a WOW movie it should be near done by now. Srry cant remember the link.

I cant wait for wow the movie ive watched the intro to wow so many times its awesome.

Reply to ChaosGS

I doubt it's Diablo 2, I've been playing that one since 2000 and it's still my favourite. :oops: :oops: :oops: Please please let it be D3...

Reply to dsidious

With the announcement set for the 15th of May, in S. Korea, where there are tons of internet cafes and gaming places, I would think it was Starcraft 2, myself.

WoW 2? Doubt it. With the successful launch of Burning Crusade, there's no need to release a new version of WoW, just expansion packs (hell, BC sold 2.4 million in ONE day).

Diablo 3 would be a surprise. There is still a big D2 base, so it's not totally out of the question.

But I still think it'll be a new Starcraft game. Either SC2 or Starcraft: Something...

Why the Warcraft images tho? Warcraft 4? 8O

Reply to aron311

I'd be more inclined to lean towards some sort of Warcraft RTS release. I could be wrong but it seems Blizzard is leaning more toward their Warcraft lineup than Diablo. I'd hope for another RTS as I'm not a big fan of RPGs.
Either way, you know it's gonna be a good game comin out. Blizzard doesn't release crappy games as others have stated. I STILL play Frozen Throne

Reply to tomwaddle

Starcraft 2 is my guess. It'll be an instant cash cow provided they make the game well. There's millions of SC fans out there that want a sequel, myself included! :D

As NMDante said, the fact that they're announcing it in South Korea is a big hint too.

Reply to Mandrake_

My money is on Starcraft 2. That game had a huge following. WoW is too sucessful to tamper with.

Well, another Warcraft RTS wouldn't be that far fetched, but S. Korea still holds huge Starcraft tourneys, which is why I feel it's more for Starcraft 2, than anything else.

Also, with the popularity of WoW, Blizzard doesn't need a Warcraft RTS. Now, an annoucement of SC2 and a new WoW addon, that would be huge.

Reply to NMDante

Well, their original release was Warcraft, Warcraft 2, Diablo, Starcraft.

Although, technically, Diablo was released by Blizzard North...which suggests it will be Starcraft something.

The rumors have been around for a while already....

Whatever it is, I hope they put some thought into it. I'm a bit weary of the absence of original thinking from the major developers lately.

Reply to MonocleCat

I'd be happy if they'd just remake StarCraft in a real 3d engine. The thought of another MMO makes me naseaous.

I wouldn't mind Diablo3 or Starcraft2. Personally I'd like Warcraft 4 coz I can't play WOW. Don't have a good enough connection, part of living in $h!++y south africa. Way expensive internet.

Though not perfect, you can download SC maps with SC units into Warcraft 3 TFT.

Reply to wolverinero79

For those of you who haven't caught an article on Blizzard and what they are doing...

SC2 isn't a rumor. BTW, I have 30K+ games on vanilla. :-) No winbot here.

Reply to JonnyDough

Starcraft: Ghost in 2010?

Reply to chuckshissle

I'd like Diablo 3, since this game is my all time favorite but I honestly believe it will be a Starcraft which deserve a sequel as well. The fact that they will do the announcement in South Korea says it all. This game was / still huge in this part of the world so that would make sens.

Reply to fatcat

What was wrong with DooM 3? Did they make it to good for you? lol...I lOVE that game!!!

i agree..... Diablo3 & Starcraft2 would be nice.....very nice ...

Reply to sevendp

The original Diablo was awesome, a really addictive game back in the day. Starcraft is the best game Blizzard ever did IMO, I still play it now. Diablo 2 was ok, but it didn't have the same replay value that the original Diablo did, IMO. I wound up preferring Baldur's Gate 2 to Diablo 2. Then Warcraft 3 was a nice RTS, just not as great as Starcraft IMO. I haven't tried WoW yet, I should get around to getting the free trial.

Starcraft 2 please Blizzard! :)

Reply to Mandrake_

I agree. I would hate to see another effin WoW game. Rpgs, if you like em are great, but my favorite game is RTS. I play alot of DOTA on wc3 so i'm a huge fan of wc3, is theres a wc4 that would be fantastic! Either way, sc2, wc4, its all good, so long as it isnt an RPG.

Reply to eric54

I love RTS games too, which is why I hope Starcraft 2 remains an RTS. However, I have a terrible feeling that Blizzard will make it into an MMO. Given the huge success of WOW, they might try to do the same with starcraft.

Reply to Glacier

It might just be me but I think that'll suck big time. Except for C&C3 I haven't played a good RTS in a while...

Reply to Dade_0182



Are you retarded? Do you know there are other forums here aside from the CPU one?

I'm getting sick of more and more people putting any old thread in the CPU section, just because a lot of people read it.

Try here instead.



Guess what - people who read the CPU forum also read other forums. If you don't get as high a response there, well you're just typing boring crap. Live with it.

StarCraft is pretty much the best RTS game ever.

It was one of the first games to have more than two (3) oppossing races, a good storyline, a fun campaign that helped you learn and was challenging, and it just looked uber-cool for it's day. It stayed ahead as far as graphics for numerous years. It didn't take a ton of system power to play either and continues to be played by many people. It's online multiplayer is dying after a DECADE, and many many people who are regulars are disappointed with that. It also has a SLEW of customized maps that people have designed and many styles of game play. You can vs computers together, you can play maps with tons of resources or very few, or you can play on maps with a thousand critters that you have to kill before you can build because they are in your way. There are UMS games that allow you to design specialized games with different objectives that have nothing to do with harvesting minerals. This is where people really got creative. Anyone remember Dig-Dug? You drop units out of a dropship which create a blast that can block other blasts from other players, switch places with other places or send out a fast-moving heat-guided torpedo of sorts. StarCraft is a balanced, customizable game that looks good, even today and it's about a DECADE old!

A gravitation to SC2 will make Blizzard TONS of money, SC has sold millions of copies worldwide. The best thing about the game period is how unique and different, yet still balanced the Protoss, Zerg, and Terran races are.

Good point. Why doesn't this get moved by a moderator?

Reply to tomwaddle

They are gonna surprise you all with......... A Diablo RTS!

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Ok, so I really can't even guess what they have planned, but so far they have had stellar games so I have faith.

Reply to Peffse

It had better be Starcraft 2. If it's another MMO, I'm going to be very disappointed.

They're going to announce a new game on May 19th, so they're "counting down" chronologically with the titles that they've released.

Reply to Sythro

Because no one has reported the topic to be moved. Jesus, people, you can complain about the topic in the wrong section, but do something about it.
