It was Doomed

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?

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.

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...

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

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

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.

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.

WoS, World of Starcraft...

lol

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.

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.

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.

where is the download link?
thanks

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

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.

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...

A search for SC War3 maps

its either sc2 or diablo 3. there have been some posts of rumors from blizzard employees of what diablo3 is going to look like with hell overrunning heaven.....but who knows.

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.

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.

*PM's a mod*

Looks like this thread got dumped in our park. I just posted this to the C&C review thread where this question came up.

I think it'll be Starcraft 2 and here's why.

First of all, they're making the announcement in Korea to the pro-gamers. Starcraft is the biggest thing ever over there. It's unbelievable how popular it is. So I think Starcraft is their universe.

World of Warcraft is the most successful video game of all time with no signs of slowing down soon. If they announce World of Starcraft, WoW players will get that feeling that you get when you have one thing but the next thing is coming out. Why should I keep playing WoW when World of Starcraft is "around the corner"? I don't think Blizzard will introduce a product that will compete directly with their most successful product to date. It can only end two ways: either it's a hit and everyone moves from WoW to WoS in which case Blizzard does not (relatively) make money aside from the initial influx of people buying the box because the WoW monthlies suffer. Or it sucks and they lose the significant amount of money it will cost to develop and launch the game. I just don't think it makes good business sense to do World of Starcraft yet (although I want a sci-fi MMO).

If it is World of Starcraft, keep in mind that World of Warcraft was released some four of five years after it was announced so "around the corner" is not what we're talking about.

I think Starcraft 2 is the better business decision because it will cost less to develop, it will come out sooner, and they can reap the benefits of it much quicker. Businessmen love a fast ROI.

Gimme a freakin break. I asked a simple question because I didn't know the answer. AND, I didn't even complain about the topic being in the wrong section.

I didn't see this either, so I'll move my reply here as well.

They shouldn't work with Blizzard then.

I'm leaning to StarCraft 2 as well, but this is Blizzard. An announcement just means we have something to talk about for the next five years. "Just around the corner" is the much anticipated push-back of the release date.

On that note, I don't see why WoS would be a bad thing. Do you think people would mind moving away from WoW in 2012?

Edit: Looking at blizzard.com, I'm surprised they've waited so long to make an announcement. It looks as though they're trying to emphasize the fact that they've released a new game every two years, roughly. But it has already been three since their last major release.

A few things bug me about this: 1) Are they trying to change their rep by making an announcement so late in the production cycle? It won't work. I'm still skeptical, and anyone who waited for StarCraft: Ghost should feel the same way. 2) Do they intend to release StarCraft 2 by the ten year anniversary of StarCraft? Having a release that far distant is way out of character. Still, they did it with WoW ten years after the original Warcraft.

I'd like to be optimistic, but Blizzard has taught me to hate the news and love the game. I'll wait patiently for 2008, but I won't hesitate to say "I told you so" should the need arise.
