I have decided to make this post to deal with all the rumours about starcraft 2 and to see if anyone actually knows if its going to actually come out. I have heard several conflicting things, for one thing Almost every RTS designer from EA games that worked on C&C is going to blizzard.....HMMMMMM.....But the very next day I heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody that the game is cancelled. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE FULL TRUTH WILL THE BLIZZARD EMPLOYESS IN THESE FORUMS PLEASE SPEAK AND SHARE THE LIGHT!!!!!!
I am also going to create a forum on why starcraft ghost will suck because it took about years to develop. (JK JK it will suck and it did take 6 years roughly but im not going to make a post!)

The more time it takes the more bugs they get rid of, features they add, and graphics/gameplay they improve.

Although we have not made any announcements and do not have a development or release timeline, we do fully intend to revisit the world of StarCraft on PC at some point in the future. "

@code spinneker: I'm sorry if i sounded a little rude before.. I've edited my above post to relay the same amount of information without relaying it in the annoyed fashion that i was in.

I've had a rough day and i see how it has transfered to a few different ways of communicating with people today and i'm sorry for that.

Wow, why're you people so... angry?

If they make StarCraft 2, then good on 'em.
If they make Diablo 3, then good on 'em.
Good on 'em for making StarCraft: Ghost.

What difference does it make if you know who's making it, or if it's even being made, ahead of time?
None, that's what.

So, calm down

very good, now you're seeing it the way i do, that's why they wont do it. They'll lose their WoW customers.

Honestly I don't understand what the big deal about any of this is.
Blizzard North building was shut down. The employees there were given the option to move down to Blizzard South.

As far as Diablo 3 being crap cause a building shut down. The team that worked on Diablo has left for Flagship. People from Diablo 2 left for Areanet.

Seriously no one from the original teams were even left 2 years ago. If Diablo 3 sucks it would've done so being done at North or South.

This said if it ever gets released is another thing. I know it was in development since atleast 2001, and it was still in development when things were shut down.

I also know that Starcraft 2 is very likely to be developed pretty soon as a follow up to Ghost.

Both games are definately planned, if not both already in a relaxed development. How long they take to be developed is completely different question though.

Given Ghost is the only official game they have in Dev still, I'd bet money that this recent consolidation was to make sure both teams could work under the same roof using the same engine to develop both games at the same time.

Atleast that makes more sense to me than people claiming it was too expensive in San Fransico to keep the company open there. Especially given WoW is by far one of the most popular MMORPG games ever.

The entire segment of the company was shut down, it doesn't have to do with the building. They were given the option of moving away from their families and friends - yeah right.

Quote: "Seriously no one from the original teams were even left 2 years ago. If Diablo 3 sucks it would've done so being done at North or South."


Plenty of the design team was, including Roper and several artists, off the top of my head. They left a while back, but not two years.

Huh that made no sense there junior I have no idea what your talking about something about games being equal, when has that ever happened? And why would it matter, also another thing lets keep ghost out of this unless were absolutely sure that its going to be connected to starcraft 2. Also inr esponse to Diablo 3 and Bnet its not going to happen till they get the people back from arenanet and their all having fun building Guildwars Stuff that I will be surprised if they decide to come back to blizzard because GW is doing so well.

Seriously Starcraft 2 would be a really nice game and I would play it but ghost for the most part is already a starcraft game(not rts mind you) so they should go back to an old series that has been somewhat neglected in the past years. Just think if Diablo 2 is still played and bought then can you imagine how good Diablo 3 would be money wise for them. this will probaly never happen but o well a fan can dream cant he.

EDIT: Ya I would buy Starcraft 2 it would be really fun.

Yah dont we all wish, I personally hope starcraft 2 is 3d with an intriguing storyplot that deals with the xel'nega because I feel we never really got to learn much about them other than the fact that they liked big crystal things and such and screwed around with other creatures genes. I also hope they have some interesting things to do with the terrans because they were a good race to build a story on. THe last thing Id like to see is a beggining intro movie like the one in broodwar where the guy is in the trench and is overrun because Into wise thats the best one Ive seen probably.

I love Zergs. They need a story line where the zerg dont get their ass kicked like the last one. They should also make the zerg be able to make infested protoss. I would love to see 3d Zerg cutscenes(man you guys are making me wanna install starcraft and play again.)

ok i am going to say straight foward why i think no one has made a mmorpg sci-fi style - nerds are the only ones who play mmorpg's, so you can kiss a mojority of the futuristic halo audience good buy - and the truth is most nerds want to pretend that they are a wizard, or a knight in shining armor so they play runescape and games like that, its the blatent truth.

@code s: what makes you think that galaxies bombed???

yeah, a sci fi game is usually fast paced and an rpg, can be boring as hell most of the time
