Starcraft 2
Back in August (2006), Paul Sams did an interview in which he stated that Blizzard has three product announcements in 2007.
One of them obviously is the World of Warcraft expansion which hit the stores on January 15. What about the others?
StarCraft is my absolutely favorite game of all time. As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise, and trust me, I will be the happiest person in the world when we announce StarCraft 2.
According to IGN, while Sams wasn’t ready to spill the beans just yet, he did say Blizzard “will have a major product announcement in 2007,” and that Blizzard was currently working on at least three other unannounced titles at the moment.
Now that WoW is out of the way, it remains to be seen how Blizzard will play with the numbers. What’s next? Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3?
Updates: According to IGN, a Starcraft 2 beta will appear before the end of 2007. Also, there are recent rumors that Blizzard is preparing an official announcement on May 19 in Korea.

They should make another Starcraft game for several reasons, My first one is Starcraft is a futurestic game that is a stratigy game that is hard and a challenge on battle net.

YAY!!! ABOUT TIME TO I was starting to lose faith in blizzard
February 5th, 2007 at 4:41 am
They are both AMAZING games. but Starcraft will win it for me.
February 7th, 2007 at 1:23 am
o live starcraft as much as the next guy, but really dude, how simplistic can you get. Command and conqour has the same qualitys you just named off.
February 7th, 2007 at 3:31 am
I am A Major Stracraft Freak.. i Allways have and will allways be a Broodwar fan..
To hear that D3 and SC2 are being released is just music to my ears..
Just Dont Blow It Broodwar!

Yo, I’ve got D1, D2,D2 expansion, SC, and SC brood war. To tell you the truth they wasnt as good as they could have been. SC brood war was pretty good for an expansion. D2 man that was crap(no offense) the gameplay was great but the way the magic was set up was all wrong,and you should have been able to play as male and female versions of all the characters (not allowing that was just plain lazy). It would have been better had you been able to learn magic like in D1. The expnasion for D2 wasnt much better. I loved having a druid and and assasin but they could have added the ability to play as both male and female versions of all characters. That would have solved that problem. Plus D2 had a problem with wanting to sign on to battlenet. Everyone i new always had problems with it not connecting to battlenet.
These are the problems i thought the games had wrong with them. (I didn’t say anything about SC or the SC expansion because that would have taken too long [I'm not saying that there was alot of problems with it im just saying im to tired and am ready to go to bed])
March 23rd, 2007 at 8:16 am
im for a diablo 3 and starcraft 2 and i go buy it when is out!
April 10th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
good WOW is getting to much on it, damn time u guys r orking on D and SC
April 11th, 2007 at 12:12 am
Fucking about timte!, oh and Joseph, go fuck urself, ur just rubbish at the games so u dis them, u dum mofafucka
April 17th, 2007 at 6:58 am
lol, probably true, hey i have this expansion for starcraft called retribution, the box and cd look all legit but everyone i ask about it says they have nver hard of it..
April 25th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
diablo for sure. yettttt
You want a piece of me boy!!!!!
hope so soon.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
i agree with joseph on the fact that the option of male female would have been nice. i don’t on the other hand think this is a flaw to the game. i disagree with the statement about learning skills. the fact that there are soo many skills to choose from, and you only have about 104 points to place (given quests) makes the game even more of a challenge because you have to choose wisely.
now, for SC. degenerate, i have NEVER heard of retribution. more power to ya for having it, and if you could, post a link to somewhere that has info on it. If you are a die hard SC fan, you know about the SC bonus level and the end of one of the campaigns. i forget which one. but, in the level, the protoss or splicing genes. i was just wondering if anybody knew anything about the possibility of that showing up in the new SC.
April 27th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Keep your mind on the story. we got villain´s in both games that are far more superior than any other game in the market. We got music, we got script, design, voice manager´s, sound mix… more than a game this is a story.
Sounds like you dont know this gyus!
Blizzard is famous for waiting to long for their title releases (Starcraft ghost or Warcraft Lord of the Clans), Blizzard took to long and canceld this titles and desapointed every single fan on the planet.
Let the fans decide if a game is good or not!!… we are more than happy that you worry about quality and making a perfect work of art. but dude! the Monalisa took 3 years. You been playing fools for nine.
You take so long that many people have grown impacient or lost intrest in the sequels. Sure you´ll think this is not a diehard fan but weve been waiting for long enough, so you better get to work.
April 28th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I just want them both to have story lines consistant with the previous games and wrap of the series…if that ever will happen. In SC2 there should be a mission to either restore or kill Kerrigan. Its been a long time coming.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:40 am
I’ve been a harcore wow fan for a bit more than two years now. Though BC is out, I have gotten tired of lvling up toons and make new onces when I get bored of them. Just put out SC or a new Diablo. WoW is at its climax, you guys know this. Not many games dare to pass thier cap above 80. Like EQ, if you keep pushing, people will loose interest. Its time to bring back or creat a new legendary sequel. Remember Guild Wars is close to relasing thier fourth campaign which leads up to thier MMO, Guild Wars 2. Its a free MMO and I hope that Blizzard can get up the nerves to bring back an old sequel and make it great once again. I don’t care which one, just give us gamers something to look forward to. I am sure its SC2 that is coming out and I am currently in korea. I so want to go to it and see what blizzard will announce. Please not be a Pure MMO, be something special or else it will be just another wow.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:49 am
also, Diablo will probably never be a MMO. Yes I think if there is another diablo it will be RTS. The reason, look at wow. Alot of the playstyle, characters and so forth came from Diablo. Yes its warcraft but the gameplay is definitely diablo. I just hope wow adds more classes than what they have at time. A class that focuses on summoning wold be awesome. I know warlocks summon but its only one at a time.
May 16th, 2007 at 7:45 am
A Starcraft MMO would be gay
A new RTS would be cool though
May 19th, 2007 at 2:59 am
wow, i’ve been waiting 10 years to play another StarCraft. I’d dont know much about the development but it better be another RTS. It will ruin it for me if its not. Why make a World of StarCraft when we havnt even found out what happens after Brood War? I love the story line and i’ve been waiting so long to find out what happens. Also they already have WoW, why make another game just like it? they need to stop focusing ONLY on WarCraft and bring us something new. StarCraft is my favorite game of all time. I was about to give up on Blizzard for making another StarCraft. I just hope they dont ruin it. But Blizzard is yet to disapoint me on their games. and now i feel like a big dork…
May 19th, 2007 at 12:46 pm

Go starcraft!!!
May 30th, 2007 at 11:39 am
SC 2 will be awsome….
Blizzard rocks!!!!
I have been playing Sc for 7 years now,
and still i think it is a good game.
hope SC2 won’t be slow, or complicated(hard)….
May 31st, 2007 at 8:20 am
Yes, great game. it will be a big hit for sure!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:54 am
you wanted info on retribution, retribution is just an expansion pack not made by blizzard but it is authorized by them. it comes with a but load of new maps and a campaign but there are no additional units. oh, there are also a few new heros and stuff but the game is very hard to come by
June 1st, 2007 at 12:58 pm
I’ve played SC off and on since 97 one year after it came out. It’s great to see that it’s finally going to get some attention. I always liked the setting better than WoW. From seeing the demo video it seems like the strategies for building and fighting are going to get really complex which isn’t a bad thing … it’ll force players to be more versatile, but it will be much harder than the original.

cmon Brad… command and conquer? compared to SC?? u got to be kidding me?! blizzard games are far more superior than that of the C&C games.. though C&C came out first, SC was the best RTS.. as far as the long w8, it was ok since they released the WoW, D2, D2 expansion, and W3.. dota came out so, for me, i had a lot of games to be busy with while w8ing for the SC2.. i’ve seen the preview in the official site and its cool! hope they release it soon!
July 4th, 2007 at 4:46 am
C&C does not even compare to sc…
July 10th, 2007 at 6:54 am
These games are the best of all time in their field, i have no doubt in my mind… if you compare them to others such as command and conquer you just realise that blizzard are truly the best of the best. The perfect balance yet unlimited stat’s in these games makes them packed for ultimate fun.. cant wait for SC2.. already in a clan for it lol @ http://www.starcraft2.com.au
July 16th, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Starcraft 2 is going to be amazing. In fact, it already is. I saw video’s of it! The new units rock so far too, and I’m sure the story line for single singler player will be astonishing!!
July 16th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
And in response to Brad’s statement, one of the first comments up top; “but really dude, how simplistic can you get. Command and conqour has the same qualitys you just named off,”
I say Starcraft is so well balanced, like chess. The game play is smooth my teeth used to be when I used to grind them down at night. Honestly, when I played Command and Conquer, I really liked it, except the visuals and the pace of the game were not to my liking, in my personal opinion.

if sc2 comes out, you will just want sc3 and it will nvr stop
October 4th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
To address the topic up top. Wow will never stop and is not over and done with. also i think there will be a starcraft mmo because diablo is to much like warcraft and also, ever notice how the warcraft expansion was just an introduction 2 wow? maybe starcraft 2 will be the same way. P.s I want sc2 now ty.
October 4th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Also P.ss does starcraft 2 require directx 10? i heard it does. i wish blizz told us about the requirements
October 4th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
I’m sure by the time the game comes out, which will still be a while most people will have the recommended requirements to play the game comfortably. All blizzard games work on pretty much anything. By the way are you Otherguy from wow server silvermoon??

NOW THAT’S A GREAT NEWS, THAT BLIZZARD WILL RELEASED STARCRAFT 2 AND DIABLO III! I AGREED, UNDOUBTEDLY, STARCRAFT IS PERHAPS THE GREATEST COMPUTER GAME. I’M THINKING, WHY MAKE STARCRAFT A MOVIE?! THAT WILL BE A HIT, SAME AS ID’S DOOM III AND SAME THEME AS STARSHIP TROOPER.
December 13th, 2007 at 4:13 am
Um is SC2 out yet? and yes they should make a movie of all the games cause the graphics in the cinematics r cool!

Our teenage daughter is thirteen proceeding on thirty. She is mad now that we censor everything she watches. There is really little on Television today that we discover appropriate for any teenager. Several months ago, we discovered that you can Get Free Diablo 2 Items Online. along with quite a few other shows. This is good as we can watch a present and determine whether or not it can be suitable to get a child of her age. She is extremely mature for a thirteen year old, but there are things we even now don’t imagine she needs to know about. It’s a fine line we continuously walk, but it’s part of our career as parents.

My husband travels for just a living. More times than he would care to count, his organization has booked him into a hotel which does not provide cable Television. Last year, even though surfing the web, he came across a site the allows him to Get Free Diablo 2 Items Online. Now he has some thing to try and do on those nights when he is bored. This makes me extremely happy as there had been nights when he would go out searching for one thing to accomplish. He would usually spend much more out around the town than he had made that day. His work is to bring capital in, not spend additional than he makes.

Frasier is my favorite Tv show of all time. Now I can see reruns anytime I want to thanks for the Web. I Get Free Diablo 2 Items Online. about the way to perform, within the way dwelling, whilst eating dinner and even when working. My loved ones thinks I am crazy and really wants me to see a person. They believe I am addicted for the Web and particularly this demonstrate. I don’t feel it’s that very much of a problem, but my wife certainly does. She got so mad the other night she threw one thing at my laptop. Maybe I do have to have help as I do not prefer to lose my wife and kids. Tonight I’m planning to ask her to make an appointment with someone for that two of us.
