STARCRAFT 2 *POLL*

[vhx]

I'd play it if it were an MMOFPS. I don't see how it could ever work out as a MMORPG considering there wasn't that much of a background to it as say WoW does, where every little thing has some backstory.

Also don't see how a MMORTS would ever work. At all.

10 bucks says they're announcing that Starcraft: Ghost is back in production... this will be followed by 6 years of delays and the eventual announcement that the game has been scrapped.

Why? Vivendi sees only $$$

Recently, Vivendi gave a presentation to Wall Street. A lot of things were mentioned, but this announcement was a standout: "All Blizzard franchises will become MMOGs." And when they said all, they meant ALL! Along with the bold announcement, they also claim that they now have a model to come up with MMOGs in 3 years, and that they are also backed up by a $50 Million budget.

Everyone reported that, and everyone was wrong. The source for this was http://f13.net/?itemid=167 , not QJ. How can you trust anyone that doesnt even have a working about us link in their top banner? The person who sent it in? His name is the very professional "Shiznitz"

I meant MMORTS, not RPG (see my later reply)

it seems odd for Vivendi not to give a Starcraft MMO to the company that started the franchise and outsold every other game of the same genre by millions.

Blizzard probably does not have the staff to handle two such massive projects (WoW and a StarCraft MMORTS) in Parallel. Also, Blizzard has outsourced before, ghost for example:

Many in the gaming community were under the assumption that the game was being developed by Blizzard when it has in fact been a third-party project since its inception

I do not recall the original discussion of it, you could be correct.

This will anger many..... but, there is a chance of it being that.

I'd wager it would be a FPS

I think you are onto something there. Blizzard postpones ghost to reinvent it as an MMOFPS? PlanetSide already exists, so it has be shown that it is possible. We now have the exPlanetSide people, the starcraft fans, and WoW refugees that would otherwise go to other games paying a monthly fee still.... not a bad idea! Maybe merge it with RTS elements? Have a dedicated commander to coordiate the actions of the units in the MMOFPS (think commander in BF2, save much more complex) and the position could only be available to people that spend many months grinding ranks in the FPS part to "earn" the position, it could work!

Perhaps they will just skip 2 and go straight to Starcraft 3?!?!

I'm hoping for D3 personally...

I don't understand how any of you think that Diablo 3 will be announced on May 19th. It's already announced! It's named Hellgate: London, it's as close to a sequel to Diablo II will ever get. (Bill Roper, main man behind Diablo works on it).

Hellgate is a blood borther to Diablo, but it won't be a Diablo. And they've already stated that D3 is going to be a MMO, after the life cycle of WoW is done(2 years).

Care to provide a link to your statement to back it up?

A Starcraft RTS would make a lot more money than another MMO.

how do you figure?

$50 to buy the game and a recurring monthly fee of $15...

The Koreans have Starcraft as their pro sport. Everyone would buy it, and they'd probably buy a few more than just one each.

Well are they going to make it free? Or are they going to follow up WoW with another MMO?

Perhaps less, depending on where one is, and what time the announcement happens. Korea is 14 hours ahead of the east coast of NA.

Way to state speculation as fact. Good job!

They're announcing it in Korea. It's obvious what series the game will be in...... I've been in South Korea for 5 months and all the PC gaming is involved with Starcraft, StarCraft, and Brood War.

I don't understand why some people still think it's a diablo game or even a warcraft game.

 

[secretanchitman]

announcement should be around 12-2AM for us central time peeps. 1-3AM for eastern time, and so on and so forth.

i cant wait to see what it is........it HAS to be sc2.

 

[I4AT]

There is no game yet, Blizzard is waiting to see which game generates the most buzz so they know what their next cash cow will be. Then they'll whip up some pos and laugh all the way to the bank.

 

[Furyline]

Anything but an MMORPG and I'll be happy...

If it was a non-SC game the Blizzard representatives would not make it out of South Korea alive.
