What exactly would you guys like to see them do with SC2?

You know I'd like to see in it? Full 3D tunnels. Imagine having to send your small groups through tunnels, using point guards who have longer range of vision, setting up sentries or traps at key points, worrying about lighting if your race can't see in the dark, or how to effectively attack with all your units if you have a lot of melee, etc.

They could be a stand alone part, but more likely (and fun) incorporated into a more "normal" map. Both as areas that are set up, and places where you can tunnel. Imagine having to worry about Zerg tunneling into your camp in levels with softer ground, or worrying about losing part of your horde when terrain cave in the tunnel, or dark templar roaming the tunnels invisible and assassinating your better units.

It won't happen, but DAMN would I love it.
 
If I had to bet I would bet on Starcraft 2, but then again it's a good thing I don't gamble cuz otherwise I woud live under a bridge :D Anyway, god damn it, it's been almost 10 years since the original, give me my Starcraft 2, pretty please with cherry on top :p

I think Blizzard is going to announce a new Lost Vikings game. That's a very old franchise of theirs that they need to revive. Remember, Blizzard did make other games besides Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo.

But their cash flow came from those three franchises. Those games are loved, those games will be bought, why change it?

That's how I've always seen it. When people ask me why I'm so sure that SC2 will *eventually* be a reality, I just remind them that if Blizz makes SC2, it's basically free money for them. It WILL sell well. Oh please let this announcment be SC2.
 
2 Diablos and 3 Warcrafts... including a hugely successful one... its time to milk the Starcraft cow or create a new cow altogether :) either way its awesome just as long as its not an MMORPG.

With the absolutely ridiculous out of control money making success that WoW has been I honestly don't think that this can be anything other than a Starcraft MMORPG. This also has to be the reason why they tanked Ghost (or at least it seems like they did).

I mean there are now WoW VISA cards for chri$t's sake!

I doubt it. Think of a star craft MMO from a game mechanic point of view.

Races Human Protoss, some new humanoid Zerg?

Classes?

Gear?

Not saying its impossible but at this point is seems a RTS would make more sense.

There are plenty of space MMORPG out there!

Races - all those you named plus countless others they could create (it's space!)
Classes - Engineer, Marine (could be split up into different specialties or even different classes with the marine class, i.e. Firebat, Marine, Ghost), Pilot, Scout, Emissary, Researcher/Scientist... just off of the top of my head. Check out a futuristic d20 RPG, they'll have tons.
Gear - dude! There is so much they could do with this.

The main reason I going with this is they put a lot of work into Ghost. If you ever saw some of those videos or screenshots you know what I"m talking about. There is no way they have just scrapped that whole thing. They probably just decided part way through the production of Ghost that they should move the whole project underground and morph it into something else, something with much more potential, something like WoW.

Either way, RTS or MMORPG I'll be happy. I love the whole starcraft series so as long as its starcarft, count me in. Diablo on the other hand...
 
I'm all for Starcraft. Diablo was great but it get's a little repetative. Starcraft has unlimited strategies and game options. Different maps to play, different combonations of people v.s. people or comps. They need to bring back the best game ever. Starcraft 2 all the way. It's so nerve racking. Waiting till the weekend to find out.

That sort of thing happens more often than you'd think. It's entirely likely that they have, in fact, scrapped the whole thing. Plus they have more than enough cash that they can afford to be extremely picky about what they release.

I highly doubt it will be a StarCraft MMORPG, but I could imagine a MMOFPS. Perhaps it's too much for today's computer and the lack of widely-available broadband, but I can't imagine they can do too much outside of RTS, FPS, or action with the StarCraft IP.

I also believe there is too much hype for a StarCraft sequel. Maybe it would've been safer to release Ghost. A StarCraft sequel has to really not disappoint. WC3 was cool, and WoW even brought in non-Blizzard fans. It probably won't do much in the way of changing the RTS genre (if it indeed is a RTS and probably likely to be an RTS), but Blizzard needs to stick to their guns: RTS's. I can't wait for the storyline. They left us hanging with the Zerg/Protoss hybrids or Xel'Naga secret mission.

Blizzard has certainly stayed away from consoles for a while. The last releases were re-releases on the GameBoy Advance of their old IP's like Rock and Roll Racing and that Vikings thing and two others, I believe. Ghost was supposed to be last-gen's but that didn't happen. Would be a shocker if this went to any of the current game consoles.
 
Yes! I can't wait! I don't know if Blizzard could afford to make another MMO, but hopefully if they do you could use your WoW account with it.

afford it? they have 8.5 million people playing World of Warcraft at about 15 dollars a month, plus the money it costs to buy the game and the expansion. i think they could afford it.
 
I will probably only being into a MMO SC2 if your 15 dollars counts towards that too. I can't pay 30 a month for two MMOs that I could barely play. ;)

But a RTS will be awesome!

Hell. Blizzard could sell just empty boxes with their logo and SC2 on it and make millions.
 
i doubt very much that this would be another MMO, WoW is still going strong at this point, if anything they're just beginning to work on a new one right about now. this should be a RTS game of some sort i think. but we'll see in a few days.
 
WTF? people never played SC or Diablo. Anyway factoid for all of you when NBC was buying out parent company of Vivendi/Blizzard, they really did not want the company saying it was not making money but kept it for the real estate these companies had. If any one knows the whole story share it.

So we wont know till the 20th huh damm I was about to post something when I went to Blizzard to see if there was a UB for Diablo and SC.
 
i dont know if someone in this thread has already mentioned this, but remember that guy who died in south korea from playing video games? well, he died from playing starcraft!! leave it to blizzard to introduce the game in the country where people are fanatical enough to die from video game playing.

only 4 more days till starcraft 2 heaven!

shush you, speaking silly its Diablo III
 
I don't think they'd hit up Warcraft 4 yet... I know a crapload of people want a Starcraft 2 though... I personally hope they get Diablo 3 though. I'm not a big fan of Starcraft personally.
