I mean, come on, this isn't something lame like Zelda, Warcraft, or Final Fantasy...THIS IS STARCRAFT!

Wow! Tomorrow's the big day. *crosses fingers that it's SC2 and not WoS*

Just curious but how big do you think the **** storm will be if they actually do announce something other than SC2? I think anything but SC2 would be a huge mistake on the part of Blizzard. Just my opinion but I think people don't want WoS or even Diablo III (or worse yet, WoD) over SC2.

Another question is if they do announce SC2, when do you think the estimated release date will be? Knowing Blizzard, we may be looking at another couple of years at least before we even see the game hit the stores. sad


Christmas 2007.


"When is the game coming out?

At this point, it's too early to provide an initial estimate on the release date. As with all Blizzard games, we will take as much time as needed to ensure the game is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible.

See you in a couple of years. sad Don't get me wrong, I love the quality that Blizzard puts in their games, but I hate having to wait so long. Oh well.

He seems to say "It's finally come/here" from what I make of it. Damn I'm excited. I wouldn't hold my breath for an 07 release though.

Let's hope Blizzard can reinvigorate the RTS.

I say the release date is April 1, 2008, ten years to the day the first game came out. Man, the pressure is really on Blizzard now. SC2 has to be the greatest game ever or it will be a disappointment. tongue

I love the screen at blizzard.com. "Hell, it's about time." Too true.

Here's a better link to the gameplay video in near-HD quality.

Click on "Kostenloser Download"

EDIT: Part two: http://www.gamestar.de/downloads/videos/trailer/strategie/echtzeit/starcraft_2/1470284/starcraft_2.html

It's really great stuff. You can hear the unit dialog and the attack noises in all their glory.

Well, there is an Artwork/Gameplay video on the official site but there's only a tiny bit of gameplay shown in that one.
