-Confirmed- Blizzard OFFICIALLY announcing a game May 19th!


Recommended Posts

Um, when was that confirmed? All that I've seen stated is that Blizzard would like to work on a StarCraft game. I've never seen it confirmed that SC2 is being worked on.

Um, what the hell? Have you not read the original post in this thread? :blink:

"Blizzard Korea's Park Young-Mok director said "There is not content available for answer for the sequel. The sequel will be released at the WWI on the 19th. Please confirm it at the site on the 19th" and denied the confirmation on if StarCraft 2 is indeed the sequel that is to be announced on the 19th."

And Microsoft denied the Elite for months until it was revealed. I guarantee SC2 is being worked on, whether or not it's going to be announced.

Of course it's being worked on in some form or fashion! What game developer with a massive IP isn't going to be working on a franchise that made them rich? That doesn't mean the game ever sees the light of day in many cases, however. Hell, Command & Conquer 3 was being worked on for ages, and it only just now got released -- and that's after they scrapped development 3 separate times. :)

I would love another Diablo. I think it would make more sense. Hasn't Diablo sold more than Starcraft? I hate that damn game!

Honestly, I don't think you can compare RPGs to RTS's. It just doesn't work. Besides, Diablo already came out with #2 + Expansion. It's time for Starcraft to rise to power.

:laugh: Exactly!

I believe it was Starcraft Ghost which was canned long ago, SC2 was never annouced.

Personally im happy to see either of these games releasing a sequel, id be slightly dissapointed if it was another Warcraft, I think WC has had a good run of blizzards attention lets get the other 2 franchises back up there.

SC sequel would be good as there is always a lack of quality RTS games out there these days, but on the same token the demon bashing lore filled world of Diablo would be great to be emerged in again. Heck if either of them are MMO it will be good too :)

One of Blizzard's gold-encrusted execs has said that he "hopes" there will be another StarCraft game in the near future.

"As a Starcraft player I can tell you that I hope it wouldn't go a decade - we launched Starcraft in '98 - I hope it wouldn't go a decade before we stand here and celebrate the next Starcraft together," Itzik Ben Bassat told crowds gathered at World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade's official launch event in London last night.

"Don't forget that we have two more franchises that we love - Diablo and Starcraft," Bassat had declared.

"We haven't forgotten that we have these two franchises, and what I can tell you is that I look forward to stand here in a few years, or whenever it's going to be, and celebrate with you the launch of the next Starcraft or the next Diablo."

According to our people on the ground, the Blizzard PRs "looked a bit uncomfortable" around this point. So that's welcome to the Internet the hard way, really.

Whether all that means Bassat knows something that we don't though, or whether he's just teasing or speculating, is impossible to say - but Blizzard is notoriously secret and perfectionist about its work, and it wouldn't be a massive surprise to discover a sequel lurking in development somewhere.

As a korean exchange student the person who posted saying its a japanese site doesnt know between the fonts.

Also, I hate starcraft. Not every korean plays this game. I tried it for an hour, uninstalled it.

Somehow, I prefer games like Swat 3 , Swat 4.

Yeah, that was posted a long time ago. That's what I was alluding to when I stated Blizzard only said they'd like to return to the franchise.

You're in an extremely small minority as far as I can tell...

no im not, why did blizzard make warcraft 1,2,3, frozen throne world of warcraft , etc.. i dont think im alone in liking warcraft over starcraft if blizzard made so many warcraft games.

Does anyone else \not want them to go 3d with the next StarCraft? I mean to me WC2 and SC are about raising huge armies and large battles. When WC went 3d with WC3 I felt like there were huge unit limitations! I didnt feel like the battles were huge and I hope the same doesnt happen the SC2. Cause i LOVE stimming a @!##! load of marines and sending them charging in with a couple of medics and battlecruisers for support! yeehaa!

It has to be one of the following being from Blizzard (obviously):

Diablo III

Starcraft II

Warcraft IV

World of Diablo/Starcraft

World of Warcraft 2

Or the long shot one: a new IP based game.

Heh. I've also been in contact with Blizzard, and they said they would get back to me later today or Monday and they would give me some information. More than likely it is the same sort of response Kotaku has :D

Yup, has to be one of those above.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
