Looking through some of the past post (and being bored), I decided to look at the quotes and piece them together in what would make the most logical sense as a sentence.
Order:
Diablo II
WarCraft
WarCraft III
StarCraft
WarCraft II
Diablo
D/W/W/S/W/D -- Yeah, I don't see a pattern... but it wasted my break time! Back to work now... /sigh
*Edit -- I just noticed after I posted that, if the World of WarCraft quote goes between S/W or W/D then there would be a pattern: D/W/W/S/W/W/D If the WoW quote fits here then it would predict StarCraft being the next game! /end sarcasm*
watch that trailer on the korean site, while loading lightning constantly strikes, now when it get to the diablo game lightning again begins striking, and when it gets to diablo 2 to the left of the amazons head, more lightning, none of the other games have ANY lightning in them, probly just a coincidence but im hoping *fingers crossed*
Hey just had a thought. What if they combined the worlds of Diablo and Starcraft... Like Belial goes to another world and corrupts a whole civilization, then brings them back to earth to get rid of mankind so they can then get back to hammering away at heaven.... REALLY out their but I was bored and was reading excerpts from the books....

DiabloCraft...i was joking about it yesterday with some friends hahah.
The fact of the matter is most gaming companies have more than one project in the works at any one time. My gf works at EA, and apparently they have like 5 or 6 different titles in steady progress. Even Flagship Studios, a newer company with a painfully smaller development crew than Blizzard has two games in the works.
EA also happens to be made up of many divisions and is probably the largest game development in the industry. Also, look at the quality of their titles. They are horribly buggy and usually pretty uninteresting. Also, Flagship is working on Hellgate, which is near completion and Mythos which is in alpha. That's hardly really working on two games. Mythos is hardly even a game really. It's got shitty graphics and probably plays like every other rpg out there and that in my opinion doesn't take a lot of effort.
@Speculation:
You guys realize randomly throwing together quotes and WANTING to believe won't change the fact that it's StarCraft 2. If you guys want to get your hopes up and be crushed then thats cool with me but what you should have done is what I did. I started playing Blizzard games when the The Lost Vikings came out and have enjoyed every single one of their games since. To be honest, I like starcraft just as much as I like Diablo so in all reality, no matter which they announce I will be equally happy. Simply because I know that if it's StarCraft, I get to play . If it's Diablo 3, well then I get to play Diablo 3 and I have Company of Heroes. I'm set either way.
People stop guessing
I bet you all $1000 it will be SC2
If it would be diablo 3 they wouldn't chose KOREA "the capital of starcraft" to announce it
LMAO
gg
i guess they gonna uptade the website at midnight pacifik time
Something tells me they won't, so don't be disappointed if the new image doesn't appear at the strike of midnight. I have a sneaking suspicion they're gonna hold the suspense as long as possible to coincide with the announcement in Korea. :mad:
Oh and another thing. Many people are claiming that even after the announcement is made we've still got another 1-3 years before the game gets released. However, I think we might actually see it this year.
Many rumors are claiming the same saying we might have a SC2 beta by end of 2007. But based on these timeline graphics I think that's plausiable. They're attaching a year to each game, and ultimately the final year is gonna say 2007, leading us to believe that it might actually be finished or in a playable state in 2007. Unless of course the final image to be revealed shows the game with a 2008 or 2009 timestamp.
Misterdman: You have the most terrible english of anyone I've met, and I've been around the world! However, you probably correct. I mean, all other things aside, they would have to be suicidal to announce anything other than a starcraft title in Korea.
Also, what you are saying about Diablo 3, is true from the scrapped Diablo 3 project, who knows if they'll even stick to the same storyline this push.
You can find the schedule of this event below. All times are Seoul Time (GMT +9).

19:00 ~ 20:00 : Closing Ceremony
As much as I want Diablo 3 to happen, I get the feeling Starcraft 2 is going to be the announced game. Type in www.starcraft2.com in your browser, and watch where it takes you... Blizzard's site.
It would be nice if they announced both. But us Diablo fans will probably get hosed, and they'll just announce another stupid expansion for World of Warcraft.
its well known Blizzard works on a WoW expansion aswell. There are even textures of new continents and items in the next patch thats coming (i dont expect them to add a new continent in a content patch). They also licenced Frostmourne among other things, so i'm pretty sure we'll get to know something about it within this year. Would be too early to announce it now though, especially while people are still really busy with the previous expansion. Blizzard knows marketing more than anyone, they'll definitely announce it when it suits it most. For now it looks more like Starcraft 2 to me.

The question is whether they anounce only 1, or a second....
