Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!
"It took a good day of calls and emails, but Blizzard just got back to us about the rumor floating around that Starcraft 2 will be announced next month during their World Wide Invitation in Seoul, South Korea.
According to a Korean website, StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D with a new race and lots of changes for existing units. The site went on to say that additional details would be revealed during Blizzard's WWI on May 19th in Seoul.
When reached for comment today this was Blizzard's official response:
We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more. Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present.
So that's a yes on a StarCraft 2, eventually, and a yes to a product announcement next month. The only question now is are they one in the same. " -Brian Crecente, from Kotaku.
So what do you guys think? A lot of people still believe it's gonna be Starcraft (which would be fine too because, honestly, who wouldn't love to see that game revisited just as much as Diablo?) but after a statement like that, I'm thinking it's gonna either be an announcement for Diablo 3 or a completely new Blizzard title. If it's not a Diablo or Starcraft game, I'm putting my money on TacoCraft.
Alright, let the speculation begin! May 19th simply cannot come soon enough.

Actually, I do think competing with your own company is a good thing. If they announce Diablo and SC, it would be possibly the most brillant thing Blizzard has ever done. By competeing with themselves and releasing both games, they get two different fan bases (e.g. one in Korea, one in America) and that could possibly double or triple the profit they would make with one game.
I have no doubt that they will announce SC2 in Korea so they can get as much hype as they can for it. And, I also believe that they will announce D3 at blizzcon in California because that would get the same amount of hype.
Has anyone emailed one of the Blizzard employees with a link to the petition?
And, out of curiosity, does Blizzard have a dedicated Community/Public Relations Manager? If so, who is he and what's his email.
Of course they would. If it was a legitimate petition. After all, we are the consumers here.
It is more about "when" than "if".... and May 19th would be one step closer no matter what it turns out to be.
edit: petition has 13,784 signatures
Hey pal, who's pitiful? One who argues in attempt of defense, or one that argues for attention? And, it isnt "should of" it's "should have", so before you start talking about shaking and sluttering any kind of argument, why not check your own text? Man, the fact that you will even cut him down in the first place makes you the most pitiful person on here, I pity you.
And obviously, he HAS seen the sun because he is tan. And, there isnt anyhting wrong with paleness anyway. I actually find pale women are sexier, maybe thats just me. But the point is is your a dickhead, and you need to get over your losses.
Oh, and, of course if you were setenced to be his killer, he would have to kill himself- how can you accurately murder, when you can't even accurately read?
Sorry, I couldn't even make out what you were trying to say.
The education system has failed you.
Don't forget to kill yourself!
That's cus ur illiterate, you already made that clear to us dipshit.
Just because your education hasn't made you literate, doesn't mean you have to criticize others.
Wow, what is up with you and suicide. It's stupid. Any six year old bully can say that. I mean, if your gonna insult/threaten someone, at least be creative.
By the way, you are the most narrow-minded bigot I have ever seen. (Shit, you don't know what a bigot is do you, oh well)
Nice. That's not bad at all.
Cry more, poor babies
MuttonChops, could you just refrain from speaking? You're afraid to give me any personal information to deal with this manner in a different way, I'm absolutely not saying pain or death is involved but I'll happily take you out for coffee. You seem like my kind of woman, difficult and whiny.
Do you have a sense of humor? Perhaps not as crude as mine but jesus christ you can't possibly take someone this seriously.
I doubt anyone would hire you long enough to give you a paycheck to buy coffee. And no, I won't stop speaking. Why stop talking when you can't step up your intellectual game? And giving you my personal information does nothing. Besides, I'd thrash you.
Anyways, that's besides the point. I don't need to prove anything to you besides the fact that everything you say is stupid. But judging from everyone else's response, there's not much else needed to be proven.
And if you really feel like you need to prove something with your empty threats, I'll give you one pictoral reason why you can't touch this. After all, since you're addressing me personally, that must mean that you're that threatened by me.
Back on topic, please. Anyone have a logical argument for what product they believe will be announced?
Addressed you personally? You inititally attacked me, and in every formed have complained about me, you're threatened by me.
Spell checker doesn't increase your intelligence.
Wow, I just realized that you are the only one he has singled out. That's interesting. Your psychology is very accurate too in saying that he is threatened by you. And Aibo, you are not even close to anything I wanted to be like in highschool. That's why I have a 4 pt. and am going to Harvard biatch.
By the way, i love the way you end arguements muttonchops.:D
or just take it to off topic or spam.
thanks
Don't backseat mod. It doesn't work. Anyways, I'm trying to bring the discussion back on topic, if you hadn't noticed.
