i dont understand why they would release starcraft 2 first other than its easier to make it compared to diablo 3. I think we all agree that diablo 3 is the superior game so why not get it out first???? any thoughts
- StarCraft is way older than Diablo2, it's kinda normal they're working on releasing StarCraft sequel before Diablo3.
- StarCraft2 seems to be in the work for quite a while longer than Diablo3, so they decided to focus on their more advanced project first.
- I think your argument that StarCraft2 is easier to make than Diablo3 is kinda wrong, but this is subject to another thread.
I think we all agree that diablo 3 is the superior game so why not get it out first??
- I'm sorry, but this is the opinion of a Diablo fan... a LOT of people around the world(I'm looking at you! Koreans! :P) think StarCraft is a LOT superior to Diablo, and are waiting for longer to have a sequel to the game. Hell, there still are some StarCraft world tournament, and they're really popular in eastern countries, a lot more than Diablo is.
Of course I'd prefer Diablo3 to come out first, but logically, it makes sense that they're working on releasing SC2 before D3, actually.

If you can't amaze people with your intelligence, confuse them with your bullshit.
Because is older than D2 and some people is more curious(Including the Blizzard devs) of what will happen after the Brood Wars over The Destruction of the Worldstone.

Because StarCraft has been "ignored" for a longer time than Diablo? You aren't the only people in this universe.
Diablo is superior to StarCraft? An unbalanced simplistic hack&slash is superior to the perfectly balanced and relatively intellectual RTS? Well, it depends on how you measure such things, I guess...
You cant realy say that Diablo 3 is better than Starcraft 2 because their two diffrent genre's.
Its better to compare games out of the same Genre than to say which one is funner based on game type's because everyone has their own taste in Genre, Some like RTS's other like RPG's Others may only play FPS's.
Ones a RTS and ones a RPG Hack'n Slash. This depends on your taste in gaming.
As for why Starcraft 2 coming out first. Its a far older Game, and im afraid to say it in this forum.......but more looked forward too to alot of the RTS Community.
Im going to Nerd Rage the shit out of Star Craft 2 when it comes out by playing for a few days straight lolz.
Diablo 3 however seeing as its a little bit younger in development and was almost thought of a being forgotten about. Will now have Blizzerds full attention when Starcraft is out. And This means hey....its gona get done faster and possibly be more polished.
All i can say is that once Diablo 3 comes out im gona Nerd Rage on that too lolz. I love Red Bull....it makes Nerd Rage days so much better.
Personally I am a huge Starcraft Fan when Starcraft 2 was announced I was giddy with joy, just like alot of you were when Diablo 3 was announced. I enjoy the Starcraft series alot more then the Diablo series and I always will. But then again that is a personal statement. Unfortunately as a lot of people have said this is a Diablo based fan site, which is good but it is kind of sad that people automatically jump to conclusions saying that "Insert random game here" is bad because "I" don't like it or "It can't compare to game "X" Therefor it is horrible".
I actually read today that SC2 will be delayed into Q1/Q2 of next year I am praying this is not true, because if this is true focus will be shifted towards that and World of Warcraft over Diablo and the game will be pushed back more so then it is already. Don't get me wrong, the Diablo series of games are great but you just can't compair it to a game that is of a completly different genre's.

You can say "I will enjoy playing D3 more than SC2 but that's just an opinion. It would take an impartial reviewer (if there is such a thing) to say which one they thought was the better game, but they are not directly comparable as Meteoro said because they are vastly different from one another in terms of play style, graphics and even what the user gets out of the game.

I'm looking forward to SC2 more. I want D3 only slightly less though. It just seems like it is the... How do I put this... Most easily diversified game. I'm talking about the world editor. In Warcraft 3 there are hundreds of custom games, and it's not like we're running out of ideas. So SC2, I'm hoping, will probably have the same World Editor setup. So it'll have far more options for gameplay, other than the campaign. Which will be awesome. Like, SC2 Campaign > air

First off, because the Starcraft community was probably feeling way more neglected than the diablo community.
SC has been around longer, and has gotten less attention (other than south Korean, of course) than the diablo series.
That whole incident with Starcraft : Ghost probably made the fans feel even more hopeless, if one sequel was cancelled, whats stopping them from cancelling others ?
Plus, SC was one of the main games that Blizzard really hit it off with, it was about damn time that they paid some respect to the series, and made a second one.
In all seriousness though, Starcraft is the better game. It's perfectly balanced, and incredibly well made.
That being said, I enjoy playing the diablo games, more than I enjoy the SC games, despite them being made so fucking well.

It is my understanding that each game has it's own team of developers, testers and programmers. Just because they'll put SC2 out first will in no way affect how long D3 is going to take before it is pumped out. They've said repeatedly that it will come out when it is ready, finely polished and to their standards. I agree with that stance. I don't anticipate that they'll put a starcraft developer on the D3 team unless it is completely neccessary.
As much as anybody else I am craving D3. To say that they'll shift focus more onto D3 doesn't make sense to me. They are very focused on it currently. I imagine the starcraft guys will continue to do work on that series fixing any bugs or glitches and imbalances when that game is open the general public and more is learned about the gameplay to a broader audience. If I am wrong please correct me.

I cant wait to play sc2... im happy that its getting released before d3... this way when d3 comes out i can focus only on playing it.... or something...

I AGREE with viciousnugget in that SC2 does not alter D3 in any way...and from what ive been reading it seems both games have seperate hardcore fans due to the fact that they are completely different genres. Thus i have concluded that the release dates will in fact not flood one another or cause any damage to blizzards market and they should both be out in close proximity to each others release date!!!!
They're developed by separate teams so I don't see how the two games releases are connected.
SC2 was announced before D3 was, so naturally they would finish it first to appease fans and because it is farther along. I'm thinking they'll give a release date at Blizzcon, I don't care much, I probably will never even buy the game, but it would be cool for a lot of people out there if it was released sooner rather than later.

Diablo's better gameplay-wise, but it makes me feel stupid playing it. Left-click. Right-click. In Starcraft, you're constantly meeting different strategies, and you have to adapt.

Starcraft and Diablo are two completely seperate games. RTS (Starcraft) and RPG (Diablo). Both are phenominal games in their own genres. But to answer your question much like most people have already...starcraft 2 has been in the works for awhile. I think it was a year before they started to work on diablo 3 accordingly to their work they had done when they announced.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
I love diablo much much more but sc2 will give me more then enough gaming to do until d3 is released. For me its better this way. If it came out in the other order with d3 first i might miss one of the best RTS games ever released because i would be to involved in d3

That's a very odd question to ask on a DIABLO FAN website. It would be like saying "Starcraft is a superior game" on a Starcraft fan website.
Diablo is superior to StarCraft? An unbalanced simplistic hack&slash is superior to the perfectly balanced and relatively intellectual RTS? Well, it depends on how you measure such things, I guess...
That doesn't sound like you're much of a Diablo fan...

SC has a better story though and thats mainly why i like it =3
since diablo is less specific with who does what its just not as appealing
the gameplay is pretty much tied since they are completely uncomparible that way lol but they are both = fun to me lol
the graphics in D3 are better lol
so on my scale thats SC 2 points and Diablo 2 points
whoo tie xD
