Honestly... Blizzard is too damn smart. They know that they would have every forum buzzing about their LOCATION. They KNEW that people would assume SC because of its location. They KNEW people would deny D3 because of its location. I dont think that location should be involved in assumptions!!! The quote that i saw made it pretty clear that they were not going to announce SC2... and as far as I know.. lying isn't the best way of keeping a suspicious audience HAPPILY curious. It's just not their style (I hope). As far as the SC patches as of late, I think they are releasing those because of the ALREADY increasing numbers of hopeful (returning) players.
(I sure wish they would release a D2 patch these days:rolleyes: )
Newho... I've been playing Diablo I, II, and III on and off since my middle school days.. and im not in college.. so if Blizz doesn't release a D3, MMO or not, I'm gonna frikkin flip!!
Small question... when Blizzard announces games.. how long does do they tend to actually get them on the shelves after announcing?
Let me ask you this..
Do you think they chose to unvail it in korea?
Or they chose korea to unvail it?
this doesnt make much sense to me but let me explain my thought about it.
Korea is the country in which Starcraft is a religion. Tournaments, tv shows etc. Wouldnt it be completely logical to have the next Starcraft game announced in the land in which its worshiped as a religion?
(However) With the montage of MMORPG's, do we really need another to add to the collection? I just can't see it happening.
I'll freely admit i prefered SC to Diablo, however that doesn't mean that my logic, of how a saturated RPG market will deter Blizzard releasing Diablo 3, anymore flawed.
Finally, burn the D2 expansion JonEire, as an offering to the Gods of SC!
Who the hell said any thing about a MMORPG... jesus maybe blizzard has designed D3 to be the first ever FPS MMO hack/slash game. Where left clicking to bring you shield up to you face could mean the mattter of life and death.
You dont know what blizzard has for D3 jesus they could do so manyt hings...
Look at SC2 i image it being like planet side if it s MMO. With different worlds to take over and shait.

sorry guys i think were all waiting for something that will never happen (diablo 3) not a hater cause trust me i'd much rather see d3 over starcraft 2 even though im a fan of both i just think rts games are playd out.

bu since Blizzard has purchased Starcraft2.com, and not Diablo3.com i think SCII might be the more logical of the two games, but thats not to say they wont annouce SCII on may 19th then annouce DIII at a later stage.

I know what you mean... I just wanted to point out that just because they do not own the domain doesn't mean it won't be announced. However, I am in agreement that Starcraft 2 appears to be the most likely announcement.

That's my logic, though I suppose it could be an elaborate joke to keep people guessing, but what I was pointing out was that they don't always buy the domains of games they release. Domains like www.starcraft.com and www.warcraft3.com are not owned by blizzard, so just because they own www.starcraft2.com doesn't guarantee an announcement, just makes it seem more likely.
You're right though that whatever game is announced will get an official page at either www.battle.net/ and/or www.blizzard.com/ but I'm sure they won't post a page there until AFTER the announcement.
Ok well I personally think it will be Diablo 3 because of all the staff that has been hired to work on it and because there has been much tradmark activity in the diablo name over the last couple months.
It is noteable however that the starcraft 2 domain was bought by Blizzard and there has been no knowledge of anything of the sort for a Diablo 3.
Basically it could go either way.
However since many people here have been mentioning that there might be some announcment of another new game at E3 this is impossible. If you go to the E3 site (http://www.e3expo.com/login/login.aspx?redirect=%2fIndex.aspx) then you will notice that it is now called E3 Media and Business summit. Basically E3 is now a private meeting of developers held in private hotel rooms to discuss business tactics. A few "featured games" will be chown but that is it. E3 is no longer the big game show it was before! (which sucks by the way)
Also note that all companies that would normally go to E3 have been invited to participate in the Tokyo Game Show instead (which isn't as good as E3 was but o well).

it has been almost 10 years without another SC game, so a new one is long overdue. 6 years without another Diablo game. i want both of these games so im willing to wait for them.

kinda what i was thinking. Blizzard seems to pick up quite a few d3 websites but not this one, what were they uh.. diablo3.net diablo3.com.au or something like that.
Just out of curiosity did anyone here play or try dungeon siege 2? I don't want to come across as some sort of traitor but if you love the play-style of Diablo 2 + exp etc then i think you'll love dungeon siege 2. I love Diablo2, always have and i spend years trading and playing on the european server. The only downside to dungeon siege is the fact that your better off playing it offline as the net code is a bit of a joke. Still its a worth while hack n slash fix until D3
played the first one, never got around to the second one.

well, your reasoning is not very solid, and sometimes when you type something in in the url box, it leads you to different domain names, and I imagine something like that would be affiliated with blizzard anyway. this site was made far before, I imagine, they even had plans for diablo 3, so they wouldnt attempt to buy it anyway. and others are correct, the address would have been http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft2/
or http://www.blizzard.com/sc2/ or http://www.blizzard.com/scII/ or soemthing along those lines- plus I bet they HAVE a page setup, they just havent added it to website directory, and I bet if you tested alot of different web urls linking to blizaard you could find it- google wont work because it will have a different title to keep it secret...
but seriously, your reasoning sucks, and I think D3 will be announced as well as starcraft. after all, WC3 and D2 came out around the same times.
AND, not "alot" of the Diablo team left- a few people joined up with others, but a majority of the team still works for blizzard, they just relocated. I'm almost certain Diablo will continue, and you are just an idiot. Blizzard would never just end diablo right here and now, especially with all the costumer anticipation, all the fan sites and whatnot- You obviously are talking out of your ass, and you obviously dont like diablo, much less any other games I imagine, so just shut the fuck up, and stop blowing words out of your ass, smartshit

Good post.
Ok, I've been quietly following these forums more than I like to admit, and also do a diablo 3 search more than I would like to admit as well, but here's my thoughts from all the sifting of info. If I remember correctly, Blizzard plans on making 3 major announcements this year. I have come to the conclusion that the 3 games are sc2, diabl3, and new title. The only major pisser I can see happening would be sc2, wow on xbox, and new title, but I highly doubt that anyhow based on all the info coming out in the last 3 months or so. As for the announcement coming up overseas, I strongly believe it will be a SC2 either RTS or MMO. I also believe that D3 will be announced in Aug at Blizzcon. I however have no freakin clue on their third announcement, but who the hell cares. Just my thoughts on everything, and Its nice to know I'm probably not the only one who feels like the actual news of D3's release will almost be as satisfying as the game....hopefully. I look forward to checking this site and doing my next search in about....15 min
(I sure wish they would release a D2 patch these days:rolleyes: )
Newho... I've been playing Diablo I, II, and III on and off since my middle school days.. and im not in college.. so if Blizz doesn't release a D3, MMO or not, I'm gonna frikkin flip!!
