At Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational in Korea, they have just announced that their next game will be...
STARCRAFT 2!!!
Sorry everybody, it's not Diablo 3, but one thing we Blizzard fans are used to is WAITING. Diablo 3 will happen, in the meantime, let's all enjoy the Starcraft 2 news because Starcraft was one hell of a good game.
Big thanks to all of our faithful forum members who've been following the story over the past week!
Should be locked.
This was an announcemnt countdown thread. Not a Starcraft 2 thread.
Announcemnt has been delivered, lock the thread. These people can bring their insights over to the starcraft forums.
If you have D3 information by all means, this is the place... but lock this thread regaurdless
Ok, I'm going to be completely honest and say that I did not read anyhting in this thread, because I figured most of it would turn into flaming anyway.
What I do want to say is that it's interesting to see how many posts have appeared here in just one day, not to mention the other two threads in the news section.
Someone has probably already noted the previous effect though, and as such my post will be completely useless except for the fact that is will be contributing to previously mentioned phenomenon, in which case, if most people think similarly, the number of posts are not very impressive, because they are only stating the same fact over and over again as I am if my prediction is true.
Yeah i figured id try to but in and knock some sence into them... I couldnt decide to go with a stick or a hammer...
Went with the stick. =)
Diablo 3 Developer: Blizzard Publisher: Blizzard What Was Promised
The quintessential dungeon-crawler has devoured hundreds of hours from the lives of gamers. Considering the success of Diablo, it was a no-brainer that the title would see a third installment at some point in the future. It has been more than six years since the release of Diablo II and Blizzard remains relatively quiet about the future of the franchise. Rumors over the past year hint that Diablo 3 could be another MMO. Blizzard has announced that it is working on a new MMO, and said it would be quite different from WOW. It's not clear, however, if the upcoming MMO is a new IP or based on either the Diablo or StarCraft universe. Where It Stands
Don't fret, another Diablo game is in the hopper. This according to numerous high-ranking executives at Blizzard who have, over the past six months, assured in various interviews that the Diablo series would live on. It began at the German Games Convention in 2006, when Blizzard COO Paul Sims assured fans that the company's popular franchise had not been forgotten. "As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise," Sims told IGN.
However, don't get too excited. As Blizzard VP Itzik Ben Bassat recently told the crowd at a London WOW: The Burning Crusade launch event, " We cannot wait to be here in a few years, or however long it will be" to announce Diablo 3. "It's won't be a decade," he promised. Meaning either that Diablo 3 would be out by 2010 (ten years after the release of Diablo 2) or that it would be out by 2017, within ten years of the WOW expansion launch. But hey, at least it's coming!
So they havent even brought Diablo III up? Rarely Blizzard Hosts an event like this. There has to be a small Diablo Area at that place, with one guy there. Go ask him something!
Seriously, they avoid it, i'ts strange. Diablo isn't a one and done trophy to put up on the shelf. If your not going to do anything with it. Sell the name to somewhere else you greedy fucks.
we all feel that man but that doesnt change anything sadly.. "I could say you know Im going to rape your mother"... But theres no reason because its past.
Why do you think of Diablo first when Blizzard is mentioned when they put out 3 REIDICULOUSLY successful games and 2 moderately successful games before it?
Simply Because I never took a likeing to them.

I agree, This would have been more than "slightly" in 2002 up too maybee late 2004..
Same Idea/Theoretical Engine/Gameplay Implementation.
Better Graphics/ Some Updated Technology.
For a video game like this to be released Late 2007 Early 2008. Blizzard should be ashamed.
Have fun Starcraft 2 Fans =)
