Quote from "Blazur" »

I was so disappointed when I heard Ghost was going to be for the consoles. Hopefully they don't even consider next-gen consoles for their games. Computers are the way to go!

Ohh... please don't go that far Blazur. Please alter your hopes to:

"I was so disappointed when I heard Ghost was going to be for the consoles. Hopefully they don't even consider next-gen console exclusives for their games. Computers are the way to go!"

That way people can play on PC and next-gen consoles! I agree that Blizzard should focus on PC games because they do an awesome job at it. However, I'd love to see ports of thier titles to some of the next-gen consoles.

I don't think my mind could handle that...it would probably just shutdown.

I would be dissapointed. However it might finally make me purchase a Wii instead of playing on friends...but I doubt it.

Man this suspense is killing me...I wish somebody would leak some official details soon! I really hope we don't have to wait until 3am tomorrow to find out.

I really think you guys are reading too much into the patern of game announcements. If anything the words may lead to some sort of clue, but analyzing the order of the games seems like folly because it's not like that's gonna influence their next game. If anything, you should look at what universes have received the least attention.

The pattern shows that StarCraft not only has recieved the least attention, but is the next in the pattern. It's the best of both worlds!

On another note, you wanted details of the officials leaking... so here it is:

*Stake-out*
3:03 AM - Broom closet getting cramped, not sure when he is going to take a break.
5:07 AM - I seemed to have dozed off... official still working feverishly. No sign of stopping.
9:57 AM - I peaked out of the closet for a brief moment. It appears that I will get my moment soon as he has went into screensaver mode.
10:11 AM - He has finally left the room, I get my moment! Here we go...
After a quick sprint down the hallway he unzips before even entering the bathroom. At exactly 10:13:21 he finishes and zips back up. He decides to skip washing his hands and makes his way back to the dev-room.

Remember, you heard it here first!

"Stay awhile and listen.

In the age of chaos, two factions battled for dominance. Like fools we clung to old hatreds and fought as we had for generations... Until the day they sky rained fire and a new enemy came upon us. [Saying] "I am the Queen of Blades and my stare alone would reduce you to ashes."

Now United in arms with new allies against the common foe, mankind stands at the shores of destiny and waits the coming of the tides of darkness. [But] know this my friend - The evil that you move against is the dark lord of terror."

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*

Well... the WoW quote was posted, lets see where it looks like it should fit.

"Stay awhile and listen.

Now United in arms with new allies against the common foe, mankind stands at the shores of destiny and waits the coming of the tides of darkness.

The Drums of war thunder once again. [But] know this my friend - The evil that you move against is the dark lord of terror."


New Order:
Diablo
WarCraft
WarCraft III
StarCraft
WarCraft II
Word of WarCraft
Diablo II

ZOMG it fit! D/W/W/S/W/W/D! StarCraft is coming! /end sarcasm







Just to make this clear, I'm not trying to guess which title is coming. I'm just passing time and having fun til it is announced. However... I can clearly hear Cain reading this paragraph. I think this is a problem from me playing to much Diablo over the years tho. Also, where is that Pokemon music coming from? Shut it off...SHUT IT OFF! It burns...

Blizzard's web deisgner for Korea's site makes great fucking web designs.

Yeah, to bad I can't read what it all says.

I've been looking forward to this title for awhile. From what I've seen so far, the game looks very promising. Not to mention 360 RPG with online play... I've been wanting that for a very long time.

Quote from "Chisto_Dex" »

I saw this and thought it was interesting. Still just rumor but interesting...

http://www.megagames.com/news/html/pc/wowexpansion-diablo3demo.shtml

Just thought that I'd point out that that link is from 2005. Oh, and the last paragraph at the bottom makes me laugh (WoW on 360). I'd probably play it if it did come to 360... but Blizzard denied it, many times. Again, very old info.

Quote from "Doppelganger" »

i'm trying to fidle (is that even a word? lol) around with the url, but nothing apart from the "image not found" or something link is found.

Haha, good luck with that. I had a program going through a dictionary (with added Diablo, WarCraft, and StarCraft terms) trying a bunch of stuff for a possible url that was posted but hidden... to no avail.

Anyway, good luck! =P

Just because www.starcraft2.com leads to the splash screen means nothing, same for www.diablo.com. Why you ask? It's because they all use the same index page. www.blizzard.com/index.shtml. When you click the link however it takes you to the actual Blizzard homepage. Notice the name in our url bar: www.blizzard.com/index2.shtml.

I point this out because www.what-ever.com/index is the first page you see when bringing up a webpage. Unless of course you click another link or otherwise bypass this page.

Diablo 3, the nice version:

*30 minute blizzard cutscene*

Hero: "Hello good sir, would you please stop torturing the local townsfolk so that we may live in peace."

Villian: "Why yes, since you asked so nicely I will do so."

*Hero and Villian hug*

*30 minute blizzard cutscene*


Hell... I know some people who would still buy it. Blizzard cutscenes are awesome!

OMG!!! The 19th is a Saturday. The 3rd letter in Saturday is a 't' and thats the same letter that Terran starts with!!! Holy shit. I'm a genius.

That part made me laugh a little... Reminds me of the Square-Enix Garden Party the other day when they asked which Final Fantasy would they rather see remade for PS3... an hour later there was "Official confirmation that Final Fantasy VII is being remade for PS3" threads everywhere.

Wow... this is sad.

I will not be posting again in this thread following this post. Apparently being a video game programmer, Microsoft certified technician, and being well informed and willing to admit the flaws in all of the current-gen systems and the companies buisness practices and/or past history is not welcome.

I see post making sure to point out the flaws of the Playstation 3 while at the same time neglecting to mention the flaws of their favorite system. I can not and will not waste my energy discussing systems with people who have already decided which system they bleave is better.

Why is thread even named "PS3 vs Xbox360"? It should be named something like "Xbox360 = best console" with the type of mentality from some of the post I see in this thread...

Regardless... I am done here, Good day sir.
