Quote from "StarDuster" »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!
Quote from "FingolfinGR" »WoW gets more and more interesting as you advance. Especially adter 50 and even more at 70. I got 2 level 70 characters so far and with my mage i do end-game. Its by far more interesting than the simple grind there is in Diablo 2 right now. If you got 70 and found a decent end-game guild u'd most likely find it way more interesting too.
Quote from "Doppelganger" »when i'm really bored i do them too (and you do get "better" at them wich doesnt mean your getting smarter), but you have to pay to get the certificate of them wich is stupid cause it isnt worth anything (who the hell would pay for that?)
Yes you did, but there is still little to no proof that any title coming up will make it to any platform game. Blizzard was on the table before for a platform designed game called, "Starcraft Ghost."
The game was, "supposidly" postponed indefinitely. Insider information- ..Starcraft Ghost was haulted after programmers back themselves into a corner with a faulty engine. The project was later continued from scratch by a partially new development team.
In 2006, Blizzard announced that it would be indefinitely be postponed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft:_Ghost
This project was placed on the burner but is not out of the minds of personnel.
Let me point out that Wikipedia has the best info for stuff. =D
"On May 16, 2005, Blizzard Entertainment acquired Swingin' Ape Studios." - Which means Blizzard reowns everything that was contracted out to Starcraft Ghost. What happens when you give a project you want done to someone else and it doesn't get done?
I know what I do, I do it myself.
I have the highest hopes for Diablo 3 like the rest of you.
But you might be getting a Console MMO FPS with Single Player and Multiplayer, where you can level your character for certs. Might be space based. Who knows!?
Anyone here a fan of Planetside? (All rights reserved by SoE, Sony Online Entertainment.)
Quote from "goodguy8705" »You have bad grammar and SAT scores don't mean shit. Grades are the worst representation of how smart someone is.
I'm going to go have dinner. I'll back later to counter all your stupid replies. Start a new thread for the goodguy bashing and I'll prove to all of you that I'm smarter than you.
Quote from "Col" »Joining in the discussion a little late, but I'm leaning strongly towards a Starcraft MMORTS. The comments that the next MMO will "not be another WoW", it would appeal to a different market (however different the games are, Diablo 3 would steal lots of WoW subscriptions), and an MMO will keep the cash coming in for Blizzard.
There is currently a distinct gap in the popular MMORTS titles (DreamLords is reasonably popular, but not massively - pun intended), which a fully online Starcraft would fit into nicely.
I really hope I'm wrong, and that Diablo 3 will be the title announced (I was never a fan of Starcraft), but I think IF the announcement is for Starcraft, it will almost certainly go down the MMORTS route.

I cannot name my sources, in fear of being fired. Thats why I stated rumored. If you want where the rumor originated, do a search for blizzcon 2006, forums and IRC chat channels. You can cruise through information from participating game development companies.
I am not going to do all the work for ya

This was the information on Starcraft Ghost
Blizzard has sat in on a contract with microsoft. It is not known if a deal was made for a 7th generation game.
Why would they do this and buy back the rights to this game if they didn't plan on redoing it bigger and better?
1st person shooter for Starcraft is huge, especially with Microsoft wanting to develop XBOX Live servers and features in other countries than USA and Canada.
It was rumored that Microsoft will be present at WWI. I wonder why

I would like to see where you got your info..
The only information about Starcraft Ghost from blizzard was, Postponed indefinately.
They never said they would not attempt the product at a later date.
They have since bought back the rights for Starcraft Ghost. They absolutely can and probably will release a newer version to what Blizzard North and Swingin' Ape Studios made.

Correct, but he asked for the Origin. My fault is I didn't explain where it came from in WoW. But I thought that was obvious, my bad.

It was a quote from originally Warcraft II. Drums of war is just exactly what it says, Drums of War. A drum in war time was something loud enough the entire army could hear it, and march with the drum to stay in stride going into battle. They could also use it to count for how long each fight was on the front line. Roman Legionaires would only fight up to 1 minute on the front line before falling to the back line of the battalion.

Who said anything about them being one and the same? They said they were releasing a new title. They have not said what it was for (PC, Console).
All am saying is, that my opinion is, that it will be Starcraft Ghost. Followed by a release announcement for Diablo 3, in june.
Project Medusa, could be have been code name for Ghost since the project has so many haults. (Meaning turned to stone.)
