Blizzard to start new RTS project?

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6155152.html

Apparently so. According to the article, Blizzard's looking to hire level designers familiar with 3D real-time strategy in mind, listing Rise of Legends, Command and Conquer, and (duh) Warcraft III as examples. So obviously, this could be Starcraft II, Warcraft IV (although doubtfully, considering that there's enough Warcraft right now to go around the world), or a new project, which is unlikely considering the fanbase that would pay for Starcraft II.

Thoughts?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gech, yeah I know it isn't. I just haven't gotten around to changing it yet. I'll probably go back to my old ava/sig...right now, actually.

I doubt they're gonna finish Ghost. Ever. It was an interesting take on Starcraft though, for sure.

How ya doing, buddy?

It just may be. According to this article, Blizzard's now shifting their strategy by moving their developers from consoles back (?) to the PC. No World of Warcraft on my PS3?

Most amazing jew boots

Or "constructive terrorism" as per your case. But see, you are the physical manifestation of (likely) why Blizzard hasn't started on Starcraft 2 yet. I think developers need room for error, but this game's fanbase is a fair bit out of control, and anything less than a quadruple-A title will be ravaged by angry hate-mail, criticisms and denouncements from fans, and downright shunning of the game...

...even with the massive sales it'd generate. But honestly, I think Blizzard's the type of company who, even if the game breaks sales records, they'd be ashamed if their fans didn't approve of it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't think Starcraft: Ghost was ever a Nintendo 64 project. There were complaints that Ghost on the PS2 looked an awful lot like it was created for the 64 though.

I was speaking idiomatically.
