[PC] (StarCraft 2) Apparently Blizzard Still Makes Games!

Right, I'm not sure if it's worth making a thread, but since there isn't one and Blizzard doesn't exactly unveil new games too often, I figured I might point this out:

A splash screen. They do this when they're about to release new games. 2 days ago it was Warcraft and Warcraft II, then it was Diablo, and now it's Starcraft. So on the seventh day we'll know what they're going to release in five years.

Speculation, excitement and drooling can go in this thread.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, it's essentially a given that this has to do with Starcraft. They're going to announce it at a pro-gamer tournament in Korea if what I've heard is correct. If they were to announce anything but Starcraft, they wouldn't make it out of the building alive.

That said, what this will actually be is open for debate. A new RTS is the prime candidate, they're still getting a shitload of cash out of WoW, and a Starcraft MMORPG would only eat at their current customer base. Of course it could end up being a type of game Blizzard usually doesn't do.

My fantasy right now is some sort of Starcraft MMORTS. But a regular RTS called Starcraft 2 will do fine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Great, now I'm feeling like shit at the thought of no more Dungeon Keeper games and Westwood being gone. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm somewhat surprised at the amount of negative comments so far. I can see where it comes from, but I'm still going to wait before they announce what they're making before starting to criticize them. I mean really, I usually dislike it when people whine about games that aren't even out yet, but doing it when the game hasn't been announced is a whole new level.

Or maybe I'm the one who's just hopelessly optimistic. But all I'm hoping for is for people to spontaneously combust if they so much as catch a glimpse of Starcraft 2's radiance.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

To all the people hoping for a new Diablo, fuck you. You guys got Diablo II in 2000, I'm still waiting for Starcraft 2 after nearly 10 motherfucking years. That's a decade. A tenth of a goddamn century. So I think it's time for a sequel.

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

OR you actually conquer an entire planet in the name of the swarm, which would be pretty damn fun if done correctly...

In any case, if it's Starcraft and it's a RTS, I should be happy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

At long last! Lord Cthulhu be praised!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm hoping Blizzard gets an english version out eventually, by which I mean by tomorrow morning.

EDIT: Hahaha, just spotted an ad for "Nuke cola" in one of the screenshots.

FELIPE NO

The Terrans have their own "ultimate unit". It's called the nuke.

I mean, neither the Zerg or Protoss had anything like it in the original, right?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
