Personally I wish they'd announced Diablo 3 instead, but hey ho, whatchagonnado?
oh ma gawsh oh ma gawsh oh ma gawsh~ OH MA GAWSH~~~
How many people are actually surprised that it was Starcraft 2 they announced? I'm not in the least, but I am extremely happy. :D
It was pretty much a given when we found out it was being announced in Korea.
Super excited though. I loved the first game, and can't wait to try out this one. Looks like they're sticking pretty close to the original as well, which is only a plus in my book.
I WANT MY DIABLO 3. :(
Want. Want much.
In time.Quote:

yes this is amazing news...i will need a new computer!
diablo 3 is something i've been pining for for a long, long, long time too and if they actually release said game as well....well blizzard is already my favourite developer, but i might just have to propose marriage.
Quoted for truth.Quote:

"thank god for Cold Fusion"
StarCraft II
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
FWEE! SC2! *glee*
now, if they include or incorporate DOW/COH gameplay, i will die of glee
We'll finally have Heroes in Starcraft, e.g. Protoss mothership.=D I just wonder if they'll also get level-ups...
Jim Raynor = God
Zeratul = God
Kerrigan = fail
The Protoss Mothership doesn't really strike me as a "Hero" unit. Yeah, it's really powerful and you can only have one of them, but usually the heroes are specific units, while the mothership just seems to be a general use unit.Quote:

Seems like the mothership is either a special unit, or another along the lines of Carrier or BC.
Heroes would probably have realistic skills.
However, I am far more concerned with the map editor. SC's wasn't too powerful, but it was easy to use, making it arguably as useful as WCIII, since you have to sift through all of the commands.
Good-bye life, I knew ye well.
I wish to make love to Zeratul.
I've already re-installed SC and began to play single-player. I can't find my Brood War disc though. D:

Real Time Strategy doesn't translate very well to console.
I couldn't imagine playing Starcraft 2 on anything other than PC.
The n64 version of the original was awful.Quote:

The Korean aspect made Starcraft 2 painfully obvious; if anything else had been announced then the poor Blizzard employees would have been murdered, raped and had their entrails used as jewelery. If they were very lucky, it would have happened in that order too.
I would have thought it to be obvious. You couldn't pay me to play an RTS designed for the PC on a console.Quote:

Koreans play Starcraft like it's a sport, imagine the angry response if the Super Bowl was cancelled and the angry beer-fuelled riots of American Football fans.Quote:

Also, Blizzard MMO style is too easy in comparison to the kind that Koreans love.
I wish they did publish Ghost though or at least open sourced the code...:(
Splinter Cell/Thief/MGS in StarCraft universe would've been great.:crying:
Last I saw of Ghost, it was a vile run-and-gun affair, rather than a tension-fueled psychic stealth epic.
Hmm... well, it looked like one to me.Quote:

Except that Ghost wouldn't be a big announcement at this point having gone through the hands of at least two developers, and a couple of revisions. Blizzard have also said in the past that they don't want to be known as an MMO company only, making a Starcraft MMO unlikely (at least as far as this announcement was concerned).Quote:

I really think it's a pity that they just dump the games though. If you look at Ghost, it does have a look of an alpha-test already. Smooth animation, special moves, prerendered intro, a large number of levels and so forth. I doubt that it'll ever come out for the 7th gen. consoles, but just rust somewhere in the archives. :(
I jumped with glee. Me and my friend were thinking about our lan parties we had in 5th grade. This is going to be cool.
If I remember correctly, I believe they just said that Ghost was on hold until they could find a suitable developer. Now that probably means that best case scenario, they find someone else to develop it and they have to start from scratch, but they didn't say they were abandoning it completely. I suppose there's some hope there (though not much obviously), but who can say for sure. I definitely agree that they're going for quality, and as much as it sucks to have good concepts shelved for who knows how long, it's nice to see a company with those kinds of standards. I can think of a few others that could learn a lot from them in that regard.Quote:
