From Gamers.com:

It's for a console. And it's a Metal Gear Solid style game.

Got your interest piqued?

So, I have already lost all interest.

:disgust:

 

[Fausto]

I'm confused. It's supposedly a console game and yet the URL is www.starcraft2.com?

 

[JawaJedi]

Its not just for Starcraft2.com, all the Blizzard sites are counting down, Warcraft.com for example.

 

[rgwalt]

Next couple of messages at Warcraft.org are:

Is Proud to Announce

Rock and Roll Racing II

I have no way of verifying these messages of course. If they are true, it is quite a piece of misdirection...

Ryan

EDIT: Next message is "Just Kidding". Less than 4 hours to go.

 

[bonk102]

i cant' wait to see what this is

 

[piku]

ENTERTAINMENT IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE ROCK AND ROLL RACING II JUST KIDDING NOT MUCH LONGER NOW

Boooo! I want Rock and Roll Racing II!

 

[rgwalt]

Next message will be displayed on warcraft.org at the hour roll-over point. They can hack the java script to strip out the message, but the script only changes every hour.

...

Ryan

 

[rgwalt]

New message:

YOU CALLED DOWN THE THUNDER NOW REAP THE WHIRLWIND

Drool...

Ryan

 

[Vortex22]

When do the messages appear? I'm confused... it just went from like 2:00:07 and reloaded to 1:57:45 and I didn't see anything.

 

[JellyBaby]

It's not StarCraft 2.

And btw you're all hype sponges.

 

[bonk102]

yeah, this'll probly be a fps for the cube, which i dont have, so i dont care anymore, there goes my anticipation

 

[rgwalt]

Last message is...

GHOST REPORTING

Check back in less than an hour for the final announcement.

Ryan

Interesting indeed. However, if that was the web site of the game they were launching tonight surely it would be ready to go as soon as the title is announced, but its still sitting at a Register.com placeholder. As DNS servers take a day at least to update, they obviously don't intend that to go live anytime soon.

Blizzard is a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal Publishing.

CNNMoney had an article that Vivendi has no intention of selling any pieces of Vivendi Universal Publishing other than Houghton Mifflin.

Microsoft does not own Blizzard.

 

[LH]

When was the article?

Because Vivendi has major debt issues. From the September 5 article on CNN Money

Reuters reported Thursday that Paris-based Vivendi may sell other publishing assets in addition to Houghton Mifflin, which the company already plans to unload.

They are selling it. When and to Who. Only VU can say.

 

[Eleron]
