Starcraft 2 is inevitable, it would be lunacy to not make it. Hopefully sometime this decade.

SC II and World of Starcraft!

If there was a World of Starcraft and a World of Warcraft going on at the same time...
Real Life wouldn't exist!

I remember C&C Renegade, Westwood Studios putting their RTS into FPS.

I loved it, single player was enjoyable and the multiplayer was absolutely awesome.

Star Craft in an FPS would be pretty cool too. You have the more technologically adept Protoss, the classical generic human showing (Terran) and the Starship Troopers-esque Zerg. That kind of diversity could make such an FPS really great.

As for Hellgate: London, Diablo isnt an FPS series and it isnt Diablo3.... even if it is made by a significant proportion of Diablo's team. The concept is pretty cool and could be Painkiller-style brutal but the problem with the non-generic shooters is that most of them tend to be crap or under-rated/overlooked.

Warcraft in RTS-form seems to have came as far as it can really I think. More story-line might be fun but graphically its nice not much they can add/take away to make it significantly better.

Id like to see SC with a decent gfx makeover or a really well made SC FPS. Perhaps Blizzard will pull a C&C on us and do a more tradtional warfare RTS, since they have Fantasy and Sci-Fi bases covered quite well.

Something completely different. I want them to bring something new and untested to the field, new concepts and gameplay. Not rehashing old classics.

World of Diablo.

WoW != Diablo 3.

Diablo is dark and bruding comparatively. Don't get me wrong, WoW is a great game but I would much prefer the atmosphere and art direction of Diablo.

Exactly. WoW would be nothing compared to Diablo 3.

It does, if its got the name "warcraft" in it somwhere, its evil! and counts as a game.

I think that would be a bad move, having 2 competing games - WOW & WOS....My vote is for SC II

Check out StarCraft Revolutions. SC on the WC3 engine.

SC2, continuation of the storyline. :)

StarCraft with a new engine that can play at high resolution. *NOT* the WC3 3d engine, which in my opinion was pretty ugly. Just a nice graphical update, maybe with a few new units/techs thrown in...

I'm opposed to Starcraft 2 as I know Blizzard will screw it up like they did with Warcraft 3.

Starcraft ghost is on the way...

It would be really cool to see something totally new and unexpected.

i really like the idea of a starcraft fps, but im not sure blizzard would do it right. if they gave the rights to another company, and watched over it carefully...
but if they do make a starcraft II, even if its not as good as the original, it would likely have some good eyecandy, and would most likely still be really good.
