Wait a minute... there is no starcraft 2 coming out or even announced. Are you talking about any game idea at all? Or officially announced games?
Perhaps he's talking about Starcraft: Ghost?

No, Blizzard mentioned they were making a SC2 a while ago. Probably after WoW comes out.

after it's delayed another ten billion years...

You couldn't pay me to play SG.

I don't think ANYONE cares about StarCraft: Ghost, Korean or not.

And StarCraft2 is way down the horizon, people are not even expecting it right now. Blizzard is currently very busy with World of Warcraft Beta and its finalization + WarCraft Frozen Throne's continuous balancing + StarCraft: Ghost.

I can take a pretty educated guess that WOW will probably come out around this time next year and about 2-3 months later, StarCraft 2 will be announced. And give it a good 2-3 years of delays and delays, SC2 will finally come out around 2nd quarter of 2007... just like previous Blizzard titles...

Mark my words, I bet I'm right.

I would have to say, Half Life 2

Advent Children is the movie. They've actually considered making a FFVII-2 but feel it would be an injustice to the original game. OH wells.

blizzard north is currently working on an action rpg; title not announced yet. It's NOT d3.


edit: everyone is dead in d2 btw...there can't be a sequal. all the worldstones are destroyed. bliz would have to make up some lame story about how a lesser evil came back or something (like andy, meph, duriel) and would rule.

you think when blizzard is running low on funds, they wont revisit the most popular RTS game in the world a second time to make some money?


thats bad business.


no its not officially announced...yes it WILL come out eventually...if not sc2 then a new RTS game from blizzard set in the future.

First, they won't wait till they are running low on funds.
Second, how do you KNOW it WILL come out? Stuff happens all the time in businesses... look at the Fallout shenanigans. The game was prettymuch complete, then they just canned it. Hell it could end up being the eternal vaporware like DNF is. They'll have a pretty big legacy to live up to, so they may end up spending years just polishing the game.

In the world of video games, especially one as plotless as the diablo series, I don't think many people would care if they made up a lame way to fix the story :)

What?! There was a plot to Diablo II? I thought the whole point of the game was to kill as much sh!t as possible?

How is it that no one....NO ONE has mentioned Halo2. Come on, XBox gamers are salivating waiting for this title.

Just throwing out some thoughts....

Metroid Prime (Metroid for the new gaming generation, it sold like crazy)
Halo 2 (It sure is getting a lot of hype in gaming magazines)
Quake 2 (the original quake was huge, there was massive hype for the sequel, which ended up sucking in comparison)
EQ 2 (The fanbase of EQ is massive, and while many quit, I'm sure there are tons that are waiting to throw more money at verant)
Doom 3 (The original doom _still_ has a community and now they are coming out with one for a new generation)
Half Life 2 (Massive game, Massive sequel, Massive hype)
Duke Nukem Forever (Original Duke3d was extremely fun / popular... but it became a joke after it turned into vaporware)

I'm sure there are others, hard to really figure out which would come out on top.

Battlefield: Vietnam.
At least for me.

But yeah, I'd say HL2 is definitely the most anticipated overall. Mainly for the hope of a Counter Strike 2.

That was exactly what I thought first. StarCraft 2. But, I am an RTS type of Guy. I would like to see Doom3 as well.
