What are Blizzard up to ?

Oh god no I wasn't suggesting Warcraft was original but as a brand and IP with all the characters it has done stupidly well, better than most fantasy franchises.

As most people say its probs going to be MMO of Starcraft. It will be like plastic gold!

if they make it INTERESTING (i.e. not WoW in space), they could well have me hooked

there's a shortage of decent non-fantasy MMOs

The suggestion of Starcraft 2 had 10,000 Korean's spontaneously reaching climax. Several hundred had to be hospitalised. Eye witnesses are quoted as saying "There was an almighty cry of KEKEKEKEKEKE! and the sound of a thousand banana's being peeled very rapidly."

On a serious note, I'd like to see Starcraft 2.

[e-LAN-go]

they were in korea

the trailer vid had computer consoles written in hangul, and a dude speaking in korean

was diablo ever on the cards?

[Skaramush]

i believe they arent doing diablo 3 cause the folks who left blizz about to release london hellgate which is supposed to be a game in the spirit of diablo if not in name and setting.

the most recent of those was a good ten years ago

and i'm not sure anyone can call warcraft "original" with straight face

good, sure, but not exactly original

I wouldn't really call any of those original really. If it's one thing Blizzard do well, it's ripping off ideas.

south korea will grind to a halt when this gets released, cant wait.

[Jumpinbeans]

looked at the videos of the game on youtube.......not that impressed tbh. Sure they have the nice franchise and a solid foundation to build on........it just looks very dated.

More a high res update of the game with a few extra new units.

First impression - average

[Veles]

Blizzard aren't really been about pushing graphical boundaries, they kept WoW simple so a larger audience could play the game, which I'm sure is why this one doesn't look so good.

Tis a bit retarded sometimes, for example, the sims 2, game that the average family wants to buy, the game the average family can't play because their integrated intel graphics aren't good enough.
