According to IGN, Blizzard is contemplating a Starcraft sequal for real.
…another little nugget of gold dropped alongside it with the public admission that Itzik Ben Bassat, Vice President Business Development and International for Blizzard Entertainment, would be keen to see a new StarCraft before too long.
On stage in London for the game launch, Bassat stated, “I’m a StarCraft player myself and I hope it’s not a decade, and we launched StarCraft in 1998, before I’m standing here again, celebrating the next game in the series.”
During another previous interview, Paul Sams (Blizzard’s COO) said that in 2007 they’ll have 3 (three) product announcements. If we consider that the Burning Crusade has been one, we’re left with two.
Could it be that our wildest dreams will become true? Both Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 will be announced soon?
Update: IGN has a rumor that a Starcraft 2 beta will be out by the year end.
Note: A StarCraft 2 wiki and a Diablo 3 wiki have just been setup.
Look I play both franchises and I am looking forward too both but the thing is that i am looking forward to Starcraft 2 more so why the fuck do u keeping bashing and Im not just talking about Diablo fans just stop bashing everyone has there own personal taste and everyone should respect that so if there are any bashers here fuck off. Starcraft is the bigger franchise but that doesn’t mean that Diablo is shit. RTS’ like Starcraft are played less in western countries and RPG’s are played more so I believe Starcraft is bigger in places like Korea. Anyway just FUCK OFF if you’re going to say “ohh diablo is shit its a piece of fuck how can you be playing it” or “dude wth is wrong with you diablo fucking pwns starcraft” go away both franchises are good in there own way and they’re completely different genres so you can’t really judge fairly on this some people like Starcraft some like Diablo but if you dont think that’s true go, just go.
SC is STILL played everyday by hundreds of thousands of people. Diablo is a single player no brainer that only some very sick individuals still play. Cmon blizzard release SC2 already, i dont give a fuck whatever happens with diablo as long as SC2 isnt a second priority.
