This would mean that beta is right around the corner? Beta needs to be atleast 2-3 months I'd think... If not more.

As far as waiting to release sc2 for reasons such as further balancing and tweaking, the best way to figure this out is to release it. Once released there can then be further adjustments made based on user input and patches released. I know this might start with a sc that is a little rough but I also think that It will make the game better and more specific to gamer opinions, creating a better more solid game in the long run, and let's face it when sc1 has been around as long as it has I would think that the long run is more important.

This is certainly earlier than I was expecting to see a release date, but if its true I can't help but be excited. That being said, no matter what the corporate types want blizzard is known to take their time with betas, so I kind of doubt we see it that early.

That's not even enough time to get good at BW

Mid August......... 2009 I think ;< .
To be honest I didn't expect this to be out before next year. I will have untrusting feelings towards this game if it's get released before Christmas this year... it just seems so unpolished to be released so early.

I'm almost 100% certain there will be delays and we won't see it until next year.

I should be excited, but seeing as how the news came from the CEO of the parent company and not Blizzard themselves, Im gonna hold that enthusiasm until its really official.

Unless Vivendi ruins everything, which I hope they won't, Blizzard has a history of releasing games that don't need stellar hardware. Then again, I guess I don't know how old your stuff is.

Case in point, I fear Vivendi.

Edit: Ok, late, I wrote Activision instead of Vivendi. I fear Activision too, though.

When I first heard of SC2, I was so damn excited. Now, I'm kind of scared of what will happen to BW after the release. I just got into progaming a few months ago... is it going to over that soon?

Quit worrying, guys! We all know that Blizzard always releases shitty, unbalanced pieces of buggered eyefuck. After a while they'll patch it to a playable state later in the expansion pack.

Starcraft 2 will likely bring a totally new era to pro-gaming. It hasn't even begun if SC2 can truly live up to BW.

Roughly Translated:

The follow-up game to the online "Starcraft" looks to debut this July or August at the earliest.

Bruce Hack, a representative of Blizzard Entertainment's parent company Vivendi Games spent 6 days in Samsung Dong, Seoul at the Intercontinental Hotel and had a press conference. He announced, "We're in the last stages of developing SC2". Although Hack did not make any concrete statements about when the game will launch, it seems that once Activision and Vivendi Games close their merger in June, we are expecting SC2 to be released in July or August.

SC's follow-up game, SC2 is gorgeous with realistic images and already there is a lot of interest amongst gamers. Starcraft is a game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, a subsidiary company of Vivendi Games and has sold over 5 million CDs in Korea since 1998.


so... sounds like whoever wrote the article just made it up. Hack probably said something to the effect of "it will be out probably after we finish merging" and whoever was writing the article took that to mean "soon" after instead of "blizzard-time" after, which is more likely.

ah this is good to know... I was starting to get pretty ticked at the Vivendi CEO for the crap he's been spouting (first the in-game advertising thing and now this "release date").
August still seems like a weird time to release a game tho; wouldn't they shoot for Christmas?
10 points!

I know Vivendi owns Blizzard, but what does Blizzard say?
