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. | ||

It gets really fucking annoying when you guys don't know what something means and then go on huge ass tangents about it. And you have to admit, they're right, people are afraid of change, everyone on this board was! As a matter of fact this goes for every single game out there. They're not insulting us... -.- On topic: This seems really really really early. Is there going to be some public beta like warcraft 3 or something? I would want them to take their time and make good decisions. Sure, they have been working on this for a few years already, but it seems even now everything is really rough and sketchy. August is just a blink of an eye away, I'm not too sure if this is good or not. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I just got into progaming a few months ago... is it going to over that soon? 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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

I don't care when they release it. I buy it when it's out. In 3 days we're going to see the zerg race. Then we will have a good overview of the 3 races and the state of the game. | ||

It will be released next year... they suck at releasing games in right time ( They were 2 years late with Diablo 2 patch, 1 year late with WoW expension etc.) | ||

If so they delayed it for an entire school year. I remember thinking "halflife 2 in august?!" and then it came out when the school year ended -_- | ||

Vivendi games is the subsidiary company where all distributors and developers are under. Vivendi is in the music (universal), games, tv and telecomunication buissness. The game is distributed by activision/blizzard and the vivendi games ceo has nothing to say in this matter. | ||

Did anyone else actually read this translation? This looks like stupid speculation on the part of whoever wrote this. The article doesn't even have a real quote from this Hack guy at all, and he doesn't really represent the game anyway. If this little article has any accuracy in it, which I doubt, I'm guessing maybe beta would be out in July or August. Or of course maybe the game actually will be out in August, but I wouldn't base that belief on this dumb news blurb. | ||

From the way they're talking, they're taking units out and putting other units in, and changing unit abilities. Until they have the units figured out, there's no way they can build the campaign. | ||

You don't put togheter a playable version and then just trow it out on the market. That's maybe how low budget companys do it but not how the big rollers do their work. Cmon gimme a fucking break. Since when do the masses know what's acctualy good for their game? Just look at how relic did it with dawn of war in the very early stage. It was a patchmess. They jumped from imbalance to imbalance because of the "overwhelming feedback" by the community. For every good tought out idea there comes hundreds of player who don't even care how their changes might affect the game. They just care about their races, their own shortcomings and that's it. Just look at the wow forums in it's early stage. I sure as hell don't wan't that drama. Hell two years ago people cried about the imbalance in starcraft and that protoss is fucked against zerg. Do you even know how many games are out there that are "just another game". There is too much at stake to just trow out a game like starcraft2 and i'm glad that people like obama are not in charge. - "One does not simply walk into Mordor". | ||

The goal is to renew interest in starcraft and give non-current players a chance to play through the campaigns and have a couple games on B.net before SC2 comes out. What do you think? | ||

It's not a release date, it's an estimation of when it would be finalized. Which means they will push it back again and again for about a year. Haven't you guys have had enough experiance with blizzard to realize there's no way they're going to release a game that soon? They push back dates that were set in, and this ones not even a set date, it's a rough estimation. | ||

IMO, Zerg units at BWWI and release at the end of the year/Q1 of 2009. Actually, at this point I'm confident it's going to happen. Progaming teams are dispatching representatives to attend the event and play the game... people like BoxeR, Ra, NaDa are all going to test the game. They wouldn't do this (especially the Air Force) if there was no valid confirmation of such an event. | ||
