Nothing really unexpected but I thought I would post this for you guys. It is a yahoo news about anticipated games release date being delayed through the holiday season. It is always cool to see Starcraft mentioned in the news (even yahoo news)

But if ever there was a holiday anchor for publisher Activision, this could be it. And with the rabid fan base of the original Starcraft poring over every screenshot, Blizzard’s not going to release this one until it’s absolutely certain that every detail is done right.


Hey it is us !
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

If they were regularly following the development of SC2, they would be poring over every screenshot as well. We feel so starved of information that we jump onto any new tidbit possible.

" Don’t mistake this perfectionism for caution. If there’s any game the rest of the industry would love to see moved further out, it’s Starcraft II, as that would free up both time and money for gamers (and give other titles more breathing room) "

So true... Everyone knows when SC2 is released their product demand will DROP except for companies that sell computer accessories... ie keyboards and mouse !!!

portal 2 was announced early after portal if i recall correctly, but not much was said about it other than rumors of multiplayer and a lot of fan excitement.

Actually, Portal 2 was announced before Portal but no one really paid attention because Portal wasn't that well known yet.

Am I the only one here who isn't looking forward to Portal 2? I found Portal okay, but I wouldn't play it a second time or play a sequel unless I was really bored.

This is kinda unrelated but;
Dont worry its closing in pretty fast now.
One week ago Blizzard sent out press access mails requesting bnet accounts in europe as well.

Dont have too high hopes tho might still be a month away.

http://sclegacy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1522&page=19

Dunno if he's credible, but last time they sent out this stuff was in June, when they were still intending to start beta during the summer.

SOOO, assuming they didn't make the same mistake twice, it should be "soon" (novemberish?).

The community's track record so far is so bad, I'm treating all fan-made predictions for the release of anything SC2-related as trolling.

Not necessarily. 1 prediction on the date of beta launch can be correct, as well as 1 prediction on the date SC2 would hit store shelves, and then further predictions for the Heart of the Swarm expansion and Legacy of the Void expansion could be correct

Ah hell. We all know the release date is July 17.

Actually, in my experience, the community is quite capable of groaning without poring...or performing a cursory reading of the information...or being aware of that information at all...or knowing anything at all about Starcraft II.

It's okay though...I still love you guys.

(Oh, and beta November 1st; you heard it here first! )

Everytime I read about SC2 release date being unknown / further than anticipated I think back and laugh at that guy from two months back who bet his TL acct that beta would be announced before the end of that day, two months ago.

Hehe, he was unbanned after a couple of weeks tho It just wasn't fair to him once Blizzard announced there would be no beta this summer.

I think he has "self-banned" himself or something tho, since he hasn't written anything since then :S

Anyway, it was really strange how they kept deleting every beta post on their forum during that day... Maybe someone there was reading the thread and thought it'd be funny to play along.
