I have trouble believing he would record for a game that would come out a year later. A typical animated feature film (and I've worked on a few, so I know) records voices as long as two to three years before release. It takes a LONG TIME to do all the character animation that requires that voice recording as a starting point. Game cinematics are the same. As for the guy who commented on "whipping out a campaign," here are some things they have to do that you may not have thought about: * Writing/rewriting the story. * Voice recording. * Animation, lighting, and developing art assets for the in-game cinematics. * Production of pre-rendered cinematics. * Repeating the last four. * Game systems software development to support new units and game mechanics. * Game design for new units and game mechanics. * Art design for new units and game mechanics. * Playtesting of new units and game mechanics. * Repeat the previous four *over and over*. * Branching and stabilizing the code for a beta test. * Branching and stabilizing the code for demos at this or that convention. * Game design for campaign levels. * Art design for campaign levels. * Playtesting campaign levels. And that's just the game development. | ||

More importantly: I could understand if they wanted to redesign some aspects of the game like they did in TFT by revamping the entire armor system. I'm looking at protoss naturally, break the fucking deathball already and re-balance warpgates as an option instead of just always being superior. If they release HOTS in 2013 and it brings nothing but a handful of new units, I won't be impressed. | ||

That would put the expansion during/end of summer 2012. | ||

ICC lasted a solid year at the end of Wrath. So yes, they very well might leave people farming Dragon Soul for a solid year. | ||

/sigh if guild wars 2 hits before d3, it may be hard to justify splitting my precious 'casual' gaming time. My hardcore time already goes to dota2. | ||

No they said they planned on releasing the new expansions 18 months apart about, not 8 months. But if you think it would be even 18 months you are silly  | ||
