Please excuse my arrogance, but $20 it's starcraft ghost; any takers? Put it this way...They basically made starcraft ghost, they were making it for like 2 years or something ridiculous like that, u seriously think they are just gonna get it almost done, look at it and say it wouldnt get anywhere and scrap it? Hell no, they arn't fuken stupid... I bet ya theyve been "improving" the game this whole time, and now they are gonna announce it for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 5 days or so, you'll see. I bet you korean sponsers from all that progaming crap paid blizzard millions for them to not make sc2 or something stupid like that because they knew it would ruin sc 1 and screw up the whole progaming scene making them, and blizzard loose money. GG to korea, GG to Blizzard, BL NO RE to you guys.

Nah, it is definitely going to be SC2. Ghost would be anticlimactic...and blizzard isn't stupid. They aren't going to repackage a game like that with all of this hype only to let down everyone. Ghost might be a side annoucement, but I think they are going to announce SC2. Think about it...if it is SC2, it will be all over the news on every gaming site everywhere!
On the other hand, if it isn't SC2, then I will lose my faith in Blizzard and never be so pumped again.
I just have this gut feeling, man...I have been waiting for this day sooooo long....

I actually played on a DE_LostTemple for CS:S. I don't think it was based on the SC one though.

i don't think it would be another mmo since it would be stupid to create competition with WoW, right?
edit: and you could also say that with wc3. so i dunno, but i don't think they are getting any more revenue off of wc3. does blizzard still make money off of sc and wc??

True, but commercial PC gaming sites are so starved for news they'll post about just about anything so that isn't saying much :p. But it will definitely be huge news, especially if the game looks exciting in some way (which it probably will).

And, the hype created by a lot of random gaming websites is getting bigger and bigger as the date (May 19th) comes closer.

WC3? Pfff, no one cares about WC3. At least I haven't meet a person recently. I picked up that game, realized that I could only build like 12 units and a hero, and ran back crying to my zerglings and overlords.
It will be Starcraft 2. I BELIEVE!

Overmind777, your quote is just one more reason why we need SC2 - the campaign is going to be omfgawesome.
And this is coming from a person who played 2 skirmish matches vs the computer before heading out to battle.net =D!
Although technically I had played the game before at a friends house (actually a few times, but like years apart ).
Fuck, this thread + wikipedia = NO SLEEP. Been reading wikipedia for hours now.. All because of this thread.
How you ask?
Well, some guy mentioned bees.. I thought of bumblebees.. then I realized it'd be cool to read a little about bumblebees cause they are totally sweet (cartman style).
Bumblebees led me to wasps, which led me to ants, which led me to species which led me to extinct species which led me to think of this extinct bird I'd read about ages ago but couldn't remember its name (dodo) so that led me to searching for extinct flightless birds.......
SO MUCH INFORMATION, SO MUCH TO READ :D
Ahem, yes, starcraft 2 COME ON. I'm already trying to figure out how I'll get into the beta.. Bribes?

Like it or not, a return to the SC universe has been long overdue.

Wikipedia is evil...once you start reading, you start to notice all of the little links embedded within the article, and you start to click...and click...and click...omfglookit'ssixhourslater!
Starcraft IS overdue, and Blizzard realizes this. They have dropped so many hints over this past year. You think the new patch is out of the blue? You think all of these "slips" and rumors are just coincedence?
Blizzard is amazing at creating games, but even better at doing one thing: Creating hype and answering to their fanbase. Blizzard is probably the only gaming company that I know that tends so much to its fanbase and actually looks and listens to it.
As I said, if they don't announce SC2 then I was wrong about ALOT. And we will have to wait...again...
But haven't we waited enough?
It is time for the return to the greatest Blizzard Universe...
And Frozenarbiter, from what I hear, I think the minimum fee is bribe + sex favors + coffeerun to get into the beta.

The only reason starcraft 2 will fail is if it is hyped up like this. Expect nothin' and youll always come out on top. if you expect it to be like teh best game eveorzoorzooz your most likely going to be disappointed. that is why starcraft ws successful. some new game that no1 had any idea about except that a good company made it, and presto. being played 13+ years from then still.

I don't believe that having hype is a bad thing. Are you saying Halo 3 won't be successful?

spiderman 3 got mad hype and look at how much that sucked
i should throw an lol in there

Yes. They've done that before with Warcraft: Adventures and I don't see why they couldn't do it again (With a lot better budget now).

Halo 2 + 300 > hype.
Just because something is hyped doesn't mean it's going to not live up to the expectations. Halo 2 and GoW come to mind for that. If blizzard is going through all of this trouble to get the hype as high as it is, it must have a lot of faith in the game it is putting out. Judging by the still active involvment of blizzard in the sc community it is safe to say they know what the people want, and they know how to deliver it.
If it does turn out to be SC2 I have confidence that blizzard know's what they're doing.

eventually I got to jingoism. At like midnight.
