The long-rumoured new instalment of Blizzard's massive StarCraft series is set to be unveiled later this month - and it's another massively-multiplayer online game in the style of World of Warcraft, CVG learns.

Link to story

If true would be good and bad news for all us WOW addicts and/or StarCraft fans.

Actually, I might play that. I really, really like sci-fi games.

I like Starcraft, but I'm not sure I'd play an MMO version.

Raptor · « **Reply #3 on:** May 14, 2007, 10:24:10 AM »

So is this going to be an MMORPG or a MMORTS?

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #4 on:** May 14, 2007, 10:55:29 AM »

Going to probably be MMORPG I'd imagine with RTS elements. But I couldn't see them doing a MMO like the traditional RTS games.

I'm still an active SC player, this'll be awesome

I never played StarCraft!
is it like warcraft?

Calum · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2007, 09:27:13 AM »

Sort of.
But you get guns and spaceships, tanks and stuff instead of swords and archers.
It's a fantastic game, you should really get it.
I picked up Starcraft and the expansion, Brood Wars, for about £5, so it's cheap too.

So, any more news on this subject?

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:19:13 PM »

Not yet, but I anticipate soon, with how Blizzards website is changing daily showing you a time line of the history of their games each day.

I had a look on their website, couldn't find any reference to it.

What do you mean 'daily'?

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2007, 11:53:09 PM »

Each day they're changing the main page of all Blizzard related pages to talk about a product they've done in the past. The *speculation* is that at the end of the product line will be the announcement of the next product (more than likely StarCraft MMO or StarCraft 2). Because today's splash screen is the introduction of WoW (2004) I think the announcement will be within the next day or so because apart from the expansion pack for WoW there has been no other games.

Examples of Blizzard splash pages, every Blizzard associated page has been having these splash pages over the last few days.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/
http://www.wow-europe.com/

Also a page for http://www.starcraft2.com, however for now just forwarding to Blizzard's main page.

Well looks like it will in fact be an RTS, the StarCraft II site is up, trailer and screenshots look great.

Can't wait!

Just cant wait, this'll be a great game, it's got some big shoes to fill.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:49:52 AM »

it looks so sweet

Raptor · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2007, 10:36:20 AM »

To be honest, I think it looks just like Starcraft .. It's just 3D this time, and the only 3D strategy game I ever liked was Battle Realms because it didn't confuse you with different camera positions or (too much) elevated terrain!

But maybe it'll be good. I hope they made the story line even better this time.. I am looking forward to playing Turret wars 3D.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2007, 10:47:21 AM »

Turret wars i dont think i played that yet

Seven best tower defense games

They used to be Starcraft maps with a lot of scripted events and the only thing they had in common with SC was that they used the same tile set...

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #19 on:** May 21, 2007, 10:52:12 AM »

oh ok

Raptor · « **Reply #20 on:** May 21, 2007, 10:52:39 AM »

Well.. Go.. Try.. Them..!

Yeah That MMO buildup was crap, a lot of people were hoping for it. But now it just looks exactly like the 1st one with better graphics.

But ask yourself this

Does Starcraft Really need to focus on graphics? Or Gameplay?

IDC I always prefered WC3 because of the custom TD's

Anyways it was just my opinion. I did however enjoy Sunken TD and Turret Defence

Those were only 2 good games in sc.

But blizzard just cant be satisfied with the WoW Income so they have to make a new game.

IMO they should have made a Diablo MMO,

Reason benig

Warcraft and starcraft were RTS's and Diablo was their only RPG so technically that should be it.

But no they had to go with Warcraft :|

Would love to battle diablo instead of Onyxia

and all of the dragons are the same model, how lame.

Anyways Hate wow

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2007, 12:27:02 PM »

I really like the idea of a Diablo MMO, I think that would be something more possible than a StarCraft MMO. REgarding only better graphics in StarCraft II, you should really check out the game play video it's MUCH more than just better graphics.
