Well apparently Blizzard is announcing a new game this Saturday and based off of rumors and things the company has said it could either be Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, or Warcraft 4. To be honest I think it will be Starcraft 2, becuase the orgional is still one of the top played PC games in the world and if they made a sequal they would make alot of money off of it. Also another hint that it's Starcraft 2 is that hey are announcing it in South Korea, where Starcraft is very popular they have channels devoted to it over there and people have actually died in front of their computer screens playing it over there (NO JOKE) and also Starcraft has been out for ten years now so we've beeen waiting for a sequal for awhile. but of course I also have heard rumors of a Diablo mmorpg and that Blizzard is currently working on another mmorpg, so it's hard to say which one it will be, but I think the least likely one is Warcraft 4. lol it would be funny if they just blew us all away and decided to make another Lost Vikings game, I don't know whether I'd be excited or really pissed off.

I definately think that it's going to be Starcraft 2 because of what you said about where the announcement is taking place. I can't see it being another MMORPG since it doesn't make sense for them to try to compete with their own game, World of Warcraft. I doubt it will be an announcement about another expansion to WoW since if I'm not mistaken didn't they already say they wanted to bring new content to the game on every New Year's day and this seems like it will be a bigger announcement then something like that. I guess that leaves room for a Diablo 3 but as popular as that game is I still think a Starcraft 2 announcement is a better fit especially given the location.

I really hope it will be Starcraft 2.

I actually beleive it will be Starcraft 2 aswell, aka Korea etc etc.  I wouldn't also be surprised if was WoS, but as mentioned above its pretty obvious that won't happen, but if it was eve style too it could be fun!

I also love a Warcraft 4, im not fussed about diablo tho.  But maily a return to RTS for Blizz would be nice!

If it's anything other than Starcraft II I'll be severely dissapointed.

But seeing as how the annoucement is being made in South Korea, and the fact that on the Blizzard site there are stars located where the next title will be announced, I think we have a good chance of seeing the sequel everyone is waiting for.

Wish it were a Starcraft MMORPG. After a while, they could just unify the two universes with an epic event. Already, the Draenei look a bit too much liek the Protoss. And what about those Zerg-like insects?

 But yeah, it's going to be Starcraft II.

Isn't WoW, underneath it all, basically what Diablo 3 would have to evolve into?

I've been waiting for SC2 for a long time, and I'd like to see it come out just for the sake of it existing. Although I'll never get to play it on my crappy PC. :(

Starcraft Ghost is being resurrected as a Wii exclusive! :D

Ok, not likely, but I have to wonder, if they did decide to bring back Starcraft Ghost, what platform would it be on? In terms of ease of development, on the Wii they'd have to update the graphics far less... heck, with the way some developers have been treating the Wii, even if the graphics weren't updated at all it still wouldn't look that bad by comparison. But of course, there would be the issue of adapting the game to the Wii controls. On the PS3/Xbox360, they'd be able to keep traditional controls but would need to really revamp the graphics to remain competitive. They could always release it on all 3 platforms as well, but I find that extremely unlikely. I doubt the game's coming back at all even.

I don't think it's going to be Diablo because everybody who made Diablo left Blizzard North and form other studios, which forced Blizzard to close down Blizzard North.

If you want to play a game like Diablo, it's former developers, created:

Guild Wars by ArenaNet, the people who formed ArenaNet created Battle.Net.

Hellgate: London by Flagship Studios, made by many of the Lead people who created the Diablo series.

Mythos by Flagship Studios, a free game that's very similar to Diablo but with kiddie art.

Looking at the the job openings page I've noticed that alot of the postions were the nature of RTS, so Id imagine starcraft, also it's the only popular franchise of their's that they havent revisited in the past years.

Straight from the IGN feed of the event-

3:00 - FMV sequence in a spaceship - looks Terran - zooming in on a metal door - door opening - reveals a guy with a cigar in chains - prisoner - door shuts behind him - there's so much bass the room is shaking - guy steps into some kind of metallic devicce - legs are strapped in - guy rising toward ceiling - Korean text on screen got people very excited - another part of the machine is dropping metal arms on him - machine whirring - applying armor to his torso - extremly detailed visuals here - now guy is strapping on gloves - armor is molding together - seems like a Terran marine - rockets turn on - zerg now onscreen - Marine delivers a line - StarCraft 2 officially announced.  IGN
STARCRAFT 2 BABY!!!
