It sounds very fake. The new race sounds pretty terrible. Same with shutting down servers.

But I would expect some sort of non-Wow game from blizzard coming out this year. Maybe an announcement at E3.

The report also claims that Blizzard plans to shut down its original StarCraft servers in order to ensure the success of the sequel.-

Wow. I can't believe it. A Starcraft sequel. As much as I love Starcraft though, I'd rather get Diablo III =/

that SUCKS. :(  depending on the reqs of SC2, i might not be able to run it :(   Starcraft 1 is a classic.  How many other games are there that are played for a DECADE after launch?  The game is legendary.  It would be a tragedy to shut down the servers :(

Shutting down the original StarCraft servers? When has Blizzard ever done this with any game of theirs? I'm going to say this is fake until we see some actual confirmation.

:o!

I hope it's true (the beta part, not the shutting down of servers for Starcraft 1).

Starcraft is the greatest multiplayer game of all time. I've played it since its launch in 1998 and still continue to play it to this day.

There's no way thats true. If blizzard didn't shut down the Diablo 2 servers because of WoW, why would they suddenly decide to shut down the starcraft servers to make way for a game we know nothing about?

I am truely scared.. If not, I will update my computer automatically, Starcraft is my life.. Please do what they did with Never Winter Nights, Keep both 1 and 2 servers going.. Please let me run it, I love this game.. I was sad that when Oblivion came out (which now I am forced to rebuy it on 360 and play it a year later) and I couldn't play it. Wow, this one of my most wild rumors I heard.

here's hoping for a console port.  BFME II actually works pretty well, and i'm happy about the 360 port of C&C.  I guess, deep down, I must be part hermit.  Ah well, it could be worse, I could be a nintendo fan.   :lol: j/k, j/kTHETRUEDOZAH

There was an actually good N64 port of Starcraft..

My old rig is running Win2000 on a Radeon 9200 :lol: 

When I first bought starcraft I put it on my old computer just to see if it would run. It did. WIN95 64MHZ proccessor(I think it my have been slightly faster) 32 RAM, No 3D card, and a 1GIG hard drive.

Must be April Fool's Day in Korea, because that statement just doesn't add up. A race full of Kerrigan just wouldn't fit, I would doubt that Kerrigan would like potential rivals, if anything the 4th race would be the race making the Zerg-Protoss Hybrids in that Secret Brood War mission.

It would be great if it was true since I want Blizzard to move away from the Warcraft universe. I also hope they don't make it an RPG/ RTS hybrid like Warcraft III.

I have a hard time believing this just because it said that Blizzard plans to shut down the original Star Craft servers. That sounds really....weird...

Zergtoss would be the **** best though haha.

I'll always remember StarCraft. I was playing online when someone said, "Dude, go to CNN! A plane just flew into a building!"

What a memory.
