South Korea deserves it.  They have 3 channels STILL on about Starcraft gameplay.  Unless I'm old on news.

If cows/sheep thought that Halo was overhyped,then they saw nothing untill now.

 

There's a difference,though.Starcraft actually deserves it's hype.

I've never played StarCraft and, to be honest, I probably never will. Sue me.

An MMO based on Starcraft would undercut WoW profits. That's a terrible idea.

 

I'd love Starcraft 2, though.

If Starcraft 2 is released this year, with the inclusion of WoW: TBC, Pokemon, Smash and Puzzle Quest, this is the best year of gaming EVER.

But if Blizzard is making both...wouldn't they just draw in even more people with two games instead of one, even if WoW had slightly fewer people?

WOW=8m -->  WOW=5m + WOSC=7m = Blizzard has 12m

No... absolutely not...

They would not only betray a huge fanbase but would both ruin the game universe and undercut their WoW profits...

WoW is enough. StarCraft 2 the RTS is long over due.

I hope this is true. It's about time they come out with a sequel. I just hope they don't go the same route as Warcraft 3. I kind of enjoyed the balance that Starcraft had. Protoss FTW!!!

RTS has never really been my thing and i'm not a fan of its '90s art style. It reeks of old to be honest, whereas games like Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid and Chrono Trigger still stand strong today.

Wow is actually on a decline now that the ohh factor of TBC has faded away from many players. I still enjoy playing it but myself and probably countless others will abandon it when Warhammer is released(first quarter 2008 ).

 

Starcraft MMO would be a brilliant move from Blizz imo. Xmas 2009

I don't think it would have been that bad if they had the option of not leveling up the heroes. WC3 was more of an offensive game and that took away from the defensive game. I know I enjoyed being a little more defensive and then going on offense. I also didn't like the upkeep. There were less units to control and there wouldn't be enough resources to pump out units when you really need it.

That I agree with, in 2009. If they do take that route with Starcraft, I'm sure it will be a pretty good game. I kind of hope they just make a new RTS with it, though.

 

The Starcraft universe doesn't have the history and lore that the WoW universe has. I think SC is more suited to RTS.

That's only because they haven't built on the story as much.  A sequal could change that.

LOL.  I remember back in 2001, when Blizzard had that mystery site up--and it turned out to be Starcraft Ghost.  I was so disappointed...

God, I hope this is true.

Isn't this old as dirt? Total Annihilation was always better than Starcraft and now Supreme Commander is out. I doubt Blizzard wants to embarass themselves.

That's what I thought until I played it. My advice is hunt it down. It's only $20 bucks and easy to find. You'll find yourself pleasently surprised.

Total Annihilation was great, but Supcom is extremely overrated.

Will God bless us the a StarCraft 2?@!?!?!? I cant only hope. I played starcraft years ago when i was about 9 and really loved it for years on, until i got into consol gaming. I never really got into the story, probably because i was young, but i loved playing and im anticipating the next one.

I really think the hero system was a precursor for WoW.  Regardless, I don't like it for RTS.  I don't like micro management too much because a few units beating a whole army isn't that strategic.
