It seems the next big thing from Blizzard is going to be another MMORPG, this time, in the Starcraft universe.

This may be a April Fool's joke, who knows. It wouldn't surprise me though, if it's true. I don't really care really. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

 

 

 

Personally, I've never played Starcraft (one of only a select few of big-name PC games I don't have), but I bet this will be huge. The article says it's coming out for Korea first (probably a wise move).

 

 

 

Looks kinda cool, but I kinda wish they'd work on Diablo 3, or maybe, I donno a new franchise?

 

 

 

There's also some other big news from a well-known PC game franchise (though this news is not new today, actually about a week old now). But here's gamespy.com's description:

 

 

 

Battlefield 2142

 

 

 

The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The math is simple and brutal: The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth's population. Some will live, most will die. Players will choose to fight for one of two military superpowers in an epic battle for survival, the European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech assault rifles, cloaking devices and sentry guns, players will also do battle using some of the most imposing vehicles known to man. Massive battle Mechs wage fierce combat on the ground, while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When facing one of these new behemoths, players will need to use their wits and an arsenal of new countermeasures like EMP grenades to level the playing field.

It's on wikipedia as being an april fools joke :P

I'm guessing it's a joke seeing how it was posted on Gamespot at 12:01 AM PST :wink: . Plus I didn't really find any mention of it on Blizzard's site. Though with all the attention that Warcraft has been getting from Blizzard the past couple years, it would be nice to see an additional game to the Starcraft Universe. I mean this rate, by the time Starcraft II comes out (should it ever), Warcraft 7 will be probably be out :lol:

OMG!

 

 

 

Sorry about that. :oops: I've been waiting for another starcraft game for forever. It sold way better than warcraft and for being almost 8 years old, it still sells in most stores. It's a gaming legend. The only reason warcraft is so successful is because they keep on coming out with new warcraft games. I would play world of starcraft even if the subscription was $50 a month. OMG

Would it really surprise you, though?

Oh I wouldn't mind seeing some Ghosts dancing naked :wink:

I wonder what I look forward to more, Word of Starcraft or this :P

To make the fake more believable?
