GC 2006: StarCraft 2 Hints Dropped?
Is StarCraft 2 currently in the works? What other titles does Blizzard have stashed away for both PC and console?

August 24, 2006
- While our meeting with Blizzard Chief Operating Officer Paul Sams
today at the German Games Convention mainly focused on The Burning
Crusade, the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, we did ask him
about what the future holds in store for Blizzard, and specifically
about StarCraft 2.
"StarCraft is my absolutely favorite game of all time," Sams
told us. "As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will
continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise, and trust me, I will be
the happiest person in the world when we announce StarCraft 2."
While Sams wasn't ready to spill the beans just yet, he did say
Blizzard "will have a major product announcement in 2007," and that
Blizzard was currently working on at least three other unannounced
titles at the moment.
In terms of what these games could be, we asked if they would
fall in line with the major success Blizzard has had with World of
Warcraft. "I want to be clear that we're not just content to be an MMO
company," Sams explained. "Some other companies get into the role of
making just MMOs, but Blizzard lets the developers pick what they want
to work on, and it's not all MMOs."
When asked about StarCraft: Ghost, Sams said that it was on
indefinite hold, but that Blizzard wasn't averse to exploring further
console development in the future. "We've been up to MS and they've
been at our office talking about Vista and 360," Sams said, "and we're
certainly excited about some of the tools they have to offer in the
console world as well as with Vista and DirectX 10. However, with our
own online gaming service, we're going to pick and choose what we want
to use; we're going to protect Battle.net and make sure Battle.net
ranks supreme."

Damn it! (Ops, lost my control...)
I heard that Starcraft Ghost was suppose to come out, but it was canceled. I've seen the trailers. But sneakpeak to the actual game... they were horrible. I was so disappointed.

Which race to you prefer? A lot of pros go for Protos or Zergs, but I go for Terran. They may be for the noobs in the beginning, but if you know how to use them to true potential, they are amazing race to play.

Forgot to mention, Koreans are the master of starcraft. Only one player died because they played starcraft for 4 days straight. No water, food or sleep. Guess who he is? Korean! Ah.. poor kid...

I prefer to play Terran cause I know how to use them the best, or I'll play Protos. Can't stand to use zerg.
I once read about one Starcraft tournament in SK where they played a single game for about 4 days and were just fueled on pizza, coke and a helluva lot of smokes.

When I first played Zerg, I nearly threw up. I dislike Zergs, despite its enormous potential. And it's usually Zerg player that wins the game... statistically speaking...

I completly agree with you there! Have you ever looked up Starcraft in wikipedia? You can get almost whole historys of different people and events, like find out who Adun is.
FOR ADUN!
