What's Blizzard's Big Announcement Going To Be? (StarCraft 2 discussion)

http://blizzard.com/ is counting down, and Blizzard has said they have a new game announcement coming at the WWI in Korea on May 19-20th.

What game do you think will be announced?

Starcraft 2 is what I hope for. Galaxy of Starcraft is what I fear.

Hoping for Starcraft 2. 640x480 Starcraft hurts my eyes.

Yes! millions of South Koreans are hoping for the same. Blizzard would be foolish not to cash in on their most popular franchise... one that is a pro sport in some countries.
But they may not be dissapointed in a spin-off.

The announcement will be that the big announcement is going to be delayed. This will give them time to make sure the announcement is perfect, or damn close.

I'm the opposite of a lot of you. I think it will be Star Craft 2, but I'm hoping for an mmo.

it's going to be something online like WoW even if in the starcraft universe. the recurring revenue is too much to pass up.

maybe online in Diablo?

Problem is that how many people can really play more than one MMO at the same time, and how much will a new MMO cannibalize subs from World of Warcraft?

I'm still waiting on this one to come out on the VC. One of the staples of our SNES/GEN party days.

Someone on my WoW server was saying his friend got a copy of a Diablo 3 beta which is probably BS as far as the beta goes but the possibility of Diablo 3 could be true.

maybe growth is peaking or has peaked for WoW and the powers that be think they need something else to keep people paying every month?

Even if Blizzard has a Starcraft MMO planned (which they previously said they were not going to do) they would probably do Starcraft 2 to set it up much like how WC3 & TFT setup WoW. Think about it. It's been ten years since Starcraft was released. There's a whole new generation of gamers for them to bring into Starcraft before releasing a new MMO. And as someone else pointed out the reveal is being done in Korea where Starcraft is huge so I doubt its Diablo or another Warcraft.

My money is on Starcraft 2. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Just for the record my vote is Starcraft II: RTS. I think it's gotta be considering the locale they've chosen, the place will go nuts. As long as the game isn't a system hog I'd be interested (the old Starcraft never really pressed my system if I recall). It's been a long time though, 11 years?

I think a World of Starcraft is coming, but not till after Starcraft II as Crashnburn said.

would be nice if they made a single player/MMO all in one

put in a good campaign and charge for MMO play all out of the same box

google search reveals they are hiring MMO developers and by past history we'll see this game on the shelves around 2010 with 3 6 month delays in in between
