I wouldn't mind a third Lost Vikings. I mean, three vikings abducted by time-traveling aliens? That sounds pretty cool.

Maybe it's this "Cataclysm" thing? I'm not getting any hopes up yet, it's either going to be Diablo 3 or (maybe?) a WoW expansion. We'll see.

Right now, i'm having a race between Half-Life 2:Episode 3 and Diablo 3 to release.

My votes on Diablo 3.

I just don't care anymore. Too much hype, too much coverage, too much chatter this year to have it pushed back and do the same thing again in 6-9 months.

besides, with them dumping LAN, making bnet the only option (and mark my words, they WILL charge for bnet, and forbidding custom content so they can have microtransactions for certain items and features, on top of three 60-70 dollar games for every faction, its just made me not care. Blizzard is like any other conglomerate now, just like the talent vanished when Rare was bought

Whaaaat?! A blizzard game delayed?! A game not even in beta in august won't be released the same year?! By zues beard this can not be!

Seriously, anyone who didn't see this coming a mile away wasn't really looking. Ohh, and let me get this out there right now, there won't be two blizzard games in 2010. Diablo 3 will be delayed to 2011. The prophet has spoken.

Well, I love Starcraft, way more than Warcraft. And I also feel that Starcraft is the underappreciated smaller sibling of the two. When I first got wind of SC2, I rushed over to the site, and was in awe. Of its beauty.
While Warcraft is getting more releases, and it has WoW, Starcraft is going to have a comeback with those beautiful visuals. Maybe not as beautiful as cityscapes, some platformers and console games, but very, very beautiful in my eyes.

So if waiting another year means that it will be more polished and Zergy, I will gladly wait for it in the 2010 batch of games. I just hope they include Terra-Tron as an easter egg!

I hope they reboot the Ghost project after SC2 is out. I saw some previews for it, and it looked great. Very apealing, with moderation of different forms of gameplay, mainly stealth and tactical.

i think it will be wow expanshon but i am hopping it be warcrft 4 as i been waiting 7 f#####g years for it but i wont get me hopes up i heard that it coming out in 2012 though

I wonder if they will have some new minigame, tha will popularize a concept, and spread all around. Like Tower Defence.

Amnestic Pro Tip: If it looks like a full game, plays like a full game, is as long as a full game and costs as much as a full game it's probably a full Overmind-be-damned game.

Many people seem to misunderstand. They think that they make one game, and send out a piece at a time. When actually each is a game in itself, but just a fraction of the story. People prefer sequels, and expansions. There is no pleasing the masses, because if they released all three parts together as one, people would flame it for "being too damn long."
Do not test the overmind. Unless you serve Kerrigan.

I'm guessing the new WoW expansion that'll (hopefully) be announced at Blizzcon. I'm thinking they'll announce it for Q3, but it'll be delayed until Q4.

What I'm more interested in though, what they'll cook up for the next WoW patch to fill in time between defeating the Lick King and the new expansion being released. Fingers crossed it'll be something more interesting than Call of the Crusade.

Gotta be Blackthorne 2.

I have to agree. Lost Vikings was good, but Blackthorne was awesome. I would imagine it's going to be Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 though.

Starcraft 2 I'm really looking forward to, but I am disappointed they're going to release it in three parts. Yes I realize that means each part is going to be extremely well done and polished, probably to the point where it would burn your retina, but I don't want to wait an additional 2 years before I can play the Protos. I don't have a problem with expansions, but one of my favorite things about Warcraft and Starcraft were the ability to have multiple species to play as, it kept it varied and thus interesting. I'll give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt though.

 

[tk1989]

It better bloody be Diablo 3!

I don't see how it couldn't be, I mean, the games been in development for about the last 2 years, once it comes out, it's 3 years, and that is the average time to release a game.

You have to remember that Blizzard isn't exactly and average game company; they normally don't even set release dates, only releasing a game when they feel its finished and good enough to be released. As much as I would love to see Diablo 2 next year, if Blizzards past record with game releases is to be taken into account we probably wont

 

[johnman]

Well arent they selling Starcraft in separate boxes so you have too buy 2 to get the full game?

 

[Abedeus]

I hope to God it's Diablo 3. After all, it was supposed to be released after Starcraft 2.

WoW can go to heck, for all I care.

 

[Dr. Wily III]

Pleeeeeease Lost Vikings 3 for WiiWare, XBLA or PSN!

 

[Geamo]

World of Warcraft expansion. Duh. It's not even a question it's a fact.

Next WoW patch is Icecrown which is the last one for the Xpac and that should be out in the next 5-6 months at the latest which leaves another 5-6 months before the expansion comes out unless there is a turn of events.

Is the next patch Icecrown already? I thought there was at least one more major one before then?
If so, then I've been gone longer than I think...

 

[dochmbi]

Diablo 3 needs to be developed for 4 years, not 2 or 3.

 

[messy]

i think it will be wow expanshon but i am hopping it be warcrft 4 as i been waiting 7 f#####g years for it but i wont get me hopes up i heard that it coming out in 2012 though
(soz for swaring just anoyed to wait so long)

I so want it to be this, but I imagine we have a bit more of a wait. But WC3 online should keep me going

 

[dennyaaa]

Is gonna be wild

 

[Ghostkai]

While it's quite obviously SC2 + D3, I'd much prefer warcraft 4.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Aw, look at Blizzard being coy. Ain't it cute?

 

[Doug]

That picture is amazing.

Not enough rainbows in my opinion.

Agreed!

 

[maxusy3k]

I think, really, it's just going to be SC2 - though 'just' is something of an understatement - and the next WoW expansion. That ties up with the announced SC2 delay and Blizzard's commitment to one WoW expansion per year.
