StarCraft II on track for next spring News
PC News by Oli Welsh
Blizzard has reassured investors that StarCraft II is on track to launch in the first half of 2010 - or, to be more specific, the second quarter. That means we should get our hands on it some time between the start of March and end of June.
The word comes from Blizzard chief Mike Morhaime, speaking during yesterday's Activision Blizzard quarterly conference call with investors. VG247 was listening in.
The developers are polishing the game and "driving towards the beta", he said. Speaking of which, we were promised that beta before the end of this year. Here's hoping. You'll know about it when we do.

Hope this lives up to the anticipation. Blizzard have their work cut out after the first one. The 12 year wait for a sequel has to be one of the longest ever. And the latest preview in Edge Magazine was surprisingly negative, to say the least...

\o/ let it be so please. Whilst dellghted that Blizzard have the time and resources to not rush their games - it would be just splendid to play SC II before old age claims me. Beta before xmas you say? Perhaps you say? Marvelous.
Oh and any mention of the other game....what was it again? Deeblie.....Dial-a-bow.....De-al-ba-lar 3? That sounded simply, well, swell , also.

I am so incredibly Meh about this by now.
It's like Duke Nukem Forever - if they'd ever released it, it would never have been able to live up to expectations. |

Will people really care without lan support?
I know I won't. I'll pick up a bargain bin copy of all 3 chapters when I can get a reliable LAN patch.

More that Starcraft set a new bar for what an RTS should deliver.
Starcraft 2 simply seems to be the first game with prettier graphics from what's shown so far... Given all the innovations in the genre since then, they have a lot to build on to make it as good as people are hoping for. |

I'm torn. On the one hand, it's Starcraft; I really want it to be awesome. On the other, I'm wary of the scenario Sunyavadin describes. Better graphics and a few new units will probably make a good game, but nowhere near the game-changer that Starcraft was.
