Get Diablo out the door. I would be happy with that.

2 years for levels and cutscenes...

 

[Ciuy]

Fruck you Blizzard and your time consuming development. Maybe your just lazy...

 

[theoutbound]

Two years? I thought the point of splitting the campaigns was to expedite development.

 

[carlhenry]

NooOOooo!!! I thought this'll be out anytime soon. Darn, after two years, SC 2 would look like crap T_T

promise to add support for dx11, make the hybrid race playable make sure the campaign is longer! Then, I'll understand.

Kerrigan!!! T_T

What about episode 3? 2014?!? Hello dx12.

All i'm going to say if development takes this long there better be an engine overhaul, the game looks pretty good now could have looked quite a bit better, but in 2014 or whenever the last expansion comes out it's going to be quite dated i mean i remember back in like 2008 or 2007 they were show demos of the engine

 

[elcentral]

hmm hawe they got the mod comunity running yet? last time i checked a bit poor amount of td and almost no hero defend

*crickets* or *the sound of people caring*

this is exactly what happens when a company has so much money and has to do little to continue profiting... little incentive to get off their asses and get shit done.

 

[theshonen8899]

It's always the best games that take an assload of time to come out...
Where is Episode 3...

 

[iamtheking123]

They don't have to write an AI engine, they don't have to do any new graphics, and they don't have to do any beta testing. How could it possibly take longer than 3 days to throw some levels together and voice record some scenes.

 

[FloKid]

lol read it as a new starcraft cheater comes in 2012, wow blizz must be goooood...

 

[barmaley]

I'm not waiting on no starcraft expansion! To me personally, 90% of gameplay value of this game is in multiplayer. I beat the campaign once, I liked it, especially the jukebox soundtracks ("Zerg, shotgun" anyone???) But I don't see myself replaying it anytime soon. So, the only real benefit is the new units that may or may not be in it.

I agree with the first post that they finally need to get D3 out the door. One could be tempted to throw SC people on Diablo project instead. However, as we all know “adding more workers to a project running behind schedule will make it even later”. Blizzard never set a release date for D3, so it cannot be late by definition, but I feel this rule would still apply. So, D3 is just going to come out whenever it comes out…

 

[dEAne]

At that time people will end up bored.

 

[gr33nf00t]

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Blizzard always takes an eternity to get its games out the door. This is nothing new.

 

[shaun_shaun]

2012 ??? why not after Dec 21 2012 !!!! LOL !!!

 

[notsleep]

yup by the time the 2nd one is released...the first one would look so outdated it's laughable. since these games are standalone, the disparity between part 1, part 2, and part 3 would look like night and day. you have dx9 for part 1, maybe dx10/dx11 for part 2, and maybe dx11.x/dx12 for part 3. then you have the next gen console released (xbox 720, ps4, nintendo wii 2) which would retard the pc gaming tech for another 5-6 years.

 

[eddieroolz]

Of course it won't come out soon, Blizzard's gotta milk every penny out of SCII first!

 

[lugalbanda]

We knew this. Move along, people, nothing here to see.

 

[chunkymonster]

WTF?! 2012?! C'mon Blizzard get with the development! I can deal with the 10 years between SC and SC2 but making us wait 2 years for the 2nd installment is a serious buzzkill...

 

[g00fysmiley]

its blizzard.. it'll take till 2012 as stated it will likely be delayed... btu it will be worth it... they pump out a new halo every year and look where the quality there has gone ... give you a hint not in a good direction

 

[bildo123]

[citation][nom]dan117[/nom]2 years for levels and cutscenes...[/citation]

Basically, as far as the actual campaign goes...it seems to me like a bunch of people playing around in the galaxy editor. Of course there's more to it, in fact building the story would take up more time when compared to time spent in the galaxy editor.

 

[dark_lord69]

Lets hope Diablo III comes out before then to hold us off until the next StarCraft II chapter is released.

 

[ChromeTusk]

Another vote for a game engine upgrade! Maybe Blizzard can have the game utilize more CPU cores as well as DX11.
