With the beta opening this summer, it looks like there will be more than enough StarCraft for fans to sink their Zerg-like talons into.

Yes!
Ridgecity @ Jun 1st 2009 4:02PM
I second that. This news is best news of all morning!
iofthestorm @ Jun 1st 2009 4:39PM
Agreed, it's the only thing I care about announced all morning. Shit, there go my grades for next semester...

I know they don't need to because of their healthy income but I wish Blizzard would release this on next gen systems. I'm sure many would be willing to use a keyboard and mouse controls if needed.
lawlersauce @ Jun 1st 2009 7:30PM
Just no...

I would move my mouse and keyboard from my media center to my PS3 to play SC2 on my TV. Sure my PC has more horsepower, but my TV is so much bigger and nicer than my monitor.
Zertoss @ Jun 1st 2009 3:54PM
Fuck yeah! Blizzard is right on schedule for ending the world in 2012.
Shagittarius @ Jun 1st 2009 3:54PM
Are those all the terran base components transformed into a giant robot? Is this old Screenshot? Can I form the head?
Ghen @ Jun 1st 2009 4:00PM
Yes, Yes, and Yes. But only on 4/1 of every year.
RogueJedi86 @ Jun 1st 2009 4:00PM
It's from this year's April Fool's joke about combining Terran buildings into what amounted to a Transformers ripoff.
Storm Eagle @ Jun 1st 2009 4:01PM
That's Black Lion's job. And don't you forget it!
DrunkenPandaren @ Jun 1st 2009 4:19PM
Transformers? Psh, Voltron son.
Brazen @ Jun 1st 2009 5:01PM
I quote:
"Hell, it's morphin' time"
That'd be Power Rangers too.
MisterSquared @ Jun 1st 2009 5:07PM
All your base are belong to us.
Sion @ Jun 1st 2009 3:54PM
AWESOME, Now I'm Amused.
V-Mode @ Jun 1st 2009 3:56PM
Kick ass! This is the game I had in mind when I put my new PC together last year. Got kind of bummed when it wasn't released in -08...
GamerCrusader @ Jun 1st 2009 3:56PM
Wasnt this from the 2009 april fools stuff?
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Jun 1st 2009 3:57PM
Giant Mech: Zerg this, bitch!!
cuteSAVAGE @ Jun 1st 2009 3:57PM
Is this still supposed to be released as three games?
brickwalker0 @ Jun 1st 2009 4:00PM
think of it more like expansions. if you buy the first one that is released (Terran campaign) you still get full multiplayer and such.
the two released afterwards will include the other 2 campaigns and most likely more multiplayer features.
Stix Remix @ Jun 1st 2009 4:25PM
Think of it more like rip off expansions. If you buy the first one that is released (Terran campaign), you still get a third of the "full" multiplayer and such.
The two released afterwards will include the other 2 campaigns and most likely more multiplayer features. Each for the same price as the first.
Draimen @ Jun 1st 2009 4:38PM
I'm pretty sure you'll get full multiplayer. I don't think they'll limit you to only playing terran in multiplayer, just in single player.
lawlersauce @ Jun 1st 2009 7:31PM
Blizzard went from one of the coolest game developers to the biggest douche bags ever.
I blame WoW...
cuteSAVAGE @ Jun 1st 2009 9:01PM
I blame Activision
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 1st 2009 4:01PM
Holy fucking shit. This is the best E3 in a long time.
cjshrader @ Jun 1st 2009 4:24PM
Best part is...this wasn't announced at E3
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 1st 2009 4:32PM
Yeah I realized that shortly after I commented. Still an awesome day to be a gamer.
james @ Jun 1st 2009 4:04PM
I enjoy this day
rohan @ Jun 1st 2009 4:06PM
i thought SC2 was being divided into 3 parts?
Parappa92 @ Jun 1st 2009 4:08PM
The Amazon.co.uk E3 pre-order page already has it up.
phinnvr6 @ Jun 1st 2009 4:15PM
I'll believe it when I see it. And even then, I might still not believe it.
Vidikron @ Jun 1st 2009 4:14PM
I don't really care about SC, but I figure the sooner it launches the sooner I can get my hands on Diablo III.
Filter @ Jun 1st 2009 4:18PM
This is true. D3 will be amazing when it is released in 2012.
lawlersauce @ Jun 1st 2009 7:32PM
warcraft IV!!! lawl
Reeve @ Jun 1st 2009 4:16PM
OMG yes. Thank you, Blizzard!
Alone @ Jun 1st 2009 4:29PM
junk! its starcraft 1 but with better graphics.
MisterSquared @ Jun 1st 2009 5:08PM
Go back to hiding under your bridge.
Crusty Magic @ Jun 1st 2009 5:13PM
Yeah, just like all sequels right?
Too bad this will kick ass and possibly be even better than Starcraft 1.
BigD145 @ Jun 1st 2009 5:14PM
Xmas release, rain or shine. They'll patch the problems later.
Tetsuo @ Jun 1st 2009 6:12PM
Have you ever waited for, or bought a game made by blizzard? My bet is they'll realize "Damn.. that needs to be fixed." Then release it 4 months later than everyone thinks.
BigD145 @ Jun 1st 2009 7:57PM
It's been awhile since I've bought a Blizzard game, but I know they patch things years after release.
ripslymemc @ Jun 1st 2009 7:28PM
half of 09 is already over, so that means...
:)
Einhanderkiller @ Jun 1st 2009 9:14PM
StarCraft 2 is a pretty cool game.
TakeCTRL @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:08AM
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please be released this year.
