And that doesn't mean an expansion for World of Warcraft either.

Leads instantly to the Diablo-versus-Starcraft speculation. I'd say Starcraft is the more likely of the two. Or Blizz may be doing another original universe.

Thoughts, anyone?

Starcraft is nearly a given because many of the property's are already built and would fall on the heels of the new Starcraft.

I think it's a Starcraft MMO, but if it isn't I wouldn't care anyways since I haven't played a blizzard game since SC1.

I don't know I could go for another Diablo right now, combat that magic fix I can't always get from WoW.

Next gen starcraft MMO, I could play that.

Won't be Diablo, way to close to Warcraft in style.

ad it's probably not Starcraft either, since the press release does mention "New IP". so it seems it's an entirely new thing.

Lost Vikings? Blackthorne?

HawkMan · 12-18-2007, 11:56 AM

still not new IP's

**Guerrilla** · 12-18-2007, 12:03 PM

Guess it's not The Death and Return of Superman either, then.

[Edit] Or Justice League Task Force... I still have nightmares about getting my ass kicked by Aquaman over and over again.

	2d art is treated as a bastard child in 3D forums. There are cultures on this planet that are just plain not ready for advanced technologies like explosives and automatic guns
