Their \'brand new\' game will be announced this coming Sunday @ the ECTS show. Can\'t wait. What can it possibly be?

Does anyone know if Warcraft III is out and if it is, is it any good? I dropped out of the PC world ever since 400 dollar, fast-out-dated, video cards were a necessicity to play games.

Post by: EmperorRob on August 31, 2001, 09:21:12 PM: It\'s probably going to be Warcraft III. Of course the way Blizzard likes to announce them it will be fall of 2002 before the game\'s in stores.

Post by: Tetrad on August 31, 2001, 09:37:40 PM: Warcraft III was already annoced i thought. Sounds like a Diablo to me.

Post by: datamage on September 01, 2001, 02:19:45 AM: Obviously you guys don\'t follow Blizzard\'s movements.

Warcraft III is coming out next year. And Emperor, they are not going to announce something they\'ve already announced more than a year ago. Blizzard is going to announce something huge (according to them) tomorrow, a whole new game. They already said it will not be Starcraft II.

Post by: EmperorRob on September 01, 2001, 06:56:28 AM: Looks very interesting. HOwever, as with all Blizzard games you can only play them online MOnday-Thursday as Battle.net doesn\'t work on the weekends.

He is talking about how busy battle.net is always. It\'s really hard to get on with all the people.

I really wish Blizzard would expand out of their 3 game franchise instead of just rebuilding and re-inventing. Sure each one is fantastic but Blizzard\'s line-up could really use a breath of fresh air.

Post by: datamage on September 01, 2001, 06:00:06 PM: Well, some sites are now claiming that the \'World of Warcfraft\' is a hoax set out by Blizzard on purpose. We\'ll know for sure tomorrow. :)

Post by: Simchoy on September 02, 2001, 12:39:39 AM: datamage,
Heard that the "World of Warcraft" thing is a hoax. According to http://www.warcraft.org . This will all be cleared up tomorrow (or...ummmmmm...later today).

Anyways, while its a whole new game, that doesn\'t mean that its not in the exsisting universe. So, it could be Starcraft: Raynor\'s Campaign FPS. But, thats just...wishful thinking maybe?

Anyways, like I said before, it will all be cleared up later today.
