Article Source: Slashdotadvertisement
We'll be returning once again to the world of StarCraft, it appears, and not in the form of a Massively Multiplayer game. Blizzard has announced StarCraft 2 at their packed event in Seoul, South Korea. IGN is liveblogging the event, describing gameplay footage being played as well as full cinematics. From the description of ongoing events there are massive changes to the way the game plays, new units, a physics system within the game engine, and the capability to show over 100 units onscreen at a time.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The official site is up with a high quality trailer: Offical StarCraft II Site.
If SC2 is half as good as the original, it will be the best thing to come out in years.

Well more than likely that will be next. Starcraft 2 was needed though - its been too long.

I'd much prefer a new Diablo over this. Liked StarCraft, loved Diablo.

Try Titan Quest, it's pretty Diablo-like.
There is also a Diablo-like MMORPG coming out, called Mythic. Supposedly it will be free to play, too.

We have already had a sequel to Diablo............Starcraft needed one

I was sooo excited when I read this last night.
But it'll be about a bazillion years before we get our hands on it.

I'm so glad it is not another MMOG.

Looks like the same thing we got from SC1. I wondering if they don't want to change to much to keep the korean fanbase happy.
