Starcraft 2 Announced!

To be honest I wasn't expecting it for a while anyway. I mean it was just announced. That, and this is Blizzard we are talking about here. They will delay the game at least once.

Well it would be consistent with their record, War craft III came out in 2001 but was announced in 1999.

They've said that the game has been in the works since TFT finished production. From the demo it certainly was way more developed then War3 was at this same point , With multi player being already available for demonstration.

Obviously I expected closed beta to happen before a release of course. It seems this game wont have the serious need to be reworked and overhauled like either War3 or SC. So I think it could come out 2008 at the earliest and 2009 at the latest.

A interesting idea of starcraft is human civilization being branched out too distant regions , With a new human tree being planted outside of old earth contact.

Given current demographics trends its highly unlikely that so many European Caucasoids would be present in the type of future depicted in SC same goes for Star Trek

Although I don't know why they call them "Terran's" except perhaps to differentiate them from War craft ,
