Inside-Blizzard source: Diablo 3 could a ...

1. This is a rumor. 2. Dunno what to say... Yay or nay, 'cause that could mean both games are gonna arrive, well, very late.3. We received news today from an anonymous source from inside Blizzard, confirming that development of StarCraft 2 will be largely postponed until Blizzard's recently announced, and long-awaited Diablo 3 is ready for the market.
[Starcraft 2] is still being worked on, but only by a minuscule amount of people compared to what [Blizzard] put on the Diablo 3 team.
This has yet to be confirmed officially by Blizzard, and I personally doubt they will respond. Because this information was leaked unintentionally through a casual conversation with one of our staff members, we can not reveal the name of our source publicly - so to protect this individual and his/her position within Blizzard. Nor can we say that this came directly from Blizzard.Link.It's on Kotaku, too, so it's getting alot of media attention, apparently.Inside-Blizzard source: Diablo 3 could a ...
i would rather have diablo 3 over starcraft 2 so hell yeahhhh! bring diablo quicker and delay starcraft all they want!Inside-Blizzard source: Diablo 3 could a ...
That's strange, from what we've seen SC2 has been pretty close to completion (just needs balancing, etc). If Diablo 3 has such a large development team assigned to it, perhaps the pictures we've been seeing are fairly close to the final (or close to final) build as well.

Hopefully neither will arrive too late, I'm hoping for a 2009 release for both of them.

I'll be happy if Diablo 3 comes first as long as they're not rushing the project.

[/QUOTE] yeah because diablo 3 has been in developement for around 4 years so im gonna bet that starcraft 2 and diablo 3 are both pretty much done besides some tweaking. just think they dont want to realease each game to close to each other.

Yeah, releasing two huge titles like this close to one another would be a bad marketing decision. Hopefully they make it worth the wait for the buyers of the other title, which in this case seems to be SC2. More units, structures, etc. please!
I doubt it. My gues would be SC2 sometime in 2009 and D3 late 2010.
Makes sense in a way. If Blizzard can get D3 out the door in the first half of 09, they'll be able to tap into the huge number of WoW players that have finished RotLK and are looking for something new.
Meh, it's not unbelieveable since Diablo 3 has been in development a long time. I wouldn't be surprised nor disappointed as long as these games come out eventually

I want Warcraft 4Now

Lies!As much as I would like to play Diablo 3, I know deep down that it's going to be a long time before it's finished. Also it sounds ''fishy'' that D3 would have more people working on it than SC2, especially when SC2 will sell better due to the fact of the great fanbase the previous one has.
I wasn't too happy with what direction they took Starcraft 2 anyway, they seemed to make it way to much like Warcraft in the overall style and setting. If this is true then it gives Blizzard a chance to take a step back and really REALLY give us Starcraft 2 aka a game that will last forever and back.Having Diablo 3 come out first is fine with me.

Either way it looks like 09 will be PC upgrading time for me.

Same applies to Diablo 3.That is simply the cheapest way to get the best looking 3D graphics.In terms of design(which is what matters in Starcraft 2), the game is fundamentally Starcraft. But with upgrades and some very interesting strategic dynamics added in.
