They would never shut down their old servers, they still run Diablo 1 for crying out loud.
Mega false because of that one statement, they will never shut down anything.

| Quote: | August 24, 2006 - While our meeting with Blizzard Chief Operating Officer Paul Sams today at the German Games Convention mainly focused on The Burning Crusade, the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, we did ask him about what the future holds in store for Blizzard, and specifically about StarCraft 2.
"StarCraft is my absolutely favorite game of all time," Sams told us. "As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise, and trust me, I will be the happiest person in the world when we announce StarCraft 2."
While Sams wasn't ready to spill the beans just yet, he did say Blizzard "will have a major product announcement in 2007," and that Blizzard was currently working on at least three other unannounced titles at the moment.
In terms of what these games could be, we asked if they would fall in line with the major success Blizzard has had with World of Warcraft. "I want to be clear that we're not just content to be an MMO company," Sams explained. "Some other companies get into the role of making just MMOs, but Blizzard lets the developers pick what they want to work on, and it's not all MMOs."
When asked about StarCraft: Ghost, Sams said that it was on indefinite hold, but that Blizzard wasn't averse to exploring further console development in the future. "We've been up to MS and they've been at our office talking about Vista and 360," Sams said, "and we're certainly excited about some of the tools they have to offer in the console world as well as with Vista and DirectX 10. However, with our own online gaming service, we're going to pick and choose what we want to use; we're going to protect Battle.net and make sure Battle.net ranks supreme."

Why would you hope for dx10? It would mean you having to install Vista to run it, and why on earth would you want that?

Just because a game supports DirectX10 doesn't mean it requires it (and thus vista).
Crisis also supports DirectX10 but you still don't need Vista for it.

Well duh.. that's because it also has a DX9 renderer. Games that only support DX10 is Vista only, obviously.

Age of Conan is DX9 too, I'm pretty sure? It's also coming to the 360. |

I am fully aware that it will use DX10. I am merely saying it has DX9 too, right?

yup found this on their forum
| Quote: | | In an effort to break even newer grounds in the world of graphics, Age of Conan is one of only a few titles that will be available for Microsoft’s newest technology platform called DirectX 10. While the game runs perfectly well on Windows XP with the current DirectX 9 technology, having Windows Vista installed on your computer and the hardware that is required to run DirectX 10 will grant you a graphics experience that is unsurpassed in the genre of massively multiplayer online games. |

wtf you were talking about SC2 and out of no-where the conversation turn to Dx9/DX10 and age of conan.. lol (btw vista is fine)
I'm pretty sure Blizzard are indeed working on SC2, it's the title everyone is waiting for and their only hope to make some money. The paragraph seem strange to me (just 2 new units per race?! You mean all the gameplay stay 100% intact?) but since it comes from TeamLiquid I will trust it (biggest SC pro-gamer site).

This has been pretty well known for quite some time... Blizzard just recently sent invitations out to prominent Koreans and americans alike for a Large "event" in Korea coming up very soon. Two guesses what that is. They've also said they're not currently working on Diablo if I can find a link i'll post it...

Personally, I think the news is fake. If Blizzard was to do a sequel, I think they would give it the attention it deserves. Not just a quick remake with a few new units and 1 new race. It would be almost redesigned from the ground up.

| Quote: | Blizzcon Details Announced
Better start dieting; you don't want to look fat in your Night Elf costume.
by Micah Seff
April 12, 2007 - Blizzard announced today the details of its second Blizzcon convention. Blizzcon is basically a Blizzard fanboy's wet dream, and features a celebration of the WarCraft, StarCraft and Diablo franchises. This year, the festivities will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, from August 3 to 4.
The Blizzcon hilarity will be open to all gamers older than age 4. There will be a number of activities to enjoy at the event, including discussion panels with Blizzard developers, a number of tournaments, cosplay contests, a silent auction, and more.
"We were gratified by the response to our first BlizzCon in 2005 and have been looking for an opportunity to hold a follow-up event ever since," stated Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard. "With BlizzCon 2007, we plan to deliver another entertaining and informative experience for the attendees, and we look forward to meeting all of them again this year."
Those of you out there who just can't contain your frothing demand for all things Blizzard, you will be able to pick tickets up on the Blizzcon Website. Tickets will go on sale in the next few months, and will set you back $100. |
We'll know on August 3, 2007 haha
