Finally, the direct sequal to the greatest RTS game ever created is on it's way. Trailers have been released and the website is now up.

Please join me in giving up all hope of a social life in the future.

Also discuss hopes, fears, rumours and eventual impressions here.

God I hope the "mainly a WoW-type game" rumours are false.

It's confirmed as an RTS. Follow the link.

Ah, I meant "wow" as in "fucking hell!" rather than "WoW".

Should probably have said "crikey".

Some of those screenshots look mighty tasty... I'll reserve full excitement for when the ingame footage shows up.

I am so ready to give this game months of my life.

My only hope is that it doesn't take 2 more years for Blizzard to put it out.

I was hoping the announcement would be that the game had been developed in secret and was shipping next week :-P

The cinematic trailer is beautifully done, except for the distraction of giganti-metal crotch towards the end.

My only hope is that it doesn't take 2 more years for Blizzard to put it out.

I think we're all hoping that, but it's definitely one of those believe-it-when-I-see-it situations. They don't have a very good track record with punctuality.

Other than that, I'm excited. But I really don't have the time or energy to replay SC and BW, so I hope they have a nice introductory film to remind us all of what went on previously...

I had not caught the cinematic trailer when I posted previously. I gotta say it was very nicely done. It did, however, remind me in a very in your face kind of way, showcase just how much of Blizzard's success has come from ripping off Games Workshop. Not complaining, mind, because their output is fantastic, but wow, that was very Warhammer 40k, more then I even remember the first game being.

I am so glad someone already started a thread on this, otherwise I'd have to do it myself, with a first post that would consist of nothing else than OH MY GOD PEOPLE IT'S TASTY TIMES, followed by the appropriate number "!"s and "1"s.

I will be a happy person when this comes out. Hell, I might even have the money to buy it, when it comes out.

Which may well be in 2010. But that needn't stop us playing the original SC over and over again to get back into the feel of things.

I've only played the original for a short time, but the gameplay in this definitely looks pretty awesome.

Black holes which blur the enemies into a nothing? Yes Plz!

They really seem to be striving hard for the perfect balance in battle abilities, which can only be a good thing.
