Is it the 19th in Korea yet?  I'm getting impatient.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

Cell phone game? Or PSP/DS portable game?
Diablo for the DS.

It might happen!

You know what, it's possible.

With the popularity of the DS in the US, and the fact that Nintendo has launched the DS in Korea pretty successfully (Maple Story DS!), I can see some sort of a Blizzard franchise coming to the DS.

Let's stop this talk of Diablo on a handheld.  I'm too... something... to go to prison for mass murder.

A new Lost Vikings game would work pretty well on the DS.

Tonight or tomorrow night? I am confused. Again.

Want to do final bets?

I'll take a risk and say Starcraft MMO.  Maybe with a Starcraft 2 minigame in it evil.

Why not Starcraft 2 and Universe of Starcraft ? They could hire half of India to code for them if they wanted :)

I had that written but then I decided to be crass and liken starcraft to a mini game smiley.  I actually think there is like a 5% chance of that, it will only be used as a lead in to Universe of Starcraft.

I'm going with Starcraft 2 with a persistent world front-end and match-made competitive environment back end. With microtransactions :)

Starcraft Galaxies.

Only question is if it's a diku retread or if someone has grown balls and is making a massively multiplayer strategy game.

Especially when they find out that Blizzard is buying Vanguard from SOE for their new game.

So half an hour still?

I think it's Starcraft as the game is being presented in Korea. Diablo will probably be announced at the Blizzcon.

And since Starcraft is still so popular in Korea the new title will probably move along the same lines without anything groundbreaking. Stick to the formula, port to 3D, maybe a new faction.

I doubt it's a mmorpg, while Diablo may be an hybrid.
