Rumors - Starcraft II

MrApples · 06-12-2007

Post all the rumors you've seen or heard about StarCraft II here. Also if you know a rumor is false, then say so with evidence, and well strike it.

StarCraft II may be released on June 30, 2008. The game play videos show that the game is already near-completion, and Diablo II, WarCraft III, and expansions have all been released on June 30th.
A fourth race, but kept secret? StarCraft II seems a bit too dull as it is in terms of innovation, this is Blizzard after all. Revealed in the secret level "Dark Origins" of Brood War, there is a unnamed force of protoss/zerg hybirds that have yet to be revealed, lead by by Samir Duran.

MrOrange · 06-12-2007

I can't wait for it to come out. But I might not be able to wait for a whole year. I seen some clips and the graphics looks so cool. But I must disagree with the forth race. It would just be too powerful. I think it would be like a campaign race like the Nagas.

CaptainSnake · 06-21-2007

In the game.. Well lore Protoss is the purity of form and zerg is the purity of essence. Together if they ever band together they will form the purity of being. Aparently protoss and zerg are brothers. They were both created by the Xel'Naga who unfortunently are extinct... The Xel'Naga wanted to created the purity of being but in doing so they created a faulty race (ehhh dunno) but it was zerg. Protoss was the good race. Kinda like a good twin and evil twin.

but didn't the TERRANS make the zergs to act like heroes when they killed the zerglings?

Where did you get that from, if you don't mind me asking

King Stubby · 07-24-2007

starcraft! there was this guy who apparently let some experiments out so that he could shoot them all when it looks like they were about to win! He even said it between missions!

CaptainSnake · 07-26-2007

Oh. Its not zerglings agaist Zerglings. Alexi thought Terrans were tough so he let a bunch of zerglings out on a terran outpost. The outpost pretty much got overrun and he left. Yeah he's a rat bastard

CirrusWalks · 07-27-2007

The terrans didnt MAKE the zerglings, they just used them when they noticed how they reacted. The zerg were made by the xel'naga.

No you didn't, you made a different point. =_=

Both are helpful, though.

Xel'Naga hmmmm naga seems to be jumping out of the screen at me. Idk...just a connection i saw. Anyways, it would make sense for the protoss/zerg hybrid since we already know that the zerg mutated the DNA of terran, such as Kerrigan. So, we know the zerg took over Aiur (Protoss homeworld and cradle of Protoss civilization). Why couldn't the zerg mutate protoss? perhaps some survivors where taken captive by zerg.

DarkRanger192 · 12-01-2007

what if there are survivors on the captured planet of Aiur? The zerg (having already mutated the DNA of terran) could mutate the DNA of the protoss couldn't they? man.....that would be ONE scary race eh?

The protoss and terran would probably team up against the new threat and destroy it (leaving only one thing behind so that it can come back in SC3 if they choose to make it).

that's the one thing I love about blizzard, they never actually FINISH the story, they always leave stuff open so that they can have games following them.

okper0205 · 12-01-2007

duran or whatever is an xel-nanga or whatever the **** they're called.

Genjuhru · 01-21-2008

doubtedly a 4th race would be present in starcraft2, for the 3 races with their new and improved units especially terrans MECHAnised ones is already a handful...
Hopefuly starcraft2 would reach its predecessor's glory or top it.

King Stubby · 01-21-2008

Pretty sure i saw a video with the Xel'Naga being in it. I think they're more for the storyline than making bases.

MrOrange · 01-21-2008

Wouldn't be too surprised. And that's what I've been saying awhile back. They will be the "naga" of Starcraft, you can say.

Felix_C_Lehn · 01-23-2008

Since it's Blizzard I gonna let me surprise by 'em... but on the thought about this "Corrupted" Protoss combined with Terran and Zerg DNA - Iwonder which of the parts haven been taken.... Terran knowledge of mechas? Protoss Knowledge about the structures of time and space? and the Zerg typpical hierachy? And who would controll this insectoid/human/ (dont find any fiiting for Protoss) beings.... who COULD at all controll them. Even the Overmind and his Cerebrates weren't able to hold the Zerg at all... not even minding the uncomparable psyonic power every Protoss wield.... I think the conclusion of this is

IF there will ba this "IMBA" beings
a) They are Storyline
b) Xtreme ugly (Zerg and humans combined =O~)
c) not thought for a players hands (imagine you control them, I overrun nearly every post in campaign at ease by now)

... So thats that....
I wonder if the Xel'Naga could take part in SC2 since in the campaign and manual of SC was written that the Xel' NAGA have been completely overrun by the first Zerg. I think if there will be some Xel'Naga then those will be a group of them who seperated from the main-group (who created Zerg and Protoss) - and now try to extinguish the remainings of there fallen brethren...
--> In this case the point where theese have decided to seperate would be interessting
a) before the Protoss (who are greatly like NE - rly peacefully)
b) after the Protoss (created an unbelievable strong being and nearly failed)
c) after creating the Zerg (seen that this is the ultimate mistake teyve made they disappear not thinking of the consequences)

If c) then why didn't they "cleansed" the planet (WH40K fans know in which kind of ways I'm thinking) - if not this way then maybe like the Protoss did with erm... forgott name ... thx for the writing it down ^^

Man that's my post ... hope I didn't amde to much mistakes and you can follow my thoughts
yours sincerely
FCL

EagleMan · 04-01-2008

To dispel something, the possibility of a 4th race has gone down dramatically and to think so given light so far seems to only be a fanboy wish then an actual possibility.

EtherealCookie · 04-08-2008

No, the fourth race is obviously going to be Mudkips.

King Stubby · 04-08-2008

i hope their mud, rocks and water can mess up and clean out the other races! (puns are cooler than guns!)

Seize_The-Day · 06-24-2008

4th race will be non-playable, but have a huge role in the storyline. Nuff said. Also, mudkips suck, it's all about the loli's with scissors taped to their foreheads.

King Stubby · 06-24-2008

wallicorn! definitely! then they can fly in winnebagos and have the help of their goldfish pets and unicorn friends!

...that about covers MY rumor that i'm starting!

TheStinger · 07-14-2008

Who Let the Zerg Out - in STARCRAFT 2 FTW

shocker · 1 Week Ago

MrOrange · 1 Week Ago

I hear many rumors. Such as it will come this Christmas or the beginning of next year. Or the summer of next year. I also heard that it will be released in South Korea first. Of course all of these are just rumors and are groundless.
