Blizzard Countdown [Sep 19, 2002, 12:34 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The countdown is underway on the Blizzard Entertainment
Website (thanks Hanzo) where they started the clock ticking yesterday for
their promised big announcement (story). Meanwhile, the mailbag
here at the Blue Tower has been filling up with entries from folks excited to
see the same countdown on www.starcraft2.com
(thanks StarmiT) which would seem to be an indicator of what today's announcement
from the Tokyo Game Show will center around. Just to clarify, while the
announcement may well indeed be about plans for a StarCraft sequel to satisfy
those eager for such a project, the countdown actually appears on other domains
Blizzard owns currently pointed at the same server, so you will also see this
dramatic countdown (at 7-some odd hours as of this writing) on warcraft.com,
as well, so there's no reason to be certain the announcement relates to
StarCraft.
Brandon,
There are different messages, but I could not tell you how quickly they change or repeat. I know that the site is a bit different than what I saw yesterday and, even from what I have seen today, the message text has changed.
However, I am much too lazy to sit there and write down the (backward) message. In that case, I would rather wait out the four or so hours that are left.
Most people seem to be sticking with the Starcraft FPS, primarily one with a Xbox flavor. I do not doubt that this would be some type of Xbox exclusive, but I wonder if they plan on taking the Halo route and bypassing the PC...
Bowing before the 'Forever gods :o,
Ray
