Blizzard's New Game

394
Well, everyone is freaking out over this as people tend to do.. a new Blizzard game is going to be announced today. There are a few signs pointing towards the game being a StarCraft universe related game, but Bill Roper the PR guy for Blizzard has flatly denied that StarCraft2 is in development.. so that leaves us at same universe, different game. Much like World of Warcraft being based on the Warcraft RTS universe. A few oh so clever geeks have managed to decode (and another decode here) hidden messages in the Blizzard websites that says things like this (more here):

Somebody call for an exterminator
I'm about to overload my aggression inhibitors

So, if it's not an RTS, but it is (likely) StarCraft universe related... Given Blizzard's recent hiring announcements over the years in the qualifications they have been looking for, I would lean towards a FPS or 3rd Person StarCraft game. Will it be blow stuff up action or a slow paced RPG or something in the middle.. dunno. Or, these subtle hints could just be intended to throw us all off. One thing for sure, We'll know what the heck is going on and have a report here at 7pm CST. Also one important note: If you want to post that you dont care or are going to whine about hype, go some place else you party pooper. Ok? Ok! :)
