ahh yes, i have seen it.
i will go on record as saying
"jsut beacuse blizzard made an announcement, jsut beacuse they made a website,, some pictures, even parts of the acctual game, even in they made the entire game up untill the last level and relased demos, dosent mean they will realise the game."
naturally i am skeptical, because blizzard is soo bad at keeping to scheudal, even when they make the schedual. i will use my example for my seamingly insane rantings; star craft ghost.
let me give you the numbers on starcraft ghost, a game that never came out.
Blizzard announced the game in 2002, but on March 24, 2006 announced it would "indefinitely postpone" development[1]. Soon afterward, Blizzard removed StarCraft: Ghost from its list of games currently under development, and deleted the official Ghost home page.
Release has been postponed six times, although this is not entirely unusual with Blizzard games. Game development started in mid-2001, with a release date of winter 2002-2003. During the summer of 2002, the entire Nihilistic Software development team, the original developer of the game, quit en masse after an internal power struggle with Blizzard.
the first development team, the origianl team had more than 85% of the game engine and 40% of all level design.
Blizzard pushed back the release date of the game to January of 2003, only to push it back to "early summer 2003" in October of 2002.By Christmas 2003, they had found their new development team, but they pushed the date even further backwards to "second quarter of 2004".The game was announced at E3 2005 (and later the date was pushed to September 2005), and the web page was updated for the first time in a year.
In late March 2006, Blizzard Entertainment announced that the game has been "indefinitely postponed" for the PS2 and Xbox.
now it is june 2007, more then six years since they said it was going to be made.
i will belive that starcraft 2 is comeing out, the day i see if on the shelves of best buy in inver grove heights. that will also probbly be the day i buy it, even if i cant run it.
i gave blizzard my hopes for continuation of the starcraft story once, and they failed me. i will be much more skeptical this time!!

True but we can rely on Blizzard for quality, they never released the RPG game Warcraft: War of the Clans due to quality. They instead made warcraft III.
I suspect the same happended to Ghost. In they end they decided Ghost wasn't working out like they hopped and instead switched focus to StarCraft II
