[News] Blizzard to start new RTS project?

I was sure that most people agreed that "Oblicion" turned out pretty awesome. I thought it was better than Morrowind (but not as good at Daggerfall).

Anyway, I do love Starcraft to death, though not as much as Total Annihilation. But I have my doubts that Blizzard can make a real game anymore. I think WoW will be their undoing (kinda like Ultima Online was Origin's undoing). A MMORPG just sucks up so much attention.

But I'll certainly hope for the best if they do start developing it, and if they don't announce the game after all, I'll consider that good news.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah I have to agree that Oblivion did turn out well. Even with its flaws, it is a very enjoyable game. Especially on PC because of the modding improvements/changes/fixes. It's a very fulfilling game, though definitely imperfect.

As to the Blizzard releasing a new one, I'd really like it to be a new Diablo more than a new Starcraft. I never played Diablo, and I'd rather come into the series with a fresh new 3D version. I just can't see trying to pick up Diablo II at this point. Starcraft is cool, but I just can't enjoy THAT fast paced of RTS game. I'm more a turn-based guy or slower-paced RTS.

Needless to say, either game would be amazing assuming they will be as good as we are imagining them to be .

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

LOL!!!!! I soooooo agree with you. Anybody who plays WOW should be hit in the head with a stick and told that they are wasting thier life. And if they choose to go back than it's thier own fault. I'm no hater i just had all my friends ditch me to play WOW so i had no life for like a month; than thank god their trial period ran out.

And by two months do you mean actual hours spent on the game? or like months "actively" engaged.

They could just as easily concentrate on theyre precious WoW and still put out another StarCraft.

What the fuck are you even saying? At first I thought you were trying to implyt aht Blizzard didn't already have RTS by the balls. But now you're talking about I dont even fucking know anymore.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I kinda butchered that last one with my terrible grammar, but what I was basically saying was that Blizzard could put out a new RTS (Starcraft 2), and be the kings of RTS games once again, while simultaneously being the kings of the MMORPG category with WoW. That in turn would put Blizzard over the top as the best PC game maker ever.

Not sure why I responded. I dont even remember when I posted that, or why.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nay. Its all opinion based. Personally I wouldn't even count Blizzard makes decent games now. WC3 wasn't so much of strategy unless you count hardcore players. SC on other hand... people were abusing attack canceling animation.

But when it comes to MMORPG I have to admit they done pretty good job. But in reality there are tons that kills WoW's population.

FELIPE NO

It's not like Blizzard had to try hard to dominate the MMORPG genre. It was a genre mostly resorted to by third rate companies deserate for some cash to stop them from going under. Blizzard were the first competant game developer to release a an MMO. Any company with a quality control department could've pulled it off.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Great news. Hopefully not a Warcraft one; something else.

And I'm just thinking that Ghost may be postponed like Duke Nukem or something for whatever years. I mean Prey was 10 years in development so I guess Ghost can go down in that lane.

Most amazing jew boots

Pffft ... SC Ghost looked like shit anyway. I hope they never release it.
With luck they'll release Starcraft 2 which will convert everyone from SC, WC3, and WoW.
I quit playing WC3: Frozen Throne cause it died out so badly that it just wasn't worth my time. My Friends list was always empty, my clan died out, and having an AMM system to play on in which you lose half your games was just crap. Took the fun out of it.
