Blizzard's new game

[Thrik]

There's been a bit of internets excitement recently based on a rumour that Blizzard said all their franchises would become MMOs. This has supposedly not only been denied, but they've also confirmed that they have no MMO game plans at all beyond future WoW expansions.

It could end up being a twist of the year and not being an RTS either.

Ugh. No more MMO's they're as common as WW2 shooters and as boring.

Well...I would expect they're working on a WOW for 360/PS3 type project.

its going to be called Rockin Roll Racing 8 for the xbox750

I have no clue where people would ever get the idea that this was or is ever going to happen. Blizzard doesn't do console games anymore

Yes...my mistake. You are correct, sir. :chap: World of Starcraft sounds like it's gonna be it.

Things that made wow get the subscribers they have:

- The hype it generated.

- The hype blizzard gets anyway.

- Ability to buy prepaid cards what made it better accessable outside the US. People generally don't have credit cards in europe and when they have, don't trust is so much online, for DAOC I paid the subscriptions for 5-6 people ...

- Newbie friendlyness.

The endgame is not better then any other mmo out there so calling WOW a better game is something I disagree with, its sure is a more succesfull game, but for a large part that is not the effect of being a better game.

I think i remember reading somewhere that they are thinking about making an MMO, but it won't be anything even close to WoW (so worlf of starcraft/diablo) is out of the question. I think it was something more real-life like. Would be very blizzard to take the best from every "RL simulator" game out there and make the perfect MMO about it.

So what i think is that they will either announce this MMO project, or the starcraft 2 / diablo 3.

Personally I think it's starcraft 2, since its the best game in the universe and the rts genre needs a new starcraft

Same timeline running there as on http://www.blizzard.com.

See my post above, it almost certainly won't be an MMO.

With this new evidence from Zacker it seems almost certain the game is Starcraft 2.
