Blizzard's Next Online Game

http://kotaku.com/5252209/blizzards-next-online-game-is-completely-originalDreams of World of StarCraft are dashed as a blue poster in the World of Warcraft forums confirms that

Blizzard's next massively multiplayer online game is part of a brand new franchise.

Responding to a forum post suggesting that there was no new online game coming from Blizzard because they hadn't begun advertising it yet, Blizzard poster Zarhym explains that the game is a new franchise being created entirely from the ground up.

We have nothing to advertise for the new MMO because it's a shell of a game thus far. We've already stated it'll be a brand new franchise, which means the lore, art, and game play are being developed entirely from scratch. It's an overwhelming process, but a process through which we excel. Our track record supports this.

He mentions that Blizzard had already stated this, but it's news to us. Consider it stated. Disappointing news for those hoping for a massively multiplayer StarCraft or Lost Vikings title, but it'll be nice to see what Blizzard does with its first new IP in eleven years.


Let's hope they don't get greedy and fuck up their reputation....oh wait they already did.

That is the biggest load of shit ever. The Lost Vikings (an average game at best) is their only original IP they have successfully completed.

Warcraft is a ripoff of Warhammer Fantasy (court cases prove it).

Starcraft is a ripoff of Warhammer 40K.

Ghost was going to be the only original game they would have made recently and they scrapped that. Enjoy your AIDS.

I will be playing WAR until 40K online comes out.

Yes, but they were actually writing an entire back story and creating an FPS. But it was too hard for them. You have to be able to count over 9000.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to list all the RTS games you have played over the years. I would like to know what is the basis of comparison for your statement.

I hate the company as much as anyone but I'm sure Warhammer ripped off LOTR. The company had problems making console games since they never made one before, that's why ghost was canceled. I read articles that the game was decent shape but blizzard scrapped it cuz it was not perfect. As much as I hate the company, I have to admit they make great games. They might be greedy cock sucking Jews but they make great games.

You can't say Ghost is an original franchise, because it's just a spinoff of Starcraft. I can't imagine what they think they're going to do that isn't medieval, isn't space and isn't vikings. Those are pretty much all the standard MMO type worlds. Medival, space, and pirates. And I really hope they aren't doing pirates.

So it's probably a space game that's NOT associated with Starcraft, or a medieval game that's not Warcraft lore. Which is kind of stupid. Warcraft is all played out, so they need to move away from that, but do they really want to do ANOTHER medieval game. The only possibly good thing would be that they bought out that French studio that picked up the game rights to the Song of Ice and Fire series and Blizzard is actually working on that IP.

"More broad appeal" for Blizzard MMO

"What we've announced at Blizzard is that we have StarCraft coming, Diablo has been in production... and a new, unannounced MMO that has a little more broad appeal." - aka more casual.

Only $260? Ouch. I got $500 the first time I sold a character less than a year after the game was out... switched factions, got two 60s, quit for a while, came back for TBC, got them to 70 with a bunch of Kara gear in the first month, sold those for $700, and then haven't looked back.
