Blizzard confirms 'Titan' as their new MMO.

So is it a new IP or StarCraft or Halo or what?

Whatever it is, I'd love to see an FPS MMO. Especially if it was sci-fi themed.

It is a brand new IP. And I would surprised if it wasn't Console only (Blizzard doesn't want to do cross desktop/couch ports).

why would they even want to make another MMO

they want to conquer the universe or something ?

yeah why would they want to make another game that could make them billions of dollars?

There is no way this is another 15 dollar a month WoW style MMORPG. No reason to make such a thing when they can keep WoW going for 10 more years.

Yeah but the government keeps printing more, they have to keep up.

I wonder if the $15/month WOW subscription will cover for the new MMO.

I doubt it.

I'm still on my $20 WOW pack deal from last month. Subscription expires on the 26th.

never heard about the cat, apparently
it takes too damn long to make a mmo and they have such a long lifespan that highly doubt it will be on the console. Also, they seem to be doing just fine by supporting only the PC.

Diablo III and Heart of the Swarm seem to be planned for late 2011, at least one of them is bound to get delayed. Also, Titan and the fifth WoW expansion in the same quarter means it is likely Titan will be veeeery different to WoW.

found it, Hope D3 is coming fall 2011, and I am glad they are planning for more than 1 Diablo expansion. Also what the fuck is StarCraft 2 Phoenix.

now what is SC2Phoenix.

Sequel to the Viking minigame in SC2 right now.

Or a brand new Blizzard developed Space Sim.

One of these seems more likely that the other.

It's probably when they planned on fixing the Phoenix Graviton Lift bug, luckily they were ahead of schedule and it only took them 3 or 4 weeks to fix.

:lol

Okay, I like your answer better.

All of the names on the chart were from pre-existing rumors. I find it highly unlikely that Blizzard would even be casually targetting specific quarters almost five years in a advance. It's probably some list made by somebody that spent an hour looking at Blizzard rumor forums, and had at least some historical understanding of how spaced-out Blizzard expansions are, or the timeframe between reveal and release.

(SC Phoenix is a name for a rumored remake of SC1 using SC2 mechanics and graphics).

If I had to hazard as guess as to what Starcraft Phoenix is, I think it might be a remake of the Starcraft 1 campaign using the SC2 engine. Probably rerecord lines from the new voice actors and release it as a $10 campaign or something.

Its called strategy & planning.

Ten dollars says Titan is codename for World of Starcraft or something similar.

i'll take that. it's going to be an original IP more likely. It won't be anything like WoW and free to play.

Not arguing for the veracity of the leak, as it could easily be assembled by an outside party, but it's not beyond the pale for Blizzard to be internally targeting specific quarters, and I imagine that's exactly what they do. If they need to restructure that's one thing, but they damn sure have plans about what's going to come out when.

The only real difference is that they don't announce those until very late in the cycle and are presumably more willing to delay a game for polish.

But honestly, that far? For a company that essentially never announces release dates until a few months in advance, or until the beta is winding down?

And why the hell would the movie be targeted that specifically so far in advance, without any director officially attached?

It all just strikes me as vague educated guesses by any schmuck that's watched Blizzard for years. Agreeing with a leaked codename means virtually nothing.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
This is exactly what Blizzard should NOT be concentrating on.

Their trio is something you do not want to fuck with. Just leave it alone, Blizzard.

Never realized that there are 2 Diablo 3 expansions on that leak. Yay!...I guess.

They shouldn't try to develop new IP? I disagree.
