Blue's News: Comments - On Blizzard's 4th Game

On Blizzard's 4th Game

[Jul 02, 2008, 09:55 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Reports like this one on StarCraftWire indicate Blizzard is working on an unannounced MMOG, so folks are sending in tips about the news. The thing is this is the exact same story that was reported in December 2007 (story), down to the fact that it is based on the same job listing from the time. We tend to ignore previously reported news here, but the flood of mail about this makes me think this may not be the right approach. I'll have to contemplate this, but I think I may have to start re-reporting some of these things just to make things easier on those helpfully trying to keep us informed.

	Just going to mention that this isn't old news at all. That Blizzard are looking for "next gen MMO devs" is old, sure, but the fact that this ISN'T Hydra/Diablo III is very new, and very fresh. It's basically a confirmation that they have 4 teams, and not 3, which was only speculations in the past.

	World of Starcraft will be the best kept secret since Draenei were announced as the second race for Burning Crusade. :p No surprises. Nothing to see here. Move along.

	dont bother applying to any Blizzard jobs, unless u personally worked on something like Lord of the Rings and called peter jackson, they wont hire you. fucking fat taRDS So they're looking for the best candidates available. I'm sure they get hundreds if not more of applications from people with qualifications such as "I raid a lot, hire me plz" or similar. I WANT them to hire the best of the best. - - - - - - AoC: Darsius (Cimmeria) -- CoH: Photon Prime (Freedom) -- TF2 and CoD4 (and other random FPSes): Slink(FSU)

	I bet the Blizzard guys really want Ghosts to come back considering the Ghost game was canned.

	I'm not even a fan of Starcraft and I'd give my left nut for a WoS. There's no good sci-fi character-based MMO's to compete with it. Lvl 80 Ghost LFG?

	As I stated before, I think they could tie in all 3 worlds into 1 MMO.... Level 90 Death Knight versus Level 90 Protoss Zealot versus Level 90 Witch Doctor... place your bets! ----- http://www.gamemusicjukebox.com/ Game p/reviewer for http://www.gameindustry.com/

	Because StarCraft is a RTS like WarCraft? I'm guessing the same sort of armor and weapons. They're a little too similar... As I stated before, I think they could tie in all 3 worlds into 1 MMO....

	kxmode, I could see that happening with Starcraft, but I think it would be stupid for Blizzard to make a Diablo MMO at this point in time. It's just too similar to WoW.

	you mean reading up on as much warhammer 40k they can seeing as blizzard just do not do ideas of their own. What?

	I also have to say "World of Starcraft". The videos from Starcraft II give a distinct impression that they are developing the world for this very purpose. It will be the launching pad, just like Warcraft III was for World of Warcraft. you mean reading up on as much warhammer 40k they can seeing as blizzard just do not do ideas of their own.

	As I remember from a recent Blizzcast, Blizzard decided to release Warcraft III as a single-player game then continue as a MMO. It's possible Blizzard wants to repeat this formula with Diablo III and StarCraft II. Instead of building the nextgen MMO engine for a Diablo MMO or StarCraft MMO they could build it for both. Could you imagine Blizzard with three MMOs? Talking about dominating the market to the nth degree. ----- http://www.gamemusicjukebox.com/ Game p/reviewer for http://www.gameindustry.com/

	Come on Rob, everyone knows it's World of Starcraft. Just announced it But ... we haven't done any of our splash screens yet! We can't announce a new game without splash screens. Don't you like the splashes?
