Remember when the rumors said that WoW would come to consoles back in 06:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Blizzard-is-Considering-a-World-of-Warcraft-Console-Port-34357.shtml (cant linkify, sue me :P)

That never happened ... I doubt that any of this is true.

[QUOTE="Ultizer"]

they are not making another MMO

full stop

Ravenchrome

Yes.

They.

Are.

Seriously, why is it such a problem for you that they're making another MMO?

He is worried as he is probably an EA fanboy worrying that the Blizzard MMO will be more polished, innovate and better than SW:TOR due to it's Blizzard and the constant streaming of money from WoW.

they have 12mil subs, they dont need to risk losing them by making another MMO

also TOR will flop, i hate EA

and how did Wow innovate? it was the Casual mass market version of Everquest, thats all it ever was and still is, i raged so hard when Gametrailers said it was the most revolutionary game of the decade

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Not really. Blizzard will just rip from different games. I epect it to be science-fiction action-based MMO. Blizz will have plenty of time to look at titles like Global agenda, APB, Dark Millenium Online and look at how to pull it off and how to improve on them. Blizzard never innovated before and they aren't going to start now, that's simply not their forte.

Also..please...Bioware has innovated far more in it's career than Blizzard did, it's just that innovation itself isn't the end of all.

waltefmoney

Bioware only made one genre, while Blizzard dabbled in many and dominate in them.

Uhm, MDK2(shooter)? Shattered Steel(Sci-fi mech simulator)?

Did they excel in those game? NO.

I did not say WoW is innovative, I said Blizzard MMO has to be innovative and with the money they have now, they can take more risk than EA as EA is not in a very good financial position now.

Don't you think a company would be smart enough to realize that? the new MMO is aimed to be geared towards the casual market. They're making another MMO. Get over it. That doesn't mean they'll drop support for WoW though.

Screw WC4. I want blizzard to put every ounce of talent and money they have at completely SC2 and Diablo 3. I've had to put up with Warcraft since 2002. Let the series die.

I HIGHLY doubt this. Unless it introduces new story elements we've never seen, then there's no reason to make another entry in the Warcraft series. WoW will carry out the story until the end.

SAGE_OF_FIRE
They already confirmed they plan to make Warcraft 4, I doubt it will come to consoles.

well that is if activision doesn't really have a say in it.

Honestly, if its for consoles as well then I hope they have seperate studios for the different versions because we know RTS are meant for PC. Other than that, this sounds great. I am a fan of the Warcraft RTS.

no its always awesome if an rts comes from blizzard. And both the sc and wc rts are different, sc is now the normal way with mass units while wc3 was an rpgrts, even the only one that i know that worked well with that mixture. Its not like you have to buy warcraft.

Why is it ment for PC? Especially when Sony allows for Mouse and Keyboard support and for the most part dev's can do what they want on PSN with few limitations... Its not Xbox Live.

It's not about me "having to buy" warcraft, it's about Blizzard allocating resources to another game. I would like to see them do another project, non warcraft related. What ever speeds up the release of the next two Starcraft 2 games and Diablo 3 is a plus in my book.

1. We all know there wouldn't be enough people buying a Keyboard/mouse for WC4 to warrant making the game on consoles. Not to mention they would have to program the game in a way that it supports it.

2. I'm not sure the PS3 could handle the number of units/battles that would happen. Yes there has been RTS on consoles such as Halo Wars on the 360 but it doesn't even compare to the battles found in WC3.

3. Don't think there's enough of a fanbase on consoles for RTS games.

I'm not 100% sure about this but they have their seperate groups for each game. I don't think it's all the same people who work on each series.

And the Warcraft Series is amazing. It's a completely different style of gameplay than Starcraft and a lot of people love it. It's not dying anytime soon nor should it.

assuming everyone that were to pick up the PS3 ver of the game would even have a mouse and keyboard. So far im not seeing many developers even take advantage of that feature for the ps3.

You really do not understand what will happen to WC4 if it went to consoles. I dont think you can comprehend it. Or else you wouldn't have made that comment. This coming from someone who is a PC/360/PS3/Wii owner.

It would also be way, way worse since you couldn't use your action bar or interface effectively at all.

of course they're not gonna do a warcraft game. it would impact starcraft 2 sales, in the end, it boils down to the simple question: is this a good business decision? and the answer is obviously NO. at least for now...

They'll make a warcraft game, it'll just be WoW, the latest expansion, considering how big that fanbase already is. This rumor reeks of BS anyway.

I would love Warcraft IV ... as long as it was more like Warcraft II (awesome!) and not so much Warcraft III (not quite so awesome).

And for all you saying a console version will never exist and spell doom for the franchise, I'd just like to point out that Warcraft II and Starcraft were on consoles as well.

This time will be different though, it needs to be different from WoW, which means more radical than SW:TOR and Guild Wars.

Ravenchrome

Not really. Blizzard will just rip from different games. I epect it to be science-fiction action-based MMO. Blizz will have plenty of time to look at titles like Global agenda, APB, Dark Millenium Online and look at how to pull it off and how to improve on them. Blizzard never innovated before and they aren't going to start now, that's simply not their forte.

Also..please...Bioware has innovated far more in it's career than Blizzard did, it's just that innovation itself isn't the end of all.

Bioware only made one genre, while Blizzard dabbled in many and dominate in them.

Actualy that's not true. But overall, yes.. Blizzard is more varsalite, doesn't change the fact that Bioware is more innovative though.

Same, I am super excited! Depressed they killed Illidan in WoW though... The coming of Warcraft 4 must mean the ending of WoW, their new MMO expected release date is in a few years

[QUOTE="shakmaster13"]I highly doubt there's any truth to this. Diablo 3 isn't even released yet and Starcraft 2 isn't done yet. Let's not forget the next WoW expansion and their new MMO. The odds of this game being announced this Blizzcon is almost 0, and the odds of them releasing it in 2012 is even less.aaronmullan
The WoW expansion is coming out on December 7th, so they're basically done. Also, Blizzard know how to work on multiple projects and make them awesome. I think Cataclysm is the last or second last expansion for WoW and after that WCIV is the next step for Warcraft.

There's taking it to at least level 100, meaning that's at least one more expansion, and possibly two (if the next goes up 5 like Cataclysm, and the final one another 10). That would take it up to 2014, the tenth anniversary of WoW. Seems like as good a time as any to finish it up.

Sure Starcraft was on the N64 but it still had poor controls. It's just not the same, really. And that was a long time ago.

they have 12mil subs, they dont need to risk losing them by making another MMO

Ultizer

Why Blizzard should care if people would jump from WoW to their new MMO? They are still playing Blizzard's MMO. Also, making a totally different MMO compared to WoW will probably bring them new players who aren't interested in WoW. Only risk they have is that the new MMO will flop, but knowing Blizzard's talent and fan base I think that's unlikely. And even if it did, Blizzard still have WoW and their other games.

MS wont do it, did you guys see what they said about FF14? Not only that but MS is to stuck up to allow Mouse and keyboard support. However Sony allows M/kb and im sure they could make it work for the Wii and Move...Kokuro_Kun

RTS could be made to work on Kinect and Move. I don't think KB/M is required.
