Bah.

Well it's not like all hope is lost. But I can only wonder what it could be now.

If it isn't Diablo 3, I'll forgive PC Gamer for the tease if it's Homeworld 3, System Shock 3, or Freespace 3.

We need a legendary threequel to a legendary series.

Total Annihilation 2? Maybe Relic is starting early on a CoH sequal?

....MDK3?

Maybe it's Obsidian creating Fallout 3.

Oh wait.

Sigh.

Wasn't there a persistent rumor that the next Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic could go MMO? Maybe....just maybe...

Total Annihilation 2 = Supreme Commander. Nobody else is touching that for now. System Shock 3 isn't happening yet for sure. I could see Homeworld 3, though... there'd be a market for it, but I'd also imagine Relic is busy with DoW2.

Yes, there has been a rumor swirling around about a KotoR MMO for a while.

I personally can not take another tank/healer/dps archetype for an MMO. If they do create a KotoR MMO I hope they can come up with a new type of game.

[QUOTE="cobrax75"]

I didnt believe that Diablo 3 could possibly be announced either...but almost everything seems to be leading up to it.

you could be right about the "cencored" part, it doesnt neccesarily imply Blizzard.

But Canada isnt exacly very far away...and their are a considerable amount of canadian developers.

It could be Battlefield 3 though...if they mentioned Sweden, it would have bassiclly given it away right away.

PBSnipes

But Bioware is the only big-time PC developer in Canada (the only other one I can think of is Relic, and they wouldn't have the Earth-shattering announcement PC gamer is promising), and judging by the amount of hype they're giving this announcement you have to figure it's coming from either Blizzard, Bioware or Valve (the only PC-centric developers that have enough clout for this type of hype IMO). Even then, Starcraft 2 info wouldn't be too big a deal barring something major like the inclusion of a 4th race, and Valve is most likely working on HL2: Ep 3; a big deal, but nothing we don't know about. Add in the fact that A) we know Bioware's MMO has been playable for a while, B) EA specifically listed it as a reason for aquiring Bioware/Pandemic and C) Bioware has been pretty quiet for a while now, especially on the PC front (lets face it, Mass Effect PC isn't that big a deal) and I think Bioware is the best bet.

Irvine is obvious also.

And Blizzard has several teams right now. and the time seems right because Starcraft 2 is probably 6 months or less from release. Just because Blizzard has been a small, quiet developer before now doesn't mean that the now enormous behemoth that they are now wants to stay quiet about games that are in development.

horrowhip

But from a marketing point of view it doesn't make sense. Blizzard wants to get people talking about and hyping up Starcraft 2, not a game like Diablo 3 that wouldn't be released until 2009 (at the earliest).

With that in mind, maybe Starcraft: Ghost is coming back from the dead. :lol:

Stop giving me false hope.... :cry:

Is it just me or was Homewrold 2 an extremely brutal game as far as difficulty? That game drove me crazy. But I still really liked it.

I think Homeworld games in general had a ruthless/brutal AI. :D Or maybe it's just Relic games in general. I remember the Dawn of War AI being far and away tougher than C&C or Warcraft AI at an equal level, and Company of Heroes' is also a lot nastier on any real difficulty.

Agreed, they need to figure out something new for MMO's.

I'll put in probably the most unrealistic guess: Grim Fandango 2.

Homeworld 2 really sticks out for me though. I just recall starting that game up and right away, on the very first level, you had to be paying attention and micro managing your attacks or you would fail, hard.

I am usually in a mode where I sleep walk through the first few levels until the real game starts, but Homeworld 2 just tanks you right away if are not on your toes.

Company of Heroes is hard for me to judge. I loved the game so much I did not notice the difficulty, I was just into the game to much to bother pulling my hair out.

Is there anything on the horizon that is different? I was just about to start playing EVE online but I am having video card troubles that are preventing me from trying until I do something about them. That, or turn the setting down so low it will not over heat my card. But we are talking really low. No AA and shadows. The only game not giving me trouble is WoW and I can not stomach another day of that.

Age of Conan changes up the combat paradigm a bit and makes it much more involved, but quest-wise and all it's the same as before. There must be something on the horizon that's different, though.

It has to be either Diablo 3 or Half lie 3 or 4(since valve said the episodes were hl3 for some reason) for me to care, i never played SS2 or any of those really old shooters. I think blizzard could easily make D3 now they r a monster as long as it doesn't delay the release of SC2 im fine :D.

[QUOTE="WhatTheDunk"]PC gaming is dead. Only reason games like the Sims were popular was because everyone already owned a computer for other things.Danm_999

I suppose the fact it makes more money globally than any single platform is its death rattle?

And for those out there wondering the 30% numbers DO NOT include subscriptions (WoW).
