Blizzard Hiring for "Unannounced Game"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Talked to my highly placed source in Blizz:
-Not Warcraft (they don't want to compete with themselves)
-Not a known IP
-probably 3 years off, and probably won't even be announced before BlizzCon '13.
That is all he could tell me, because apparently, the NDA that Blizzard uses are legendary.
Many Bothans died to bring us this information. (Wait, that'd be Bioware, wouldn't it?)

Hey Blizzard! I hear you're hiring. I'm leaving university this year, I'll be free for employment from September, I am currently a Bachelor of Science, but if I graduate this semester, will become a Master of Science, Which I'm pretty sure means I can shoot lightening from my hands jedi knight style, and accurately predict what the weather is like outside, in real time.
My experience in the gaming industry include being able to beat super mario brothers 1984 on the gameboy in under four minutes, without dying. Discovering a safe way through the D-Day landing minefield in Medal of Honor Frontline, [footnote]which I have yet to see anyone else reference, and must therefore assume I am the only one to have discovered it, (The trick is to go to the other side of the barbed wire)[/footnote] Completed Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to 98% success overall, and completed Modern Warfare 1 in less than 5 hours on my first campaign playthrough.
I own an authentic "Vault Dwellers Survival Guide" and have extensive experience in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Google Sketchup. I do not know what a "Tools engineer" is, but I own a scale ruler, and have built several Ikea flatpacks, including a chest of drawers, a cabinet and a laundry basket.
I am a trustworthy fellow, as my 100% legal copy of Adobe CS5 on my laptop proves, and am good at arbitrating between arguments, and seeing both sides of a situation; in Knights of the Old Republic I successfully managed to fully resolve the argument between the Sandral and the Matale family to the mutual benefit of all parties involved, netting myself a craptonne of lightside points in the process. I think we can all agree that was the hardest side quest on Dantooine.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My thoughts exactly. Quit screwing those of us who have money waiting for you already!Iklwa said:
Best guess, It's a new IP. No other option makes sense, at least to me. What I do think however, is that it will be a genre that Blizzard hasn't touched base on yet. A FPS is likely, given that they tend to cater to PC gaming and Shooters work best on PC's. So it's another great genre for Blizzard to shine in. Not to mention the HUGE market there is right now for shooters. I think they intend to break the mold that most shooters fall under that make them all almost identical to each other. They want to revolutionize the shooter genre.
If this is true, I MORE than welcome it. There are SO few shooters that have a decent amount of creativity and storyline, which Blizzard excels at. This game (still assuming its a shooter) would be the equal to Valve's Half Life. That's what I'd expect anyway. Regardless of what the game is though, I can't wait to play it. Blizzard is the SHIT!!
