Blizzard Releasing Six Titles Before 2014

[Irridium]

ARGH!!! WHERE'S WARCRAFT 4?!!

Ok, calm. Seriously, I really want my Warcraft 4. I don't like online games, save a small few, so please, give me a new Warcraft game.

I don't think it'll happen, sadly. What with how WoW completely fucked up the lore into... well what it is now.

And if we did get one, we'd probably have to be connected to the internet at all times, which is something I literally cannot do due to my crappy internet.

*sigh* Shit sucks man.

So really they're only releasing TWO titles, Diablo II and Titan.

Oh and four expansions, which are not titles, but in fact extensions of only two previous titles..

Blizzard had long since lost my respect a few years ago. But this completely sets my absolute distaste for them in stone.

and LO the activision monster ruins another valued gaming company
to perpetuate it's own pomposity.

cant say i'm at all surprised, although with blizzard's resources these days they might just manage it.

and yep, star-craft triple launch and the latest wow updates really pushed me off the edge, i don't support them no matter what they do now so call me biased if you want but they're making terrible decisions that annoy their gamers, and mechanics that are far inferior to their previous games.

My guess would be Heart of the Swarm, The protoss campaign, Diablo 3, a WoW expansion, Titan and some other secret project.

That leaves the next MMO with the codename "Titan" a bit in the lurch. We still don't know what IP the massive game will use or if it's a new property altogether.

Yes, we do know. It's been announced and clarified multiple times. It's a new IP.

Yeah, I think they have mentioned a project(not titan by name) that isn't based off of existing IP. But, it's an easy assumption to make that the project they were talking about will probably be 'titan'.

Zerg expac, protoss expac, Diablo III, WoW X4, Wow X5, Diablo III expac.

Warcraft 4 isn't reasonable because WoW has officially taken over that storyline. And titan is supposedly a new IP.

in related news, blizzard lies to gaming press says "(it) doesn't even care anymore"

 

[Eiv]

Vivendi really have a lot to answer for -.-

 

[TheSaw]

Blizzard has yet to announce even the next expansion, but there are rumors swirling that the Pandaren continent will be featured and we'll likely learn more at BlizzCon in October

In an interview, a Blizzard employee said "On Mists of Pandaria: "Most of the time when we do anything panda-related it's going to be a comic book or a figurine or something like that." "

So I doubt one of the expansions will be that, I also hope it isn't, but who knows it might be.

Six?

Yeah. Good luck with that. <- AWESOME SARCASM

Alright Blizzard. I'mma make you EAT YOUR WORDS if you do not deliver.

Six?

Yeah. Good luck with that. <- AWESOME SARCASM

Alright Blizzard. I'mma make you EAT YOUR WORDS if you do not deliver.

You and 50 million other Blizzard fans.

Seriously, not trying to knock them but Blizzard doesn't have the best history of staying on schedule. There's a reason that people place a trademark next to "when it's done" on their forums.

 

[rapidoud]

Blizzard fail to see the fact that people subscribe to get CONTENT FOR 'FREE', NOT TO PAY FOR MORE GOD DAMN EXPANSION PACKS.

Why do we even subscribe now blizzard? (I stopped 2 years ago actually due to crap like this) You want to release more expansions because people clear content so quickly... and now you're just a joke.

 

[Jandau]

1. Heart of the Swarm
2. Diablo 3
3. Whatever name the Protoss expansion will have
4. Diablo 3 expansion
5. New WoW expansion

That leaves us with 1 more. This could be another WoW expansion, another Diablo 3 expansion or another Starcraft 2 expansion. And no, it's not Titan, that thing isn't coming out for another 10 years...

There, I just told you Blizz's lineup for the next three years. Next up, Valve's lineup for the next three years - DotA2, more hats!

 

[BabyRaptor]

Can we get another Fucking WarCraft RTS already? Come on!

 

[Vrach]

You hear that guys? Blizzard to announce up to one new title before 2014!

My thoughts exactly. /internet high five for perception

Campaign for an already existing game that exists largely as a multiplayer (and is thus influenced by a campaign as CoD is by a map pack) doesn't count as a game in my book and WoW has already been on a yearly expansion plan. In fact, last I heard of it, they wanted to change that to a 6 month rotation, so you might just be looking at 3 WoW expansions there really.

Let me see.. 4 expansions, diablo three and something else only equals "Six titles" in the losest possible terms. When did blizzard stop being a gams company and stary being one massive holding pattern?

Oh right yeah...

Oh and Kudos Activision for wanting "Proven titles" yeah we wouldn't want any yucky original ideas in your stagnation and bllshit salad now would we?

Goddamn, that picture... they might as well have painted Kotick with a chain around Blizzard's neck and a text bubble saying "good *****"

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sequels, I think they can be terrific things, I love most sequels that are good and don't ***** at them on principle. But Christ, learn to grow instead of attaching yourself to a huge company like some reverse parasite that just funnels money into it. I mean, if ActiVision was a fantastic company that repeatedly did risky and daring things, I'd even be ok with it, but c'mon.
