Blizzard's New MMO Will "Blow People's Minds"

[Twilight.falls]

Ironically enough, not a single quest in WoW involves killing giraffes.

Lost Vikings MMO anyone?

 

[Roggen Bread]

Seriously - why do we need to get away from "slaughter X of type Y"?

If I just want to level a character very fast to enjoy the endgame I do not need big storys or complicated quests where I got to read the text first. I just want to need where to go und which dudes to kill.

Maybe it'll be for free so I can play it . *in denial*

If blizzard wants to make sure Titan doesn't steal WoW players they should make it so if you subscribe to one you subscribe to the other as well. One payment for each.

 

[Soods]

They're calling their own game good? It has to be über good then.
Call me blizzard fanboy or not, but I will surely be playing this.

 

[Blayze]

I'm hoping for a cyberpunk setting. I miss Shadowrun.

 

[Twad]

Wait, will people's minds be blown because it will be -that- good.. or -that- bad?

I might be curious if the battle system is more than blocks of stats fighting other blocks of stats.

Maybe they'll take the millions of dollars they received from World of Warcraft and make it play without subscription.

And the hype machine starts a' rollin

 

[Kroxile]

*yawn* I wonder what they'll rip off this time. Or maybe they'll have you click crap really fast but do it in such a way that to the untrained eye it appears to be skills?

Seriously, blizzard has yet to do anything truly original or even remotely "mind blowing" so to say I have my doubts is putting it lightly to say the least.

Oh, I take it back... the only really mind blowing thing they've ever done was convince 12 million kids that their IPs are original or fresh.

 

[Fappy]

I really hope this sucks. I don't have time for MMO's

 

[RA92]

They will only blow my mind if it turns out to be a resurrection of the Shadowrun MMO project with help from Bungie for the shooter elements. Or maybe a zombie apocalypse survival MMO RPG. Someone's oughta have made that by now.

 

[templargunman]

I highly doubt that blizzard can make a good mmo. I bet it will sell terribly and end up bankrupting blizzard.

 

[sunpop]

Will it have pirates and ninjas and the pirates shoot ninjas at their enemies?

 

[bob1052]

Sams believes that the new MMO won't necessarily steal customers from WoW, but become a second game for Blizzard fans to enjoy at the same time

To me, this says one of two things.

Either it will be free to play, or this guy needs to get his head checked.
Heres hoping its not the latter.

 

[Wolfenbarg]

Is it possible that this isn't even an RPG? They said it would be complimentary rather than competitive, and I think the only way to make that absolutely true is to go for a different audience entirely. I would be quite excited if this wasn't another formula whore like WoW was and tried to bring another platform into the age of massively multiplayer gaming.

 

[A_Libertarian]

*yawn* It's World of Starcraft. We all know it is. No surprises coming.

If content were pylons, this article couldn't build a probe.

 

[CommanderKirov]

Gee golly. Breaking news indeed.

...

Talk about a slow day.
