Does unannounced mean Titan then possibly? Or does the fact we know it has a codename of Titan mean it's technically announced?

[Sevyvia]

Seeing his behavior and what D3 turned into, I'm not very hopeful for whatever unannounced game this may be.

It's probably Titan. Hopefully he does a good job this time

[Zogarth]

He mentioned Warhammer. THQ resently started selling out IP's and Warhammer is one of them. Could be something to do with that.

He did a fantastic job on d3, can't wait for the next best selling blizzard game from the wonders of Jay Wilson.

[Darksoldierr]

Lets hope so, hes back on RTS genre

[Mr Anderson]

Good for him.

[Enjeh]

Well since Titan is already "announced" It's most likely whatever this game is.
Made that one a while ago (before they change it from BlizzDota to Allstars~), they seem to have found someone since it's not on that page anymore. : p

I hope this new game will have a RMAH.

And some irony detectiun skillz

Great, now he can fuck that game up and be a dick about it too.

[anotherdeadhero]

Diablo mmo?

[Larath]

I thought the blizzard dota was blizzard allstars and kinda already announced, maybe I'm wrong though.

Warhammer is not an IP to be sold, merely the rights to make it are, the rights of Warhammer rest firmly within GamesWorkshops hands.

And considering the track record for Blizz and GW, you have a better chance of watching hell freeze over.

I bet people will blame him when it turns out Titan is a more casual MMO than WoW - even if it was supposed to appeal to a wider audience from day 1.

Considering he's the game director and any game he has been given any leeway with has turned to crap, not at all against the fact that Jay Wilson IS the problem.

I Do not care how casual Titan is going to be, He has proven that he is not a competent game director, Diablo 3 is testament to that.

[stellvia]

I doubt they will get Warhammer. That WOULD be ironic though, given Warcraft and therefore Blizzard, was born out of the Warhammer license originally. And the name was changed from BlizzDOTA probably because Valve got the DOTA guys and released DOTA2.

As far as Jay Wilson goes: I think Diablo3 is too large of a project to pin everything on one person, even the game director. I'm sure that game had heavy oversight from higher ups in the company, and a lot of stuff is decided in meetings and by committee in big projects like that. So I think it's too convenient to just blame it all on him. Dawn of War was a good game before that, albeit Relic certainly dragged their heels on patching it regularly, which is what caused me to stop playing it about 3 months after release.

And I think it would be more of a surprise at this point if Titan turned out to NOT be very casual friendly. The precedent has been set with WoW, and the crowd they're likely to go after with the game is more of the COD/Madden type casual players. Not to say there won't be harder elements to it, but... And him walking into Titan when it's already into the content creation and art asset phase, I doubt he would be able to sway the design much. He probably won't be the top director for it, if it is Titan.

I was searching for this too. There was a new MMO AND other unannounced game title like a year ago in Blizz careers!

[Notamonk]

I heard speculations that it might be an fps-mmo, but then again. What can you believe on the internet these days?

[Darksoldierr]

Heh, just realised, imagine when they announce that game, and Jay Wilson walks out, just like in D3, i wonder how will be the reactions...


I bet someone else will demo that game

I don't know what to think about this...

I think this is not a clue to him being on Titan... this is more a clue to Warcraft IV.

I mean... Blizzard + Warhammer = Warcraft RTS. It's a bit of a no-brainer...

PS. Titan, I believe, is being headed by Tigole if my memory serves me correctly.
