    You do realize that Titan's development is long plagued with fanboy bitching about taking away WoW's "A Team" of developers to work on Titan, right?
    About the share holders. Im pretty sure nothing has been said about what Bungie was working on in those meetings so why would anything about titan be said either.
    While I cannot recall the details right now of how both were covered in share holders meetings, Destiny was just officially unveiled. There is not one mention of Blizzard involvement at any step in the process.

    Not to mention there was that 27 page contract between Bungie and Activision, which also made no mention of Blizzard, that went into effect in 2010 at the latest and we have still been getting assurance from Blizzard after that time that they are still working on Titan. And none of the leaks that people hold up to such grand praise have hinted at such a huge change in development (not that this proves anything in my eyes, since I think all the leaks are bunk, but your theory operates on the "Titan = FPS" leak so you must hold them in higher regard than I do).

    Why should it be mentioned at the unveiling. Im just saying my theory of what Destiny used to be. Just because WoW's "A-Team" was working on Titan doesnt mean that they still arent working on it. Like i said i think Titan morphed into Destiny when bungie came and a New Titan started getting developed. This is all assuming Titan was always an FPS. If it wasnt then nvm.

    @Dragothica I see what your saying but i dont think they are targetting the same market of players. Not only is Destiny a console game but Firefall and Planetside not to mention Defiance are such vastly different games. Planetside is just Giant World 3 faction PvP. Its like playing CoD or Battle Field but on an even larger scale. Firefall is an RPG with quest hubs and missions and story, Planetside doesnt have that. Defiance is also more RPGish with Quest hubs and story. Destiny seems like it will play like a halo game but with alot more space With really good AI. I would say imagine the first halo game, you crash on the ring and can explore the entire thing, Except its populated by a hostile alien races that want to kill you. Thats what i think Destiny will feel like.

    I will laugh if Titan makes all FPS's and any attempted MMO outside WoW look laughable. Hell the amount of time, resources, and secrecy on it I expect nothing but that.

    Lets be honest too Blizzard has created 3 of the best franchises in the videogame industry. Halo has mostly been Dethroned to CoD and stolen from the original companys hands by Microsoft. The only thing Bungie accomplished was making a shooter not an MMO.

    Also considering it's Activision Blizzard and not Activision Bungie and I'm sure Blizz pulls profits Bungie could never obtain even in it's wildest dreams they aren't handing off their project to anyone.

    TLDR : Destiny is not Titan because Titan is not going to be console port dogshit. Why the HELL would Blizzard a PC online focused company work on something for 5 years then hand it off and the project broken down and scrapped in console garbage.

    if Destiny wasn't even shown on the main Warcraft fan site ads noone would even be speculating it is Titan. WTF guys.

    Whats the logic going to be next week? That Comic book men is a warcraft spinoff series because they got adspace on MMO champ. Or perhaps the new Rogaine hair suppliment items for your character from the blizzard store ~ too be anounced.

    I hope that they stay away from guns. That would be like WoW with hunter class only.

    Because taking away a huge project being worked on by one of the most successful development studios in the industry and handing it to another would be a big fucking deal.

    For it not to be mentioned in the Activision/Bungie deal would open up a host of legal problems.

    Because if Titan is an FPS and blizzard has never made an FPS why not hand it over to a company that makes oh i dont FPS games? Oh and it has nothing to do with adds on this site. Ive been wanting to know what Titan is just like everyone else for a long time. Also lots of ppl have speculated that Bungie and Blizzard were working on a new game together, I remember seeing a pic multiple times showing Blizz hireing for a next gen MMO with multiple positions available. So next gen MMO, what is a Next Gen MMO? Maybe a MMO on Next Gen Consoles? If so Destiny is going to be released on Next Gen Consoles even more reason to believe that Destiny is the original Titan.

    Im guessing some ppl dont even want to think of this possibility because they love their computer so much and hate consoles and the thought of blizzards next big thing being on console dissapoints them but i didnt say Titan was dead, i just said it got shifted. There will still be a Titan its just a different game than what it previously was, as the guy who created this thread said its now going to be a spin off. So who knows what it will be now.

    All im saying is that IF it was an FPS it makes sense, Blizz has never produced an FPS, Just because your a successful development studio does not mean you can make a FPS let alone a FPSMMO. It makes sense why you would let Bungie handle the FPS side of the game. As for it not being mentioned the investors have no idea what Titan is. Do they know its an MMO? Do they know what Genre it is? Action? FPS? RTS? I thought not. Like i said "Titan" is still being developed its just a different game than it was b4 at least thats what i think. I didnt say "Hey blizz your no longer doing this game, bungie is now doing it, you guys go back to WoW,SC2,D3" What i said was "Hey blizz we got these FPS guys here that are gonna be working on this game and we eventually want them to take it over, in the mean time start developing this new game as we start to phase you out of what we currently have you working on."

    That's just Witcher, and I'm pretty certain the next Witcher after the 3rd one will be MMO.

    If the pvp will be good i will be playing it, also think that a scifi mmo would be nice but i rather have a new ip then a starcraft mmo.

    Diablo is exactly what was promised. Not sure what monstocity players expected between Diablo 2 - now. Did they expect it to be an actual MMO and not a hack and slash loot rpg?

    You seem to think repeating the same thing over and over will eventually make people ignore the holes in your logic.

    Studios that have never worked on a genre of game before can branch out and be successful. Like that little company that made a few puzzle games, RTS games and dungeon crawlers that went on to make the most successful MMORPG of all time. Now what were they called...?

    There's just so much that's wrong with your speculation that it's hard to know where to start.

    Destiny was announced for this gen consoles, not net gen consoles.

    That you would think the term "next gen MMO" refers to a MMO on next gen consoles is weird.

    Blizzard hasn't even bothered to port Diablo 3 to consoles yet even though it's perfectly made for console controllers and you think their next big project that they've been working on for years is going to be console-only.

    Battle.net doesn't work on consoles.

    You are saying Titan is going to be a different game than what it was previously even though you have no proof of what it was before or what it is now.

    Yes Blizzard has said it's a new IP. And then there is this guy who claims that that is not entirely true. Futuristic doesn't sound like Diablo, though, but I would like a source on that.
    They have stated to shareholders their next gen MMO is a new IP. They cannot lie to shareholders. How would in game marketing for current wholesale brands wok in Diablo?

    Cant announce a game to be released on a console that hasnt even been announced yet.

    Actually im saying its my theory. All we have to go on is speculation and im speculating. No one has proof of anything except what has been said publicly.

    That, plus they have talked about the issues with taking a popular long time standing game and making a sequel to it and how it never has worked out. They could risk everything by making WoW 2 and making everyone start all over. I highly doubt that will happen. They Will continue to make upgrades to the engine and possibly convert to a modern one down the road. They have been the king since 2004 and have seen how every other business has failed trying to topple the giant. They are smart enough to not make similar mistakes. Just like they are smart enough not to lie to their investors.

    Sorry if you haven't been paying attention. I don't really feel like schooling you on the entirety of what's known about this project. However, briefly, we do know that it is a MMORPG and most speculation points towards an MMO FPS. While that is unconfirmeds as of yet, it is the leading theory. We also know that it's a new IP and (even less confirmed than it being FPS) many believe it will be space related.

    If you are incapable of drawing connections between that information and what's been announced for Destiny, I'm sorry.
    The only things we know about Titan that are confirmed are that it IS a new IP. It will have in game advertising for actual real world products. And that is will not compete with any of the current Blizzard games. Everything else said about the game is pure speculation and I do my fair share of it. But it is just that. A bunch of nothing crudely pieced together from snip its of interviews, some vague blue posts, "insider" rumors, and guesses from watching their recruitment pages.

    The fact that you say it being a new IP(confirmed by Blizzard), is less confirmed than it being a FPS(pure fan speculation) shows that you cannot school anyone even with the facts blatantly out there for you to see.

    edit: i'm calling it now, titan will be "starcraft: ghost" which they scrapped years ago,( it was supposed to be a fps game) just that instead they will bring something other then starcraft, starting a whole new franchise.
    If that were the case we would have seen that blue post by now. But if you are thinking of the blue post by a former CM at the time he mentioned that it was huge, beautiful, the world was full of life and character and that the game had something for everyone. That was the jist of his post and that was years ago.

It would allow them to market the game as having 3 factions and they could somehow implement a universe with many planets to explore.

    I could be entirely off point, but that's what makes the most sense to me.
    But that was to us not to shareholders. There is a world of difference. Jail time for starters.

    It's interesting that all of the stuff we've heard about Titan sounds like what's in this new game..don't want to irritate the mods so back to Titan specific stuff though, I'll check out the Destiny thread.

    Edit, couldn't find the Destiny megathread and it isn't listed in the megathreads list.... someone should make one or link the existing thread for me plz?
    PURE SPECULATION COMING.

    Maybe Destiny is the Dust 514 to Titan's EVE online?

    People like to refute this for some reason, especially ones that use 'insider sources' as proof. They continuously point that their given source has 'never' been wrong, or always predicted things, etc, etc...even when the person in question admits they are a friend of a friend of 'someone' who works at Blizzard. It's like talking to the mailman's sister of a Blizzard janitor somehow enlightens us on all things we could possibly need to know.

    As a serious statement though, there are ways they can create a new IP but stay within the realm of their currently established ones. It's not really uncommon either. Realistically we would call it a spin off....but that would give too much away too early. Some examples of new IPs from existing IPs would be how they made the show Torchlight from pieces of the Doctor Who universe. Sure it shares some backstory and characters, but the elements that make up the IP are radically different than Doctor Who.

    It would be like Starbucks creating juice shops. Sure they still make beverages, but it's not the same thing.

    Blizzard could easily do this with Starcraft by going many years forwards or backwards from where the games show them to be. You wouldn't have characters from any of the games, protoss and zerg probably wouldn't exist other than myths/easter eggs, and it wouldn't be centered around military campaigns relevant to gameplay in Starcraft. It could be a FPS, it could be action combat, it could honestly be anything.

    I guess the same could be done for Diablo, if you fast forward so many years that the Nephalem are dead legends, magic has ceased to be common, and that world progressed into a science based future. Maybe technomagic if you wanted to keep some fantasy elements.

    Whatever the case, it's fairly easy to establish a new IP with a basis on something else. I guess this is why people are so eager to believe it's nothing new. Idk.

    Except you basically had two games made in that time. Halfway through they scrapped the original D9 team because it was just a spruced up D2 and Blizzard was not happy with the direction and started fresh.
