Blizzard new game hype?

[Jeezy911]

Obviously it's just WC4, no big deal.

Maybe... blizzard is more into copying games and I can't think of any new popular ips they could rip off.

More likely just working on expansions or trying to get people to play heroes of the storm again.

Wow, such hostility!
Anyways, "new" genres they could "rip off" would be a open world survival game like Ark or Conan Exiles.

Blizzard did not bring a 4X strategy game yet.

That won't work. Blizzard would need to sell it on steam so it could be stuck for years in early access. Without that, you just can't have survival game.

Not sexy enough of a genre.

They managed to make card games mainstream. So why not 4X strategy?

But probably you are right.

It's a flight-sim - made just to troll everyone that wants flying in WoW.

Let's hope it will be good

4 More openings for unannounced project

It's true though, Blizzard is known for taking a genre that's already established itself and refining the hell out of it.

I think you mean making them more casual.

[Super Kami Dende]

if only they would make an open world RPG along the lines of Skyrim or Witcher 3, but set in Blizzard lore universe

Generally comes with being refined. Most games they "copied" were only Hardcore because they were had shitty implementation that was anti-intuitive to players.

God yes please!

[fangless]

Next game will be a "The Sims" clone just with Orcs and Elves.

Your character wouldnt drive to work he would travel to his raid every day and bring home dkp instead of money.

Sign me up

It's what we've never known we wanted, but could really use.

Not lucrative enough for Blizzard. Their thing is about making games, preferably multiplayer centric, that they can milk for every penny over a long period of time. Complex single player games like Skyrim or Mass Effect tend to be a one-time sale, with not a whole lot going in the ways of microtransactions prolonging the game, or with crappy, easy to make content like the seasons in Diablo 3.

That's why I doubt Blizzard will ever touch single player games again.

Diablo 3 is one example and it's a hard game to monetize really.

It is when it is completely neglected yeah. I still like D3 the most out of the games in it's genre but Path of Exile has brought loads of new skills, a new act ( and 5 more acts to come this year with the next free expansion ) and a lot of new systems such as advanced classes etc.

In the same period of time Diablo 3 brought...legendaries with higher numbers than the previous legendaries.

I hate to say it but Diablo 3 really is the bastard child of blizzard that gets no attention at all. Path of Exile lives and grows while being a completely free game with free expansions thanks to the cosmetic cash shop. Nothing pay to win, no experience nonsense, buying ingame currency for real cash and that kinda nonsense. I fully understand Diablo 3 having a lack of patches since they simply have no money income, which feels silly seeing how all other current blizzard games have a decent cash shop.

But meh blizzard doesn't seem to care so why should we, at least somewhere later on in the year we will get necromancer as a paid class lol.
