Blizzard new MMO (Titan) Theories...What do you all think?

[Baz]

MMO FPS is an interesting idea, but if executed badly it could end up being a disasterous flop.

I heard that Blizzard are working with Bungie (Creators of Halo) on this MMOFPS game. The gods of MMO and the gods of FPS come together and make a game? What could possibly go wrong?

Since when did Bungie become the gods of FPS? They release good games but there not legendary

Borderlands - But more MMO'y would be sweet.

Bungie changed the genre forever. If it wasn't for them, games such as Call of Duty wouldn't exist. They nailed the controls, made FPS games playable on consoles. Bungie have done so much for the gaming industry, but no one knows about it.

Activision made a deal with Bungie and not Blizzard. So it's not about Titan. Also, Activision is only the publisher and has nothing to do with the development, which will remain completely under Bungie's roof. Here is the official press release: http://investor.activision.com/relea...leaseID=464918

I was playing 007 goldeneye on console before halo was released. But if anything they redefined console fps that doesnt make them gods of the entire fps genre

blizzard probably believes that Titan will have as many or more subs then WoW does, which just won't happen, there won't ever be another mmo who has such a high population ever again, and even now wow's subs are dropping because now, there are actually other options for other mmos to play which are decent, if not out right now soon to be released, blizzard should have used the few years head start to revolutionize the mmo genre instead, they just made it go stale and now look what is happening, anyway got a feeling titan won't be too amazing.

I can't see Blizzard moving away from the successful character view they use now in WoW and Diablo 3 etc. I can't see them going FPS.

For me if they make an updated MMO with very nice graphics and all the things they've learnt from WoW and put us into a new world/universe then that will be good enough for me.

They have never once said that. Stop spreading that rumor that is complete speculation. You have nothing from
blizzard indicating that at all.

easy there fella, i said IF

I thought we had a Titan sticky here somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Anyway, Titan is indeed an intriguing project.

Firstly, because it follows in the footsteps on the most successful video game ever.

Secondly because the industry has progressed a lot since WoW and it'll be interesting to see how Blizzard, an otherwise somewhat conservative company, reacts to these changes.

Obviously there has been FPS games before Halo, but never has there been an FPS game with such an in-depth story and amazing sceneries and skyboxes.

Also redefining a WHOLE genre is a pretty big deal. Halo is the best all round FPS game ever in mine and many others opinions.

Plus I can't really find a developer that has contributed to the FPS genre in the last 10 years as much as Bungie has.

Bolded important part, but we have gone to far off topic so i will stop posting about halo in here anyways
