It'll also contain information about Diablo3, WoW:Mists of Pandadudes and, most likely, Blizzard DotA. Iirc, Blizzard said they planned to push "two big name titles" this year, which could be any of the four. | ||

They dump so much time and money into their games, that 15 years later people still dedicate their lives to those games. I'm sorry but a 1 man programmer team with some imagination could make a good campaign that's polished in like 1 year when they have everything already done at their disposal such as the engine and most units. The only logical reason for an expansion taking this long to make is marketing because they want hype to build after a long time I suppose. I don't think that works well for expansions vs the original game but honestly there's just no other excuse for Blizzard. They probably had most of the story written for all 3 games when they made WoL. Unit ideas were probably on the board as well even if they came up with some new ones since then. Level design and voice acting is just not something that should take that long. Cinematics were probably in the works as soon as WoL released and while they take longer it's not a good excuse IMO. Testing is done as they go; it's not like they make all levels and then have them test it all at once so that's not a good reason either. Blizzard is either very inefficient or doing it on purpose. Sad either way for us. | ||

Still has news about HotS but it's not about it coming out but about it being pushed back. Please keep in mind, this is just a GUESS and explaining how something "about HotS" can actually be about another game instead. | ||

Iirc, Blizzard said they planned to push "two big name titles" this year, which could be any of the four. How can you even consider Blizzard's DotA to be a big title? It's a custom within a custom that's based off another custom within another game. You would be advertising "buy Starcraft II to play DotA", ... like seriously stupid. Diablo 3 and MoP will most likely be the two titles that are being pushed for 2012. Since we all know Diablo 3 is being released in Q2 and Cataclysm received its last major content patch not so long ago. | ||
