Why are you trying? That guy is either trolling or don't have a clue what he is talking about.

It's the era of small teams again and with game like bastion, sometimes always monsters and hyper light drifter, the man is seeking to do new things and make smaller games. We should all be pumped for what he is going to do. I definitely some of the bigger devs like Activision and EA aren't as good as they should be. Some of the indie games you get from smaller game devs (I'm thinking of Transistor for example) seem to be way more polished than the big titles with lots of bugs in them. Some of the smaller devs are baring their teeth with some really well designed and well polished games. | ||

Valve gets him and he's partnered up with IceFrog? They pretty much have the competitive FPS and MOBA scenes covered already, if they can make a true successor to SC:BW... | ||

Games are getting easier and dumber which is why Dota 2 is such an amazing game; it's the same as Dota 1 which was made when games were still good. | ||

If valve were to ever make a full single/multi player RTS (with Rob) it would be more Warcraft than Starcraft. With all the experience they have with DOTA, building an RTS is practically the same thing. I mean, Valve already have things like hero's and an RTS engine. Just put in buildings that can make units and they are good to go, hell I would buy it even without a single player campaign. Practically the same game as dota, its free money Valve, hire Rob  | ||

Nah, the important part of any game is core gameplay. If the core game is well designed and is something people enjoy playing then changing some numbers is the easy part. Thats why people like Pardo are important, and hypothetically speaking if Valve were to make an RTS having people that know what makes a genre good (Icefrog for DOTA) is the absolute priority. And it doesn't even have to be Valve, any big company that looks at the market now and says 'well it looks like a good time for a warcraft RTS clone' would only have to come up to Rob and a few other former Blizzard employees and say 'look here is a pile of cash, make me a game that anyone who likes war3 will drool over'. I can guaranty you that anyone that has ever played war3 (many many millions) will hype the fucking shit out of its 'spiritual successor' | ||

Still... WC3 was pure genius. For that, he has my eternal respect. Also, yes, it would be kickass if he did make another RTS. We'll see what happens though. I would definitely love it if we could have a successor to WC3... | ||

making a AAA level game in 2014 is completely different from any form of game development that occurred in the 1990s at Blizzard. on the Activision side... what Bob Whitehead, Allan Miller and David Crane did to start Activision.... is in a completely different world than what is done now at Activision to make games. you can't really compare Pitfall to Skylanders... 2 different worlds. | ||
