Pics or its fake.


A quick google search provides this:
Blizzard's "secret project" is confirmed to be a new MMO with a brand new universe, but we won't hear anything about it before a while.

It was going to be the best game ever made. Even better than the game that it took the story from.

Never has such a heinous crime been committed as the one that Blizzard made when they announced they had canceled that game.


No it wasnt going to be that great. There is no way it would have been better than the games in genre that are pretty good. UT1-3, CS, Q3, Halo. etc If it was better than any of those games in any regard than i would be just tottaly shocked.

And blizz realized this and scrapped it.

wait what you guys were actually excited about sc:ghost?

my thoughts were blizzard tried to get into consoles three times and failed each time so... but I have faith in Rob Pardo, he is pretty bright.

Warcraft 3 -> World of Warcraft

That being said a diablo mmo would be pretty dumb imo. I would rather see diablo 3 with large monthly or bimonthly updates for a small price.

Fucking Shit! Do you guys watch the Championship Gaming League? (I mean sorry I think I don't like it that much since watching CS in Third Person Mode sucks.) But think about the possibility of Starcraft 2 or Starcraft:BW would be awesome! (well, just remove the SC:BW since it's Korean EZ win there)

Edit: Forgot to mention if that rumor is really true or not
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I honestly doubt anything will come out of this. For one thing, Blizzard is not the only developer in talks with Microsoft regarding the new console.

And for another, Blizzard has attempted a "return" to consoles several times, first by porting some of their PC titles onto consoles (Diablo, StarCraft and WarCraft II were all ported) and then by trying to make a console game from the ground up (StarCraft:Ghost). All of them preety much failed and after the Ghost debacle, Blizzard simply gave up as illustrated in this interview:

+ Show Spoiler +
GS: Is cracking back into the console market still on the company's list of objectives?

MM: It is not.

GS: Why was the console market worth getting into in the last generation, but now you're backing away from it?

MM: We thought we would be able to do it without impacting our PC teams. We just had to make a priority call when it became clear that we were getting late to the market with these things, and we were not creating something that would live up to the Blizzard quality I've been talking about without additional resources. Now it's pretty clear that we really could use those resources helping us out on World of Warcraft and other things. Ideally, you try to do everything, but one of my points this morning was about not trying to do everything at the same time and focusing on what's important. And that's what we did.

Combined with the potential of OnLive, I just do not see why Blizzard would be interested anymore.

hmm a while back, blizzard sent out a newsletter asking fans if they would be interested with a starcraft on ds and diablo 2 on psp. hardware wise it's feasible, though the lack of hotkeys would make it pretty casual. but still, can u imagine, sc 4v4 anywhere? O.O
though diablo 3 seems like it could come out on 360 or the next gen console.
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.
