As much of a fan of RTS I am, I love the idea of a Starcraft asymmetrical battlefield type of game. I hope they can explore that option once they ship D4/OW2. | ||

Which means that they havent been working on a new RTS game after Nova Covert Ops was finished. As much of a fan of RTS I am, I love the idea of a Starcraft asymmetrical battlefield type of game. I hope they can explore that option once they ship D4/OW2. half of them are running multiplayers the rest has been doing this project for 2 years i assume ? but sc2 multiplayers aint so hot lately and i think they only need 20 or 30 employees for balance team and the rest will move to another rts project | ||

Hmm I disagree Blizzard missed opportunities with overwatch like they did with starcraft 2, they hardly ever admit a mistake give a noncomital answer, remember the days when players asked blizzard to disclose mmr, and how long it for them to finally show it? | ||

Diablo 4? I'm craving more Diablo, badly. Overwatch 2? ... Why? I guess I'll just hope that whatever cool ideas the team had for Ares will go into OW2 or a new IP. Or, who knows, maybe more SC2, SC3, or War4. *I'm also... hesitant about War3: Reforged. I haven't gotten to check out anything new with it in a while, but I hope that it turns out awesome in general and sales-wise otherwise there probably won't be any good RTS news from Blizz in a long time. (Has there been anything new with that since the Culling of Stratholme demo? New model/texture/graphics or gameplay stuff?) | ||

Anyway, the good news is that we have Diablo 4 (not the mobile one) and Overwatch 2 at least. | ||

I don't understand Blizzard's vision for the future. Their 2 most succesful franchises are Warcraft and Starcraft. 2 RTS in different universe with incredibly complex gameplay and skill ceilings, 2 of the most successful esports title in history. Blizzard became the pc gaming juggernaut it is today based on those 2 franchises. Then WoW came along and redefined MMO's while providing what seems to be an inexhaustible amount of cash flow. Since Blizzard published Starcraft 2 in 2010, what games have they made that were a success for esport? Diablo 3 sold well but it's mostly a solo game with almost no competitive facet. Hearthstone was another success and still makes a lot of money for Blizzard, but I'm not one to consider a card game an esport. Heroes of the Storm was an esport failure and Blizzard lost a lot injecting cash in a still-born game that didn't bring anything new and exciting to the genre. Overwatch is a fun and casual fps with interesting new ideas, but as an esport it's a joke, stale and repetitive metagame, utterly boring to watch, I feel overwatch league is going to turn into another artificial life support from Blizzard, losing them more money, and the game will probably die as soon as they pull the plug. Diablo 4 will sell incredibly like the third one, but will they achieve any sizable player retention? Overwatch 2 barely 3 years after the first one sounds like a confession that they didn't achieve what they want with the first one. At this point I don't care if it's Starcraft 3, Warcraft 4 or a new lore, I just want Blizzard to not abandon the RTS genre completely. They're the last developers I trust to keep the flame alive. If they don't, I fear we're gonna be stuck with MOBA's and battle royale's for the foreseeable future. | ||

And it never ceases to amuse me that sites like Kotaku still use the pictures from WoL alpha that they got permission to use from Blizzard way back when. Aliens vs Predators was good !  (Espacially the second one when you start to play as facehugger)But from all of those discussion i'm wondering if i'm the only person that don't want multiplayer focused games. I would very much like a good title for Single player with a nice story etc... I mean... BioShock didn't need multiplayer... Right ? | ||
