SC3 would be a pretty good move forward for the Starcraft franchise imo.. | ||

Especially if something is either divergent from current trends, or lacks an obvious way to monetise it post-sale, or worse, both. Blizzard aren’t exactly reticent in axing projects, but they do usually trot out the ‘it wasn’t up to brand quality’ line, it I suppose they have done that though with projects that were announced and even showcased like Ghost. | ||

The good news is that at least Diablo 4 should be on its way, OW2 can be good for OW but they should not depend on it too much. I think older fans want games for older franchises. Maybe remastering and reforging is just so that they can offer us something, while they make the new engine for future games, but then again why would they have been making FPS for SC. | ||

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. Of course I'm upset! How can anybody not be upset? A Starship Troopers kinda FPS? Count me in! OW2 will probably go along the lines of Destiny, Division and Anthem I guess. Some singleplayer to warm you up with the "endgame" beeing PvP heavy | ||

Heroes of the storm is a fun game, could definitely have been a blizzard brawler type of game. The *foundation* of SC2 is fantastic, but it was marred by forcing it in a direction it wasn't designed to go. The whole idea in WoL was small maps, low eco, high action, and it did that pretty well. That's just not what the community wnated. | ||

I hope it doesn't end up feeling like just a slightly large patch for OW1. My thoughts exactly. Unless they go for a complete overhaul, which is very risky considering the huge success Overwatch had. OW2 feels way too soon right now. OW1 might have its flaws, but the playerbase still is huge and will remain that way for at least 4 to 5 years. Given the fact that Blizzard always takes its time, an OW2 release for 2025 sounds kinda realistic. Maybe D4 will come around 2022/23. | ||
