no one cares about any of these games. just give me warcraft 4, starcraft 3, or a new RTS IP. remastered games are fanservice. singleplayers are flashes in the pan.

I'm not upset that they're exploring other types of games, but oof, this sounded like it would have been a mess...

Id actually love to see an FPS set in the SC universe , hopefully we might in the future. But for now I think its a good call , they need Diablo 4.

Why are they developing an Overwatch 2 when the first one is doing so well in its formative years?

I'm so sick of Blizzard. I really enjoy the StarCraft universe more than the others. This would have been a pleasant surprise and instead its just another disappointment in a long list from them.

They were probably having a hard time figuring how they could nickle and dime their potential player base without alienating them "too" hard. Or even though they said it was using the OW engine they probably were going to try to shove it on a phone behind pay to win walls.

Funny they are making an OW2 instead of just regularly releasing content for the first one. I just think- Fortnite is doing great for years and its the same map? Because they constantly add new seasons, new weapons, and change things on the map/have events. I don't even play or enjoy Fortnite but they have it figured out.

Blizzard is probably are having a hard time monetizing OW this late into its life and didn't build it modular enough to add some of the above. So instead of a FPS SC game: Welcome OW2 where you pay for the (same) game AND have payable seasons! And probably payable characters! Why not payable maps too!? Why isn't the amount of time you play charged too? Who knows what mess they'll make of D4.

Blizzard is a joke.

This thread would be a lot better if statements like ‘nobody wants x’ would be replaced with ‘I would prefer to see x.’

I’d absolutely prefer to see some new mainline RTS titles myself, but to make out there’s no demand for other IPs or new ones outside of that genre is preposterous

They could just make a zerg mission pack.....................

also that overwatch 2 stuff, my guess is it's gonna be a large overwatch expansion you have to buy or something not a standalone game.

Apparently a FPS in the SC universe is this idea that Blizzard likes for about 6 months, then they like something else better. What a weird turn of events.

Still, Blizzard is in something of a pretty serious mess right now, and it's probably not looking too good going forward.

Would have been very intrigued to see what came of this though. Reading articles and what not it states that Blizzard are pushing the Overwatch engine on all their new games and want to push old games onto it as well. Overwatch FPS game with StarCraft units sounds good to me. Would been like a HOTS meets Overwatch.

Instead we get Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2? Like what Overwatch has barely been out that long and the last 12 months has dive bombed but they have also made a whole massive financially draining franchise league of it...seems bit crazy to be like yeh lets make Overwatch 2?

That's not fair to DB. 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 disagree I played a lot of wol and I think the game today is allot better than back then. Just look at how bad some of the matchups were on the small low eco maps that blizzard started with. Remember steps of war where Terran could realistically push from their base to yours with bunkers turrets and tanks? Rember the 4 gate PvP meta? Remember 2 rax meta? Rember 5 rax reaper meta? Rember how underpowered Zerg was prior to queen buffs and bigger maps and how over powered they were after. Wol was fun but problem ridden the game is so much better today.

OW2...I thought the only reason it was still around as an esport was that Blizzard lost money investing in it. I guess I was very wrong about that.

Overwatch is pure crap. I get car sick even trying to play the game for one minute.
FPS is boring as hell.
Diablo is mildly entertaining but lacks substance.

The only Blizzard games I have ever liked is SC2 and WC2.
WC3 is one of the worst games in gaming history. It is not even a RTS but it pretends to be. It is a gloried action game more shallow then the Kardashians. It is also spawned the MOBA genre which is unforgivable.

Blizzard was a great company but those days are gone. I doubt we will ever get another SC2 from them.
