They might sell a hero pack if people really want in early, but that is about it. to get into the public Beta will cost $40+. with it you'll get some heroes. you won't be able to enter hte public beta for $0. that is how i see Blizzard justifying to investors the giant team working on the game. we'll know soon enough... as stated earlier ... we're on the final character wipe now. | ||

They've made tremendous improvements to D3 (they only had 1 direction to go) but they still have a LONGGGGGGGGGGG way to go. | ||

I would still love to see Ghost become a thing, but if Blizzard is really interested in creating something new, then they should create something NEW. I'd like to see some sort of turn based 4X type of game out of Blizzard. Dem Civilization games sell like hotcakes. Plus there's a ton of unexplored design space there. Maybe we would get something distinctive. Hearthstone was disapointing because it was sooo similar in feel to Magic (but worse, cheaper and with matchmaking) A new IP RTS would be great too, although it seems unlikely. How about a high concept adventure/puzzle game. Sure, a big budget adventure game seems like throwing money away, but damn it, the Portal games (my favorite single player gaming experiences of the last decade) made it work and I want more. | ||

Very few rock bands and game studios have that autonomy and well....Blizzard has earned it. Have to disagree, doesn't really fit at all. Maybe more like Boston, or even more accurately, Miley Cyrus etc. That raw, pure, unadulterated sound of Zeppelin is more like the creativity and innovation of small indie studios, where Blizzard was always finely autotuned and refined for mass consumption. :D | ||

Something using Kerbal Space program physics + 4x4x4 type base-building inspired by Minecraft + A semi-open world like the GTA-series + semi-turnbased gameplay missions like the classic X-com: Enemy Unknown. Add classic Blizzard over the top graphics and you can get something quite unique. | ||

Arcen on the other hand now... (can't wait to see their 4X game planned for 4/15). | ||

That said, as some have pointed out Titan sounded (if executed well) like it would be very immersive and all, but would it have been sufficiently fun? | ||

It sounds like WoW with the professions as the main play and pvp or pve as side-quests. That sounds incredibly difficult to make deep and replayable. Besides I don't think adrenaline-rushed FPS and casual simulation, is appealing to the same people at the same time. You are gonna bore some people in half of the game. | ||

Oh I meant the game they have in prototype phase currently- "Spectral Empire". Supposed to be closer to a more "traditional" 4X, but knowing Arcen, that doesn't mean much lol. | ||
