It looks like it will be some sort of MMO because they are hiring a lead engine programmer to " lead an engine-programming team focused on next-generation massively multiplayer online games" and they're hiring a lead tools programmer (MMO) and lead artist (MMO).

Yeah I noticed it too, I came to the conclusion that it was going to be Diablo 3 too.

I am really hoping it's Starcraft 2 RTS game. The end of Brood War left many unanswered questions in the storyline, so there is a lot to build on. Do it WC3 style and they'd have a big seller on their hands I'm sure. Course if they did that World of Starcraft would probably be coming 2008. |

Originally posted by nothing2geinMy guess is that they are going to be making a DX10 engine for WoW that will come with the next expansion. I doubt they are going to make another MMO when WoW is still in its prime, especially another fantasy. If it is an MMO it would most likely be a sci-fi MMO. As for a SC MMO, I doubt we will ever see that. The sizing of the units would be a huge hurtle. Humans in that game were tiny compaired to the other races. A Zealot was like twice as tall as a human and a hydralisk was taller yet. For them to come up with some type of story that humans have grown several feet taller or the other races have shrunk wouldn't please the fans at all. SC:Ghost was canned white a while ago and I'm sorry, but I hated the D2 Online community. I'd much rather SC2. I loved SC and BroodWar and I've been waiting so long for a SC 2. - - "What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?" - - |

Ok Starcraft lore as I can remember ... it's been a while for me too. lol At the end Kerrigan, the former ghost that was "infected" by the zerg, tricked the other 2 factions into getting the Overmind killed. In doing so both the Terran and Protoss forces suffered heavy losses. Thus, she was now not only 100% free-willed, but in control of the Zerg, who were now the potentially most powerful force in the Universe. She was portrayed as similar to Illidan or Arthas, vastly powerful and although not really evil, she did things according to her own agenda. The Overmind Zerg wanted to infect the entire universe, Kerrigan didn't want that but she didn't want to give up her power either. Yes I'm sure blizzard took this storyline and "tweaked" it for WC3 as the Scourge and Arthas are very similar to the Zerg and Kerrigan. So she opposed the Overmind, but was it out of goodness of her former humanity or more of The Enemy of My Enemy.... Best I can remember, hope I'm not off by too much. |

I don't know. That teaser thing the OP said is interesting. It highlights Diablo And the question mark but nothing else. Gigantic Hint maybe?

None in these forums seems to remember, but some years ago Blizzard was hiring for RTS map designers. They couldn't have needed them for WoW, nor for Starcraft: Ghost. So my quess is, that whatever Blizzard is announcing is that unkown RTS title. And it's probably already very far in developement.
There was the Korean news article telling very accurate details about new Stacraft RTS, and there are also rumours around about MMO RTS. I'd personally bet that it's Starcraft because it's announced in Korea, but that it's quite traditional RTS because Blizzard really isn't known for being most innovative gaming company (no offence to Blizzard, they make really good games). And the nex-gen MMO they are hiring for now is some project wich they won't announce yet, as it's still in so early stanges of developement that people wouldn't have patience to wait for it if it was announced now. |

An interesting thought...what if they make a Diablo RTS and/or a Starcraft RPG? You know you'd still play it!
Just kidding, Blizzard is going to make a Starcraft game at some point in time...now or later. It's like having a gold mine right next to your Town Center and never sending any Peasants (or Peons) to mine it! ..................................... ...but time flows like a river... ...and history repeats... -Leader of "The Fighting Irish" in DAoC on Hib/Kay- |

Pff the wise move would be SC2 no matter what. Wtf would they make another MMO for anyway? They already have WoW! They've claimed their next title won't have anything to do with WoW. I take that as NEITHER MMORPG noir WarCraft universe.
If they don't make SC2 I'm gonna be pissed and question how they work nowadays. SC is the only title who hasen't had a sequal. Diablo has a sequal and an expansion. Warcraft has, well let's just say 2 sequals AND a mmorpg with an expansion! Lost Wikings... don't mention it... just dont. So anyway, SC is so old and it definitly needs improovements. Korea still praise it as their best game ever (which I think it is) but seriously it if wasen't for them it would be pretty dusty! It just simply needs to be updated! So Blizzard! Give us a SC sequal! RTS style and show you still got the flare that can make entire worlds troll bound!

I dont put any stock on the picture of Diablo on the teaser page. Simply because in the timeline SC, D2, WC3, and WoW are still greyed out. I think that as time gets closer to the announcement the timeline will move along. So basically SC is next in the timeline so I think that soon a SC picture will pop up with the SC name being highlighted. Just look previously in the timeline WC and WC2 are colored and not greyed out.
I think that the next game is going to be SC related, there are a couple reasons for this. The one big one is they are choosing to release the news in South Korea, and SC is pretty much a national pastime of South Korea. I actually think SC is the nations largest religion :P Also it goes away from fantasy and goes toward sci fi, since it seems people are tiring of fantasy. Kind of funny since fantasy is still a bigger money maker than sci fi. Also Blizzard doesnt need to make a new IP, why roll the dice with a new IP when you have a couple of guaranteed money making IPs still on the bench? Blizzard does make good games, but more importantly they are making money, lots of it, and they want to continue to be extremely profitable. It was not a big jump for Blizzard to turn the Warcraft world into an MMO, they saw a new market they had yet to tap into, and they saw it as just an extension of their bnet. So while they are the big dog and have the worlds attention, especially the mainstream people who have nothing to do with games, they are going to go with what works and what is safe. A SC MMO could easily pick up a lot of sci fi fans who never played WoW due to the fact its a fantasy based game, and all the SC fanatics who never played WC because they didnt like WC world. Either way though Diablo or SC, Blizzard has a guaranteed money maker, they could take a pile of crap and put it in a box and it would sell millions on release day, with the Diablo or SC name stamped on it. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. |
