A few years from now, the director of Titan will state that despite years of development, the game just didnt feel right, and that they are scrapping it. :)

Flame on!

If you used google you would already know its a sci-fi mmo that has nothing in common with their existing ip's.

So all the wow 2.0 / starcraft mmo stuff can be deleted.

It will be a brand new IP in a sci-fi setting.

There is skimming Google, and really delving into Google - it may have been confirmed as a new IP, but there are major caveats to that -the screenies of sci-fi stuff are entirely unsubstantiated. There are credible(ish) rumours it is a spin off of a current Blizz IP as well. There is a statement is is both, near future, historical, and sci-fi/fantasy - all in the same sentence.

The bottom line is - it's all misleading, it's all up in the air and nobody 'knows' for sure except the Blizzard employees wrapped up in iron-clad NDAs.

So no - I don't 'know' anything, and neither, in truth, do you.

He read it on the internet so it must be true. They can't put anything on the internet that's not true....

The information that people have been able to get so far indicates Titan is going to be a social/casual MMO, possibly browser based. Supposedly people have seen some art assets which includes present day stuff as well as some futuristic looking things. Titan will more than likely have product placement in it, just like movies do these days. Blizzard was at one point hiring for a position to act as a liaison between the game devs and companies looking to market stuff in their next gen MMO. 

Social/Casual/Mobile games have the biggest player base, with hundreds of millions of people playing them. MMO players are easy to monetize, and spend more money on gaming than any other gaming demographic. The holy grail for gaming coprporations is to have a casual/social/mobile MMO that potentially appeals to tens of millions of players, with all sorts of monetization schemes plus ad revenue in place to reap as much profit as possible. Whether this will work for Blizzard or not remains to be seen.

I got a feeling it will be wow, except with a starcraft graphics.

 I'm hoping for this to be honest.

And hopefully this and more actiony combat, like those in a third person action/shooting game.

New / biggest rumor now (just yesterday I think) is that Titan actually IS a familiar IP.

Which means they probably changed it to Starcraft MMO in the past year or two.

Cross platform too - makes sense to me.

In before-

"That means it will be even more dumbed down for consoles."

I always LOL at those statements, so please - continue!

Probably something just as unoriginal as WoW.

Blizzard is not capable of making interesting innovative games. In all the years of WoW's development its never done anything new.

Just like WoW was when it came out.

This is only my opinion, and I don't really have a lot to back it up, but here's how I think Titan is going to happen.

It seems to me that Activision-Blizzard have been in "I WANTZ UR MUNY" overdrive for some time now, and I'm betting they are attempting to create something that has more mass appeal than anything else that has ever been created... and I think it will collapse on itself. That's just me, though. Who knows, it could be something totally original and epic, but I doubt it. /shrugs

Hopefully it will be something that the constant haters won't like. I don't think I could live another day without reading how Blizzard is catering to the kiddies and is ruining the genre...

Personally, I think it will be a huge hit, just like every game they release. (Including D3!!)

Diablo 3 may have had a lot of sales, but it wasn't on its own merit. People bought it because they loved the first two games (or maybe just the second one). If you recall, it hasn't had the best reception.

Frankly, Blizzard would be smart to use an existing IP for Titan (statistically, familiar IPs make a lot more money). They clearly want Titan to be the biggest thing ever, and it might be. But I have the feeling that they are trying too hard, kind of like they did with Daiblo 3; and if they put monetization ahead of the gameplay, then it might be the beginning of the end for Blzzard.

Actually the rumur is that it is a new IP, but a spinoff of an IP already made. Might not even have to be an IP owned by blizzard. 

My guess it's going to be like Warhammer 40k and Warhammer fantasy IP's. Both are Warhammer IPs, but both areunique IPs as well and have nothing to do with each other.
