I'm not a really a fan of Blizzard games, I liked Diablo 2 back in the day, played a bit of WoW, as much as I could stand. Any idea what the title will be? World of Starcarft?

Exciting news!  I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be the next big thing.

Kind of like how they where going to announce a new game last year in may?

http://news.filefront.com/blizzard-rumor-new-title-announcement-coming-at-1-am-tomorrow/

While I would hope for a Starcraft mmo, I doubt it. And while whatever it is will undoubtedly be on par with WoW, that's why I can't get excited about it. WoW's been done, and unless they plan to go a whole different route, a new one will just be WoW reskinned, and I really have no interest in that.

 They will announce it at the World Wide Invitational, but that could still be years away. I expect a new new SF IP, something like StarTrek, but with Blizzard touch, better storytelling, better PVP, better crafting and more social options than WoW.

For next WWI, I think we will finally hear something substancial about the Warcraft movie.

Yeah i also think they will show something like the first WoW movie trailer. I mean they are producing it like 3 years now.

Wired's chat with Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime has him state, "I can answer that. It's not going to be a World of Warcraft sequel." When pressed he said, "So let's just say it's going to be different and it's not going to be a sequel to World of Warcraft. It will be different. We're not trying to replace World of Warcraft with this new MMO. We're trying to create a different massively multiplayer experience, and hopefully World of Warcraft will still be going strong when that one is released." http://news.bigdownload.com/2008/10/16/blizzards-next-mmo-wont-be-a-world-of-warcraft-sequel/

So it won't be WoW. That doesn't mean it won't be WoW-like. That's the problem.

Exactly.  WoW in space will still be WoW, just, like, in space.

Um, "a different massively multiplayer experience" seems to indicate that it'll be something not like WoW to me.  Why would they want to compete with themselves?  It'd make much more sense to tap into the part of the market they don't already dominate.

No wai?!

Anyway, until someone can provide a reliable source for this "news" I'm calling BS on it. ;-)

Blizzard does the "developer double-talk" just like every other. So when they say it'll be a different experience, it can mean "It's different! WoW doesn't have Pokemon and puppies!!"
 

Not saying anything with certainty here. i'm just saying the term "different" can mean alot of things, including "just the same as, but", when a dev or marketer says it.

"We're trying to create a different massively multiplayer experience"

That's the line that caught my eyes.
He didn't say that they are trying to create a different kind of MMO, but a different massively multiplayer experince.
Translated it means a different  MMO genre, maybe a FPS MMO or ..............a sandbox?

Sadly, given the additions to WoW, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

By the way, to the OP why don't you link your sources when you make such bold statements?

BTW, the last time we heard this talk it was that Starcraft would just be "Orcs in Space."

So how the hell did that work out for those crystal-ball readers who thought Blizzard would just copy a game?  

I think we're going to hear the "Orcs in space" line a lot, from people ignorant of the history of the most consistently successful gaming company ever.

This is the internet, a lot of what  you read is biased and unchecked.

Source? WTH are you talking about? This guy is god. That's the only source you need. For real though, word around the campfire has been Blizzard (Activision) would announce their project sometime this month to try and "Top That" on the BioWare Lucas Arts announcement. Theirs is another MMO pretty far in development. 2 companies to rule them all and steamroll the fail.

Well, we know that they'd have to be total idiots to try and roll out a WoW 2.0 in a new skin.  So, they'll do some thing different.  Who knows exactly what that will mean though.

I do know one thing though, a lot of people have argued that the WoW style of MMO is the only viable style.  Will be really interesting to hear the comments if Blizzard takes on one of the other designs out there...

Due to complaints by employers about employees calling out "sick" to play a game and an overall interest in solving the job-cut crisis, Blizzard will be introducing:

World of WorkCraft

Employees will think it's just a game...
