I think mmofps are pretty much next-gen (Hard with the collisions detection and such). A mmofps would kinda fit for a MMO of starcraft. Think about, playing as a zergling, lmao.
D3 can't have an MMO come out unless they hire a whole new team, being that all three games have something being worked on besides WoW and that always has people working on it. Same goes for Sc2. Second i would much rather have a new MMO by Blizzard because they have produced three of the finest series of games ever made. WoW is like the number 1 MMO and SC continues to be peoples favorite RTS and Diablo has changed the way people make RPG's. So if Blizzard has a new bright idea let them make it cause they are sure to put out something similar to their other games where everyone will regard it highly and love the series forever.

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
Eh, what I said in the beginning is being repeated pretty often. Does anyone read the whole thread?
And a StarCraft MMO could have the potential to be a mix of EVE Online and WoW, but I dunno. I know it's an MMO, so it doesn't have to be a mmorpg, but kaplan said they have some big shoes to fill... either he means the blizzard standard in general, or WoW specifically.
But I just can't see a mmofps coming. Such a splitsecond-sensitive genre on some remote servers? it just seems impossible. and as already mentioned before, so many collision detections that would have to be calculated... I don't know what kind of super-servers they would need for that. it sure would end in a salty monthly fee
There are a lot of mmofps popping out and they pretty much all call themselves "next-gen".
I think with Blizzard you go big or go home.
I think it won't be Warcraft, Starcraft OR Diablo based. It will be ALL THREE at once.
"World of Blizzard" will be what its called.
Sorceresses fighting Orcs that throw Hydralisks.
You could even play as a scourge. You just wouldn't last... that long... before dying.... especially if you plan on attacking.
The way i see it they have a title for just about everyone so far.
Diablo 3
Starcraft 2
WoW
You might not like all of those but i guarantee that chances are you like one. So Blizzard basically has their basis covered by having something for everyone. Now what does Blizzard not have??? A simple FPS comes to mind but its unlikely they want to step into that territory and honestly i don't think they could succeed in that territory. Now here is an idea that i think is most likely. An MMORPG based on being a futuristic FPS. Something along the lines of Starwars/StarCraft but more Shooter based. If they can do it right and do it BIG an MMORPG were you need good FPS skill would be a huge thing for Blizzard. If they do this right i think they could get alot of NEW people to play their games and i think alot of people would be willing to pay for multiple of their games monthly aslong as they manage to do it right. With blizzard i have no doubt they would make the game fun.
why is everyone so convinced it's gonna be either a starcraft, diablo, or warcraft based game?
they've been doing those games for like, 20 years.
my guess is a new game based outside of those 3.
My thoughts exactly.
And you can count Diablo out of the mix because they aren't going to release a mature rated MMO. The backlash from Diablo fans would be immense if it wasn't filled with gore. If you don't believe me then just remember the shit they took for adding some color to the game. It isn't going to happen. Not now. Not ever.
I hope... I so fucking hope that it's something new. Gamers make me so so mad with their inability to accept a new game. They all want the 9th installment to this or that.
Whatever it is they're cooking up... it better be able to withstand the massive amount of Star Wars fans itching to play Bioware's MMO. They might have some serious competition when that comes out.
While I agree Blizzard doesn't take risks, they have shown that they do try out new ideas and often. There was an article awhile back outlining some of the canceled projects of Blizzards and there were a number of titles and artwork that didn't come close to their big 3 games. (Here it is!) My money is on something Brand new, it maybe that it never takes off the ground and gets canceled half way through. BUT I feel that if they moved one of their lead guys off of D3 to work on it that there may be more done than we know about.
I think Blizzard is going to start a totally new series. Warcraft has already got an MMO and Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 aren't even out yet so why make a new MMO for those two. If you ask me it's something new.
Too bad it's a MMO. They all fail.
I think they were saying way back it will be a new franchise. I'm not sure if I believe that. I dunno if Blizzard is capable of a new franchise.
And how do you imagine a StarCraft MMO, really?

There not all fail wow is actually a really good game.
But I believe you are correct in that they did say it was not gonna be a mmo based on one of there existing franchises.
I have not yet played a MMO that I could stand longer than 2 weeks. How is killing the same critters over and over again to get experience or skin them is not a fail? That's all I remember in that game, killing monsters, arguing with people in chat channels, and exploring (the worthwhile part).
WAR was probably the most edible MMO of them all. Mainly because of scenarios and the open PvP and the other junk they put in there.

I imagine a Starcraft mmo possibly somewhat like Stargate Worlds. But, you know, Starcrafty.
You're sort of avoiding the point. Making it StarCrafty is the hard part. Who are you going to play as? How? Etc. MCC sounded really interesting, but Blizzard would never take such a risk.
I would play as one of those Dark Templar guys and build up my Dark Templar skills. The best skill will be to transform into one of those massive guys.
Yeah I don't play StarCraft much. You can tell from my vague descriptions.

Im thinking the same thing...a sci fi mmo done right would be amazing...but DAMM I want it to be diablo mmo...
Diablo 3
Starcraft 2
WoW
