MMORPG Debate
Quote fromWhich is good news for those of us who think that [I]Starcraft[/I] should stay an RTS and [I]Diablo 3[/I'] couldn't make the MMOG jump without a serious degradation of the simple frenetic clicky-click mayhem that makes it such a delight.
WoW is a pefect example. They postponed initial release from 2002 to 2004.
want 1 cancelled Blizzard game?
Warcraft Adventure (cancelled cause they thought its quality wasnt good enough for a blizzard game).
Its story was put on an official book and led to the Warcraft 3 plot.
2007 pops up alot, but all of them are still rumors.
The longer it takes, the more goes in.
Having too many MMOs active at the same time would be profoundly stupid.
One great MMO (World of Warcraft)
A couple great RTS's (StarCraft 2, Warcraft 4)
A couple great RPG's (Diablo III, ???????)
A couple great FPS's (StarCraft: Ghost, ???????)
I think Blizzard has enough talent and creativity to create a few new games, and I think they have potential to be very effective in producing a good FPS. They have good dedication to their games now, and they could probably hire a dedicated team to form new games with that pocket change they are making from WoW.
