Blizzard Establishes "Team 3"
Gamasutra reports that Frank Pearce of Blizzard Entertainment has just confirmed that the company is working hard on another new title... and it's not World of Warcraft or Starcraft II. 40 people are working on Starcraft II and 40 people are working on this secret Team 3 project, so it's definitely another big one. According to Pearce, "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."
With Blizzcon '07 coming up this August 3-4, people have high hopes that this mystery game will be unveiled.
Hmmm, Team 3... Diablo 3... could it be? Join our discussion!
It was at a panel, not sure which one, but when they brought up Warcraft etc, the question was something about Warcraft staying an mmo or rts, they they said Warcraft 4 will be in the future or something lol - I would put the timeline -> Starcraft II -> Diablo III -> Next-Gen MMO (team is being made right now) -> Warcraft 4. Looks like a great future ahead for Blizzard! wo0t :cool:
well do we know for sure that blizzard is currently workingon a next-gen MMO? because as you can see in this thread there is some debate as to whether or not diablo 3 will be a MMO. so i was just wondering if you new anything further about that. and i also remember hearing something about how the warcraft series isnt over yet and that they'll most likly continue it, but thats probably not going to be for at least a few years. i wanna know what blizzard is working on right now
I'm one of those fans. Seriously, can you see the next Diablo game as a cheap unrewarding unsatisfying MMO light-show? Don't give me any crap about WoW being awsome. So it's got nice backgrounds and pics, big deal, it has zero content, which is what Diablo is all about. Even now, Diablo is revered and its loyalists still play it, because of its both inner and outer beauty, something I could never say about something like WoW.
MMO team, working on the 2nd WoW expansion, finished early to mid next year. After that they will either split, half with WoW and half with the next gen MMO
RTS team, SCII, frinished late 08 early 09, after that they will split, half to work on SCII expansion and half to start WC4
RPG team, um... Say around since 2001 when they finished working on Diablo II Lod???
so thats how its gonna go down huh?
I believe they said there was currently no Halo 4 in development, could you link me to a credible site with claims Halo is over and done? Halo 3 wasn't in development immediately after Halo 2 either, as well as these gaming companies not telling the truth.
I'm sorry but the Halo 3 ending was a terrible, terrible, terrible ending. A trilogy THAT good and that horrible of an ending, it didn't close much at all. If you're going to end a series, end it with a bang.
I have a feeling your "no more halo 4" attitude was from an interview with Marty O'Donnell which has been disproven. Christ from a business stand point ending Halo right now is rediculous, there's plenty of story elsewhere in this game to make a wonderful sequel or two.
I dont even play Halo by the way.....
pre-orders or not.... thats a lot of money
which reminds me, has anyone pre-ordered Hellgate: London? i just did today, that game looks pretty sick
really? thats a bummer, im really looking foward to it
?? Why? Hellgate: London the Video game will be pretty awesome.
The Beta/Alpha isnt desinged for the players to enjoy it. I don't expect anyone to understand it, I think it's too complex or something.
Oh well.
well i am looking foward to the game, i pre-ordered it and i'll be picking it up on the release day. i was just dissapointed to hear somebody say that it sucked. the thing with computer games is that its hard to test'em out before u buy them unless u know someone who has it, cause its not like u can go out and rent them. but this game definitly looks like its worth buying. not to mention alot of people who worked on diablo developed this game
well i think this game looks pretty good that doesnt mean its a substitute for Diablo 3, i wanna see Diablo 3 come out just as bad as anyone else. its just nice to have something new every now and then, especially since i really dont care for console games
ya know what im saying
Substitutes are all well and good, but while Blizzard owns Diablo I want blizzard to make it. If Lionhead owned Diablo I would want them to make it. I just want Diablo 3, if for no other reason than Diablo 4.
I realize I sound like a fanboy there, but I like games based on gameplay, not on graphics or a name on a box. And Diablo has yet to let me down.
