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!
NO!!! NO Elves! No Dwarves! No Trolls! No Fairys!
Just Humans, Angels, and Demons.
Lets take a look at all the possibilities for this blizzcon announcement:
Diablo 3(sequel or mmo)
World of Warcraft: (new expansion most likely called northrend)
Brand new franchise(highly unlikely)
Also ill be adding a fourth due to my own imagination:
World of Starcraft(kinda makes sense because WoW came out a short while after WC3 and blizz has their heads up MMO ass right now and with the hype from SC2 it would definantly benefit them but they would lose several diablo enthusiasts)
In my oppinion the percentage chance for these 4 are as follows
D3-50%
WoWExp - 25%
New - 5%
WoS - 20%
(feel free to correct me if you think im off.. i tried to give each a fair game but factor in how much more likely D3 is)
There is supposedly going to be 2 games announced at Blizzcon. WoW expansion for sure. Here are my percentages.
Game #1
WoW Expansion = 99.9%
Game #2 (assuming there is a second game announcement)
D3 = 95% (Its Diablo's 10 year anniversary for F*ck's sake + alot of evidence)
New franchise = 5% (You never Know)
[Edit] Starcraft: Ghost removed from the toss-up (Scrapped)
[Edit] World of Starcraft removed from the toss-up -- Blizzard wouldn't announce SC2 and WoS so close together.
Didn't that franchise just get a new game
Diablo 3 is Coming. or is it "World of Sanctuary" ???
Ya... they wanted everyone in the same building so they could keep a better eye on what Blizzard North was making because Blizz North was far along in D3 developement and it didn't meet Blizzard's expectations.
.....
..........
..............
... What ever... its not even worth arguing about. Blizzard North was shut down and thats all that really matters (or does it?)
Just because Blizzard North made D1 and D2 doesn't mean that Blizzard Ent. can't make a D3 that is even better.
I'm so excited.. I've been waiting for 4 years now...
I'm gonna Sh*t myself when it is announced...
Or have my heart broken if its not.
BUT IT WILL BE!
