Update on the unannounced MMO!
Amd this is their source (lol): http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=BC8F0682596A98B2FE1E8A8EA381AC0D?topicId=3168513730&sid=1&pageNo=1
IT IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
Edit: Well... calling it Diablo 3 is speculation because of the focus on the term 'unannounced title.'
For conversation's sake, what is a "Title" anyway?
it better not be for a ps3 because i just got a 360. but i do agree it wont be for any consoles becasue battle.net wouldnt work on 360 or ps3.
Battle.net is for Warcraft 3, Starcraft and Diablo 2 I don't think they would have a mmo on there. Look at WoW they have they're own servers. It has no connection to Battle.net whatsoever.
further to this, ps3 could be interesting for blizzzard since it has the most advanced grafic chip, and most of the technical knowledge gained during the developement could be recicled in time future time when PC will be at its same level
And furthermore, if they wanted to recycle a game from console and put it on PC, I believe it would be most logical to go with the 360 because it (I think) is closer to the PC, so it would be easier to recycle.
Of course, I'm not sure about all of that, but it seems logical to me.
I believe Sony has said they aren't going to be creating another console, they still will create games though.
Microsoft is apparently already working on a new console.
Sony had said the PS3 will be good for 10 years, they say there is a enormous amount of power to squeeze out of the PS3 yet. I keep hearing that current PS3 games aren't the PS3's potential, I can't wait to see it's full potential.
There's this sportsbike game for PS2 that came out shortly after X360 did, you would positively think you're playing the sportsbike game on a x360 that's how fine tuned the graphics were for the PS2. Makes you wonder what really is possible with these machines, developers need to start putting a bit more effort forth.
likewise.... i'm getting a wii!! as soon as i can find a store that has them for sale >.<
And I can see your points with the rest of it.
Well now I feel like an ass, I searched high and low for what I said to prove it and there's nothing now.
Last year it was a big deal, a long time Sony analyst had said there will be no PS4, due to the fact that Sony has been moving towards software more and more every year and the insane costs of the PS3. It was said Sony will not recoup the cost of R&D from the PS3 for 5 years. A company at that much of a loss from their product will surely rethink ideas for the next generation of that product. If there were no PS4 it would make sense, I'd like to think it just depends on the PS3 future, it could still BOOM yet, recoup those costs faster and become a cash cow like the PS2.
On the flip side, there's a ton of unsubstantiated rumors on forums saying the PS4 will be released in 2010.
2010 seems just entirely too soon, outrageous rumor, the PS3 has been out a year and hasn't got on it's own two feet yet.
The PS2 still stacks up reasonably well against the new consoles, and the PS3 blows the other two away by a helluva lot in power. The Sony consoles have staying power, I'll give them that.
