*edit* I guess not.

That's what happens when you wonder if they're still around instead of subscribing.

plz read, they're still around, but under the Games for Windows label. kthxbai.

While I posted that before seeing the news, the point remains, that you will tend to see things like that disappear if you don't pay for them. kthxbai yourself.

This story says Blizzard is planning a new MMO. That would be a pretty good fit for the teaser. Bear? Who knows.

It's not an original IP, but part of a series. Plz learn 2 read.

World of Warcraft 2. WoW has infinite bears. Presumably WoW2 would have them too.

It seems like a lot of successful MMOs have sequels, why not WoW? Blizzard stands to make a ton of money by releasing a new WoW (not just a graphical update, they could keep the same graphics and overhaul the engine as a brand new game, set it 10 years in the future or something, done)

Starcraft MMO would make sense too, but no bears in that game... Diablo MMO (ie Hellgate London but made by Blizzard and set in the past).

 

[TehMac]

Yeah, you're quite right, it could be that.

I'm surprised nobody has said anything about Half Life 2 Episode 3.

Btw, Games for Windows seems like it is covering the same game, whatever that game is, because here is what they say will be in next month's issue:

"We pull back the curtain to reveal the newest installment of one of PC gaming's biggest series."


So it seems both PC Gamer and Games for Windows are revealing the same new game, lol.

ROFL. You are silly. That game won't be announced for another 4 months, and then it won't be released for another 7 months after that.

We I hope it isn't HL2Ep3 anyway. I want it to be something cool.

It could be a Diablo MMO, they have SC2 waiting and WoW might start to decline if its just more of the same. I'd pay for Diablo 3, even if it's a mumopurgy.

you guys are forgetting, bears is capitalized. its probably some dumb sports game or April Fools joke or it is an actual game, but one that no one will want to play, so its sort of a true announcement and april fools joke in one.


as for the "series" clue, wtf? every game is a sequel or part 10 of a game these days.

Whoops, sorry, bears is supposed to lower-case. Soz Pontifex.

When I saw "Bears" was capitalized, the first thing I thought was football, obviously.

Meh.

Bears was meant to be lower case. Sorry


I asked a question regarding the announcement, and asked what nature concerned it. Dan Stapleton replied with this:

Mac - nope, you won?t see this one coming. As for the FC2 thing, Ubisoft TOLD us it was going to be exclusive, then, after we?d printed that teaser, they announced it ahead of our issue anyway due to a lack of coordination on their part. We?re not trying to scam you, I promise.

Is it just me, or did everyone miss the from Ubisoft?

What do you mean?


The Ubisoft thing is PC Gamer saying they're going to announce an uber game, meanwhile, Far Cry 2 gets announced, people rule out Far Cry 2 as PC Gamer's really omg cool announcement, and PC Gamer announces Far Cry 2.

That's what that was.

GFW big surprise was, the next battlefield, called Battlefield Heroes. It will be free, designed by the players, and require very modest system specs to run well, Looks as though they will be going for TF2 style graphics this time.

No, that wasn't their big surprise. Their big surprise comes in the April Issue as well. :roll:

We're going to get a lot of coverage on the same game, probably. :laugh:

Blizzard's next MMORPG is most likely in the Starcraft franchise. They didn't add all that lore and information in SC2 for no reason. It's in there so they can set up a Starcraft universe.

 

[TehMac]

Ok, I bet you a million freekin dollars it isn't that


(which means it probably is)

 

[VeZ]

Ah I doubt its an SC mmo..WoW is still so freakin strong and plus they are already workin on SC 2

 

[TehMac]

Many think it is Diablo 3, especially on Gamespot...the whole druid transforming into bears...so that'd mean Blizzard is working on 3 different games at once.

I read somewhere that when they moved Blizzard north into the main Blizzard, there was two teams one working on an original game and one working on a blizzard north style game. One of them was scrapped. So it makes sense that a Diablo game is in the works. Keep in mind I can't even remember where I read it so it's highly suspect. I kind of doubt Blizzard would reveal it through a magazine like that though.

Blizzard main always had two teams working on different projects pretty much, and they incorperated north into the main offices so 3 games makes sense.

 

[invidia]

It is NOT another WoW expansion (Lich King expo has been already announced and not even in beta yet or anywhere near beta). It is NOT a WoW 2.


If it IS going to be a Blizzard game, it would probably be in the Diablo franchise. And Blizzard has the tendency to announce games at conventions, not through magazine articles.

 

[TehMac]

Yeah, very true that very true.
