Blizzard: 2007 product announcement?

by CodeMonkey| Published: Friday, August 25 @ 12:36:23 EDT
Blizzard Chief Operating Officer, Paul Sams, talked in Leipzig's Game Conference about the future for Blizzard...

While everyone scrambled to hear about Burning Crusade, the next expansion to World of Warcraft many wonder "what else?"

Not everyone is an MMORPG fan and, believe it or not, Blizzard was known for other hit games in the past that didn't hold a "WarCraft" name. For instance, what of StarCraft? And does anyone remember StarCraft: Ghost?

Well, Sams told IGN that his favorite game of all time is StarCraft and that there was "no doubt" that Blizzard will carry on the StarCraft legacy along with the Diablo gaming franchise.

No doubt? But no confirmed information about a fabled StarCraft 2 either. Sams was nice enough to mention that Blizzard will be making a "major product announcement in 2007." Could that spell product release for Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2.

Sams also made it clear that he does not want to see Blizzard as a company that builds MMO's, but a company that builds great games. What of StarCraft: Ghost - indefinate hold.

Sams also mentioned that Microsoft has paid some visits to the Blizzard team to talk about the Xbox 360 and Vista. Not surprising there - Blizzard is interested in the tools that Microsoft provides such as DirectX 10 and such. However, Blizzard remainds adament that Battle.net is the service that ranks supreme... no Xbox Live for them?

Blizzard takes so long to make their games that any new title announced in 2007 might not hit the shelves until 2010!

Ok I am seeing a trend seems like all the PC game companies dont want to use xbox live, fine find a way to use their service on 360 aka Final Fantasy, just one thing voice chat is a must, I am not texting shit in game for any game not happening. And if I cant get a MMORPG on 360 at least hurry up and put out some decent single player RPG's I miss the simple dragon warrior days.


They didn't deny XBL, but they did say BATTLE.NET (Score: 1)

So, i'm not sure how to read that...you say your service is best of them all, but you talk with Microsoft about 360... you know there are going to be two sets of services at that front of that war: XBL vs. Battle.net.



My hope is that they realize battlnet isn't going to be the way to go on a console that has 100% games backed on XBL.
