There are TONS of games out there that try to emulate Blizzard's art style. A giant money house with proven success would not fret over other studios trying to make Blizzard-like games. A "blizzard idea for a game" is also a very curious thought. What defines a Blizzard game? Blizzard is not a genre, but a dev studio.…
http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/28/blizzard-delays-unannounced-mmo-until-2016-resets-whole-project-exclusive/#LkSFcisD6IACzgAf.01 Project reset, so when the hell are we going to see something??
anyone else think it might have something to do with Red5 studios latest game Firefall ? Firefall main art direction and concept guys are former Blizzard guys and well you can speculate the rest...
It can't be a complete project reset. Three years for a MMO? Let alone a Blizzard MMO? No way. At least they didn't do a massive layoff. Hope the dudes there are still having fun on the projects they were moved to in the meantime.
true, but what if the over all look and feel of Firefall was too close to what Titan would have been ? from my experience working on Firefall i felt it could have been a blizzard idea for a game.
Sorry. Misquoted that one. The point is there. I think the game whatever it is would have been huge. But Blizzard has high internal expectations. I'd just like to see some art. They've assembled an amazing art team there.
While it's sad to see effort potentially go to waste (it's still all speculation on our part), Blizzard is known for doing reboots if the project isn't heading in the right direction. I dont think we as gamer and fans have much to worry about.
Oh come on :( I was so looking forward to hearing anything about this at this years Blizzcon. Then again... Star Craft Ghost and the Original Diablo 3 is proof that blizzard will make a game all the way to near completion and go "Eeeeh, it's not that good, BALEETED" Crazy, worth it in the end but crazy I guess. Oh well,…
Yeah kind of sucks but Blizzard probably throws away lots of art, if you think about all the iterations of the Diablo 3 art direction I'm betting loads of work never saw the light of day. Also could be that they'll end up keeping most of the art assets for Titan and they're just shifting everyone away while they rework the…
Is everything the artists have made completely wasted though? I mean there are still great designs and ideas to take from it and I'm sure some form of kit-bashing is possible. It really does suck though, but as was said by a upper WoW community dude, it'd be weird for Blizzard to release a "competing" mmo for WoW when WoW…
