Blizzard confirmed that they are working on a new RTS last Blizzcon.
Is it Warcraft 4? Will they announce something this year?
What do you think?
Wouldn't be surprised if it was another new IP. The story of WC is now rooted in WoW and Starcraft's story is over.
Also I assume they will make it casual friendly because of how SC2 got rejected by the masses for being too hard.

As long as its not as shit amd dumbed down as war3.

No they didn't

top kek mate. Its a fucking boring ass strategy game thats been done countless times with the same fucking theme behind it . Thats why it got rejected
>>340849194
Blizzard already destroyed their lore and every good aspect of WoW. Warcraft 4 will have the hype behind it because of its name but it will be a pile of shit that will let fans down
>>340849194
>>340849556
The problem I see with releasing WCIV is that WoW is still ongoing.
How do you separate the two when WoW spawned from WCIII? How do you write the story for IV without making it similar to storyline of WoW? Will they come out and admit that WoW is a separate entity from Warcraft?
>>340849767
>>340849556
wow is sinking way too hard now, the people left probably won't care if it becomes some sort of alternate universe shit.
They already set that kind of stuff up with warlords of draenor.

>>340849681
Not OP, but during the SC2 panel they said this:
"I can tell you that, today, our focus is 100% on this content that we've announced here at the show. What the future holds really depends so much on what we hear back from players. We love RTS, we love this genre."
They didn't confirm anything, but basically said there will be more RTS.
>>340849767
You do a remake/prequel for orcs and humans and war2 with bigger narrative for all the retcons theyve done to the lore.
>>340849194
No they are going to scrap the Assists and make a minecraft clone

i hope you mean the multiplayer. fuck facing against 1000apm koreans
>>340850330
>muh koreans
Koreans are just as shit as the rest of the world, except for the top-tier players.
t. Starcraftfag who's in the Master League on the Korean server.

>wanting Warcraft 4 from neo-Blizzard
no thanks.
>>340850539
Just needs to be warcraft 3 with modern graphics and new units to satisfy me.
>>340850723
Thats pretty unlikely. Neo-Blizzard hates their old stuff it's probably 1 solo campaign with broken multiplayer.
Whatever it is, it will possibly be the most casualized sequel ever.
>>340849767
You fucking retcon everything from wow after wotlk to non-existinf cos its utter fucking shit
>>340850539
All they have to do is to make the editor as goddamn simple as in WC3 and not fuck up the game hosting. Latter basically means forget about how game hosting works in SC2 and just redo it WC3 with some filtering options.
>>340849767
They'll probably have Warcraft 4 take place in the distant future of Azeroth, and WoW will end right before Warcraft 4 begins
>>340854406
But how will the monetize people's maps, mods and make E-sports?
How can they avoid another humiliating incident like Dota where they had likely the world's most popular multiplayer game (bar Counterstrike)... Under their very nose.. for 5 years or so...
And then have Gaben steal it and make millions with it.
While they can't even sue.
>>340849194
Build order kill Sc2. They need to find a way to fix that or it deader than dead.
>>340849194
Still actively playing Wc3 multiplayer (not Dota). I'd buy it if it follows that style of gameplay.
>inb4 BUT THEYLL RUIN IT JUST LIKE THEY DID SC2 ;;;___;;;; WE WANT LAN, OR I GO BACK TO LOL
>>340849556
>SC2 got rejected by the masses for being too hard
You mean their playerbase, who was used to BW, a "hardest" game?
>>340854834
>Gaben steal it
They literally told Icefrog to make a SC2 custom map for FREE.
SC2 without the cheese and fog of war.
>>340849194
Remake WC1 and WC2 to fit the retcon of the movie and WoW.

Give up
Even though I would love it more than anything, I doubt they wouldn't outright say it if that were the case.
>>340849556
no, sc2 got rejected because it's too easy. Micro/macro was a joke and the only way to stand out at top levels was playing hide and seek, hoping an opponent didn't see a surprise tech building somewhere on the map.
>>340854850
lol.

is that why they all recently got updated?

I can't wait to witness them raping one more franchise.
Surely they can't get away with it again right?
>inb4 Overwatch origin event RTS
>>340849194
it will get crapped.
warcraft movie bombed and that was their ad budget for the game
if blizzards ad scheme doesn't work there's no money to be made with the product and they either have to make those assets into something else or abandon the project altogether

>>340849194
I've been saying this over and over for years, blizzard have one RTS team, blizzard team 1 that have all been working on RTS's for 20 years, the reason why WC4 never happened is because they were working on SC2.
Now that SC2 is out of the way expect WC4 in about 4-5 years.

>>340856795
The Warcraft name would sell the game in the west. Stop being a naive dumbfuck
>>340854834
Well the problem with this is that everything you now produce with SC2 tools belongs to .... Blizzard. Quite cruel. With Warcraft 3 all the custom content belonged to the creators.
All these money making schemes out of mods/maps just end up screwing the game.
>>340856878
Warcraft means nothing here
WORLD OF WARCRAFT does
it's ain't the early 2000's any more kidd
>>340856795
Blizzard has released altered versions for their games for China for quite a while now.
>>340854612
>Warcraft 40K
I would be more than okay with that.
>>340849767
They fucked up their opportunity, during Warlords of Draenor the Iron Horde should have made it through the portal and led into Warcraft 4, with WoW continuing still in it's own universe.
>>340856778
>>the population of Stratholme is 100% white males
But that would make arthas a good guy.
They have to show his descent to evil, so it will be 100% black women who are demisexual otherkin.
>>340856778

>>340857207
>Warcraft 40K
Considering just how much they gained from Warhammer affiliation in the past, moving on to 40k would be quite funny in retrospect.
>>340856778
That's nothing but shitty shit-shat shitposting.But then why does that make me feel so anxious anyway?
>>340850723
They couldn't even manage that with StarCraft II.
>>340849194
Because they haven't fucked up the lore at all with WoW and Starcraft 2 went well.
Releasing a Warcraft 4 would be a mistake.
