When Blizzard appeared at the PS4 launch event to reveal Diablo III they also said it was the start of a “strategic partnership” between the two companies. Could this mean a potential Starcraft game coming to consoles? RTS fans have been asking for Starcraft to make it’s way over to consoles for years, and with titles such as XCOM showing strategy games can work on console, maybe the time is finally right.https://www.gamepointsnow.com/blog/could-these-remakes-be-heading-to-ps4-soon/
Blizzard Working On Unannounced ‘Epic’ Next-Gen Multiplayer Game – Job Listings Reveal First Details
The new game, which carries no official or codenamed title at the time of writing, is frequently described as “Blizzard’s next epic title” across the various job listings, and is asking for applicants with experience shipping AAA PC and/or console titles. It highlights a need for multi-player level designers, 3D character designs that will inhabit a “new and exciting world”, and also promises “badass implements of destruction”.
According to Blizzard, “We can’t tell you exactly what the game is yet, but trust us, it’s awesome.”
Blizzard currently has job listing open for the following positions related to the unannounced title:
Concept Artist
Lead Technical Artist
3D Character Artist
3D Weapons Artist
3D Character Animator
Environment Artist
Lead 3D Character Artist
Lead Producer
Level Designer
Senior Art Manager
We’ve combed through the listings, which can be found here, and collated these key details:
–The Level Designer should have “experience building compelling multi-player gameplay spaces”, according to the listing, and requires somebody who has built “the most fun and memorable levels on shipped AAA titles for at least 3 years” and has an “unending passion” for “competitive multi-player games”
-The Lead Character Artist listing is highlighted a priority position by Blizzard, and reveals that the unannounced title will feature “epic hero moments” and a “new and exciting world” filled with “legions of characters”. It also has another nod to this being a next-gen title, requiring somebody with an “exceptional understanding of next generation asset creation pipelines and tools”
-The new game will feature some bad ass weaponry too. The listing for a 3D Weapons Artist says applicants will be creating “amazing creations with even more phenomenal war gear”, and states artists will work with gameplay designers to ensure “your badass implements of destruction play as good as they look”. Experience with “mechanical or vehicle modelling” is also requested.
-If you were still in doubt that Blizzard are looking to put an action-packed game together, the listing for a Lead Technical Artist opens with this description:
As a player, there’s nothing like exploring a new world for the first time. That sense of awe and wonder can be found in literally anything; brilliant shafts of light pouring through darkened clouds – a forest of twisted and arthritic trees, seemingly frozen in mid-reach – the way the ground shifts under you as a behemoth alien creature lumbers past. Or how about the very-real adrenaline that courses through a combatant’s veins as they charge headlong into an enemy encampment, explosions peppering the landscape with dust and debris? There’s an endless amount of gaming moments like these, and none of them would be possible without having a rock-solid foundation upon which to build. And that’s where you come in.
As lead technical artist for Blizzard’s next epic title, you will be the one to build this foundation. You’ll be instrumental in developing the processes, tools, and pipeline from which innumerable epic adventures will spring forth.
I like the sound of explosions peppering the landscape with dust and debris!
-Development will be handled by a “small and nimble team” according to a description in the Lead Producer listing, which Blizzard says is thanks to Hearthstone reviving the company’s old development traditions.
-The new game will be 3D and is described as a major project for Blizzard. The listing for a 3D Character Artist states job responsibilities will include creating “both high resolution 3D sculpts and final low polygon game assets”, and the ability to “Couple hand painted textures and next-gen materials for use in game engine”.
A lot of the listings also ask for applicants with an “understanding of the visual style of Blizzard games and a passion to push it to the next level”. So while this new title appears to be a new, next-gen IP, it will still fall in line with the Blizzard style.
Dug up by Internet sleuth Superannuation, the online resume states work is being done on a “top-secret project to be unveiled sometime in 2014.”
While this could be Blizzard’s Project Titan, it could be something else entirely as the firm filed a trademark for Overwatch last month as well as a lead producer job posting for “unannounced game title.”
Last thing we heard regarding Project Titan occurred in August 2013, when it was announced during a call to investors the game would “likely not” be a sub-based MMORPG as originally planned.
At the time, Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime said he would move some of Project Titan’s team members over to other titles in the interim while Project Titan was taken in a “new direction.”
He also said the project had yet to be “officially announced” and it was without a “projected release date.”
Morhaime emphasized the team had gone through this “type of iterative process several times in the past,” and the team remained committed to the project’s quality.
So while it could indeed be a new game in the works, “unannounced game title” could also be an expansion, extra content for Heroes of the Storm or HearthStone, or it could be Project Titan.
Mentre è impegnata su molteplici fronti – come Diablo III, Heartstone, un nuovo StarCraft e l'espansione per World of Warcraft – sembra proprio che Blizzard Entertainment non abbia paura di accumulare un altro po' di lavoro da fare: è di oggi, infatti, la notizia che la nota software house ha depositato la registrazione per un nuovo marchio per l'Europa, Metal Arms.
Il titolo potrebbe fare riferimento a Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, shooter in terza persona uscito nel 2003 come pubblicazione di Vivendi e Sierra Entertainment – entrambe case accorpate ad Activision Blizzard. È quindi possibile che questa registrazione possa essere relativa ad un seguito del titolo uscito undici anni fa, così come è possibile che si tratti solo di una coincidenza e che quello in lavorazione sia, in realtà, un prodotto del tutto inedito.
Eye of Azshara is the next expansion to World of Warcraft and is planned to launch Q1 2016. Blizzard is intentionally breaking their mold and announcing this expansion at this year's Blizzcon for a few reasons. First, there's about to be a big company-wide push to bring the Warcraft franchise into the next decade with Hearthstone, WoW, and a PVP Battleground themed console game that will also be briefly teased at Blizzcon. Second, the loss of subscriptions at the end of MoP was a big blow to morale as they went into the expansion planning regular content patches - they want to prove to the gaming community that WoW is going to be around for awhile, and won't go stagnant at the end of the next expansion (the last patch of WoD is tentatively planned 4 to 6 months prior to the launch of EoA)
da un rumor emerso su Reddit pare che al Blizzcon sarà svelato un titolo PvP per console...se fosse vero interesse sotto lo zero per quanto mi riguarda //content.invisioncic.com/a283374/emoticons/emoticons_dent1005.gif
Annunciato al Blizzcon ovviamente non è ancora confermato per le console, però per me ci sono buone possibilità che arrivi visto il tipo di gioco :kep88:
Tanto è fps, inutile che mi mettano la gnocca darkettona badass per la cui patata farei pure un attentato, non si vede //content.invisioncic.com/a283374/emoticons/fyebr8.gif
Skewed and Reviewed have posted a teaser interview for the pending Blizzard game Overwatch. The interview talks about how the game came to be and other aspects of what fans can look forward to. They also confirm that the game is PC only
Since Blizzard announced Overwatch for PC last year, most of the gaming world has assumed it’s coming to consoles too. Now, GameStop’s all but confirmed it.
As of this morning, GameStop is taking pre-orders on the hero shooter for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, according to an NYC store I just spoke to. (h/t @SteveMightSay)
It’s likely that GameStop just spoiled an announcement Blizzard planned to make at BlizzCon in Los Angeles tomorrow, so we’ll see if official news hits then.
