• • MMOs at the end of their existence, or are the just getting started?

  • I don't think it is the end by no means but clearly todays mmos have not done well as expected. It seems nobody is willing to take that next step to be more innovative because it will cost them more money to do so. Plus, they are afraid that if they gave people something more complex they wouldn't sell their product that well either. Today, mmo gaming is about making money and keeping their investors happy. Eventually someone will come along and break the rules but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

  • Don't know about hating it meaning the actual game though the in-game community can use an overhaul once in awhile.

    Everyone seems to be thinking rather limited. A seemless world doesnt automatically mean MMO. Look at guildwars, that game is not an mmo, but it has a persistant world. There is a lobby system where people can socialize, shop, find groups, encounter one another in game at any random time. Now we all know the battlenet system. Its basically a text lobby where people make 1 to 4 man rooms and wait for people to join, hardly interactive.  Diablo cant have any serious guilds with the battlenet set up., or serious parting either, where you party together for certain events, boss fights, and not just to play one act of the story over and over again.

     

    Ask yourself what diablo 3 is bringing to the table that isnt already here in this day and age of gaming.  Why is there still a class system? Where are the classes bound to race still? With the sucess of wow, why is it every class is going to have a preset model and race instead of being able to choose your race and class seperrately.

     

    Diablo 3 just seems like titan quest 2.0 at this point. And i know good and well diablo  was the first, it doesnt mean that should be enough to keep it as the king. So far, the only thing new and exciting about this game so far is the name.

     

    PS... cant blame EA for Hellgates failure, that game was terrrible back in alpha. But even that 3d style  wouldve been a better route for diablo to go,

    
     

    Yeah I understand what you are saying and you make sense but look at it this way. It is Diablo, it's the greatest rpg of all time for the pc. Between the 2 games it sold 17 million copies. I can't even think of a mmo who can even come close to that number except WOW. Just like SC2, people are going to buy this game like there is no tomorrow. Innovation, well it is Blizzard and they have proven they don't need to be super innovative to be successful.

    As far as FSS goes look at it this way, if FSS was still affiliated with Blizzard/Vivendi would Hellgate get released in the US in the state it was ? Ofcourse not and most people I think would agree on that. All Hellgate needed was a few more months in the oven but ofcourse Hellgate+Halloween, EA was dreaming of doallar signs.

• • Blizzards new MMO

  • WOW 2 or a new ip. Though at the end of the zerg revealed trailer you hear them mention that they are evolving into something much much more. Something to think about perhaps. Either way I am sure we will find out soon enough.
