Blizzard teases console projects

Activision-owned developer Blizzard has told MCV that it is very much considering developing a new game for consoles.

Blizzard has in the past developed titles for consoles, however, including the likes of Rock ‘n’ Roll Racing, The Death and Return of Superman and Justice League Task Force. And it won’t rule out further console titles in the future.

They also teased no subscription based games, right? Frankly I could care less about what Blizzard wants to do, as long as those fees are there, I'm not buying anything. I mean for a console, you have to pay for PSN+ or XBL, then you have to buy a $60 game, then pay $15 a month for a single game. I would rather buy another Wii..

ZombieAutopsy5799d ago

You don't have to pay for PSN+ to play games online.

zootang5799d ago

PSN+ is just a savers club, that is all.

SC2 Ps3 version with move support!

morganfell5799d ago (Edited 5799d ago )

Blizzard stated last year that Starcraft Ghost was never canceled, merely on hiatus. They added that after Starcraft II shipped they would revisit the idea.

As for strategy games on the PS3, look at the 1:50 mark here:

To play the subscription based games, like DCU. It's "free" to play DCU with a PSN+ but you still have to pay with out the PSN+.. so yea.. it's still a subscription either way you look at it.

I dont think thats been confirmed Merivigian, sounds more like wishful thinking.

kevnb5799d ago

while move looks like it can be fun, it wouldnt be that great for starcraft. CIV 5 maybe since its turn based, but not something that requires constant movement, shortcut keys, and no input lag.

No he is not. I myself would like to know that is PSN+. I know of PS+ (PlayStation PLUS) but not of PSN+.

morganfell5799d ago

The point being if people are going to criticize it they ought to at least be able to name it...

TheHater5799d ago

When is PSN+ coming? You seem to know something we don't. Will PSN+ be similar to PS+?
Also do you have source that PSN+ members will not have to pay for DCUO?

AntoineDcoolette5799d ago

You don't realize that Blizzard makes games other than World of Warcraft, do you Merivigian.... ? They've released several console titles in the past and guess what? Gasp! All were free to play after the initial fee!

New console projects? I wasn't aware they had so much as touched a console project since Diablo on the original Playstation.

Cheeseknight285799d ago

Starcraft Ghost never released but it was designed with consoles in mind. I could care less if it comes out now, but the fact that NOVA pops up so much in Starcraft II pretty much is a good hint that it may show up.

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic106d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht106d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel1989105d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Azurite105d ago

Battle pass exclusives.

Michiel1989105d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.

Flenter105d ago

Ah...money,money,moneyyyyy
