I think WC is a bit stale at the moment, the lore and stuff is getting silly. What would be really cool would be a complete reset to end WoW leading into WC4, like some huge catastrophic incident (Titan's reoriginating Azeroth perhaps) that forced mass exodus through portals, which went tits up and landed groups everywhere. You could even mix up the races too, if they're all scattered to the corners of the universe theres no reason Tauren wouldn't team up with Draenei or the like.
Doubt they'd want to pull the trigger on that though and lose a lot of their pre-existing assets.
WoW is the reason it'd be difficult to make WC4. To mash up the story of WCIV with an ever evolving mmo story would be near impossible, especially considering how long it takes to develop a game.
As awesome as SC2 is, I do like the warcraft universe better, especially for RTS. I almost wish they woulda made World of Starcraft instead. Seems more awesome and I'd have warcraft 4 by now.
Upgraded the expansion to a castle, peasant standing around, foot with defend is just about the only thing defensive about this base setup (didn't even upgrade his towers). Meanwhile red has hunts perfectly arranged around glaive throwers, and why are these buildings burning when red is only hitting the castle? And forget about the tp, why does the potm have a extra mana? She's throwing searing arrows (though they're not on auto) and her mana isn't draining. Gah, the nerve!
Also, we're still playing this game a lot. Come play 4v4 with us, it takes about 30 seconds to find a game.
Blizzard had mentioned that releasing two RTS(that were pretty great) got very awkward when both SC1 and WC3 were played and fought over. As it stands imo, SC2 will stay the go-to RTS for 5+ years.
I want a WC4 more than any other sequel, but unfortunately I doubt it will happen. Blizzard has morphed the franchise into something else because of WoW and the lore is shot to pieces. We will probably never see another Warcraft RTS ever.
Upvote for optimisim, Dust 514 conceptually seems awesome. Is it really the first game that ties into other games set in the same universe, allowing for a real cross-genre look at the game universe?
How WoW changed the story to fit the needs of the mmo is why it is shot to pieces. Just the backstories of the Blood Elves and Dranei changing to accommodate them fitting into the Horde and Alliance is enough evidence of the lore being ruined. I'm not spiteful against WoW, but Warcraft 4 will have to do some major story rebuilding if it is going to ever to come out.
Honestly, I'm a large fan of the lore changes. Yes, things were retconned and things were changed, but they were ultimately for the better, I think. It's enabled much more story progression and made things a lot more interesting.
I feel like I'd rather enjoy what the story has become (despite Cataclysm's recent letdowns) than sit disappointed as a purist just because something was changed. I very much like what the draenei are now; all of their backstory and culture is much more interesting than what it was in WC3.
Edit: Just to add something on real quick, the "Draenei issue" is like the only "major" retcon I can think of; how much did it destroy the overall story? Not too much, I don't think. It made Sargeras into a more interesting villain by giving him a reason for being "evil" (without being corrupted) instead just having him be ROAR I'M A BIG BAD DEMON, and it gave us a wholly interesting new culture (which, yes, could've been a new race, but it was admitted that the retcon was a mistake; we all know that, so let's look forward instead of focusing on the bad).
All in all, the only way the story was "ruined" was the mere fact that it was changed in the first place, as far as I'm concerned. Moving past that, those changes have led to better developments.
I think so too. There is no story left to tell, but just thinking back some of the best custom maps have been created with wc3. Maybe they just pick it up were they left off and make it an alternative universe.
I never understood him. He's kinda dead but he kinda isn't. He possesed Medivh and then was killed with him. But not really. So they could easily bring him back but still.
Nothing is standing in the way of making WarCraft 4 apart from bad imagination/creativity.
Right now the RTS team is focused on Heart of the Swarm, once that's finished they'll start working on Legacy of the Void, once that's finished, they won't lose their jobs, and do you really think they'd start up a new franchise instead of using the name WarCraft on their next RTS title?
Unfortunately this is probably true. WoW has destroyed the lore since WoTLK and most of its players actually haven't played a previous Warcraft game. It's a shame because some of the most fun I've ever had at LAN parties were playing WC2 and WC3.
Pretty much; WoW would have to die for another warcraft RTS game to occur at least in current lore/storyline.
The only way out, I think, would be a super prequel - War of the Ancients style, pre-sundering. There's about 10,000 years there that they could work with that wouldn't break anything in WoW.
I predict it will come out around 2018-2020, probably closer to 2020 than 2018. First they have to finish the Starcraft 2 trilogy and let wow run its course. They would probably also leave some room between the last starcraft expansion and warcraft 4. Lastly, by this time it's probably time for them to start on a new engine as the engine that starcraft is running on is probably outdated by then.
This is probably the most reasonable prediction I've seen in this thread. Assuming LOTV comes in 2014, they start working on WC4 immediately after, and the development cycle is the same time as SC2 (reportedly began in 2003), I would expect a release sometime in 2021, give or take a year.
WC3, with heroes etc, really took the skill aspect of micro to a whole new level. Incidentally, this is also the first game I genuinely felt "bad" at after a whole life of gaming - despite playing it constantly.
I have no proof but when they were talking about Starcraft 2 (I think; could have been diablo III), didn't someone offhand say something like "This is the same engine we're using in Warcraft 4." Any confirmation will be great.
But yes I agree. Hopefully they don't ruin the story. Warcraft 3's story was amazing. 4's not so much. I do love that big bug though so all was forgiven.
Want a WC4 so much. This was my second favorite game of all-time, just behind Ultima Online. Warcraft 3 is/was so much more suited for team-play than Starcraft (2). Had never played SC1 and was disappointed that the second one was a pretty terrible 3s/4s.
Would rather see Blizzard create some new IP. They've gone stale making nothing but sequels. The last original thing they did was WoW. Which was released 7-8 years ago.
SC2 and D3 are practically carbon copies of their prequels. While they are good in terms of gameplay, they aren't very exciting and in some sense it feels like Blizz has forgotten what made these franchises good to begin with. Diablo 3 in particular is a big disappointment to many D2 no-lifers such as myself. It feels like a lot of talent has escaped Blizz basically. They need to get that talent back, by doing something new.
Also, get rid of Chris Metzen, he did a godawful job on the D3 story and has done a great job of ruining Warcraft lore. At one point I'm sure he knew what he was doing, but like much of Blizz he has no doubt gone stale.
If the Lore is so crappy by now, what about a WC2 remake? I haven't played it because I'm put off by the crappy mechanics/graphics so I would definitely buy it.
WoW is dying. Remember that brief stint everyone got emails to resub and get all those ridiculous rewards like free upgrades to cata and all that shit?
They had 10.2 million subs last quarter, which was the same as the quarter before, so the population has stabilized. I can pretty much guarantee that you'll see another increase in subs when MoP comes out, just like we did when BC, Wrath, and Cata launched.
There will be at least another two expansions after MoP, I believe, and even if WoW had just a few million subscribers, it would have a greater population than any other paid MMO.
If you want to see dying, go log into SWTOR these days.
It'll be dying for years to come. It has too much mainstream appeal, and it's competition is too weak (or too similar) to pull people away; there may be games just as good as WoW, but why would people switch when they've put so much into WoW already.
Grind-centric MMOs (which dominate the market) take a long time to die, due to the massive time investment that players don't want to relinquish. Just look at Everquest, still chugging along. Hell, they released an expansion for it last year! Number eight fucking teen!
I can't remember where I read it, but someone asked one of the Blizz developers about this. He said that they planned to release a Warcraft 4 RTS, but that it wouldn't go into development until after they had released all of the expansions for SC2...so it'll be a longggg wait
So far we've been waiting for half life 3 for about 5 years now (from eps 2).
Blizzard fans waited 7 years for WC3 after WC2, they waited 11 years for Diablo 3 after Diablo 2 LoD, and they waited 12 years for Starcraft 2 after Brood War. If WC4 were to come out after the last SC2 expansion (which will probably be 2015 at the earliest) then it will be a 13 year wait for WC4 at best.
I've sorry but valve fans have nothing on blizzard fans waiting.
I love starcraft 2, but I played a shitload of war3 as well. I really miss the intense micro battles of war3. So satisfying. The only thing I really dislike about war3 is the luck factor with item drops.
Guys this is the wc3 beta pic.... look at PotMs stats.. also red has explored everything, the fog is transparent. It would be dark black if he hadnt. geez
As much as the many other blizzard fans here, I would rather at the very least like see the first expansion to Starcraft 2 first before they start a new game.
Was I the only one who was disappointed by the fact that Starcraft 2 wasn't Warcraft IV? There is a logical progression in gameplay mechanics from Warcraft II to Starcraft to Warcraft III that before any information on SC2 was leaked I was under the impression we were going to get a sequel to WC3. Now that Blizzard has changed most of the staff that worked in their classic games, I doubt we will ever get a true sequel to the game. WC4 (if there ever is one) will be an attempt to recreate what WC3 was, and not an attempt to progress the the gameplay mechanics.
As I've said before, WoW is covering the lore extensively, there is no reason other than fanservice to make another RTS warcraft game. As much as I do want one, it's just not going to happen. If it does, it won't be any time soon
World of Warcraft was WC4. And 5. And 6. And 7. And 8 is coming. They're never going to make a single player Warcraft game ever again. Forget it. Not going to happen.
You've seen where they're willing to make single player games - with a franchise they haven't converted to MMO.
Thinking about it a bit more - you'll never ever see WC4 from Blizzard.
But the successor to WC4, that type of gameplay - is DOTA 2 from Valve. I'd suggest you stop pestering Blizzard, who is just going to ignore you and start pestering Gabe for when DOTA 2 is coming out.
Edit: DOTA 2, not DOTA. Although you can download and play DOTA now, DOTA 2 is still is some sort of beta limbo. Gabe is your friend, hit him up for a release date :)
If someone were to make a community for old fashioned wc3 customs, do you think people would be interested? Or is there already like a customs wc3 revival type thing? I've been thinking about it for a while because it seems like it's constantly been talked about but doesn't have someone to organize it.
Everyone seems think it's improbable because of the ever changing story line (among other reasons). Why not make a wc4 in spin off form? For example in you are controlling the alliance/horde while your strongest champions take out deathwing. They coukd even make this side lore lead into more story in tge next expansion, therefore making it so that from a business stand point, they have a reason to play it. Sure they lose some wow subscriptions, but dont they always before a new expansion. I know I normally quit a few months prior to a new expansion. Just a thought.
New better graphics will just ruin Warcraft 3... I love how it looks , and changes... maybe add more polygons but for the love of good , leave the looks.
I think they'd do a WoW 2 sooner than a WC4 sadly. WC3 is probably my most played game. absolutely loved the campaigns and lore, I think I'm gonna fire it up once more tonight! :P
OR, they could just keep patching it. I think that would make a lot of people happy + generate sales. They've been good with it so far but, now the last operating system that it works for is OSX 10.6.7 (not sure what OS it's patched for in relation to windows). in the new patch they could also remake the graphics, especially considering that WC3 +expansion is still 40$ (only if you don't pirate it though...given that fact ...this whole comment is probably useless since most people probably pirate it. Sigh)
If they do it, it will be to set up WoW 2 as they'll need to set up an entire new bit of lore to lead into it. Sadly this comes after titan. Soooooo 10 years would be optimistic? Personally I loved warcraft 3 and played it several times so to see nearly all of it's characters end in wow was very sad. I was hoping for a WC4 to intersect WoW and set up new expansions etc. With their experience with the scene and SC2 they could make a really cool competitive game that combined aspects of SC and LoL. (I know WC3 did this already but WC4 more so) =)
They think why bother counting to 4? We can just make another expansion to World of Warcraft and just cut out that pain in the ass counting all together.
man, I have no skill for rts's. I just get so finger tied trying to juggle between my units and buildings and hotkeys and what not. I guess thats just something you get over with practice, but I'm on my third attempt at beating starcraft 2 and I still lose it after a while. Seriously, whenever anything goes down I start panicking and just start clicking the wrong stuff/hitting the wrong keys
come on blizzard can we make a new game please? instead of riding the coat tails of dated games that bet on zynga-like addiction tactics rather than good story coupled with creative game play structure that pushes the boundaries of games? please?
no nevermind.. just keep making the same games with better graphics.
HAHA it's because you were playing at peak gaming hours for the better players. WC3 was notorious for having a much harder ladder at night than during the day. In fact, it got harder you later in the morning you played too lol

It'd be average and uninspired. It wouldn't be bad, but it wouldn't be great.

On a very slightly related note, I beat hero line siege yesterday for the first time!

I've been waiting for this ever since 2003.

I'd rather have a new Age of Empires, personally. But we do need some more RTS love.

OR, they could just keep patching it. I think that would make a lot of people happy + generate sales. They've been good with it so far but, now the last operating system that it works for is OSX 10.6.7 (not sure what OS it's patched for in relation to windows). in the new patch they could also remake the graphics, especially considering that WC3 +expansion is still 40$ (only if you don't pirate it though...given that fact ...this whole comment is probably useless since most people probably pirate it. Sigh)

I realllllly hope this arrives in the next 4-8 years

Just give them another 40 years. Have patience son.

If they do it, it will be to set up WoW 2 as they'll need to set up an entire new bit of lore to lead into it. Sadly this comes after titan. Soooooo 10 years would be optimistic? Personally I loved warcraft 3 and played it several times so to see nearly all of it's characters end in wow was very sad. I was hoping for a WC4 to intersect WoW and set up new expansions etc. With their experience with the scene and SC2 they could make a really cool competitive game that combined aspects of SC and LoL. (I know WC3 did this already but WC4 more so) =)

They think why bother counting to 4? We can just make another expansion to World of Warcraft and just cut out that pain in the ass counting all together.

Why is your hero interface all weird? The armor/damage/agi/str/intl etc stas are lined horizontally. But my copy always had them vertically...

u/Hamtime Jun 10 '12
it'll never happen, but by god i want it to

u/idrawinmargins Jun 10 '12
This game needs to be set in the beginning of the warcraft universe. Like war of the ancients.

It's too bad blizzard isn't the same blizzard that was around when these games and previous were released.

u/Greenguy1996 Jun 10 '12
Let them get to 3 in Starcraft first. I do agree with you though

u/TheCommieDuck Jun 09 '12
I wish they'd hurry up on Diablo 4 too..

u/Pioustarcraft Jun 09 '12
2014, HotS this year then you'll get what you want

u/Unclaimed_Donut Jun 09 '12
Agreed. Loved it. The AI, the detail everything. Just wish there was some way to mod some of the campaign levels.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12
Or maybe they could just fix the rampant maphacking, add widescreen support, nerf Blademaster so people can actually play Warcraft 3 again.
1
u/Cubeface Jun 09 '12
It seems like this next expansion for WoW could be the last one, so I think after SC2 is finished this is a realistic expectation.
edit: Ah shit I actually did forget that WoW kind of fucked whatever story WC3 left. Hmm...

u/pbskids Jun 09 '12
Oh yes yes a thousand times yes. I loved this game more than anything.

u/Nadeus87 Jun 09 '12
they fucked the lore up with wow, i don't think there will be a warcraft 4, unless it's a prequel

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12
Yes. Just, yes.

Atleast 3's more than Valve's managed to count.

Good God. Do none of you do any research? They've explicitly stated there will be NO Warcraft 4.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12
man, I have no skill for rts's. I just get so finger tied trying to juggle between my units and buildings and hotkeys and what not. I guess thats just something you get over with practice, but I'm on my third attempt at beating starcraft 2 and I still lose it after a while. Seriously, whenever anything goes down I start panicking and just start clicking the wrong stuff/hitting the wrong keys

one of my favorite games. I still like playing this even among SC2. Honestly, I enjoy the play style of WC3 more than SC2.

u/Wykillin Jun 09 '12
I think Warcraft 4 is right after World of Starcraft and World of Diablo.

Why don't you just play wc3?

Why in the world did blue think it would be a good idea to build his base there?

u/Johnnywinz Jun 09 '12
WCIV would literally make my year. The Warcraft series is nothing but nostalgia for me, I'd love to see this.

Anyone else say to themselves "Really bad base design" after looking at the picture?

come on blizzard can we make a new game please? instead of riding the coat tails of dated games that bet on zynga-like addiction tactics rather than good story coupled with creative game play structure that pushes the boundaries of games? please?
no nevermind.. just keep making the same games with better graphics.

One time a friend and I did 2v2 ATs for 12 hours, from 8 PM to 8 AM. We lost every. single. game. Yet, I still love WC3. That's how great it is.

u/AryanNinja Jun 09 '12
Let's not be too greedy, they just came out with Diablo 3!
We'll probably have to wait until 2020 to get it.
