#12I have absolutely no faith in Microsoft to make anything decent with its legacy IPs. Ohh well
Meanwhile, Nintendo with a tiny fraction of MS market cap is absolutely killing it with their legacy IP.

#13you can milk anything with nipples.
Companies still announcing big AAA games as if their customers will have the hardware necessary to run such games in 2030.
And people say I'm the one huffing copium.

#14The trailer looks really good! Accurate.

#15Even a half hearted RTS would be better recived, how can they not know that?
Couldn't be more wrong. The market for new RTSs is too tiny and saturated to turn a profit on any new IP. The small existing player base is too entrenched to move away from the old established IPs that are still popular to something new and unproven.

#16I was wondering what do they exactly mean by "open-world shooter", and checked that Dan Hay guy:
> Executive Producer on Far Cry 5
So it's safe to assume that's what they are aiming for.

#17Well, I suppose it's something that a Verge article held back from spoiling the trailer until just before where they embedded it in the article. Usually they put it right in the headline. I wish people would stop supporting this trash site and let it die.
How did they spoil the trailer for you? What's an example of them doing it in the headline?

There is no one left at Blizzard with any RTS experience. They've long since left for smaller studios.
SC2 is my favorite game of all time and I would love nothing more than an SC3. But if there ever is to be a real spiritual successor it won't be from Blizzard.

The trailer != the game, since there was no gameplay footage.
