I know it’s a long shot, but I’d love to see a new Warcraft game. I miss that kind of gameplay and the world it was set in.
I’d love a Warcraft IV… but only if it was made by the old Blizzard. The newer Blizzard? I’d rather not see them mess up what we love.

Honestly, a Warcraft sequel is never going to happen, but many of the folks who made Starcraft 2 left Blizzard and started their own studio to make more RTS games. Blizzard wasn’t interested.

Isn’t that new game they’re working on kinda bad, though? I’ve heard it’s more like a cash grab than a true RTS.

I played it when it first came out in early access, and it was rough. I’ve been playing a lot of AoE4, and the pathing issues in that new game were really annoying. It didn’t feel like a modern RTS.

Well, it’s early access, but I’ve heard it has potential. Checked their forum, and it seems like people are cautiously optimistic, though I might not be up-to-date.

Most early reviews say it’s generic and kinda boring. It’s just not up to par with the classics like Warcraft or Starcraft.

Yeah, those ‘ex-developer revives classic game’ stories rarely turn out well.
@Jules
These devs probably don’t even realize why the original was so good. They just try to copy the formula and hope for the best.

It’s like they had a big fish in a small pond back then. Now, there are tons of options, and honestly, gaming has changed so much since the early Warcraft days.

I think part of the issue is just that expectations are impossibly high. Nothing they make will ever please the hardcore fans.
@Kit
I’ve been following it, and the forum thinks the game’s gonna flop. The core mechanics just don’t feel right, and instead of refining the basics, they’re pushing 3v3 battles.

Isn’t that kinda like Warcraft 3, though? I remember grinding camps and building up your base was a big deal in PvP.
@Kit
It was a part of it, but it wasn’t the entire game. The focus was more on strategy than just farming creeps.
@Kit
I’ll try to find the thread about the game’s finances. Honestly, I was interested until I saw that info.

Please do, I’m curious. Games like Wings of Liberty cost a fortune to make, so I’d like to see how it compares.

The art style’s kind of off, though. The main character looks weird, like some kind of insect. And her fast attack speed makes the gameplay a bit clunky.

Art can be fixed over time, but the gameplay mechanics are what matter most. They need to get that right first.

Funny thing… there was a new Warcraft version on the PTR a couple of weeks ago. It’s encrypted, but folks think it might be another Warcraft Reforged or (we can dream) Warcraft IV.

Wait, a new version of Warcraft? On which PTR? Reforged was such a mess that they better have a solid team working on this.
