Blizzard fuses with Activision

[Corrupted-cow]

As far as i know, Activision made the "Total War" games. Those are not bad, but they havent made great changes to them (at least in my eyes). A Total War game with a Warcraft feeling would deffinetly be nice =P

 

[Kimbo]

Activision made the early Mechwarrior games, even though they are old, hell, playing them again is still awesome, for me of course.
And Activision stuff is alright to me, got no real human beef with them. I dont really care with this whole "blizz+acti" merge shit and what people are complaining about, hell, its fairly common or normal or whatever for shit like this to happen. So really, if there isnt many changes then whats so bad? Surely ...well yeah, not much + but I dont see much -. So not really anything to whine about from me yeah.

Sega did total war

 

[brad.dude03]

Are you sure you're not thinking of Spartan Total Warrior, that terrible hack 'n slash Sega made a few years back?

 

[RED BARON]

Sega did total war

No they didnt.... at least they didnt made that game which Corrupted for sure is talking about...

what if I add Total War Viking Invasion or Rom Invasion Total War?

 

[Amish_KOTP]

My bad apparently Activision made total war and sega got it later...sega did however make Medieval Total War II

 

[gerbal_warfare]

If they don't make warcraft 4 they're as silly as squareenix not releasing a ff7 remake for ps3. Missing out on potential millions. (The latter billions from fanboys)

 

[RED BARON]

Dont think copy right allows them to do that... and this game is rather new:
(Just to prove)

 

[Mor)L(unE]

but some other wow will bring in more money

 

[redmarine]

Alright... Nothing will change... Vivala has owned Blizzard and Activision Blizzard since stone age... So what should we be afrait off?
Btw:
Warcraft III = Nice Custom Maps
Starcraft = Good melee
Warcraft III + Starcraft = Powerful Starcraft II Editor

 

[m1dY]

Yippeeee

Yay Something Excitings gonna happen lol ...

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

No they didnt....

Oh but they did, I have the game installed on my Vista PC...

 

[Amish_KOTP]

like i said, activision made it first then sega took over

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Thanks for reinforcing our point

 

[RED BARON]

we just do our best

 

[Sacrimo]

Activion pretty much made all the good games we play today, so if blizzard and activision are combining, we should get better graphic games, better lore, and improved Jass built in world editors.

That my friends is the Nerd dream.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Dreams far from always come true, lets hope for the best

 

[brad.dude03]

But they AREN'T COMBINING. What's not to get? All that's happening is that Vivendi now owns Activision. Blizzard and Activision are remaining two completely seperate companies, and nothing at all will change.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

None of them get that, brad.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i totally get it.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Perhaps someone informed us wrong..

 

[TheDivineBoss]

So the title is wrong? Blizzard isn't fusing with Activision?

 

[busterkomo]

So, they are only fusing to draw publicity?

 

[SantaBla]

If they don't make warcraft 4 they're as silly as squareenix not releasing a ff7 remake for ps3. Missing out on potential millions. (The latter billions from fanboys)

Leave FF7 alone. It's a great game on its own and it's still not the best FF I played.

And I'm all up for ACTI + BLIZZ

Mechwarriors used to rule. Too bad it didn't sell enough.

 

[brad.dude03]

It's the best hands down.

And yes, the thread title is misleading because this does not change anything for us. Activision may change due to it now being owned by Vivendi, but it wont change Blizzard at all.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

They won't make a fecking WC4 because it is covered mainly in TBC and WotLK!!!

 

[Elenai]

I will laugh at you Kaitech, when they announce "Warcraft IV Call of the Naaru"

As long as Blizzard keeps its quality, mod friendliness, and all around stays Blizzard...I am fine with it.

 

[Herio-san]

Be on the look out for Rockin Arthas in Guitar Hero 4!11!!!1 haha
/end lol

Nah, all kidding aside, I dont really see how this merger is beneficial. If the development teams arent merging I dont see any real changes for Blizzard except maybe Activision pushing them to get some games out faster (or maybe on time for once). Though, the fact will likely be that nothing will change seeing how it isnt a real "merger" but rather a partnership.

Just wondering, anyone know if they are sharing rights then? For example, blizzard can incorporate FF7 characters etc in their work.

 

[redmarine]

They can share resources. -.-

 

[Eleandor]

But will they? Most certainly not. Typical to Blizzard is its unique cartoonish art.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Add: That we all love. Warcraft-cartoonish style rules!

Maybe Ralle should add a Poll in this:
Do you want Blizzard to fuse with Activision?
A) Yes
B) No
C) Maybe, don't know (optional)

Why should he? They already fused

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Come on! A poll! That makes the thread more fun!

 

[Just_Spectating]

like what,
Your views on blizzards fusion with activision
Favor
Dislike
who cares?

 

[brad.dude03]

Who cares, since IT CHANGES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

 

[Elenai]

To quote a wise man....

"Follow the money honey."

-A wise man-

 

[RED BARON]

Proably Scroodge.... a very old very wise, very not friendly person....

A poll would for sure be unneeded.

 

[Amish_KOTP]

Just count the amount of posts that say "Nay" and the amount that say "Yay" and theres your flippin poll

 

[Just_Spectating]

nyay! XD it means neutral

 

[RED BARON]

nyay! XD it means neutral

and then Ney must mean no

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

hope there's warcraft 4 with this news

 

[brad.dude03]

Or you could read the thread and figure out that this news does not change the chances of a Warcraft 4 at all.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

WoW is Warcraft 4, learn it.

I want a Wc5!

 

[RED BARON]

Was thinking of saying just that.. but didnt as someone else was proably going to do so.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

WoW would be warcraft 4, that would be a major rape..

You cant just make a strategy game into a mmorpg and say tadaa heres warcraft 4. poeple dont like that

Inded... but that was kinda what Blizzard did, and many mio seems to like it

 

[Pyritie]

...which is why it's called World of Warcraft and not Warcraft IV.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Because it's a ''World'' of a place called ''Warcraft''.......

 

[Eleandor]

warcraft is a place? I thought it was... Azeroth...

WOA! would've been better
Though I can understand they mean the Realms (aka Universe) of warcraft...
