Might give them time to consider a Warcraft IV?

I read this, but it doesn't really make me sad. It just shows that Blizzard still cares about the games they release.

Lets hope so. I doubt it though.

It appears their WoW marketing remarks resulted this project to go down.

Since I've opened the same topic in General Gaming, I will merge these threads.

^ I lol'd xD
On a relevant note, I agree that it shows that Blizzard still cares about their games. I mean, The way they are building hype for Warlords of Draenor is quite something else!
I don't think Blizzard had me this hyped for a game since Cataclysm
(Let's just hope it doesn't tread in Cataclysm's foot steps :/)

What a shame ;/

They cancelled it because really.... they can still make a lot of money from WoW. No MMO Universe is as loved as the Warcraft one. Also WoW is looking better with each expansion. No real reason to make a new MMO.

Funny , after 7 years of development , they just wasted 50 million dollars for nothing... I hope they will realize that , a waste of money and time.

Oh well , i think they are just "maintaining" their beautiful reputation/games , they dont want to disappoint gamers.

It just goes to show, that they really care about the games they release.

*cough* diablo 3 *cough*

I think they just don't know how to remove leaks, the game fails, project's cancelled, go home..

"We didn't find the fun," Morhaime continued. "We didn't find the passion. We talked about how we put it through a reevaluation period, and actually, what we reevaluated is whether that's the game we really wanted to be making. The answer is no.

That's a valid reason, don't do something you don't like... normally

Well only the screen and keyboard got destroyed, but not the computer.

Hopefully Warcraft 4.

Titan could have been good too, only if they had direction in it.

 

[Kino]

They probably walked into Titan off the high of WoW's initial popularity without a real plan beyond "lets make the same thing but bigger" further down the line.

 

[Vinz]

They should recycle Titan models for Warcraft 4, if ever.

This actually makes me worry. I just hope they wont cancel Warcraft Movie.

This actually makes me worry. I just hope they wont cancel Warcraft Movie.

If they decide to, it's probably because it is not as good as they wanted it to be, which is a good thing. I'd rather not want a warcraft movie, than a bad warcraft movie.

It's not a good theme anyways. I mean, in my opinion, there are much better action stories in Warcraft than the First and Second Wars.
