Blizzard Announces Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth!

A new world of Warcraft awaits you in Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth! After the real-time strategy classics StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War, this bold new project marks a long-awaited return to the genre. In Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth, you can experience the lands of Azeroth and Outland from an all-new perspective, and take control of your favorite heroes, units, and buildings of World of Warcraft. In addition, you will witness a never-before-seen slice of the Warcraft timeline, such as the turbulent years just prior to the formation of the Alliance and the new Horde! Take a closer look on the new official Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth website!

Whoa .

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

WOW!! fainly!! I love the pictures of it too!!

 

[Tonks]

We need one of those :rofl: smilies.

 

[boomwolf]

some wow-addict 10 years old might think its real...

Why can't people roll with jokes anymore? They all just have to spoil it.

By the way, please streamline your signature, boomwolf. Half of the info is unnecessary, and it can be reduced to Size 1. You should also try keep as much text on a single line as you can.

 

[boomwolf]

ok...i will edit my sig...

BTW-i didnt say its not funny...infact if that would happen it would be even more funny...

 

[Tonks]

BTW-i didnt say its not funny...infact if that would happen it would be even more funny...

Just the mere fact that you decided to exclaim it as a joke ruined it for everyone. Now no one is going to get a good laugh out of it, since no one is going to make a fool of themselves.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The Wow geeks are guaranteed to go "WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY MADE A NOTHER WORLD OF WARCRAFT GAME!"

And everyone here knows its a joke, so theres no reason to try and fool people by going along. You can't spoil something like this on a warcraft 3 modding community.

Oh, and it totally messes with the WoW players, saying they clearly missed something.

 

[operator]

OMG, OMG!! I've been waiting for this

 

[Kimbo]

You know, its the 2nd of April here...things are tasty pretty blunt.

 

[Dr Super Good]

HAY that game looks exactly like WC3, wait it is wc3, right down to the requirements. As if someone could be fooled by thoes requirements, 800 MHZ for a modern game? impossiable, atleast 3GHZ. As for graphics, all modern games need DX9+ with SM2+ support, not a 8MB of GRAM card.
Also this is probably an aprils fool joke, it has to be.

 

[Tonks]

You know, its the 2nd of April here...things are tasty pretty blunt.

Heh, I'm in AK, so it's still 7:10pm on April 1st.

Also this is probably an aprils fool joke, it has to be.

Honestly, we need to get a :rofl: smilie!

 

[DragoonZombie]

.... did you guys ever played the campaign ( All )? The screenshots are from the normal RoC, TFT and Bonus campaign.... and the "new" box covers... i never saw something that crappy.

It's definitive a fake.

but i like the shortened name:
http://blizzard.com/[color=red]whoa[/color]/

 

[HappyTauren]

W0w!!! w00t!!! l33t!!! teh supp3r!11111

-.- whoa

 

[Xarwin]

Another smart mistake for the eye is the *boxes*. Thats so stupid, u can still see that they painted something over the original Warcraft 3 box !

Some WoW players might have been convinced.

But of course for people who already played Warcraft III it was obvious. Well, for me, it was a bit weird. I was like: "...Right... this has Warcraft 3 screenshots... or am I just too blind to see any new graphics?" but then, there was a screenshot of the Human vs Orc mission, in which you have to kill the Blademaster.

Well, they could have at least mentioned the dying Warcraft III, so that some people would actually begin coming back to War3. And put it back to stores, of course <.<

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

* now waiting for the real wc4 *

 

[Mechanical Man]

I remember that it was once an april joke about introducing goblin tinker into warcraft. But later with the 1.15 patch they really released them.

 

[Tonks]

Heh, when I was scrolling through it, I was a little confused, then I saw "Featuring an all new top-down view for improved gameplay!" Then I looked at the release date. I got one kid on a chatroom with it. He was like, "OmFGFZROZ! 111!!! I"M SO GUNA GO PREORDER DIS!!!!!!"

 

[Cavman]

I'ma looking at this, and I'm thinking this is meant to poke fun at those WoW players that know NOTHING of warcraft lore.

 

[Ihaterednecks]

People are stupid.

 

[OrcmastergroM]

ya u get to play a role in the burning of Stratholme... im sure you did in WC3, werent you Arthas. lol, Didnt Blizzard do that with StarCraft 2? lol but ya there will soon be a WC4 and a SC2 dont worry but be sure to read the date especially if were in APRIL lol

 

[Dr Super Good]

WC4 and SC2 will never be made, WoW makes far more money than WC4 and SC2 put together could.

 

[OrcmastergroM]

Yes but Blizzard has announced they will be making another RTS for both StarCraft and WarCraft.

 

[RabbidWolf]

I think it would be pretty cool to announce an official, REAL, WarCraft 4.

 

[OrcmastergroM]

Yea, i cannot wait for a StarCraft 2. ALot of people cant infact.

 

[Rui]

I agree. Warcraft III is becoming old; more people leave for other RTS games now and then. A Warcraft IV would be great =) I wonder if we'll get all the playable races on WoW.

 

[OrcmastergroM]

Lol true but they would make a SC2 before a WC4 because well the SC fans would get REALLY mad for not gettin a sequel in 10 YEARS!

 

[HappyTauren]

Lol true but they would make a SC2 before a WC4 because well the SC fans would get REALLY mad for not gettin a sequel in 10 YEARS!

so what? who fucks them?

this is warcraft site, dont worry bauit sc...

 

[OrcmastergroM]

lol. I know this is a WC site im just sayin they will be making a SC2 prolly before a WC4

 

[HappyTauren]

nope. Do you know why?

wc3 rulez, wow rulez...
wc4 WOULD rule if they made it. Simple.

 

[Jacek]

Make a Starcraft FPS game like Deus Ex 1 and you will be my god

 

[Rui]

I never liked those space-stuff much, so I would prefer Warcraft IV.

 

[OrcmastergroM]

Well its just been quoetd by blizzard on their site
StarCraft 2 is on their number 1 top of priorities

so im guessing SC2 b4 WC4

 

[Ihaterednecks]

I never liked those space-stuff much, so I would prefer Warcraft IV.

Neither do I, but I would welcome either game. Warcraft is my favorite little fantasy universe though, so I'd rather have Warcraft IV.

 

[Ratherion]

Sc2.. would pwn, zerglings with protoss sheilds, burrowing zealots. An expansion on that whole "secret mission" of the zerg-protoss hybrids would be awsome.

 

[Dionesiist]

Diablo III ftw!

 

[Tonks]

Diablo III ftw!

An aristocrat! I agree.

 

[Kixer]

Go Blizzard!

I would love any Blizzard RTS!
But please no more rpgs or mmorpg updates... If they make diablo 3 i'll buy it, play it, but not love it!
Starcraft or Warcraft it doesnt matter as long as its a RTS!

 

[HappyTauren]

hehe, demonsofdante, import these PWNAGE ashanvale trees! they are great for ashen forests

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Warcraft 4 with the F.E.A.R engine

 

[Rui]

Same engine is better in my opinion. Or at least small amounts of units like in Battle for Middle Earth 1 which is like 5/10 per group. In BFME II there are usually 15/20 per battalion.
Anyway, the unit system of Warcraft III is ok. They could develop 4 different races, but will they be able to add at least one more?

 

[Ratherion]

Please, that would be awsome, something like the outland demons as a race (as those are the only un-claimed ones) like the draeni and the other outland races team up or something. But thats lame.

PROTOSS+ZERG HYBRID SECRET RACE FOR WC4!!

 

[Kjiverx]

Sc2.. would pwn, zerglings with protoss sheilds, burrowing zealots. An expansion on that whole "secret mission" of the zerg-protoss hybrids would be awsome.

Kerrigan is coming for you. and it's gonna be VERY PAINFUL. Honestly! I want World of Starcraft or Starcraft:Ghost before sc2. Siege Tanks... yesss...precioussss Sssiege Tanksss...(continues muttering)

and that whoa thing might be real, given the amount of retcons that've happened.

 

[Ratherion]

Seige tanks that fire living infested terran..... no it's too good.

WORLD OF STARCRAFT??? WTH???? cool!

 

[Tonks]

and that whoa thing might be real, given the amount of retcons that've happened.

Did you even ... glance .. at the website? If you did, I pity you.

in what way? i thought it was amusing. but they might be serious.

 

[Tonks]

in what way? i thought it was amusing. but they might be serious.

It was Warcraft III. All of it. The screenshots, the descriptions, everything. It's not a matter of possibilities. It's a matter of it being the exact same game. The boxes were even the same, then just taped a new LoGo on.
