Blizzard’s new first person game has playable/drivable vehicles, is online
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Do Hearthstone and HotS even count as a new IP when they exclusively use old IPs
Its Overwatch horde mode, play as Mercy and survive waves of Genjis requiring healing.
Maybe if there was potential that the games looked anything close to those cinematics
I'll be interested in seeing what it ends up being.
For some reason, vehicles have always turned me off of multplayer in first person shooters, outside of a couple of exceptions (Battlefield 1943 and the first Battlefield Bad Company). I hated when they were introduced in Call of Duty 3, and much prefer no vehicles.

The unannounced project is probably a WoW xpac which includes locked First-Person BGs with new siege vehicles. First-Person Perspective was popular in PUBG, so Blizz thought, why not WoW?
A Battlefield like game in the Starcraft universe makes so much sense it hurts. On the other hand a game starring the only decent Overwatch character, Soldier 76, would be hot.
There is actually a non-trivial chance of this being the case. During the between-mission segments, Wings of Liberty looks like this:
And mind you, that's for a game that released in 2010. Legacy of the Void ups the ante noticeably from there:
Blizzard might not be well-known for stellar in-game visuals, but Starcraft games will likely always be their most bleeding-edge games in this regard.

This is explicitly listed as a new project, not part of one of the existing teams, which each have their own sections.
After learning about what Overwatch could have been, I want it even more lol. This game obviously wont be, but man would I kill for an Overwatch "campaign" mode.
Starcraft: Battlefield could work really well. Hope we get some Ghost missions if it is finally! That universe could work really well as a FPS online shooter.

I kinda want this to be a Blizzworld VR game but man oh man Starcraft: Battlefield would be the shit. I cant imagine how they would make zerg play or how they could make big enough lobbies and whatnot that is typical of that kind of game.
Actually it'd be neat if it was like Battlefront and you could play as heroes and stuff like (these will be spelt wrong) Kerrigan and Dimitry for Zerg, Raynor and that other guy for Terrans, Zeratul and Anduin for the protoss.

The way Blizzard development works, that doesn't really disqualify anything.
It could have been mid-development for a year or more fumbling for an actual purpose when PUBG started to go huge, causing someone to point and say, "Let's do something like that, but competent."
That's exactly what I'm hoping. That it has some sort of story campaign in it. Otherwise they just can add Battlegrounds with vehicles for all I care.
I feel like it won't really resemble Overwatch's small scale and pick up and play style but rather something slightly more simy and large scale a la Battlefield so that they have people playing both rather than ditch one.
Maybe it will resemble Quake Wars a little bit, that was a pretty good attempt at something like a larger scale Enemy Territory.
Or maybe they'll surprise us with something completely different.

Yes, please.
I gave Overwatch with a shot and I still kinda regret the purchase even though they occasionally have PvE events for holidays. If this new thing doesn't have a campaign and is just another first-person PvP-fest in the long line of first-person PvP-fests, I'm out.

Yeah ive played them, and the single static room between missions doesn't represent what an fps would look like at all :S
Overwatch looks great because of its stylized cartoony aesthetic which doesnt really work for SC.
