AHAHAHHAHAHAH

Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm helped Blizzard realize they don't have to work on giant projects.

ufak yatırım ile yüklü para kaldırabiliyoz zaten demişler işin özetinde :D :D :D :D

Para tatlı gelmenin ötesinde bence yapamıyorlar artık.Bu söz buram buram ego kokuyor.

Diablo ve starcraft'ta agızlarının payını aldılar. Eskiden derdik blizz 10 senede bir yapar ama tam yapar. Değişti artık 10 senede bir yapar tam sıçar diyoruz.

[Komutan]

Diablo 3 ve Starcraft 2 iyi mi kötü mü tartışılabilir ama her ikisi de iyi sattı, yani şirket açısından bir başarısızlıktan söz edilemez.

Zaten sahiden değişik bir fikirle ortaya çıkılmayacaksa bundan sonra hiç MMORPG yapılmasa da olur. Tür olarak çok bayatladığını düşünüyorum.

[Kanuni]

tuh keske cikaydi bir sekilde.

kotu olsaydi bile bir kazanim olurdu sektorde.

[Rasmon]

Yeni nesil artık çok hızlı ve maymun iştahlı. MMO artık tutmaz. Bizim asosyal ve mongol nesilde en parlak çağını yaşadı işte.

[bliksem]

"MMO artık tutmaz"
"PC gaming is dead"

son on yılda şu lafları her duyduğumda yere tükürseydim şu an Interpol tarafından aranıyor olurdum

[Zikko]

titan'ı cıkarsa wow'u bitirecek ve kendi bacağına sıkacak,

artık farklı tarzlardan 1 oyun çıkarıp devam ederler, kendileri bile wow'un bunca yıl tutacagını tahmin etmediler.

titan öle ya da böyle yine cıkardı, yine milyonlar daha cıkmadan ön sipariş, ücretli beta vs her şeyini alırdı ve beta testlerinden alınan feedback'lerle bir şekilde oyunu sıfırdan cıkarsalar bile toplardı kendini,

ya ortada gerçekten oyun yok ya da harbiden istediklerini yapmaya yetemediler, yediremedikleri için de durdurduk dediler.. wow'daki hali hazırdaki kitleyi de kaybetme korkusu var tabiki de, okadar kişi bi anda bırakıp titana geçecek ve titan'ın sıçtığında bu adamların geri dönmeme riski var..

pc gaming öldüyle mmo tutmazın bağlantısı yok ki.

Kotaku'da oyunun nasil bir şey olduğuna dair bir yazı çıkmış.

http://kotaku.com/heres-what-blizzards-titan-actually-was-1638632121

For close to a decade, details about the multiplayer game that Blizzard called Project Titan have remained secret and elusive. Today we'd like to change that.

In the wake of yesterday's news that Blizzard has officially cancelled Titan, we can share a bit about what the project was meant to be: a massive multiplayer PC game in which players could both maintain non-combat professions and shoot their way through death-matches on a sci-fi version of Earth.

Blizzard declined to offer any details about the game when I reached out yesterday, but over the past 24 hours, I've talked to half a dozen people who saw or played the ambitious project, all of whom spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to talk publicly about what they knew. They've helped paint a broad picture of what was planned for Titan in the years before the game was drastically overhauled in 2013.

It's worth noting: game development is a fluid process, and from what I've heard about Titan, the developers were constantly changing and shifting plans over the months and years they worked on the game. Everything that follows is an amalgamation of information from ex-Blizzard employees, speaking to me individually, who tested, saw, or helped develop Titan between 2007 and 2012.

So what was Titan? For starters, according to three people I spoke with, it would have taken place on a near-future version of Earth, in a science-fiction depiction of the world where mankind has successfully fought off an alien invasion. Players would join one of three factions waging a cold war over control of the planet, and zones planned for the game ranged from the west coast of the United States to Europe, South America, and Australia, according to a source. Blizzard's plan was to make the game world huge, and to keep adding areas with expansions in the years after launch.

The main concept was this: you, the player, would maintain a mundane job—butchering, engineering, entrepreneurship—during the day, while waging clandestine warfare against opposing factions at night (or between work hours).

One potential scenario, described to me by a person who saw the game, might have gone something like this: You're working for a corporation, helping run a shop, when you're called for a mission by your faction, so you run into an elevator, switch outfits superhero-style, and go off to fight enemies with a group of friends or allies. Or you can just ignore the combat and keep doing your job, which could mean anything from tinkering with vehicles as a mechanic to running your own business as an entrepreneur.

Players would be able to select from classes with names like Reaper, Jumper, Titan, Ranger, and Juggernaut, each of which had its own special combat abilities and items, according to a source. Jumpers, for example, would be agile scouts with a teleport ability and the ability to quickly leap in and out of combat. Titans were tanks, while Rangers were snipers with cloaking and other abilities (think Nova from StarCraft II and the ill-fated StarCraft Ghost).

All of the people who described the game to me made a lot of Team Fortress comparisons both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. Three people who saw the game have compared the aesthetics to Team Fortress 2, with one source describing it as a cross between StarCraft II's in-game cinematics and Pixar's The Incredibles. Your perspective would switch between first- and third-person based on whether you were heading into combat or hanging out in a city, according to two sources—not unlike Bungie's Destiny.

Sources described the game as an MMO split in two parts: the "real world" and the "shadow world." (Similar in some ways to 2012's The Secret World.) In the real world, you'd craft, socialize, and work; in the shadow world, you'd shoot down enemies and fight through death-match missions with traditional shooter objectives like capture the flag. Blizzard's goal was to make both courses fun, interesting, and viable, so players could pick for themselves which way they wanted to go through the game.

Multiplayer games have had non-combat professions and tasks before, but from the sounds of it, Blizzard's take was more ambitious and interesting than anything we've seen in the past. Not only would players have been able to run their own businesses and shops, according to one source, they could maintain relationships with non-player customers and retail staff, even starting families thanks to a complicated AI system that Blizzard hoped to implement. (One source told me that Blizzard had hired a number of former Maxis staff who worked on The Sims in order to help put all this together.)

The goal, according to one person who worked on the game, was to construct cities that felt like living worlds, full of businesses, shops, and NPCs with schedules and behaviors based on what was happening at any given time. One ambitious planned system would have NPCs recognize players based on their previous interactions—for example, a shopkeeper might have interacted with you differently if you were a frequent customer.

Again, this was all part of Blizzard's plan for the game. We may never know how much they accomplished, or what was changed and overhauled over the decade Titan was in development, especially in 2013, when the team was cut down and direction shifted entirely on the game once code-named Titan.

In an interview Polygon published yesterday, Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime said the game was cancelled because it just wasn't good enough. "We didn't find the fun," he said. "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."

But it's still fun to dream about what could have been. One source described an early internal presentation of Titan that showed a professional cook saying he has to go, superhero-style, putting a dish in the oven, going out on a mission, and coming back to find that dish perfectly cooked and ready to serve.

If you're thinking this all sounds way too cool to be buried forever, here's a bit of good news: One person connected to Blizzard told me that "a good handful" of the Titan team is actually still intact, despite yesterday's news that the game has been cancelled.

"They changed the code-name after that reboot," said that person. "So the project that was 'Titan' did die last year."

So maybe Blizzard's still got a small team plugging away at Titan's world and concepts in hopes of bringing something fun—and substantially smaller—out of the wreckage. But it doesn't seem like we'll ever see the Team Fortress 2-meets-Destiny-meets-The Sims-meets-World of Warcraft chimera that Blizzard was working on for so many years. Like Starcraft Ghost and Warcraft Adventures before it, the project once called Titan is no more.
