New Blizzard MMOFPS Leaked

Hey guys came across some article on mmo-champion showing that blizzards next mmo will be an FPS called "Titan".  None of this is confirmed, but MMO champion is usually legit.

Check it out, sounds like an awesome idea! 
 
Edit: Also noticed SC2 Phoenix whatever that is.

mmofps, sounds like World Of Starcraft to me!

" mmofps, sounds like World Of Starcraft to me! "

Wasn't there a rumor that Blizzard was working with Microsoft on a Halo MMO? I imagine that's a possibility, but a slim one at that - I don't see Blizzard being too enthused working on someone else's property.

...gotta say, that image looks super easy to fake with Photoshop, or any old image editor. But otherwise, sweet! If Diablo 3 comes out Q4 2011, it'll be the perfect game to get with my new PC.

It's not really "confirmed" though is it? Even though Boub often is correct he didn't state anything about how he knows it's Blizzard new MMOFPS.   
 
Doubt a MMOFPS would rip me from WoW though. I'll just watch Blizzcon next year and see what it looks like. 
 
Wasn't Borderlands supposed to be a MMOFPS? I remember reading an article way back about a MMOFPS that was going to have millions of guns and then never heard of it again, but thought it sounded similiar to Borderlands. 
 
I wonder how a MMOFPS would work though, would it be PvE or PvP focused or would they try to keep it balanced? It is much harder to navigate and maneuver in first person mode, so how would they make PvE encounters different from tanking and spanking? Would they have different classes? Or would it basically be Call of Duty in a global scale with pure PvP? How would gear upgrades work? There must be some kind of progression which is usually delievered in games by getting phatter loot, but only upgrading your gun sounds kinda dull. Would there be stuff like chestpieces and leggings to upgrade too? It wouldn't give the same sense of satisfaction since in first person mode you're not gonna see the gear yourself. 
 
And finally, the world would likely be a smaller scale world than Azeroth because using flying mounts(In a MMOFPS likely airplanes because it's modern time) or mounts(cars, motorbikes) in general in first person mode is usually something for the enthusiast. 
 
Really, way too many questions. If this chart is legit, it's actually really sad that it leaked out so early because it won't hit as hard when they show it off and now there's just gonna be tons of assholes spamming the WoW forums even more. 
 
I trust Blizzard will make a quality game as usual, whether it's a MMOFPS or not though.

Yes please.  Not Halo though please.

They said it's not an existing IP so probably not. "

The kitten slaughter must be stopped...

I will bet a million dollars it will have nothing to do with Stacraft.

I can forsee legions of Blizzard fans saying how Blizzard invented the MMOFPS genre, while ex-Planetside players quietly rage in the corner.

I'm surprised  activision is letting them even take on such a big venture. I thought activision would force them to make nothing but world of warcraft until the franchise and the developer are mere shadows of what they used to be all for the profit of activision.

I guess you missed the release of Starcraft II earlier this year? And the newsfeed on Diablo III all year? "

How are we supposed to believe a picture like that when it looks like its fairly easy to Photoshop? 
 
Granted, it sounds interesting, but I'll wait until Blizzard officially announces whatever they've done. The last company behind my mind that doesn't ever leak anything is Blizzard. I mean, they've managed to work on StarCraft 2 for four freaking years without anyone knowing until they announced it in 2007. Note that Titan might not be the official title, as StarCraft 2 was given a codename of "Medusa". Diablo III was referred as to "Hydra". Titan would probably simply be another codename on whatever the hell they're working on.

it doesn't sound like anything. anyone could put that up in photoshop. if true than good for them. they are making another MMO that they could make even more money on.

"People are pretty excited about a new picture going around the web, supposedly a leak of the schedule of Blizzard's release for the next year. I don't usually comment that kind of things but ... 
 
 The image appeared on MMOGamesite.com, apparently this is an english MMO site based in China and I already know a lot of people will hate me for reporting that news. The document itself is probably a slide from an internal presentation to executives and/or shareholders, and seems to be 8 months old according to the date at the top." 
 
Supposedly. Apparently. Probably. 
 
Yeah, no.

"  I wonder how a MMOFPS would work though, would it be PvE or PvP focused or would they try to keep it balanced?  "

I like how based on that graph, Diablo III will be released in 2012. I'm going to go on a hunch and say it's December of 2012. You know... that part of that year where the world just explodes?

My guess is that it will be a "EVE online"-kind of game. With the Blizzard hype, and their skill in making things accessible it could be a huge hit. Same addictive scheme. New setting and feel.

So Planetside 2.....

I'll believe it when I see it. There is no point getting hyped over what is so easily faked.

Aw, so no Blackthorne MMO? :( "

Isn't the bigger news here that Blizzard is actually creating a new fucking IP?

If that's real, which I kind of doubt (but who knows...), then to me Diablo 3 coming out Q4 2011 is more awesome to me than the MMOFPS coming out Q4 2013 :P  I was kind of expecting a summer launch of Diablo 3 in 2012 (around the time SC2 launched this year.)

Old news.

I don't think a Blizzard product slate sheet would show the WOW movie, I'm calling bogus.

Blizzards new MMOFPS comming out at the end of time going head to head with HL2 E3 and GT6 Prologue

If Blizzard is making it, then you'll have plenty of time to read more leaked documents in the 10 years it'll take them to make it. 

This hasn't really been confirmed yet. I do hope it's something in that vein, though. I miss Planetside a whole lot and if anyone can do justice to a certain genre it's Blizzard. And it doesn't really make sense for them to come out with something similar to WoW and cannibalize that userbase.

Oh snap, FPS!? 
 
Without trying to sound like a fan-boy... I will buy literally every game that Blizzard makes, regardless of quality.

MMOFPS sounds like a genre i can get into actually.

PlanetSide was awesome for its time and it was developed by SO-fucking-E. If they managed that much, I can't wait to see what Blizzard can do in that arena.
