Blizzard one again shock us ALL!


Today started Blizzcon 2014, this is like getting Christmas early for gamers around the world! Leading up to this year’s show there was tons speculation on possible new expansion and games. As crazy as the internet is with rumors, leaks and just bad information, Blizzard was able to keep all their secrets safe!

Titan cancelled; does anyone else remember this report across the internet? "Blizzard throws away million and shuts down project". I also remember that blizzard is the company that will shelve a project if it is not up to their standards. This is good and gives gamers the best products out there. Following this method is how Blizzard has been able to stay in front of the gaming market for 20 years. Now that Titan has been cancelled what possible news could we get from Blizzcon?

Oh just a new IP called Overwatch? Well, dam no hype on this game until they showed it off at the show and it seems very polished. They are so good at keeping secrets! They are also going to put it into Beta Testing in January 2015? Like I said blizzard shocked us all and I for one and super excited. I cannot wait to play this and it is a first person shooter. I am not the biggest fan of shooters, but this game looks amazing. When is the last time you played a shooter where teamwork was more important than kills?

Hearthstone has a new expansion coming in December 2014? How they pulled this all off at the same time they are releasing Warlords of Draenor shows Blizzard dedication to their games. Goblins vs Gnomes looks like it is going to bring more craftiness into the game through these two different engineers. They make stuff it blows up; they make more stuff it blows up with an even bigger boom. What are we going to get that just blows up as a card, I am not sure, but I cannot wait to play for the goblins!

Wow, we can’t forget about Starcraft! A standalone product where is does not matter if you have played any of the other games! They have just made this massively successful game even more accessible to gamers who are going to want to see how the series draws to a close. The final chapter is going to be told and we will all see what happens to this living universe we have grown to love. Oh yea and they said Lurkers are back…no big deal!

This is just a small list of release and news they talked about today during the opening ceremony. Blizzard may take a lot of crap from the community because they are not able to be what every player wants them too, but they are still a top the MMO world, Hearthstone has taken e-sports by storm and now they are going to make a FPS? Blizzard has managed to show us what we should expected from all games we play as we watch them pour everything into just a few products to make sure we have the best possible game they can give us! I do not think they can go wrong.

As always I will keep bringing that BOOM and let me know what you think!!!
