Sorry, Blizzard, We're Calling You The Boob of the PS4 Conference

Bobby thought for sure that when Sony brought Blizzard onto the stage to speak, the company would announce a new ip of some sorts. Bobby's heart was racing, as he hoped to hear of a World of Warcraft 2 or other MMO coming to the PS4. However, that didn't happen at all.

Bad Editing
When copying text from the source article make sure you read over the text and edit it if necessary. A good example is when a site writes "We" or "I" , as this should then be replaced with the site's or person's name, or you can quote the source. Even if you are the author.

Definitely the biggest disappointment to me.

Godchild10204105d ago

Square Enix was the biggest disappointment for me. At least from Blizzard we got a game announced there and not a "please get excited about e3" announcement.

Kamikaze1354105d ago

Honestly, I'd rather look forward to a new game that might disappoint me (or not) than to an old game that disappointed me.

Blastoise4104d ago

Classic Squeenix. Getting people hyped up over the Final Fantasy name for no reason

Heres hoping they can actually release a game for once that doesn't have lightning in it

iMaim4104d ago

Scumbag Square Enix crashed the party and brought the same present they gave last year.

adorie4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

square enix was a total waste of time, when they had begun to show the tech demo, I confirmed to myself that it looked "good running on PS4" then left to fold clothes.

They really had no business there if all they showed was a tech demo and had a guy say to get ready for E3 for any FF news.

I bought a PS3 for Final Fantasy, but all I got were empty promises, dodgy answers, closed door screenings (which end up leaked to us anyway) and focusing on the wrong console.

Square Enix did not deserve the publicity they got from the Sony event, imo

On the other hand, SE has a chance to redeem themselves as a strong Japanese RPG developer.
2013 might be the final year that I givea damn about Square Enix any longer. Balls in their court, always has been, I'm just a masochist when it comes to keeping the hope alive that they will smarten up.

Imikida4104d ago

Blizzard was worse then Square Enix in my opinion. They start with "Blizzard, and Sony are gonna take over the world." They hyped my up for a new promising IP, but instead they tried to cash in on a year old game, that no console players really care about any way. Atleast Square Enix showed an entertaining tech demo.

Kevin ButIer4104d ago

SquareEnix was a total waste of time, at least Blizzard was unexpected and gave me the impresion that we'll see some nice games in the future from them

Seriously!!!... Did Sony fanbase really expect Blizzard to make a exclusive game for the PS4 and leave the PC fanbase hanging ?

What world do you live in ?

If it wasn't the PC fanbase, there would be no Blizzard.

Reverent4104d ago

I don't think that's what anyone assumed... -_-

DarkHeroZX4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

calm your tits down, nobody expected Blizzard to announce an exclusive. We where expecting a whole new experience or maybe even Diablo 2 free to play.

Diablo 2>>>>>> Biablo 3

FamilyGuy4104d ago

The expectation was a new game, whether it be multi-console or not a NEW game would have been nice.

This wouldn't mean Blizzard abandoning PC gamers, just releasing whatever it's new thing is onto both a console and pc.

sonic9894104d ago

do you own the company or something
the same thing can be said about sony and square enix .
really childish comment

yeahokchief4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

You think they care about their fanbase more than making money?

Have you played one of their games recently?

I'm currently more of a console gamer, but I used to play the shit out of WC3, TFT and WoW (pre casualfest where new content was defeated in months instead of days).

If you think they care about their fans more than making money and being the "highest selling blahblahblah" you are deluded.

They care about their ego and making money. The more money they make, the more ambitious they can be with their next game. They don't give a shit about what you're playing on so long as they sell more copies of it and it runs smooth on cheap hardware so that it's more accessible.

Personally I wish they had stayed off the Ps4. I'm going to remove any of my friends from my circle that I see playing their stuff on the PS4 (if I buy a Ps4).

I just can't stand sellouts. They remind me of the people I helped gear up in old 25mans who took the gear and moved onto some larger guild. Sellouts. Not to say my guilds weren't successful. Nabbed everyone of the Wotlk server firsts and had a pair of glaives prenerfs for what that's worth. But fuck those sellouts and all their new sheep. What made WoW fun was the challenge. Getting your ass handed to you for a good few weeks before moving forward. Then Wotlk comes and bam all the new content is done within the first day on normal. So dumb.

Dark Souls was more challenging than day 1 WoW content. They seem to get it. I have high hopes for future games by FROM especially if they make games on the PS4 and are less limited with playercounts and world sizes etc.

AzaziL4103d ago

I was honestly was hoping for blizzards next mmo...

Raf1k14104d ago

At first I was surprised and excited to see what Blizzard was going to show but then I was disappointed as soon as I heard the music just before the image popped up.

If I had thought back to all the articles we got about Blizzard testing out D3 with a controller then It wouldn't have taken much for me to guess they'd show D3 and something new and amazing.

GraveLord4104d ago

How is it disappointing? Diablo 3 is coming to PS3 and pS4 and so will their future games. Most likely Titan.

RememberThe3574104d ago

I'm with you. I don't get why people are pissed about this at all. It's cool for people who haven't played it, and if you don't like the game then don't buy it for an other system. Why does everyone now days need to be a victim? No one if forcing anyone to buy anything, people need to get over themselves.

TripC504105d ago

We will rule the world...with a game we allready released on PC.

Blackdeath_6634104d ago

yes but think beyond the fact the diablo is coming to ps3/4 its the action that matters the fact that sony has gotten blizzard on board to create console games whether its exclusively for playstation or for all platform (while blizzard did emphasise the partnership between them and sony there was no mention of exclusivity)and i think this is a very positive thing for consoles.

sticky doja4104d ago

Sony did not get Blizzard to create console games. Blizzard has had a working console version of Diablo 3 for months if not years, they have said it themselves on multiple occasions. I would put money on this not being exclusive either. Activision/Blizzard has no desire to alienate Microsoft who have been their bread and butter for years.

GrandTheftZamboni4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

Agreed with you. Even though it may be a lackluster showing an existing game, the fact that a PC developer is supporting a console PLUS the fact that the new PS4 architecture is X86 can mean a lot in the future. If PS4 eventually will be able to play existing PC games that could be HUGE.

MasterCornholio4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

Game developers who where the money is and if next gen consoles can provide them with an additional source of revenue they will go for it. But i dont understand why some PC gamers are offended by this its not like they are losing support from developers or anything.

jmc88884104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

No one should be offended when a developer makes a game on another platform. That's silly.

The thing to understand is, that as Blizzard showed nothing, they showed the EXACT same amount of actual PS4 footage that everyone else showed.

The only game that was on a PS4 devkit (and not final hardware) is Killzone, and it looked a bit unimpressive.

Thus an actual final spec PS4 (separate parts floating around in a cardboard box for all I care) is what's important.

All they would do is talk about 'comparable' to a PS4 power, and what they are 'targeting' a PS4 to do. Which means it's all still up in the air and what you saw IS NOT representative of the final product.

Tacklebait4105d ago

I was super excited to see blizzard at first, a few thoughts ran through my mind. Project Titan?? New ip?

and then.. it was Diablo... bah waste of time.

The new "partnership" is good tho, console only gamers have been missing out on some great games.

mamotte4104d ago

It wasnt the worst. At least it was a new announcement about an old game. -Square Enix, cough, cough-

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead8d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn30d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie30d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits31d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow31d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger30d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje30d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia31d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion30d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73030d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN30d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL30d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
