Blizzard Denies Xbox 720 rumors

Gamespot: As the 2009 Game Developers Conference heated up last week, so too did the game-industry rumor mill. The spark was a report on GamesIndustry.biz bearing the seemingly unequivocal headline "Blizzard in talks with Microsoft for next Xbox."

The title alone stirred up a frenzy, given that Blizzard Entertainment'

Of course there is a 720.The 360 is a sinking ship and Microsohaft needs to get a new ship for peddling their worthless flops.

Even if Halo 3.5 gets the 60 it deserves on Metacritic,the xbots will buy it anyway.

Lord Shuhei Yoshida5542d ago

Nevermind.The Halo franchise deserves a 40 on Metacritic.I apologize if I was too generous with the 60.

I never played WoW. If it launches on the next xbox...yes I will get it.

pswi605542d ago

what? even older PC's run WoW fairly well...

so you are saying that if the 720 comes out with an MSRP of $600 you will then and only then play WoW?

wow....

from the article:

"The official story: When contacted by GameSpot, Blizzard reps shot down the GI.biz story outright, saying the outlet had not even followed up with any inquiries attempting to clarify Pardo's remarks.

"In the Lunch with Luminaries discussion, Rob said that Microsoft occasionally bounces ideas off of us, with no specific reference to any possible future consoles," said the rep. "This should come as no surprise, as our games run on Microsoft's PC operating system. We aren't in discussions with Microsoft regarding any future consoles." (Emphasis added.)"

Typical gaming journalism creating fake rumors for hits, and then blame someone else for the hype surrounding the original rumor.

Montrealien5542d ago

pswi60, maybe he would like to play on his couch? Seems like you got a little worked up for one simple remark and made sure we all knew that MS was not in talks with blizzard.

I have a question for you. Would you like it if Blizzard said they will release an mmo on the next Xbox at launch?

Daver5542d ago

dont care about mmo especially world of warcraft.. just release diablo 3 and starcraft 2

ASSASSYN 36o5541d ago

Wow somone gots some issues. I am flattered my little comment generated that overly, pointless, and unprovoked response. Calm down high-speed it's all good. And montrealien you are exactly right. On my couch and on my 42".

indysurfn5541d ago

And I think we arr not the only ones. What is with the response from the fantoy? Didn't PS3 launch without a killer app for $600, and have people paying up to 10,000 for it and bragging about it? This would be the best killer app ever! Now that fantoy assumes xbox720 will launch for $600(where did he get that from) and it is a bad deal with the biggest game ever? Hello! Hypocrisy is over the top!

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle6d ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.

shinoff21835d ago

Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
