Rts
Which genres of games just grab hold of your attention?
This one's a pretty wide potential discussion since the term genre means a lot of different things when referring to games, because games contain so many other elements.
Games don’t have to end. Do you have a favorite “forever” game?
A forever game is one in where players make tangible progress, find new experiences, and face new challenges all without ever actually finishing the game.
A StarCraft MMO? A Diablo RTS? What Blizzard franchises would you like to see in other genres?
Would you play a Diablo-themed RTS, with big armies of demons attacking various settlements around the globe and hero units like Nephalem, Angels, Demons, and so on?
Stormgate is a new free-to-play RTS from ex-Blizzard devs at Frost Giant Studios
Back in 2020, Frost Giant Studios was founded by a host of ex-Blizzard developers who had worked on the studio's RTS franchises, shipping titles like Warcraft 3 and StarCraft 2.
The RTS genre doesn’t need a renaissance so much as it needs a revolution
I've been hearing about the return of real time strategy games for years and years now.
What would your ideal Warcraft 4 look like?
Since 2004, the Warcraft franchise has been fairly centered around the MMO genre. World of Warcraft and its offshoot, World of Warcraft Classic, have been the main focus for the series.
What would you want in a new real-time strategy game from Blizzard?
It's been a long time since Blizzard has gone swimming in the real-time strategy pool.
Frost Giant claims they will make the next great RTS, and they just might do it
I admit, I'm surprised I was surprised by the news that another group of ex-Blizzard employees are banding together to try to make some great games.
What kind of game would you make with the Diablo IP?
It's no secret that Diablo Immortal didn't get an enthused reception from the crowd at BlizzCon last year -- while you'd think that more Diablo is always a good thing, players have a lot of negative opinions about mobile games.
If you were given complete creative control of a Blizzard property, which would it be, and what would you do?
Seriously, if I had a genie ready to give me three wishes, the first two would be for perfect health and immortality for myself and my wife, and likely vast wealth or superpowers (depending on if the genie would grant superpowers -- I have a whole wish thing mapped out just in case).
