Still want a proper Mechwarrior game.

When the flaming fuck is Blizzard going to make Warcraft 4?

They made one. It's called "World of Warcraft"

Seriously, why would they work on something else when they're still making expansions for and money off of this?

If you ever read in the news that someone broke into the Blizzard HQ and started punching people, and I disappear mysteriously from the forums, you'll know why.

Godspeed, mastahcheese o7

If this isn't snowblind, I don't know what is...  ^___^

Warlords of Draenor has some very RTS-ish bits to it, apparently...  so you may actually be getting your wish, in a sense.

And if there's a multiple homicide and they never catch the guy, it was me.

It wouldn't be the same as getting an RTS with that sweet, sweet map editor that Wc3 had.  That's probably the biggest thing I miss the most about Wc3, the plethora of custom maps.  Get trapped in a never-ending cycle of Vampirism that lasted for days.

yep.  but i think activision owns the rights and they can't do anything right.

I want to get back into making custom WC3 maps, but I lost my discs.

I still want a game where you just play as a regular ole imperial guardsman with increasingly awesome war gear. Even better, make it a universal game where you can play any type of person in the imperium! inquisitor, imperial guard colonel, adepts arbutus, etc. etc. the possibilities are endless!!!!

[Scoops Novel]

A game where you play as gandalf, bronn, hagrid, dumbledore- take your pick, but you have to find and shepherd the chosen one. Excellent way to take the piss out of the usual crappy storyline as well. I understand oblivion did something like that but i bet it didn't go balls to the walls with it. Could be great for single player or Co-op.

A game that's like Spore except more detailed. You can go to space while still in Civilization stage and your home star system has a 6-14 planets in it. There are also more industry options than spice, would you prefer farming or mining? In the Space Stage you can switch between Flagship mode, which is almost exactly like Spore's Space stage but with actual planetary exploration, and Empire mode, where you manage the empire in a way similar to traditional 4X games.

[Graknorke]

A game where the game lies to you about its mechanics in the tutorial. Not necessarily an outright lie or leaving out key features, but being... misleading but setting up the tutorials in such a way as you wouldn't notice (for example, making it look like a button triggers a door when it's actually something completely unrelated and the button does nothing). Then throughout the course of the game you have to discern what you're being told is truthful and what you need to test for yourself before trusting it.
You'd want a game where failing is actually important rather than just a retry, but actually allow people to iterate on the same problems to some degree. Roguelikes tend to have those tendencies so that'd be a good choice.

Ooh. Reminds me of Portal, a little bit. In the lying bit, that is.
Except, well, she doesn't lie about your actual game mechanics; the button DOES open the door. What she DOES lie about is much, much more... insidious.

[Ultimuh]

Really wish someone would make a remake of Sim Earth. Maybe under a different name and slightly different interface, to prevent eventual lawsuits or something.
Could be a fangame for all I care, like FreeCiv or something.

You know, I think the main problem of Spore was that it was trying to do too many things at once, so it's wide but ankle-deep in terms of possibilities.

The way I'd go about making Spore 2 would be to serialize it, sorta like Paradox games did with human history - different stages done as separate games with separate mechanics with imports between the episodes.

Star Wars: Starfighter, but if it was more of a simulation than an arcade-type shooter.
