Chars are bit too cliche. And really, another shooter?

I know everyone likes to consider Activision and Blizzard different companys because reasons, but one more shooter wasn't what i was expecting from a Blizzard new IP.

I will keep an eye, it will really be about how it feels playing.

Blizzard has never done a shooter before, they *could* break some new ground.
It could also provide them with some experience to put towards their other IP's. (I still wan't my StarCraft Ghosts!)

Although Blizzard games aren't that innovative in their current releases they *did* set the standard for the MMO's, RTS and Hack and Slash Genre's, which is nothing to scoff at, one can only hope they will do the same thing for the FPS genre which is stale.



Also thread title is wrong.

Blizzard "announced Titan" at one point, so it has been less than 17 years since the last origional IP announcement.

Blizz and Activision are owned by the same parent company, called Actvision Blizzard. I don't know how far from the tree this apple is going to fall, but every year that goes by, the feeling that blizz and activision see the market by the same glasses increases.

That's why i said another, i'm counting CoD and Destiny on the same boat.
