What has blizzcon revealed??

Blizzcon is now behind us and revealed to us very interesting stuff to look forward to. Here's a summary of reveals from blizzcon 2010.


Diablo 3 announcements


Final class Reveal for Diablo 3, The Demon Hunter  

Great addition to the class lineup but we all knew a ranged type will come along because that's really the only thing missing. The class looks great, her abilities looks cool, and i don't know if it's just me but isn't double crossbows awesome? if you missed the post of showing off the Demon Hunter click here.

First look at Diablo 3 PvP Arena

They've also revealed how PvP will work in Diablo 3, they've showed 2v2 and 3v3 matches in a arena-like arena. Here's a trailer for PvP arenas.





Excited?? same here, and sadly we didn't get a release date. Diablo 3 will be in closed beta soon for friends and family in Blizzard. Hopefully open beta is close so we can get a taste of what Diablo 3 can offer.

Starcraft 2 announcements


Heart of the Swarm not coming out any time soon


Thought so, blizzard announced that it will be a long time before they release the first expansion for Starcraft 2. It was a long shot but makes sense, it was just released last July. From the looks of things there will be tons of patches before we see any reveal of the expansion. No biggie, were still crazy in reaching that Diamond League.

Blizzard mods for Starcraft 2


Blizzard revealed four official mods for use to play around with friends and will be released for free in a few months. Mods games will be Starjeweled, Auir Chef, Left 2 Die and their very own Dota version of DotA.

Starjeweled

Its a mix of Real Time Strategy and bejeweled, and your goal is to destroy your enemies base but with a twist. The screen will be divided into 2, one side being where all the action happens while the other screen is a puzzle grid similar to bejeweled. Theres a series of icons that if paired with a minimum of 3 of the icon will give you minerals to build units to take down your enemy. As it sounds weird it has a good concept and might actually be fun. Not only will you get minerals, there are icons below the Puzzle grid giving you access on special units if you have enough minerals.

Auir Chef

This one is just the devs playing around i think. Your a Protoss Cook who is trying to earn the title of Auir Chef against 7 other Protoss Cook also aiming for the title.  It's all about cooking a dish with a special themed ingredient. The game is divided into 3 rounds. When your given the Themed ingredient you go around against the other cooks to find your ingredients for your dish. You will have an array of attack for enemies and when you finish your dish, not only do you get points to be added in your overall score you get abilities that will give you an edge against your enemies.

Left 2 Die

This is pretty much the Outbreak level in the original Starcraft 2 Campaign but a lot harder. This is a 2 player co op game and your goal is to survive waves after waves of zerg and infested units. Just like the Outbreak level, there will be a day and night cycle. Day being the time to set up and night when the attacks come. They say its very challenging and you will be at the edge of your seats with a pal surviving the onslaught. During the day your opt to go outside to explore the map giving you access to minerals and upgrades to help you survive longer. They say this is the hardest among the four mods.

Blizzard DotA

This is pretty much their own version of the famous DotA mod way back in warcraft III. it's pretty much the same. It's a five on five match with each player controlling one hero that have various skills to use. So far there are 12 playable heroes to choose from. You level up, get money from enemy units, and buy items to get your hero an edge in battle. The mod is very similar to the original DotA which is a good thing.

World of Warcraft : Cataclysm announcements


Nothing big revealed for Cataclysm at blizzcon. It's either a day before or during blizzcon that they revealed the Cinematic Trailer for Cataclysm, seeing Deathwing rise from deepholm ready to take on azeroth again.. game is coming out on dec 7, 2010 and in Blizzcon they pretty much showed the payable instances in cataclysm and made people in blizzcon have a task on what Cataclsym has to offer. Because of Deathwing's return, Azeroth got a huge revamp. Most areas are now changed because of the influence of Deathwing and here's a small clip showing the changes in the areas. It's old news but i think its a great change and the they look good.

Blizzcon 2010 on Oct 22 - 23

Why is this important?? well every gamer knows blizzard so far brings out great games and they haven't slowed down since the release of their very first title, and blizzcon will give us a big announcement to what their gonna do next. What could they announce?? well here's a few things that could happen from blizzcon this year:

Diablo III 5th class reveal and/or possible release date

Everybody wants this game, don't deny it, having a release date reveal for this game has a slim chance of happening but you can't help but hope. Revealing more gameplay footage and revealing their last class has a better chance of showing up but honestly i'd take any news about this game.

StarCraft 2: Heart of the swarm(first expansion) 

As you guys already know, Starcraft 2 will have 2 expansions. first being Heart of Swarm were we get to play the Zerg campaign, Legacy of the Void to play the Protoss campaign. Now i'm hoping they reveal something about the first expansion and how they will make the Zerg campaign work, the Terran campaign in Wings of Liberty was great with the unit upgrades and you being about to explore the ship and choose your missions, will the Zerg campaign be similar or are they going another route to show us the Zerg campaign??


Unannounced new game for blizzard

Yes their getting out of their shell and making something new hoping this title can be as successful as their last franchises. No solid news yet on what this is, a MMO?, First Person Shooter?, RPG?, a racing game?? who knows, let's hope it isn't a racing game though. But i won't be surprised if they make another World of Warcraft-ish game though since they make so much money out of it. If it's a fresh new game that i can enjoy for X number of years just like the rest then i'm sold. They announced last year that they were creating a new title, no other news after that.

More information for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm 

Another expansion for this massive online game, but hey the changes so far seem worth the buy. an overhaul of the old continents, a change in stats, 2 new races, more instances to spend the whole night conquering, and a lot more. Lets face it, World of Warcraft is getting old, and this expansion with it's huge changes is what the game needs to keep it on top.World of Warcraft : cataclysm will be released on Dec 7, 2010

One of these announcements might show up, maybe not but one thing is for sure, expect a big announcement from blizzard because they like to skip events like E3 and other gaming events and use their own events to reveal big stuff for their games.
