Just curious what the forum posters think about Blizzards hinted at game of TITAN. Will it be another Fantasy game likle WOW or a Sci-fi game. Personally I doubt they would launch another Fantasy game in competition with WOW unless there was some sort of cross business deal (2for1 or reduced price for both etc,,,). What do you folks think?

I heard I was going to be steampunk inspired game
knowing Activi$ion:
+ steampunk
+ DLC monthly fee plus itemshop
+ facebook bound
+ battlenet bound
+ easiest game ever made
so I think its something like HKO with slightly bettter graphics.
We need a MMORPG Cataclysm asap, finish the dark age of MMORPGS now!
"Everything you're bitching about is wrong. People don't have the time to invest in corpse runs, impossible zones, or long winded quests. Sometimes, they just want to pop on and play."
"Then maybe MMORPGs aren't for you."
I dont think it's gonna be a fantasy game but I can't speculate more, just that I will probably dont touch it with a 10 feet long stick becouse most of the wow crowd will probably jump there.
Morhaime said something about Sci-fi MMOFPS so it isn't fantasy or historical (otherwise it could have been based on Greek mythology).
Steam punk is an option, but then we are talking more "Space 1899" and "Doctor Who" than "Crimson skies" and "Ravenloft". Cyberpunk, space opera, Doom styled MMOFPS or space ship alá Eve is also possibilities.
Or even something dimentional like R.I.F.F.T.S or T.O.R.G.
Innovation is over rated. I could care less if it plays like a traditional MMO as long as it is polished and fun. However, i am 100% sure that it is a sci-fi title.
MMOFPS whats that? FPS games do already have online modes and such stuff. Maybe its World of Call of Duty?
no matter what it is I for sure wont touch it, cause Im sure it will be some real crap with the worst community ever.

Supposedly a new Scy Fy mmo different from anything Blizzard have done before. I think the suits that run Blizzard initally hoped that WoW expansions and Titan could co-exist, but now they seem to believe that Diablo 3 and then Titan will canabalise their WoW player base. Factor into that the fact that SW:TOR and GW2 will take a slice out of the WoW player base since they are looking polished mmo products then we have the possibility that Blizzard will try to make Titan more of a hybrid game than initally planned, something to please everyone...with RPG elements and Scy Fy mmofps elements.
Meh.
The way Blizz has been acting of late really keeps me from caring about Titan too much.
Sci-Fi MMOFPSish
My theme song.
im expecting Titan will a similar theme that Wildstar already announced
something scifi like cowboy bebop but with fantasy thrown in
EQ2 fan sites
My guess is sci fi but if is FPS I will avoid it. I see life in FP I prefer my games in 3rd.
it's gonna be a sciantasy.....definately a sciantasy.
In my own mind, I believe it is a Sci-fi MMO. I'm not sure why.
Lol noSee this is why people get confused about what is and isnt a MMO. A MMO is a game that has a persistent area of the main gameplay can be done. In other words, a mmorpg has to have a persistent area for combat to be able to take place in.
A mmorpg and a mmofps share this same rule, but the thing about a mmofps is the point of view of the combat. Which has to have fps aiming
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
maybee they will pull a cryptic on us and rebadge the unfinished "The Agency"
What type of game will it be, ahh haa, haha, thats a good question. I wanted starcraft online only in traditional mmo style not rts.
I cant really even guesstimate with blizzard, who the hell knows. They got enough money to keep even the most hardcore mmo conspiracy theorist at bay.
Activation will be targeting the console FPS crowd.
MMOFPS is possible, but highly doubt it will happen. It will be hard to create a twitch-based MMOFPS since everyone have to be nearly zero latency. If they are doing MMOFPS, I believe they will do a hybird or charge-based combat since they want nearly everyone in the world to play the game to max the profit.
I would say SciFi, really hope for SciFi because the mmo market is oversaturated with fantasy. I really hope for steampunk game.
i heard somewhere that activision own halo franchise now?
or buy somethng related with Halo.anyway that just rumor i guess but i know i hear something about ihat somewhere.. dont remember
sorry iam maybe totaly wrong :P dont hate me .. lol
anywayy my guess Halo universe pew pew sci-fi and fantasy both in 1 game would be awesome,
~The only opinion that matters is your own.Everything else is just advice,~
I heard its going along the lines of Hello Kitty, should be fun, there will be baking skills, housecleaning, dishes.
You roam around avoiding dogs, annoy your owner, rub up against them, then scratch them and run.
Going to be epic.
With a name like Titan one thing comes to mind, MECHS!!! I can dream can't I? Didn't Piranha games just do a game with activision?
(which also happens to be mechish, Transformers) Piranha is also in the works of making a new mechwarrior game......please come true. MMO + Mechs, my two loves 
Microsoft Studios own the rights to all Halo franchise. So Microsoft Studios is still in control of Halo. Activision brought Bungie after Bungie went solo from Microsoft. So basically Microsoft is in control of the game.

lol who cares... we must wait until it reaches beta to have a real idea. we shall see
played:WoW and Eve off and on 5 years
Tried:CoH/V, PoTBS, War, TR, STO, FE
TOR is likely to rock
odd though, because you sound like you would fit right in!
Maybe it's really that Star Craft MMO many have been waiting for... Way to kill WH40K out the gate.
