Geez, I figure with the Funspot all posted, things would be nice and quiet.. right?
WRONG.
Then again, this is day one of PAX East, so... let's see.. what is there to talk about....
Blizzard announces a Warcraft digital Collectible Card Game:
It's called Hearthstone, and you can sign up for the beta now. Very interesting, it will be very interesting to see if Blizzard can extend their reach with one of their two big games (Diablo being the other). It's not a huge effort, from a team of 15 designers, but we'll see how they balance it.
You can see more here...
Ducktales, Wooooo-hooo..
If you're of a certain age, there are some Disney themes that stick in your head, even years, decades later. And that earworm won't be leaving any time soon as Capcom announced "Ducktales, Remastered" and offered a trailer that you can watch here.
They have a good sense of humor about the whole thing, too :)
D&D Arcade Collection has a release date
I previously mentioned that I couldn't wait for the D&D collection of arcade video games to hit the console.. well. I will but not as long as I thought I would, as it's been announced that the Mystara collection of video games would be released in June/
Diablo 3 possibly coming to next-gen Xbox as well?
Well, it's probably too early to even be hinting about it, but one of the big announcements in the PS4 reveal was that Diablo 3 was coming to the Playstation universe. Today's news that a Blizzard exec told the Penny Arcade report that they were only going to be talking about the PS3 version, not the rumored one for the PS4, and that.. "We don't have any announcements to make at this time... but we're not necessarily a Sony exclusive.
That sounds to me like saying "Hey, Microsoft, come pay us lots of money to blunt one of the big name reveals Sony has." D3 has a big enough audience that depending on exactly how much the ransom is, I'd be willing to pay it. See the full article at the Penny Arcade Report here.
Interesting times, my friends, interesting times.
