Blizzard have never delayed a game so with that in mind it’s unlikely they’re going to do it, even though they should. I have seriously no idea what they have been doing for a year.
Yeah, what have they been working on for the last year? It sure as hell aint bringing us the promised game, all models were made by lemonsky, the animations on alot of the units look like they were made by an intern so.
If this is the work tempo at blizzard its no wonder they never announce release dates.
But the classic team should really give feedback to these issues or release a public statement because this behaviour is just simply criminal and misleading. Companies should receive serious fines for pulling crap like this.
I’ve read that the law states they must deliver a product within one year of the pre-purchase. The beta counts, as long as all those who pre-purchased have access. Though I have never bothered to check if that was true.
They did delay it and guess what they are not remaking the campaign, why? Because it is too expensive. This was a bigger project then they thought. Which is hilarious, because even i in my 0 knowledge of game designing knew remastering this game would be a massive undertaking.
IF they have spare resources i would rather see co-op and then if they still have spare resources then screw it add to the campaign.
they have not published the release date, even though they allowed pre-orders, just like square-enix did with kingdom hearts 3. both companies set a placeholder reading december 31.
Then they shouldn’t have been that ambitious in the first place. It’s one thing to cut a feature here and there due to time constraints. It’s another to give us an idea of what the game is going to be and then change that vision entirely.
My best guess is that the higher ups really did believe it would be a quick and easy buck and they got the marketing together before talking to the actual developers.
TBH I think people also misunderstood what the changes were going to be. The only thing we know for sure is that Blizzard had planned to add a few more lines of dialogs, and re-record the dialogs with WoW actors. People who expected a brand new campaign with lots of WoW lore were always going to be disppointed.
Well, no, it was going to be the same campaign as it’s the same story. It is just enhanced with the continuity that was established after like ROTLK. What I expected were the proper voice lines and characters that were depicted as being there in canon i.e Anasterian.
