It is preety obvious it will be wc3 updated for battle.net.
I mean we found some assets for this game on the bnet launcher several months ago.

I don't think there are any RTS left that have a remarkable competitive scene. MOBAs don't use lockstep sync though, except HeroTS where it is annoying.
10 units + a couple dozen creeps for which accuracy doesn't matter that much versus hundreds or thousands of units is a huge difference though. I agree it's a bad match for a MOBA game.

Online only RTS that's been slowed down to allow for future console release. Features unlocks for Hearthstone and whatever Bliz's moba is called these days. Released in 3 parts across 2 years. Persistent hero progression. Ladder support. Achievements and unlocks that'll keep you busy for years. Skin support via a cash shop. Easter eggs featuring every other Blizzard franchise. No new race. Incorporates WoW lore and ties into whichever WoW Xpac is following it.

Planetary Annihilation doesn't use lockstep apparently upon quick googling.

That's interesting..
Oh man, I know that the odds of Warcraft 4 being announced are next to nil, at least in the next lil while mostly due to the main RTS team just finishing up with Legacy, but damn would it be sick. That Warcraft 3 update or b.net version sounds pretty likely. Either way, just keep the RTS's coming Blizzard.
Well after From Software been working on EVERY GAME AT TH SAME TIME AND PROBABLY LIKE 2 MORE RIGHT NOW THAT HAVEN'T BEEN ANNOUNCED it wouldn't surprise me if the RTS team has been working on some foundations for the next thing while the Legacy of The Void development nears its end
Im sure its a Warcraft III remake. They even released updated W3 assets a while ago:

Today Li Riqiang posted another update, shooting down the Warcraft 4 rumor. Now it seems that the new game is Warcraft 3 HD Remake.

So it's going to be updated version of Warcraft 3
that probably won't support mods anymore
No suprised at all. I am sure WC4 will come, but in 5 years earliest.

After SCII and DIII, I'm not sure if I'll like WCIV.
A WCIII remake sounds good though.

I guess its more like a patch with widescreen support and battle.net client integration.

A warcraft remake with better graphics and a better match making system is all I ever want out of blizzard. Get rid of that absolutely pathetic ranking system near the end of its lifetime where all you had to do was play mass games and you'd reach level 50.
I remember when shitters couldn't even get past level 20, and getting to level 25+ meant you were pretty godlike at the game. Update some graphics, make some balance changes so humans aren't literally the most goddamn boring race to play and it's golden.
but modern blizzard will fall flat on its face.

it's great. Do you really trust modern blizzard to make a sequel that isn't an absolute disgrace? I just hope they don't try to change too much with the base game.

I'm not sure we're ever getting a Warcraft 4. They said something about adding a story mode to Heroes of The Storm and, unless they spin a stupid narrative fitting the setting, I could see them using the assets they build for Warcraft and Starcraft stories going forward.
A la the adventures for Hearthstone
they patched WC3 for widescreen full hd support

WC3 with widescreen and proper framerates would be nice.
Edit: They patched it? Huh, when? I tried it a year or two ago and it was still the same old WC3.

Warcraft Triology Remakes using the SC2 engine! (Yeah yeah, it's not that they have another modern RTS engine ready)
After WoW ... i doubt that Warcraft has any story left, that hasn't been abused by the MMO.
A possible Warcraft 4 is either something new, new world, new chars, new story ... or a real ly ugly abomination of story forced into the wasteland leftovers that is Warcraft...

At least if it's not WC4, then they won't muck up the storytelling/lore/characters even more. SC2's story is a disaster.
What?! Please elaborate.

People need to come to terms that World of Warcraft isn't just Warcraft 4. It's also Warcraft 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

They released a patch you can download from their website that adds widescreen support to the game.

Warcraft 4 plz
D3 RoS is a great game and I enjoyed both SC2 campaigns and I'm looking forward to LotV, especially as a Protoss player.
They've certainly lost their way in a lot of aspects but they can still design great games.

remake is a waste of time for wc3.its perfectly fine right now as it is.get wc1 and 2 on the store and that will be good.

WC3 has been completely overrun with bots because of the archaic hosting system. I still don't know how the hell you enable hosting.
Serious question: what do you think Blizzard's next Warcraft related game will be? WoW 2? A game in a totally different genre?
I can completely imagine them abandoning the RTS portion of the franchise (Starcraft AND Warcraft is simply too much RTS for this marketplace from a single company), but I cannot imagine them letting the Warcraft universe they have going on just sort of dwindle away. New Warcraft related stuff will be coming.

Warcraft 4 could start from somewhere in the middle of WoW. I think that would be okay. I also wouldn't mind seeing WC3 re-release. I'm not the biggest warcraft fan but I liked WC3 and I love hearthstone. I played WoW for a few years and like 2-3 expansions as well. So good news for 2020 when the game is actually released (assuming the news is true).
