You ever been so pissed off, utterly saddened that you were just left completely speechless?

World in Conflict wasn't a proper strategy game. So I don't care really, besides Ubisoft have published some good games in the past.
I edited the thread title to be more descriptive than "sigh" which is a far too subjective and non descriptive title.

Wow, thanks for the year-old news! This story is from November 2008.
Correcting people since 2007 even if they're not wrong.

Wasn't the World in Conflict franchise supposed to come to consoles anyway? I guess now it's safe to say we will see World in Conflict 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 with consoles as the primary focus and PC will have a 6 months delayed release for optimization and inclusion of such RTS revolutionary features as mouse control.

Ohh, look how clever you are. The console versions of WiC were cancelled.

Yeah, because Massive promised that they'd never do anything but RTSes.

Yes, but I'm sure Ubisoft Massive will rethink their decision. |

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-06-ubisofts-working-on-an-aaa-next-gen-online-rpg
| Quote: | I bet publishers love LinkedIn. This time an employee of Ubisoft Massive in Sweden - key studio involved in making Far Cry 3 - has blabbed about working on an "AAA Next-Gen Online RPG" (spotted by PlayStation Lifestyle).
Next-gen was a phrase bandied about for years to describe current gen projects because it made them sound a bit flashier. But now we're so close to next-gen machinery what else can he mean? He also lists the project as starting in October 2012 and its contents as "top secret", which all tallies with an actual next-gen project.
Massive Entertainment lists the same project on its website, albeit without the "next-gen" bit. There the project is known as "Online RPG", according to a lead level designer job vacancy.
"Massive is looking for an experienced Lead Level Designer to join an international team working on a AAA Online RPG," the post advertises. "In this position you will lead a Level Design team in building the best gameplay experiences ever conceived. For any game. Ever."
Experience making third-person action games is asked for but no specific MMO experience is required. "Experience working on an online multiplayer, co-operative or open-world game project" is a bonus. Sounds like this Online RPG is less an MMO and more of an evolution of Assassin's Creed multiplayer or something like that.
There's no mention of platforms. |
Let me repeat that in case you missed it;
Best gameplay experiences ever conceived. For any game. Ever.
So Assassin's Creed: Online it is. 
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

World in Conflict + Soviet Assault were the best RTS games.

You forgot about the original Ground Control series and Ground Control.
Massive came up with a large number of innovations that were used in many RTS later.

They seem so adamant about it, but it never seem like any of the games become very popular. At least not for very long.

Even the social gaming/casual bubble broke in the end. The big companies just discovering those types late in the game.
The new bubble is mobile gaming (for high-end mobile-phones, not for the junk phones). The funny thing, the PC SP gaming survives and provides opportunities for small companies to occupy the niche markets left unattended by the big companies.
Some MMO are there to stay, others are coming and closing in a matter of a year or two.

No, I keep giving them chances 
Last one was Far Cry 3, shame that unlike Rinseandrepeat Creed 20XX the remains of a good game seem to be hiding in that one
