BlizzCast #3 in Production

15th May 2008 09:33 PM GMT | Maticus | 2 comments

You may have been wondering if Blizzard decided to scrap the BlizzCasts they had been doing, as it's been 3 months since the last one, but never fear, Nethaera has jumped in and stated that there will be a 3rd BlizzCast.

She explained that the production had been held up due to "unforeseen delays", which may have been the build up to the Lich King Presentation last week and/or preparation for next month's World Wide Invitational. She also defends herself and others over accusations that BlizzCasts are a bit too scripted.

We can only speculate what BlizzCast #3 might contain, but hopefully there will be more news about Lich King and StarCraft II.

If you haven't heard the previous BlizzCasts, in which various members of Blizzard talk about different aspects of their games, you can check them out over at Blizzard's dedicated page.

Here's what Neth had to say about the whole BlizzCast issue:

A third one is in the works. We just had some unforeseen delays we had to work out. We definitely want to make these more regular releases, however, they depend heavily on getting many people and resources together.

I'm a part of the BlizzCast process (you can hear me in the second one). We have never stated this would be weekly, though we would like to be consistent on monthly releases. We've only released two BlizzCasts so far and we are still nailing down a process that works best for us. I personally listen to many podcasts and think they are great, but they definitely work within different constraints than we do.

We're doing what we can to get these out to you and hoping we can just keep improving with every release of it.

We don't mind constructive criticism. I'd like to think that we've already begun improving, and hope you'll hear it in the next BlizzCasts. ;) Keep in mind, this is something we haven't done before and I personally have never done podcasts. I'm used to working in text and in live free-flow sort of events. We're adjusting to the medium and only anticipate getting more comfortable with it as we do it more.

We have plenty of things to talk about and more things about the company we'd like to highlight for people, but these things also take a good amount of production time. We're working on that, however.

Feedback noted. ;)

Just admit you want to hear more of Bornakk's dulcet tones and get it over with.

About damn time. I was hoping these were going to come out more frequently.

Me too, but at least we had some new info last week with all the Lich King news. Next month we'll be flooded with more new stuff when WWI hits, so I wonder when this BlizzCast #3 will come out...
