    In all honesty, a decent gunplay-based MMO sounds genuinely interesting, and the Redneck Rampage license is an... interesting angle. Hell, it's not another fucking modern warfare-in-the-desert or WWII license, so that makes me happy.

    EDIT: Of course, it's not going to be a Redneck Rampage MMO. If it is, I will probably die laughing.

    Blizzard will charge you $15 for a month but you'll only need the EDGE!!

    It's scary to think that a sequel to Redneck Rampage might come out at all.

    there was also an expansion to the first one too

    Well expansions for those early FPS games was pretty much par for the course.

    I must have led a sheltered life to be completely oblivious to that game.

    And looking at the promo art shown above, I have to say there's nothing in it that would exactly make me keen to play it anyway.

    rides again was a sequel. the expansion was a different thing.

    there was also the family reuinion pack, which had the original, the expansion, and the sequel all in one incestuous box

    I would see this sentence as having weight if Blizzard made a big deal about acquisition, say like announcing it at Blizzcon.
    God, that would be surreal. Big reveal presentation, and it's... REDNECK RAMPAGE!

    I can't be the only one who pictured the "It's Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIDGE RACER!" thing when you said that.

    Okay, a couple points.

    1. This not a joke. I have links straight from the official US government website for the trademarks.
    2. Blizzard is working on five projects right now. WoW stuff, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, the next gen MMO and a fifth unannounced title. So while it IS possible that they're making World of Rednecks, it's more likely that they acquired the license for the fifth project (Or more likely IMO, some of the original Redneck team request they acquire the trademarks as a personal favor.)

    As far as I see, it's not really a joke. I'm sure it's not the MMO, but they did put down money for the license.

    Considering how SC2 and D3 look like the same old shit with new coats of paint slathered on, this resurrection could actually be a lot of fun. With all these fucking serious and dark shooters and RPGs flooding the market, a ridiculously absurd FPS could actually be a refreshing change of pace. Outside of a SC FPS, I can't think of anything better for Blizzard to put out. Maybe a Diablo game that isn't just D2 with a WoW reskin, but that ain't gonna happen.

    So... Blizzard is going to take a turd and polish it to a shine so bright people won't see the turd?

    Since Blizzard is known for the amount of polishing they do.

    The problem is that rednecks aren't funny anymore, if they ever were to begin with.

    GIT R DUN.


    what?

    They should just make the redneck an available class for dwarves in WOW.

    I think it's worth pointing out that ever since, say, Warcraft, Blizzard has done nothing BUT make the same old shit with new coats of paint. That's what they do. Some companies innovate, Blizzard refines. Warcraft II? Warcraft again, but AWESOME. Starcraft? Warcraft in space, but AWESOME. Diablo II? Diablo with a new coat of paint, but AWESOME. WoW? Every MMO combined into one easy to use package, but AWESOME.* And so on. People who want Blizzard to totally reverse course and stop ripping off Warhammer and Starship Troopers and instead make something totally new and exciting have to commit themselves to either acknowledging that at least so far, all the "same old shit with new coats of paint" stuff the've done so far is awesome or claim that Starcraft and Diablo II sucked.

    *actually sucks.
