Blizzard to shoot Rednecks?
It seems Blizzard's fifth and unannouned title may very well be a redneck shooter. Redneck shooter, you say? Yes, it can't get any more Redneck than... Redneck Rampage!
Apparently, Blizzard has secured the rights to the 1997 game, Redneck Rampage, which was back then developed by Xatrix Entertainment and published by Interplay. Vivendi-Universal picked up the rights in 2004 and they're currently listed as "active" under the wing of Blizzard Entertainment.
To give you an idea of what to expect, here's what the original Redneck Rampage (feature Duke Nukem 3D engine) was all about:
Well, no matter how weird it may sound, the Senior Producer on Wrath of the Lich King, Burning Crusade and StarCraft Ghost used to be Lead Level Designer on Redneck Rampage so it could actually be true that Blizzard will go for the Redneck shooting game.

Join Leonard and Bubba for a romp through Possum Bayou in this abridged version of the game.
Leonard and Bubba gotta get back Bessie, their prize-winnin’ pig who’s been abducted by aliens in Redneck Rampage, a ruckus-raisin’ riot of a first person 3D shooter set in the fictional town of Hickston,Arkansas.
Armed with up to nine impractical and occasionally illegal weapons ranging from a crowbar to an alien arm gun (to pull the trigger, yankon the tendon), blast your way with the boys through country bars and trailer parks. The aliens have been busy conducting experiments, cloning local folks like Hickston’s resident drunkard, Billy Ray.
Now these ornery alien enemies lurk behind every outhouse and jukebox, scratching themselves and waitin’ to whoop yer butt. If you thought navigating through a melted-down Los Angeles or sneaking around ogres’ castles was tough, then just try your hand a-whompin’ and a-stompin’ the good ol’ boys at Stanky’s Bar & Grill. You’ll find there’s nothin’ more terrifyin’ than the deep chuckle of an inbredalien clone stalking you in the backwoods, with nobody to hear your teeth chattering but the fifty chickens milling around underfoot.
Yup, clearly sounds like Blizzard material, doesn't it?Leonard and Bubba gotta get back Bessie, their prize-winnin’ pig who’s been abducted by aliens in Redneck Rampage, a ruckus-raisin’ riot of a first person 3D shooter set in the fictional town of Hickston,Arkansas.

There aren't that many top studios working on "unannounced" projects at the moment. When Crytek, Infinity Ward or any other famous studio have an unannounced project they're working on, we report it as well.
It's called "news". An unknown devteam working on an unknown title is NOT "news".

sometimes it seems that the only game developer is blizzard...i dont see another rumour about a "possible" game that a studio COULD be working on this web site... but...yeah...its blizzard...let's suck their balls...=S
Theres also the fact that every game blizzard has made in the past 10 years has been a smash success and is probably still played to this day with a large following.
A good majority of other developers put out a high percentage of crap.
