Diablo 3

[deepak]

I know it was announced a while ago. But today they released some more news at Blizzard Invitational.

Gameplay video and a cinematic trailer. Both available as a Bit Torrent download at their website.

I wish Fallout 3 stayed isometric

[jinp6301]

YES, diablo is my favorite blizzard game (dont stone me) and the new one looks great!

Yesterday, they had a teaser up on their site. They had a frozen iceblock with some HEL rune markings in it, etc and once I saw it I was like OMG! And today they released it! I watched all the trailers and I can't wait. I anticipate this game more than SC2.

i was obsessed with Diablo, in high school, but i can't go back and play it because it feels so primitive compared to Diablo 2. i've gone through Diablo 2 so many times that the idea of playing it again makes me ill

i dunno. I think I like Diablo 1 better then Diablo 2 in terms of everything except gameplay.

But Diablo 2 = <3

I am so hyped up about Diablo 3. The gameplay looks to stay true to the series with a couple of new aspects (ie. destroying the surroundings). I'm tempted to go find my D2 discs now and give it a whirl again.

o rly?

oh sh-t i mean they released the information that they were working on it

. Okay, I'm hyped for Diablo 3. As Reks mentioned I used to play Diablo a bunch and D2 as well. This is going to be insane. From experience, whenever Blizzard releases a game, though there are many delays, it is a great product in the end. I really can't wait.

I agree. I don't think Blizzard has released a bad product ever.

I agree. I don't think Blizzard has released a bad product ever.

I think Blizzard's motto should be "Great Games, Dragging Delays!"

I'm not sure when this is comming out but I'm sure it is probably going to be around 2013.

O.M.F.G.

I never did any real computer gaming back in high school, so I never really tried Diablo, except for about 5 minutes at someone's house. This looks pretty sweet though. I was impressed with the soundtrack to the trailer. It actually sounded pretty vivid and lush. Not bad for a videogame:p

[humanflyz]

Just finished watching the trailer. two words: holy shit.

[jinp6301]

I like how the atmosphere is more like D1 then D2.

I noticed that too. D1 was dark.

The cinematic trailer gave a distinctive LotR feel in a few places. The city with the waterfall in the background (Caldeum?) looked breathtaking.

Also another amazing isometric RPG Westwood Studio's Nox.

[humanflyz]

Yup, I played Nox back in the days: it was a really fun co-op game.

[mirumu]

i just watched the gameplay video. i want diablo 3 now!

That's exactly how I felt after watching that video too. After much of Blizzard North bailed from the company I didn't think Blizzard had the ability or drive to make a proper Diablo 3, but that video alone made me throw those thoughts out the window.

[riceboy]

I think Blizzard's motto should be "Great Games, Dragging Delays!"

Yeah it should be called that. I'm glad they strive to have a great end product, but it's like waiting for a new toy that keeps getting delayed.

Haha after watching the gameplay trailer three times (showed it to some friends,) I must say I really enjoy the narrating.

"I'm sure this chest is filled with treasure, not some kind of insidious trap!" *clicks on the chest and triggers 4 traps*

"I'm sure they'll (the guards) will lead a healthy and long life as your sidekick. Nothing bad is going to happen to them!"

and the occsional "MASSIVE DAMAGE" that is probably referencing that Sony press conference at E3 about some crab dealing "massive damage."

[aardvark baguette]

what is up w/ that signature, nenso?

[laxx]

Damn, so HC is all about Diablo. =T Was hoping for some SCII fun.

ha, i thought it was crappy narrating but to each his own

yet another game I never played the original of.

I think SCII looks a bit better, as far as character design. Diablo probably has a more involved story though, i dunno.

Theres a crap load of SCII youtube clips. Looks fun.

As far as modern RTS go, SCII looks ok. The new C&C and Company of Heroes look amazing for current generation games.

No Blizzard game ever looks stunning since they aim for it to run on a variety of computers.
