Guest Fishboot Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/diablo-3/diab...shed-116290.php <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope someone well-versed in Blizzard North gossip can step in and give us a rundown. I've heard that Blizzard has been suffering from a wholesale talent exodus over VUG corporate interference (both from guys like Bill Roper forming their own dev houses and from people being headhunted by other publishers).

Reveilled Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hrm. I never liked Diablo 2 as much as Diablo 1. What annoyed me most about 2 was the fact that you couldn't go into the Church in Tristram That sucked. I hope they don't go an just make the game more complex. What I liked about Diablo is that I could just walk around and click on sprites for a few mindless hours. Having to put thought into what I did in Diablo II sort of ruined the game for me. Nevertheless, I'll probably still buy it, but I doubt anything will ever match the sheer brainless fun of Diablo. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angshuman Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Guild Wars was started by some of the original Blizzard crew who left the shop. Blizzard North's lead guys (I don't recall their names) left and formed Flagship Studios, and have been working on Hellgate: London. And yes, a bunch of others formed ArenaNet and gave us Guild Wars. A few months back, Blizzard had picked up the few remaining employees at North and relocated them somewhere else. These guys are believed to have been working on Diablo III. A couple of days back, Blizzard North was officially closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 To heck with Diablo 3 (though I did enjoy D2) I want Starcraft 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm going to agree with darque. I was a fan of Diablo but 2 just became a Lootfest later on. Didn't two of the guy's that helped form Blizzard and make Starcraft and Diablo end up going away and making Goblin Commander? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Guest MacleodCorp Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Dablo I was really cool. Dialbo II was way too long. By the time you finish the game, a whole year goes by. Thank god I didn't play the game straight through. If they make a Diablo III, I hope it is complex, and have some interactive storytelling like KotOR I.

Guest MacleodCorp Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeah! When you play Diablo I and II, you don't have a choice but to go through all the dialogue. Dungeon Siege 2!?!?! What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see that Stargate: Alliance was pulled from its developer for the same reason. Is this a new trend in games publishing - from now on, games are going to be released that are good quality, QA tested, and finished? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

The story in Civilization or Zelda isn't very developed either. It's not like Diablo is an RPG, after all, so a detailed story isn't really necessary. Diablo doesn't require any more story than "The world is doomed unless you kill all the baddies." A story in Diablo would be fluff, not substance. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

EnderAndrew Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Feargus has come on these forums to defend Diablo being an RPG. Sadly, while I don't care for click-fests, I'd agree with him. It has stat-based gameplay and a narrative structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
