LostStraw Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I'd play that before Diablo 3. Also, one would think that as Blizzard already has more money than God, they could actually use their time to release something new instead of another bleeding sequel. If Blizzard was an independant company you'd be right about them having more money than God. Blizzard makes $120 million dollars in gross revenue each month from WoW alone. The idea of my post was that it's not Blizzards money -- rather it goes into their parent companie's coffers. If I'm wrong and they do keep the money please let me know As far as I know Vivendi Games wants Blizzard to remain a cash cow, which means exploiting their current IPs. After all, they have to make up for the flops Sierra puts out Edited June 28, 2008 by LostStraw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Lord Jones Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 damn ... have to start saving for a new computer. the game is looking sweet. I didn't get into D2, but what the heck I'll still get D3 and try it. Some of those fights in the game trailer look like ball busters ... I wonder how hard single player will be as the last fight was shown in co-op and looked like they had a hell of a time (no pun intended). click fest 2009? can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I played through Diablo once a very long time ago.. Bought Diablo 2 from a dorm mate, but never managed to get into it (I think I found Gothic at around the same time and going from Gothic to Diablo 2.. er..). But I watched the gameplay video of Diablo 3 and it looked.. interesting. So now I've installed Diablo 2 and am currently trying to play through it. Not as bad as I remember it to be.

I would suggest multiplayer as it is much more fun than singleplayer and what the game was made for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoM_Solaufein Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Good news indeed. As long as they use what was successful in the first two games, game play, classes, etc, this should be something worth the wait.

kirottu Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 There will be a hardcore mode. Confirmed where? I'm not seeing this anywhere. I mean, I certainly hope there is. But I can't find any info on HC. HC is a must. Nothing says sweaty balls like hardcore mode in Diablo. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Humm... I guess this is good news - although I do hope they don't turn it into some "World of Diablo." "Geez.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 They said it was going to be mostly Co-Op with some good PvP on Battle.net. Don't worry, this is still Diablo.

Monte Carlo Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I take back everything I said - it looks terrific, the concept art is excellent and the graphics seem to capture the spirit of the original completely. I look forward to it tremendously. Cheers MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 it's the class guessing game! 5 classes: Barbarian Witch doctor _______ _______ _______ my guesses for the other three? Rogue Sorcerer Necromancer Rogue would be like the assasin but a few ranged abilities Sorc I really don't need to explain do I? and a Pet class. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) ^ From the concept art I think one of the classes might be Assassin, as per the Expansion Pack class. Edited June 29, 2008 by Monte Carlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Blizzard is today talking about how they're making Diablo III more interactive. Namely, dialogue is no longer about monologues, but personalised character-driven story. I.e. it seems there will be dialogue trees. They want to make the role-playing part of the game as strong as possible whilst maintaining the 'opt-out' ability of Diablo's quests and dialogue. I think that's the best anybody could have hoped for in terms of story and dialogue, no? They're also talking about how the core of the game is the horror genre, and Diablo 3 will stay true to that. MC: There has to be a support class. I imagine a knight of some form will make an appearance. Class types to cover (needn't all be independent): Support/buffing Cursing/debuffing Ranged physical Ranged magic Melee tank Melee damage dealer Summoning Traps I reckon they've got a priest, archer and mage left to cover. Remember though, they seem keen on mixed classes these days (Assassin, Druid, Witch Doctor). Edited June 29, 2008 by Krezack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I don't want to see dialog trees in Diablo, that just doesn't fit in. Diablo is all about fast-paced hack&slash, dialogs would just slow the experience down. OTOH I wouldn't mind a real RPG from Blizzard, with dialog trees of course. Rain makes everything better.
