ZeroDamage June 28, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member June 28, 2008 Has been officially announced. The game play trailer is great. I only wonder when it will be out. After SC2 probably. http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/index.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saris June 28, 2008 Share Saris Member June 28, 2008 Dang, you beat me to it!! My life will be GONE when this game comes out. I watched the gameplay trailer and I was floored. It's everything I hoped and more. I always said that even if they took the original D2 engine and made a same game with new same gfx, but new items and story, I'd play it all over again. It's not going to be epic as other games I've played, but I expect to play this game longer than I've ever played any other (MMORPGs don't keep me around long, so it's rare I stick to one game.)

aldan June 28, 2008 Share aldan Member June 28, 2008 Yeah, I, too, am thinking (yes, I really am thinking!) that SC2 will come out before D3. What gives me that thought? Perhaps it's that they've been working on that game for the last 5 years or so... I have been playing with these series' since the first WC demo came out, and I'm glad that for the most part they've kept the gameplay styles the same, or nearly so, at least.

YoMamma June 28, 2008 Share YoMamma Member June 28, 2008 I beat Diablo I a long time ago and as cool as the game was when it came out, I found Diablo II to be basically the same thing, so I never bothered to play through the whole game. I guess Diablo III looks a little more intense and seems to have more detail, but I don't think I'll be buying it. I'm more excited about StarCraft II.

TheFirstMonk June 29, 2008 Share TheFirstMonk Member June 29, 2008 Thanks for posting this. I used to play this game alot as a teenager (because I sucked at StarCraft), and I think it's one of the first games that got me hooked on PC gaming. I remember when Diablo 2 and LoD were finished, people were already speculating on Diablo 3, but they were mostly rumors; eventually, I stopped paying attention. It's cool to find stuff like this though. *POSSIBLE SPOILERS (FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED DIABLO 2)* Judging from the cinematic and gameplay trailer, I can see that they're setting the storyline quite a few years after the last game since Deckard Cain has a huge beard; they showed part of the cinematic from the end of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction with Tyrael and the Worldstone; and the Barbarian (a class created in Diablo 2) is also quite old and seems to recognize Cain in that short cutscene in the gameplay trailer. *END SPOILERS* I don't know how I feel about some of the aspects of the game just yet. Having no potions looks like it'll make the game possibly harder. The Witch Doctor class seems a little less fantasy and more like it's based of off superstition and stereotypes. Maybe the backstory will be good, so I dunno. I do like that they made some mechanics of the game seem easier (like the skill bar) and the interactive environments and customization of characters (so far, we know they can make male and female versions of a class; hopefully, we'll be able to change other stuff too) could be a really cool addition (if only aesthetically). Things that really got my attention and/ or made me laugh: When the huge boss at the end of the gameplay trailer picks up the male Barbarian and chews it in half. (How do you resurrect from that. Lol.) Seeing the Barbarian do the Leap move it did in Diablo 2. (Even though I never played the Barbarian, it was nice to see something familiar) The Barbarian knocking down a wall to crush a bunch of zombies. Nice. And as a closing note, I hope they bring back some of the old classes, like the Paladin and the Druid. I guess I'll be scavenging the web now for more info on this game.

TheFirstMonk June 29, 2008 Share TheFirstMonk Member June 29, 2008 I don't know how to edit these posts. I made a mistake in the previous one. It should say 'off of' instead of 'of off.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC June 29, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member June 29, 2008 (edited) I think the graphics look kind of dumb. I don't mind that they took the artsy approach but I don't like their approach to it. Looks like Warcraft III or World of Warcraft judging by the textures and environments. I wish they went with a bit more realistic artistic look like the new Prince of Persia is. I also will not buy it unless it has the Necromancer... Edit: Why do zombies have so much blood? Edited June 29, 2008 by VooDooPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFirstMonk June 29, 2008 Share TheFirstMonk Member June 29, 2008 Yeah, I tried clicking the edit button last night, but for some reason it asked me for full or quick edit. I chose quick, made the changes and somehow got stuck. It won't post because I'm doing something wrong. I'll try it later on another post maybe.

dwEEziL June 29, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member June 29, 2008 You pick "Quick Edit", make your changes, then, in the comment section you have new buttons. One is "Complete Edit", another is "Cancel Edit", and the third is "Use Full Editor". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwack June 29, 2008 Share bushwack Member June 29, 2008 Hope D3 turns out better then WC3 did. Um... WarCraft III is awesome I loved WC2 and put many hours of multiplay on Kali back in the day. I was super hyped about WC3 and was totally let down. While it was in glorious 3d, seemed dumbed down. While I loved Diablo and D2, I dunno if D3 will fly, the first 2 where made in the days of hardware limitations. I figured I would love Titans Quest, bring back that ol' Diablo feeling but just ended up a mindless clickfest for me. Ultimately D3 looks no different but eh, the kids might like it.

Demoner June 30, 2008 Share Demoner Member June 30, 2008 I wonder if this is going to be a monthly fee game or just a one time purchase? if its a one time purchase than I am for sure going to get this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a one time deal but don't think the peanut counters are, well, counting their nuts. Don't forget Blizzard has a big sack.

WarCraft III looks like it's dumbed down but I've found it to be a very deep RTS. A lot of people just think of it as good for custom games, but I like the standard games also.
