Diablo III
 
New game which has been announced by Blizzard today.

Looks impressive. I was an avid DiabloII player, but ended up playing Warcraft. Was sort of hoping that the new Warcraft expansion was getting a release date announced, but still!

Wish I could go back in time and invest in Activision before Blizzard released WoW.. That, and this would have made me a millionaire.

RBM 06-28-2008 06:54 PM

I got a bit stiff in the pants after watching the gameplay trailer.

I just wonder how much of a time difference Starcraft 2 will be compared to Diablo 3 with their releases.

Ninti the Mad 06-28-2008 07:21 PM

Are the zones not gonna be randomized anymore? That made Diablo interesting for me.

Requiem 06-28-2008 07:44 PM

Wow, honestly didn't care about the game until I watched the gameplay video. Holy crap that looks amazingly fun. At the end when the boss picks up one of the guys and bites him in half.. awesome.

Was watching the stream when they announced it this morning. I immediately cast level 20 jizz storm on my surroundings.

Apparently Rob Pardo, one of the designers who was interviewed by ign, said their team liked to announce games roughly 1-1.5 years before release, so should be out by end of next year. Lot of rumors claim the game may actually release before SC2. DAMNIT I WANNA PLAY IT NOWZZZZZZZZZZZ

Ninti the Mad 06-29-2008 01:39 AM

whoo still randomized

Bad Company 06-29-2008 03:28 AM

Oh fuck yes, I am jizzing right now.

According to Gamespot.com, and I swear to you I looked at this twice. The release date for Diablo III is......






12/31/08

PRETTY SURE I'M GONNA FAINT IF THIS IS TRUE

DS 06-29-2008 05:00 PM

Not true. They wouldn't announce a release date the same time they announce the game is in development. And the date on Gamespot now is back to TBA.

Was most likely just a default date.

Gray 06-29-2008 06:02 PM

Yeah, a lot of companies [Amazon/Play.com] etc have to put what they would think is a release date by all accounts, so it gives people the right to Pre-Order, think its illegal otherwise

Bad Company 06-29-2008 10:12 PM

Wonder if we'll see it on console

Wouldn't surprise me.

Bad Company 06-29-2008 11:11 PM

Yeah, I think it'll have to be, crazy cash cow.
Speaking of cows... Perhaps we'll see a Diablo III cow level :D

Gonzo 06-29-2008 11:31 PM

I don't think it will go to console. If it does, I doubt you would see a port until at least several years after the PC release.

Boomer 07-01-2008 10:49 PM

Diablo II is probably in my top 3 favorite games of all time, so yeah. I'm excited.

Yea, it falls as number 3 for me. Top PC game in my personal rankings. In fact I am going to start on the new ladder season tomorrow due to posting this.

Boomer 07-04-2008 10:22 AM

Being the big Diablo fan that I am, I have been a bit upset at some of the fan backlash to the amount of color in the initial released gameplay video. People get too up in arms over things like that...especially when it only shows like 2 or 3 areas in a game that takes place 20 years after Diablo II, in which the world has gone back to normal.

Sepholio 07-04-2008 02:06 PM

Not to mention that the guy who released the 'edited' images to show what the fans want just took the same images, decreased the gamma and saturation and saved them. I like the graphics how they have them, tbh. If it didn't have the gore I'd be pissed but the barbarian was brutalizing those schmucks and leaving a wave of blood and guts behind.

And as for the game being 20 years later, I am calling this now. Tyrael will be the bad guy by the end of the game.

Boomer 07-04-2008 02:53 PM

The little comments they have had about Deckard Cain make it sound like he might go crazy too. I'm intrigued.

Sepholio 07-04-2008 06:00 PM

Deckard Cain is Diablos Mom. It's true, don't ask me how, but it is.

Bad Company 04-01-2009 05:33 AM

Nice pics, I can't wait for this to finally be released.

Boomer 04-01-2009 11:02 AM

I'm excited probably more than anybody on here (I'm sure I'd have plenty of people contest that), but its still a long way away. Something really exciting to look forward to though.

Funky Fly 04-01-2009 06:35 PM

Me want. When is it due?

Yeah, I'd easily argue with you over that :p

End of the year according to the rumour mill a while back. Hasnt been announced though.

Boomer 04-02-2009 12:11 PM

I doubt very seriously if its coming by then. Blizzard haven't even released the beta for Starcraft II yet, which is much farther along in its development. I mean Blizzard hasn't even announced the other two playable classes yet. I honestly don't see it until dropping until Mid-Late 2010...if we're lucky. I would love to be wrong about that.

Gonzo 04-02-2009 02:52 PM

I wouldn't mind if it were that long, that way I'm out of school by a mile and it won't hurt my grades.

bigdaddysuperfreak 04-03-2009 11:57 AM

Blizzard takes forever to do anything

Dark-Slicer Diago 04-03-2009 04:04 PM

I wish this game wasn't taking them so long to make, it'll be awesome when it's finally released.

RBM 04-04-2009 08:59 PM

They might take forever, but it's always worth it. No other gaming company can compare with Blizzard in the last 15 years, imo. Even Rock n Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings were excellent games in the SNES years.

Emperor Smeat 08-01-2011 08:19 PM

Was unsure to bump up this old thread or just make a new one due to how long of time passed between announcements but a bunch of Diablo III news was released by Blizzard.

The game will have an in-game auction house similar to World of Warcraft with one auction house allowing real money to be spent for in-game items and another auction house allowing in-game currency and items to be spent for other items.

Also revealed was the game will require constant internet connection in order to play the game ("Always On" connection). Blizzard says the reason is meant as a way to preventing hacking or minimize it and because of how the game uses Battle.net at all times.

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...oney-auctions/


The beta for the game is still set to arrive between later this year to early next year with initial reports say the game feels and plays just like classic Diablo but with all the flexibility of modern MMOs.

Finally, to combat hacking and illegal playing of the game due to the new auction houses, all mods will not be allowed at all for the game.

Q: Will Diablo III include support for bots and/or mods?

A: No, for a variety of gameplay and security reasons, we will not be supporting bots or mods in Diablo III, and they'll be expressly prohibited by our terms of use for the game.

Forced connection at all times, AND microtransactions for in-game items? What a bunch of horse shit. I will not buy this game. I will, however, pirate the fuck out of it once someone cracks it to make it playable offline.

I understand the issue with a constant internet connection, but why give a fuck about micro-transactions? People did this on eBay with Diablo II and WoW, its just making it legal and manageable for Blizzard. Just ignore the fuck out of it if its that big a deal and get your items the old fashioned way; it's not like those items are only available with money. And hey, maybe you could buy the game, and pay the fucker off by selling in-game items!

And playing Diablo solo isn't nearly as fun, so have fun pirating it. No LAN support, at least from Blizzard anyway.
