That's bullshit, i would say they have about 70-80% of the game done, he said this so they can push the launch into mid 2011, and not dim the sales of cataclysm.
I sure as hell hope you're right... I definitely feel that 2011 is now a done deal
I really hate to be the person to point this out, but Jay mentioned not being able to talk about too much stuff in order to have something for next Blizzcon. That pretty much shuts down my highly optimistic estimation of a late June 2011 release. :down: :down:
there could always be a Diablo III expansion announcement in next Blizzcon if they follow the Diablo II pattern
either way i think a 2011 release is very likely, even if it comes after Blizzcon (that should be around August next year).
Didn't he say you can walk through the entire game, not play it? There are some rough spots as well.
So basically they've got the areas conceptualized and a large part of the 3d areas are finished. Perhaps some 3d models of bosses, or they might just be crude placeholders. Side-areas might still need work.

It's good to hear a progress report, at least
