It is been a week today since Diablo III was announced by Blizzard Entertainment's president Mike Morhaime at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals 2008 in Paris, France. Many previews and interviews have been popping all over the internet. Below you have a round up of the latest ones in the past few days.
- Rob Pardo comments Diablo III could theoretically be ported to Console.
- Witch Doctor or Necromancer article at MTV Multiplayer.
- Diablo III lead producer Keith Lee video interview at MTV Multiplayer.
- The Man Behind Diablo III Talks Plot, Lore and Battle.Net
- Diablo III rumored to support DirectX 10.1 (Not confirmed)
- Plans to Console not yet determined, How would that play out with Activision? -- read more at Guardian.
The week has gone so slow from excitement and being impatient for more info :|
Yea, all this Diablo III information is starting to bore me! It's mostly all old news! I crave new news ( Especially an official release date, rather it's Pay to Play, and previews of the new characters and towns! )
Also, one of the interviews says September 2009. I don't believe it. It could be sooner, or it could be late, but I don't think blizzard said that. Or atleast prove it to me on their website.
sure gaybox and ps3 had better hardware when they came out, but 8 core processors coming in q4 and the 100 series on the horizon, your MAC's that sit under your TVs will be holding people back (once again)
d3 on console == more anger by fans than the art direction has brought
but its bnet so no p2p, but I think d3 and sc2 will both be very soon so people are d3'd and sc2'd out by the time their next mmo comes out so they can hit 20mil subs this time
If the Demo represents the feel of Diablo 3, I think that dude (forgot his name) is going to fuck Blizzard over just like he did with Command and Conquer Generals.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
battle.net on xbox live... i dont think so. i played starcraft and broodwar on N64 along time ago, never got the chance to play D1 on whatever consol it was on but im sure it was just as horrible as SC on N64
i personally would love if it came to consoles(i mean honestly is it that bad to go out and buy a usb mouse and keyboard....honestly) while i am more than capable of playing it on the pc.......the ps3 or 360 would make it easier since the systems have built in voice communication capabilities which= less dieing and you have Trophies/achievements....i'd whore over that for ages....
(btw im a playstation fanboy hardcore and a diablo fanboy hardcore so the 2 merging would probably give me some sort of massive heart attack stroke brain anurism combination)
- On the artical written by Brian Dimmel on infopackets.com:
the company has announced it will be releasing a new version of the hyper-popular action-Role Playing Game (RPG) in September, 2009.
- this cant be true considreing half way down the artical he states:
Gamers will be again following their characters (the original five classes are available, and as of now Blizzard has also revealed the "Witch Doctor")
- we all already know that ALL of the five classes will not be available or there wouldnt be a witch doctor becuase we also know that there infact will only be 5 classes.
- if he is making outragious statements like more than 5 classes then the rest of his artical must be false as well. This page was only written a day ago, all he really would have had to do is read alittle bit?
im so tired of this mis-information
WHEN IS THE GOD DAMN RELEASE DATE
I would hate it if they replace the necromancer with the witch doctor, the two characters that shouldn't be put out off the game are the barbarian and the necromancer. But well let's see how it goes, and yes when is the release date!

I think anyone who reads the petition and looks at all the screen shots posted would sign it. Im very sure of that.
I did not really like the graphics/colours too much but I wasnt that mad, but when I saw the before and after screenshots that diehard fans have created, I realised how much better this game could be. It made me kind of angry too, about the whole WoW feeling. http://www.petitiononline.com/d3art/petition.html
Like this one: http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6065/howitshouldlooklikevx5.jpg.
I can barely even see anything in this one. How do I play a game where everything is a black blob in a black-gray-ish blob environment? I don't understand why one would think next-gen graphics should only be dark brown, dark gray, and loads of black, all with excessive film grain (like in one of those "improved" screenshots (http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7807/itshouldrh5.jpg)? Please, I don't want my eyes to start hurting watching those sort of graphics.
Quote from "GrandRobot" »
i personally think the witch doctor is going to be way more bad ass then the necro. dont cry gothic boy, you need more eyeliner?
Zombie Wall was all I needed to see in order to completely forget about the Necro.
- Diablo III Release Date: September 2009 ? (Read More)
I think that it's really, really soon to say that. If u enter the Official site, you can read the FAQs to se that it says that it's too soon. There is no foundation on that release date announcement.
Though I'd like to see a beta to play a little bit and stop this eagerness... of course, I won't be able to sleep until the game is released if I play a beta, demo or whatever.
except that all the "fans" (roffle) that made the screen shots did nothing but apply a layer of post processing
and anyone who has played gmod realize how easy that is to do in a game
if blizzard thinks it best they will
but this game isn't coming out for a year so go troll about how WOTLK is so amazing now, aerial mounted combat might make me cancel my WAR order for wow again :-(
oh and roffle flamestride or w/e
I am not buying a keyboard and mouse that will go into a 40inch tv 8 feet away from it to a couch...
also console's "built in voice lolol so we can strat lololol, AND ACJHUIEVEINMENTS!"?
have you not played a game on PC before?

PC is greater in every way

--Steel :cool:
oh shi-
valve and blizzard are almost == on quality
I have faith in our friends down in cali
also, why didn't anyone point out the wildfires in cali as a clue that d3 was coming? Fire + bad actors == hell amirite?!?!??!?!
gaybox is a lil gayer (though gow is > resistance)
paying for online is never ok unless the game is ran off the companies server and NOT my computer/console/server
This petition is to KEEP the current art direction

I looked at these screenshots. The only one that I thought was a real improvement was the first photobucket link (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l318/frostwake/Diablo32.jpg). Everything else was too gray, or too dark to see anything.
