I'm sorry, but you are an idiot if you think if anything is 100% for certain. Just because a particular famed franchise had commercial success in the past isn't an indication that it will repeat itself in the future. The times change, so do people.
PacMan and Tetris were some of the most popular and most played games back in the days, but it doesn't mean if you make a new PacMan or Tetris now they will still sell.
Huh?
Even if Diablo 3 was below expectations everyone would still buy it over similar competition because it's Diablo 3.
Yeah If they made a new pacman i'd buy it in fact i bought PacMan CE edition on the XBL arcade. I have all the 3d games those were fun and hard and i have the original. Tetirs is boring but still a classic i personally wouldn't buy it. But to me D2 =BEST GAME EVER! and as it is my favorite game i simply would buy it just cause i like it. You don't have to and yes Blizzard has a notorius rep for making awsome games their streak hasnt ended yet don't jinx em they'll do fine with this one aswell.I mean look at how they completely revamped starcraft.

what?
are you joking?
all they have done with Starcraft 2 is just Starcraft with better graphics.
if they had done what Relic did with Dawn of War 2 then it can be considered a revamp

You have to be kidding..... SC2 has so many new units with infinite possibilities. If you can use any of the same tactics from SC and be successful than I will bow down to you.

Yeah SC2 got revamped so many units and way better graphics an actual physics engine and an actual interactive world. Thats a revamp to me. Diablo i gteting a revamp as well with a better physics system better graphics cooler monsters better story more quests. Diablo 3 is going to kicka ss nomatter who says it will not.

i hate being a douche, but diablo3 beats the crap outta starcraft! *holds up riot shield*
anyway, even though i REALLY want diablo 3 to come out soon, i doubt its gonna happen. i dont see why it wont be released mid 2010, but i guess we all have our hopes and opinions. as long as they dont rush this, ill be happy.
It is literally impossible for a 2010 releas they need to finish up two acts and then finish details on the fifth class then beta test then balance and then release that all should take a year or a year and a half theres mid 2011 and then you wait till they release the release date at blizzcon 11' and then bam you have the game in time for christmas=] a year of playign and bam the world ends cuz diablo is so uber.

i guess thats true. but who knows? maybe they are closer than we think. and u might as well take in the possibility that the process wont take long, especially since they never announced a public beta (and possibly never will). hmmmMmMmMmmmm
Blizzard is hesitant to put a release date on any game and when they do they never meet it. Werent we suppose to have 1.13 patch aswell as sc2 beta already? 2011 will quickly turn into 2012. And we all know this shit is going to happen
Calm down with the 2012 nothing happens its a change in the world
aka th poles will shift
its the number one thing scientists are looking at because it hasnt happened it over 700 million years and when it does here is what happens
FAMIN= due to the poles shifting the north will be summer in winter and the south will be winter in summer. aka reverse of right now. This means every migration patter and farming season is totally fukced up. So animals will die because theyll follow the normal migration patter and hit conditions that kill most of them off aka th emass extinction of nimal. Crops will fail because we wont knwo the new conditions needed to plant them or what time of the year to do it.
Disease: more diseases will come about as a result of all this famine and starvation and everyone will start to die off.
Essentially thats what happens when the poles shift and it can take up to a hundred years or 1 millisecond
noone knows but they predict it can happen in a matter of hours.

And anyway in 2030 somethein if we dont find something to knock away a meteor its coming straight on a collision course with earth i think thats a more serious and scientifically proven theory right now. Its orbiting aroudn the sun in psiral and in 2027 i think it passes through whats known asa keyhole and is touched by earths gravitational pull and therefore pulled closer and on a direct path with erth the next time they come around and meet. Mind you the thing is 3x the size of the one when the dinosaurs hit and that one killed off almost everyplant and animal in exestince. so anything withing a couple of thousand miles has the possibility of dying.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
Sorrystormcat...yes back on topic. Well i was just thinking about how if everygame ever planned to be released by blizzard has been pushed back half a year to ayear. Diablos gunna be one of those games too. It should b pojected to release q4 of 11 but that could change to around mid to late 12. I feel it will come out late 11 though i mean considering they've had what 6 years maybe more to complete this game. I would say that they should be somewhere to finishing soon. I mean this next year should just be the final work on the last act and the fifth class then you just have to wait for beta and balancing which could take months years who knows with blizzard. But i project a mid 11 release or a late 11 pushed back mid 12 at the latest

Actually when a game is hyped up this much it usually tends to be good i mean look at halo 2 amazing halo 3 amazing yet worse than halo 2 but yet STIL AMAZING. And Flikera are you kidding me. They require the same amount of balance. Diablo 3's balance is actually alot harder because you have 5 diffrent unique heroes that attribute something diffrent from the game and when played in PVP th ebarb does super raw damage but a wizard has crap defense no VIT lots of mana and some powerful spells wheres the ballance in that?.... they needed to make two skills tele and slow time so they can dodge easier. Yet they couldn't overpower those skills so now theres a cooldown on tele 9 seconds. And i bet you in pvp slow time reduces speed by ten percent while in regular online play it probably reduces monster speed by 100 %.... Theres alot of balance for the monk too. He has really fast attack and can prob double how many hits he can put up compared to a barb but that means hes gotta be weaker and if his skills are uber then there has to be some limit to them or a hgih cost so they arent as killer. And against a mage he gets destroyed right now but they implement lots of things to make it even without making it easy to kill one type o class . In starcraft its easy. You have 3 "classes" and some tiers of attacks. shit attack fast movers aka the smallest unit then you have medium units bigger stronger slower then you have higher units UBER powerful but super slow and a litle weak. Then you have air units quick and agile but powerless and somewhat weak defense. Then you have the uber person liek the mothership and she does uber damage and uber defense and uber speed ut she has a cooldown a long one i think and only a certain number of attacks she can do. So their balancing is pretty much just making diffrent animations for each of the three races. I dont knwo what your smokin but diablo has way more balancing than SC2

No I'm not smoking rocks, as if it can actually be done. But are you?
Past success is the largest indication of the hype a product will build, but not a repeated success in the future.
If you honestly think D3 will do bad in sales then you need to get a mental evaluation.... :thumbsup:
And past success generally means future success, especially in established companies.....
If you can show me one example of a company who is world renown for being incredible and has a product that was anticipated for more than 10 years and failed miserably, be my guest. But if you can't, it proves your wrong.
And Entity, if you organize your opinions better I might actually read them.
