I got through 8 pages of reading people's theory's on how it is the three brothers morphed into one that I just said screw it and posted skipping pages 9-12 where of course it was probably mentioned. I just think Blizzard would go with that more than some of the other opinions. That's why I put detail into it.
Also, after reading the last comment on Diablo, I'm more convinced that it is him. 3 heads, 6 eyes, anyone see wings in the trailer? That'd be some intense evidence there.
Someone also suggested that this beast is Belial, Lord of Sin and the 3 heads are to ensure no one knows which head is lying? or something to that extent.
I just read how they are calling D3 project Hydra. This makes me further believe the three headed demon is diablo because they pulled that out of literature as well. I am sure you know Hydra is a many headed beast, what you may not know is that Hercules killed the Lernaean Hydra. So now my first pick of class will be a Barb hahaha
After the trailer was posted in which the 3 headed (mouthed) demon appeared there was a Q-A with the devs a day later. In the Q-A someone asked if how they justified bringing big D back after he was slain in hell and sent to the black abyss. The developer responded that we (as in we the fans) dont know if Big D will return (I am presuming he will) which leads me to believe the demon in the trailer is Belial or Azmodan.
I am hoping we get to se a Demon fight between Diablo and one of these 2 demons, it would make one hell of a cgi cutscene.
Yes that would be super badass if they fought.
And none of us know if it's Diablo either.
But then people say, OH DIABLO WOULD BE ON THE FRONT PAGE/COVER DUH!
But who was on the LOD cover? NOT DIABLO.
This could be Belial or Azmadon, the final boss or something.
OK, to end the "It's CALLED Diablo so it IS Diablo" arguement.
Let's assume Diablo IS dead, vanquished, gone forever. Is Blizzard going to CHANGE THE NAME OF THE GAME to... let's say TYRAEL, or BELIAL?
Of course not. Even though I believe it's possible otherwise, Diablo could very well be entirely gone in body and soul. The face on the cover belongs to the Hydra, whoever that may be/consist of. It could be Diablo, Azmodan, Belial, Baal, hell, it could even be Tyrael for all we know.
None of us know ANYTHING for sure, stop acting like Diablo coming back is something obvious.
Interesting. Is it possible that the death of Diablo sent him back to Hell?
It says Satan tortures those betrayers, the betrayers at this point would be Azmodan and Belial correct?
Diablo + Azmodan + Belial = Hydra?
Crazy speculation, but I just need someone to prove me wrong with something besides what they "think".
I think you misinterpreted the person you quoted. He stated that the three heads that Satan consumed were Cassius, Brutus, and Judas. Those that betrayed Julius Caesar, and Jesus respectively.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you should read a few passages from the Bible and read Julius Ceasar. (Shakespeare's version because it gives you the story, but is fantasized)

Et tu Brute?
Perhaps you should re-read the passage. Satan is described as a three-headed demon, with each head torturing/chewing 1 victim, the 3 traitors.
I don't believe it ever says Satan "consumes" them, they are sentenced to eternal torture in his jaws, but not consumption.
It could very well be Diago, Diablos long lost brother, there has to be a little D too ya know
But seriosuly It's probably asmodan or Belial considering they're the only two left alive (unless the whole theory about baal looking like Tyreal in that last movie is right) Of course it could just be Diablo just showing his bad-assedness

"Can't you all see Diablo is just pubescent? He's not evil he's just a teenager!"
"Then how do you explain all the dead people?"
"Uhh they were accidents!"
"Oh ok we thought it was because he was a Prime Evil, oh well good day to ya"
Dude it doesn't have three heads of you look closer they're just shoulderpads.......
I had to watch that scene many times to decide but it's definitely 3 heads.
Notice the gap at the bottom right of the middle heads jaw? There wouldn't be a gap there if it was shoulder pads there would be shoulder meat or other tissue.
I think the Hydra is a combination of Baal, Diablo, and Mephisto. Diablo being the dominant middle head.
Not sure how this ties in with Tyrael but when Tyrael fell from heaven all this started happening so it has something to do with him.
I like the new look, the little shoulderpad faces look a little weird.... but overall I approve. He looks more demonic imo, in D1/2 he looks a little cliche.

I'm on, :confused:
And yeah the 3 heads thing makes sense.
Hmmm... Three-headed Diablo, or horny dinosaur Diablo ... Decisions! ... Decisions!
heheheh. sorry.

the three brothers are gone for good
and that cain has been looking for the last 2 evils
personally i dont buy that bull especially since the interview was apparently from a recent employee of blizzard and not a veteran
Well, to be fair, Baal IS the Lord of Destruction, so putting his face on the expansion kind of made sense :-P

Nah I don't see that. Though Tyrael has some part in it I'm sure. Either with or against his will.
Possible but I find it more likely Tyrael has been corrupted to some extent and Deckard will just end up dying somehow.
