Diablo 1 on the ps1 was bad.. but 2 people on the same screen actually sounds good to me - hate it when people can't stay together on Diablo 1 and everyone complains "stay together!!!" but if you Had to stay together because of mechanics, that would be leetskeet
Limited vision, and if someone is forced outside the screen they don't know where the hell they are or going, or whats around them, so they die. It may be handy for a bit, but in a great group you don't have that problem. A good team stays together due to discipline, not because they were forced.
Diablo 1 was very simple compared to Diablo 2. No Skill points, no combo skills like Hammer+Concentration, and especially not as much havoc. On a PC you have lots of keys, lots of controls, and we have all learned to use them all as if another piece of our body. With all that in mind, I seriously doubt someone with a controller can ever do Uber Tristram.
If anything it would be really cool to have Diablo3 on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live and PS3. These consoles have next-gen technology and to have a D3 on to would be INSANE!!!!! PC is fine but I think the environment could fully expand to a great universe with these console systems. I would say if they want their company to grow and become stronger and more fun they would have all Blizzard games on console aswell as PC. Yet again D3 was always the hack N slash rpg for the PC not for the console.
I doubt it. You can't submerge yourself as much into console games because they are meant for more casual gamers. The controls, the powers, the abilities, the characters themselves on D2 alone are too much for a simple controller to handle, much less Diablo 3. If Diablo 3 goes to console, Blizzard will suffer greatly, because this means they will either have to make two different versions of the game that can't play with each other, or they will have to simplify the PC version to accommodate the console version, and that will definitely cause an uproar.
No, console is definitely NOT a route any of the three current Blizzard franchises should ever take. Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo should never be on a console, it would disrupt the story, and make it harder for fans to be able to follow it. Perhaps a new franchise can be made into the console platform, but none of the existing ones can ever bridge that gap. That is what Blizzard realized when they tried out Starcraft: Ghost, and that is why they have postponed it indefinitely.
aahhrrg, I can't wait all the way until October before D3 may or may not be announced!
To be honest though, my biggest fear is that the big day finally comes, i get my shiney new copy of D3, install it, log on and hate it.... wakes me up in cold sweats that does
Here's another coincidence I might as well post. Most likely nothing but whatever. On Blizzard's 2008 WWI Site it says, When and where is the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational?
Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th of June 2008.
Hall 5 of the Porte de Versailles Exposition Center, Paris, France
ur making me get super hyped and if ur wrong iam going 2 kill you.....with a trident......
I'm not making you do anything. I am merely providing a balance to the comment she said. I've already said there is a chance Diablo won't be announced. A very strong chance. However the chance of there being an announcement is also strong, so at this point we can only wait for time to tell.
The third room is for more people. There, I said it.
And now you can leave. Thank you.
Blizzard said it was for more people, but it doesn't mean thats all its for. Before they had 2 halls for 2 franchises. This year they are expanding to 3. There is a third franchise. There has been a TON of activity regarding Diablo, most notably the takeover of Diablo3.com.
Damn. I hope alot of you come. We can meet up and have lunch or something and go to the convention in little groups. I'm going to try and bring a recorder at least if they are allowed so I can take audio notes since they don't allow cameras. Man this is going to be EPIC!!!
mesa,glendale gilbert, chandler, scottsdale, there all good...well if we r gonna meet up for this thing we should get our shit 2gether and figure some stuff out
How old are you? We can meet up somewhere and talk so we can organize this shit way before it happens. And I also don't want to get killed on my way there by a complete stranger.
u guys should stop by AZ and pick me up....oh and also they r going 2 announce D3 at WWI because if they didn't and we r right (3 convention halls for the 3 major franchises) then they would have one hall blocked off until the announcement and i don't think they would do that considering how many people they r going 2 have...
Where do you live? We might be able to work something out since I'm in AZ too.

You won't. No need to fear.
ROFL. That's hilarious.
That's stupid. WC is developed by the same team that makes SC2. And since the SC team is busy with SC2, Diablo is free to be worked on by team 3.

Cool. You going to Blizzcon?
So far I'd say you and I share alot in common. Alliance?
And is anyone else going to Blizzcon?

Not going to disclose the location in which I live, but I'm really goddamn close to Pheonix.
