BlizzCast 8 nearly done and it's "almost entirely" about Diablo 3!

[mockery]

Bashiok recently chimed in to respond to a fairly pushy fan's demands for more Diablo 3 information. The user by the name of Barnesy04 had 3 questions:

"No more fooling around. D3 fans need some answers.
We've went since Oct. without anything relevant being revealed.

1. Are we going to have to wait until August (Blizzcon) for any REAL information?
2. Are we going to have any gameplay vids like the first ever shown again, or are we just going to have ones like the blizzcon demo gameplay?
3. Whats the next classes?! :P Ok ok ok, I'm pushing the 3rd demand!"

Looks like his pushy attitude managed to get some information out... check out what Bashiok had to say:

"No more fooling around!? Damn. You're on to me.

1. Depends on what you consider REAL information. I'm probably not supposed to say that BlizzCast 8 is almost entirely Diablo III related and should be out before the end of the month. It's going to be a good one and... oh no!
Also I personally love the bestiary updates, and you BETTER like the next one we have planned. Or else...
2. When we're ready to show something off, we'll show it off. :)
3. You'll find out soon enough."

Finally, we get a BlizzCast pretty much dedicated to Diablo 3! And by the sound of things, the next Bestiary update is going to reveal something really interesting. The end o' the month can't come soon enough!

Exciting stuff!

Maybe a release date will be announced at BC8.? Or D3 will possibly hit before SC2??

Kind of makes you wonder why Bashiok said that "I probably shouldn't say this" You have to question why SC2 would not be the star of BC8, if it's supposed to be hitting shelves this year? Hmmm......Maybe this was a huge hint that just got dropped.

"it's going to be a good one"

Like the others wern't? LoL. He knows something BIG, and I'm excited!!

hell, it's about time

looks like this can be the month when we get some real news. a video or something. if it wasn't like this Bashiok just wouldn't respond there...

that's a bit of a strech don't you think?

and I think if SC2 will be coming out this year the date will be revealed at blizzcon. if they release a date for D3(which I doubt) it's definitely coming out before SC2. although, they said on numerous occasions that SC2 will come out first.

Can't wait!

I aim high and shoot low.

Since we now know that BC8 is going to be almost entirely based on D3, I am assuming that they are planning to release some BIG info. I'm excited as hell, why not, right?

Are you sure?

Perhaps I am reading if out of context, but it just seems like it was a throw-away statement. Perhaps he means it.

It is about bloody time that we finally get an update.

[Walleye]

I was not expecting it to be out before the end of the month.

However, did you consider there may have been some kind of unforseen problem with SC2, causing a delay of such proportions it would in turn make Blizz release D3 first?

I can. My hopes remain high.

Finally an almost entire Blizzcast for D3, always seemed like SC2 this and WoW that and two sentences about D3. I think it's obvious that Bashiok dropped this on purpose; I'm sure if he really wasn't allowed to mention it or there was no new info he wouldn't say anything. We certainly have gone quite a while without signifigant updates. Maybe some new levels, new monsters, new info about the gameplay or even new character; though I doubt that last one since that will probably wait for a major event.
