Oh, videogaming. Well, they simply reported that Shacknews contacted Blizzard for a comment to the Diablo 3 Announcement rumor.
Shacknews is well known in the gaming news industry, so I believe they got that response from Blizzard. However, I don't read too deep into that canned response. Last year they said the same about Starcraft 2, and voila -- within a couple of weeks they announced Starcraft 2 at WWI 2007.
That doesn't mean it will happen on WWI 2008, but hope is the last one gives up.
MD, whats your whole theory on the diablo franchise (this is quite a serious question).
What sort of diablo game (if any) can we look forward to? (MMO SP/MP)
Do you believe the timing now is better than any to announce it? (with starcraft II almost out)
MD what is your whole view on whats going to happen with diablo. In theory.

-My Position on Black Metal: "So you know those annoying kids you see running around listening to crap radio rock bands wearing tripp jeans and shopping at hot topic? Well, Black Metal is just the next big thing... have fun with your trends, I'm gonna stay metal"

Well I should ban myself and half the posters in this thread for going off-topic lol. On a serious note, you are asking about my personal opinion:
1. What I think or wish ... Diablo III RPG hack'n slash in 3D. Followed by an expansion, and a MMO.
2. My opinion on the Next-Gen MMO: Starcraft Ghost revamped into the PC.
3. IF -- and this is not confirmed -- an announcement is made at WWI -- maybe a cinematic and gameplay video. BlizzCon: Maybe first public hands-on.
as long as any 3d version is not as bad as hellgate it will be fine with me. the Legend-look with the diablo feel - that would be great.
but aside from the engine running the horse - any Diablo announcement from Blizzard would be a superb message.
So let's keep the expectations low and wait some more days, weeks and months...
As far as the 3d thing goes I'm sure they will use full 3d environments and characters, but will still look a lot like d2 but only with the ability to angle the camera, and limited zooming

I believe that the current development of events merits for us lurkers to come out to the open, and I have been lurking for a couple of years now, but the moment is ripe now as I can almost see the incoming Diablo greatness!.
Glad to be part of this historic moment!:thumbsup:
ok guys here it is... we've got a blizzard insider!!!
his name is 'blizzsecrets' and this post is from the diabloii.net forums..
lets see wut he has to say:
My time is short, so I will make this as brief as possible. We are undergoing a brief security upgrade (monitoring software currently offline), and I have time to post this email: this email address will never be checked. I will never use this nickname again. Below info is highly subject to streamline and change:
-ghost cancelled due to disinterest by public: staff divided, some to D3 some to SC2, some to WoW
-WoW graphical upgrade imminent within 2 years, 2 new hero classes (common knowledge, possibly warden and archmage)
-D3 set initially in Limbo, between worlds (terrain as appropriate). Some time travel part of game story
-Heaven under siege by Hell - 2 factions, pvp between factions only
-2 new classes added, 7 previous classes kept: Infernal, Nephalim (demon and angel) infernal is male, nephalim female
-New skills for each class
-shards of worldstone scattered across time/space: new socketable gems of considerable power (effects under speculation)
-"Guild" games, in which guilds may have halls that only guild members may join game session to access.
-guild channels, with banning and kicking functions enabled for guild masters on battle.net
Sorry for such small tidbits, but I'm crossing the line greatly.
Whatever that is true or not I do not need it to feel that Diablo III is on its way, and I bet many feel the same way, that said if it turned out to be true it would mean that our dear D3 is almost at a finished state :cute:.
Also shacknews.com are already on top of this news, internet is such a small place
