Ouch for HGL, but I have to agree. Any new start up game company should closely look at flagship for what not to do. They had some elements of Blizzard; great ideas, pushing a genera, using a great back story and somewhat decent story line. Oh but the failures, namely releasing too early and not fixing the massive bugs or unfun gameplay aspects.
This is the reason I will alsyays love Blizzard, they take their time no matter what. No artificial deadlines, I bet if there was a huge problem two weeks befor release they would postpone it until it was fixed. The down side is that they don't crank out games like crazy.
I will respect (and burn with a fiery hatred) for their disission to take really long development times to make a game great.:evil:
agreed. I don't think that the game will come out in 2011 only because its already been in the making for 4 years, and it would be such a long wait no one would buy it when it eventually did come out.

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
NO believe me, people would buy it... it's diablo after all. I would just be super pissed at Blizzard for making me wait for 10 years ¬_¬. Well at least they could say that Sanctuary time = 2X earth time. Yay! finally we are playing the game 20 years after Diablo 2 :D.... for real. It would be a joke, a game doesn't take 9 years to create ¬_¬... ever.
Doubtful itsa gonna take as long as wow did. Look at the amount of content in vanilla and compare it to....well almost any other game ever made. wow has like 10 times more content then even the biggest RPG's and the amount of time to create that is a lot more then something like D3 would take.
I understand all of you! It's just that I'm afraid that they will do the same thing with Diablo as with WoW! Then why did they wait so long with WoW? Do you guys really think they purposely wanted to ship it at the 10th anniversary?
Because WoW( the initial WoW) was being made from scratch basically, maybe only extending story and all. It has WAAAY more content than Diablo franchise. And Diablo 3 was in development 4 years prior to the announcement. And it is being made with comeplety different graphics and chars and content, but nothing compared to the magnitude of the development of WoW.
I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come out until 2011. Things like this always take longer than expected. I can imagine the news post now: "Diablo III Not Released This Year - Blizzard has just announced that Diablo III won't be coming out until at least next year in 2011. Looks like fans are just gonna have to wait one more year."
People who think that it might come out next year are kidding themselves.

I agree 2009....not gonna happen....the only chance it does is that blizzard made sure they didnt announce the game until they knew they could get it out by then............2010 is a good amount of time and I think it will come out then.....but this is blizzard.....2011 is a possibility tho I think its stretching it a bit.

Yeah I agree with OP... hence the question: What is the point of talking about a game that comes out in 2-3 years from now? Lots of stuff can happen between now and then. In this current economy, some people are bound to be layoff, some cheaper engineers maybe hired for Blizzard and so on. But the longer the wait, the higher my expectation for everything. At the very least, D3 HAS TO be better than other Diablo2 clones (i.e. sacred, shadowflare, and more) or it will fail to sell like Daikana or Duke nuken 4ever... oh wait... we are still waiting on that one. I am still crossing my finger that Diablo3 will be a success. But then I am also crossing my fingers on a lot of other games like SC2 and Guild Wars2 (side note: hopefully they stop making people grind in GW2 and focuse again on gameplay).

If Diablo III was announced in 2008, does this mean we're gonna see it in 2011. I know that WoW was released at the 10th anniversary of the franchise, but I don't think they waited that long just to release it at exactly that date (or year)! If they will do this with Diablo, then there is a LOOOOONG wait ahead!
What do you guys think?
I don't know man. WoW is a HUGE game that would naturally take a long time to make. Diablo is Diablo. It's a rather large game, but nothing compared to WoW.

Duke Nuke Forever WAIT huEHUehuHEUhe It really remenber me of starcraft ghost
And.. seven years to produce a RPG ? No matter how good will be D3 it's a very long time.
If they take to long to realese it like 2011, the graphics wich is allready poor for 2009 generation, will be become a joke. And remenber; they are planning to make more then one expansion set so if they release D3 in 2011 we will have exp sets around 2013 and 2014, right into the new MMORPG generation explendor, wich will cause D3 to have a low number of players (like D2 nowdays), so make a expansion would not be a smart move, and blizz allways do smart moves.
As I can see, Diablo 3 aren't a ''next gen'' game, but if they take to long to release it D3 will have to enter in a competition with ''next gens'' and will surely not be a HUGE sucess.
For those reasons i can't believe blizz are not plainning to realease it to 2009.
