If they launch beta in August after press event and deem the game worthy of release, it could be as early as November. It's close to the end of the year and Blizzcon will be over. If they're announcing all the systems soon that has to mean the game is ready. Big clue if the game wasn't ready would be, "we are going to preview more systems." I could see a November release, if not another month or two won't kill us! if any tweaks and bug fixes need to be made, (and there will be) they can always fix post release. Plus who cares when another game is released, Skyrim is Bethesda, not Blizzard.
The book is on amazon.co.uk, released 15th December: here.
I also back this up that the game will be release on Dec. 15th cause I dont know if anyone saw it but there was a german site that leaked a Diablo 3 release date also. But it wasn't for the book, it was for the game and it also said December 15th, I remember this cause my birthday is dec. 16th!
Plus I have this SUPER strong feeling that its coming out this year FOR SURE. I mean the devs already said they are in testing like this article said, plus then a couple months later... then this diablo 3 book gets leaked on amazon(this is also super strange, how does a company like Amazon, mess up on a product that is SOO HUGE, like if it was meant to happen? You guys ever think about that? I mean, Why would Blizzard even give them information about this book to begin with if its coming out in december? it just brings up so many questions... that start with why!)
But i really think this next meeting will explain it all! I really do, I mean its going to be at the Blizzard building! Its not even going to be at a big gaming conviction(which now that i think of it, you would think that they would release a date at a place like this, but to convert predict that, I guess Blizzard is inviting these news places from all over the internet to come, to make sure this release date, and other information gets to the public!(once again, anyone could easily do that if it was at like blizzcon, so who knows...Blizzard does there own things like always...
I dunno the company said the game is done a long time ago(http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-iiis-development-is-technically-completed), so I totally think that game is sooo MUCH on track to be released! I mean that website article was posted "March 1st 2011", I think since then they been testing the game. They said that they weren't completely finish, so I'm guessing they were just adding all the small things into the game that don't take long, or stuff that doesn't involve alot of code. I totally think that Blizzard would be coming out for a beta for sure, once this meeting comes around later this july. If anything, they should have done a Closed beta(to me this sounds totally possible). Then since so many people have doubts about this game releasing, or how its going end up, or play, they will have an open beta(just speculating... though). But I honestly can say, that IF they do a beta, I believe that there WONT be any HUGE problems with this game. I mean, its going to play out the same way like it did for Starcraft 2!
Another thing people might have forgotten, is that Blizzcon(there hasn't been one speculation on any of these diablo sites talking about Blizzcon, like if it isn't anything big to Blizzard, shit, releasing information about a beta, that seems to be some BIG HUGE information, but then again, they could just release info about features and play test at this meeting, and release date at blizzcon...i think i just predicted the future) never happen. I'm guessing that, this meeting will show websites the way the game works, how it feels and everything. So people can write about. Then once Blizzcon comes, thats when they will throw all the details about release date and everything!
I didn't re-read this...good luck, dont comment on my grammer its the internet, not english! be nice and just talk about diablo 3 instead and not a person whose slow!
I'm just relieved I'll have the necessary hardware to push the game to its limits. You wouldn't believe the shitty machine I played SC2 with. It was really sad.
This article was a great read and has made me look at all the gameplay videos again as well as register just so I can share with you how much I love the world of Diablo. The music is one of my favorite elements and it brings me back 14+ years when I first played Diablo with my uncle. One of the best childhood gaming memories of mine (next to spending countless days on gamei.co.kr Starcraft server :D).
Can't wait for the game to hit the shelves and experience the world of Diablo once again. One of the reasons why I believe it will be an epic game is Blizzard has accumulated so much experience through its other games (WoW especially) that they can apply to Diablo 3 when it comes to dynamics, mechanics and online competitive play. I'm talking about Diablo 3 PVP. Just can't wait! Lucky I bought a new PC this year and a 24" screen, and once D3 is released it will most likely be the only thing my GPU will render
Thanks again, for this fun read that somehow feeds my Diablo needs for a short time at least.
P.S. my guess is that the game will be released a week before the book shipping date. But we will see!
Yep, that's one of the videos I watched and barely noticed it but since it's mentioned I did saw it happened on the big red demon on the first few secs then I needed to focus to notice it on small demons. It did look annoying when it's noticeable but I'm sure it's something that we'll eventually adjust to. I'm with you guys I hope there's some kind of option but like what I've been saying to my posts lately that I will not judge any further since beta is just around the corner.
I used to have this old monitor that has 2 lines like a divider, it was annoying the first few weeks I had it. My eyes eventually adjusted to it and used that monitor for 4 years till I bought a new one.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I love all loot fest kind of game! I will be playing all of them for the next few years. Loot fest games I'm looking forward to: LotR: War in the North,Torchlight 2,Borderlands 2 and of course Diablo 3.
I'd assume the 'hit feedback' would be an extremely simple checkbox option in the game, since many other titles have had options for visual or audio feedback upon doing damage to something. I really doubt they'd leave it as a permanently enabled feature with no way to choose if you want it or not.
As far as when the game comes out, I hope that it's this year, but if they make it I'd assume for a mid or late December release. I don't think it's realistic to expect any date before that, since the external beta has yet to begin, and they have stated that if there are significant issues found during it they will delay the game until they are fixed.
My birthday however is the 28th of December, so it would certainly be nice for the game to be out before that to be sure.
I would say the strategy guide is a pretty accurate guess. When wrath of the lich king was still waiting to be announced I remember viewing the strategy guide at gamestop and it correctly reflected the release date before blizzard announced it.

This makes me a lot excited! I hope it's the case with Diablo III, too.

Hearing someone joined just to respond is probably the biggest compliment I could get. Thanks.
