It seems that they haven't really gotten all of the voice actors for DIII down, wtf...?
Perhaps release is alot further away than we hoped.

Recording voice acting is real fast. It doesn't take so much time as it takes money (studio time and hiring actors). It's not like you have to iterate for weeks on something Deckard Cain has to say once the script has been written (which is probably long done). The actors are professionals and it takes a couple takes max most of the time to get a good one. Choosing the proper voices and stuff takes more time.

You can rest assured that voice acting won't be what delays Diablo III if anything. However, I'm super skeptical about a June release. Something like November 2011 seems more plausible.

Kinect? Oh god no! I have nothing against motion controllers, using your body as a controller works for games like bowling, tennis, etc. But when you extend it to swinging a virtual sword or casting your virtual spells... well you end up looking ridiculous and your usual hardcore gaming experience is reduced to swinging your arms and making spirals with your head... It is also not accurate, not fast paced (unless you control by moving your fingers... but wait, that is already done with regular controllers...), and a lot of compromises have to be made for the game to work.

A few problems for a Kinect Diablo:
1. Targeting a specific enemy.
2. How to spam spells.
3. How to cast different spells.
4. How to cast spells in a direction.

Obviously you need something for the direction, probably one of your hands, that leaves one hand/arm to control all spells, etc. I really don't see it working ^^

i hope it wont be hostility based, like in the previous games, though.

Why not? I think that the hostility based PvP was fine.
