Blizzard Establishes "Team 3"
Gamasutra reports that Frank Pearce of Blizzard Entertainment has just confirmed that the company is working hard on another new title... and it's not World of Warcraft or Starcraft II. 40 people are working on Starcraft II and 40 people are working on this secret Team 3 project, so it's definitely another big one. According to Pearce, "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."
With Blizzcon '07 coming up this August 3-4, people have high hopes that this mystery game will be unveiled.
Hmmm, Team 3... Diablo 3... could it be? Join our discussion!
I think so!
And of course, that's what Blizzard will give us. They aren't stupid. They know the majority of Diablo fans love the old classic hack'n'slash single player quest and if they plan to make a Diablo-based MMO, they will wait until we are ready.
I don't really think they should change it man, I feel ya on that, keep going with the Diablo as It was.
twice the items, 10 acts, 20 players per game.. Make it bad ass.
Besides Blizzard doesnt want to be known as a "MMO" company, They want a good "RTS" and they want a good "RPG" in their repitua.
Rob Pador or something was talking about it.. Let me try and find the youtube movie, I think it was taken down.
I alsot want to say Hell Gate Londing is looking pretty sick....

The Maps are enormous, but I wont be paying monthly for it. Im sure many are in the same boat.
Here it is... Listen to the ending and in general,

The company more than likely feels the same about Diablo, knowing that it was more successfull than startcraft.
I predict there will be three big events at the upcoming Blizzcon:
1.) Starcraft II playable demos.
2.) WoW expansion 2 announcement. We'll get a nice overview of the whole thing, with information on new classes, game content, etc, and the beta keys.
3.) Diablo 3 (or Diablo MMO) announcement! No major details will be revealed, but we'll probably see a really awesome intro cinematic and maybe a few shots of the gameplay along with the logo.
go to blizzcon's website. look at teh headliner.
they talk of 3 series in it.
there is WoW peeps. and then there is Starcraft.
and u can see the prince of darkness in the upper right hand corner
I want it too, one more D-style...just one more
However Blizzard wants another wallet of money so we're pretty much screwed.
edit:
Also There were rumors about Having 2 side-select (Good & Evil ), so if it's true There's no way We will be hosting Games.(One-single World).
like 'ever quest 2 ' , there is no "online" "world" in the name.
i hope diablo 3 can have regular updates based on battle.net but not a pay monthly game...
Oh at the blizzcon website off to the left (this slightly pissed me off for a moment) they only have WOW and SC2 listed they say nothing about diablo. Also in the banner, they only have one picture related to diablo and its not even a big one. It's like hiding behind everything.
Letting us know that while it's not in the spotlight, Diablo is still there and they won't forget us! Gogo Blizzcon announcement!
