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!
Certainly more than few good points here.
I too prefer the cautiously optimistic (if not regularly optimistic) stance. It's a lot better than walking around, eyes downcast, saying "fuck fuck fuck" all the time.
Just watched this one as well as the Paul Sams interview before Blizzcon. I think I enjoyed Pauls reaction the best. " Team 3? What's Team 3. " So anyone find out where the other diablos were announced. Been looking into it, but so far have only found dates; not where they were announced at. GC is getting closer and I still hold my bet on that being the announcement.
That said, were there any major pseudo-public game conventions in the late 90s or was it all more or less an industry word-of-mouth procedure? I remember printed magazines having a large influence on the exposure of new games to the public. Maybe ... just maybe ... I have some original issues of Computer Games Strategy Plus tucked away somewhere, but those may have long since been recycled. I will, however, comb through the archives for the edification of the Diablo3.com crowd
EDIT: Oh, shit, I just found my copy of King's Quest VI. Nostalgia setting in...
All right, now havn't I been pouring gooey mountains of this into your gullets since this tread started?
First 5 Emails will get them...
And another thing, I tested Hell Gate London, and for thoes who think it's a RTS.. It now makes me giggle.. It has more RPG qualities than the Diablo games. Items (Rare and other Levels), Classes, Skills, Levels, Some Monsters are (yellow, "special ability") And the graphics are unbeleiveable. I am very impressed. Unforunately I do not have any invites for that..
Im not supposed to so im going to wait untill I play around more before I post Caps of the game. =)
Like I said, I just started so Im sure there is much more to show but, Here is what to expect in the alpha version. Im glad this game is what it is, It Is going to surprise people. enjoy
For mythos please

Hit me the fuck up!
Guys Hellgate is so awesome I don't even know what to say. lol Just did my frist quest. Youll need a $150+ graphics card.. as of now.. so like a 300+ graphics card about a year ago. To even get the thing to run...
I have to tell you people too honestly... Mythos has alot of diablo features, game play, and style, some wow ideas as well, and very very addictive. Hallgate hits the nail on the head, is that Dark, type hack and slash game that you got from Diablo, I shit you not. that Audio is sweet, Game play is very different First persion point of view, take a litle bit to get use to it, once you get it down youll adapt and It makes the gameplay better. Graphics are incredible. There are different colored wepons/ rare, unique, magic. 5 colors I beleive. (Alike Mythos)
They are both awesome games.
Also, if you have one more, my brother (he lives in another house) would love to have a beta invite too. His email is Hunter24seven@yahoo.com.
Thanks man =P Been waiting a long time for you to get more invites, I hope I get hooked =P
How is Hellgate by the way? I am going to buy Hellgate asap when it launches. It looks sick.
Im at a loss for words at the moment.. Nothing seems to be good enough lol.
Ill post more caps tomorrow. Ansewer questions of anyone has any.
