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!
Warcraft 1 came out in 1994
10 Year anniversary = WoW - 2004
Starcraft came out in 1998
10 year anniversary = SC2 (expected release date 2008)
Diablo came out in late 1996 but Hellfire was released in 1997.
10 year anniversary = Diablo 3 (at least an announcement for 2007)
Blizzard HAS to make at least an announcement this year of another Diablo title. To allow its 10 year anniversary to pass without even a word is a disgrace!!! (Then again maybe Diablo's anniversary already passed at the end of 2006.... Blizzard, you disappoint me....)
hmmmm... We'd actually still be within that 10 year time frame until December of 2007.
Is it even possible that there is a 2007 release date? If there was, it would be Blizzard's biggest suprise to date.
A decade of Diablo is upon us!!!!
I prefer Blizzard to play it safe and just go with what has been proven in the Diablo games because then we know we would be getting a great game.
Then again, "No guts, no glory."
Think about it:
Factions - Heaven------- Hell
Species - Angel(maybe?) Demon
----------Human--------Skeleton
----------Muse(sp?) -----Gargoyle(lol i dunno i ran outa ideas)
And then there can be classes just like in WoW but have them more like D2 classes and such.. im sure blizz could be creative as far as species and i know they can come up with some cool skills..(but theyd have to limit angel flying haha)
Man all this talk about it makes me want to play D2.. but i dont wnuna mess with the trading game on Bnet haha(level 87 light sorc.. no sojs or griffs yet so my gear is lacking
And Diablo will not be MMO I assure you.
That sounds like an idea but what about the people that buy the game 2 years after it comes out? That would be a problem. And Blizzard would need many people on the job to post updates every two months. And what if Diablo III doesn't sell as well (I doubt it however), then they will have to pay money to keep updating it when not many people buy it. An MMO Diablo can go anywhere and if Blizzard wants to play it safe they will make Diablo III like Diablo II and not MMO like WoW. Just another idea.
