First.

And lame But whatever, blizz wouldn't show more until more was ready anyway, probably.

yea there gonna tear diablo3 apart and start over.... again... because they see how many people are pissed lol... j/p

Wow they just better not try to scrap Diablo 3

Any major announcements would be made at Blizzcon, not E3.

because blizzard hasn't changed it up at all recently?

2 games at WWI, never before

changing the art direction so kids QQ

blizzard is fucking crazy, maybe it is WoS at e3 and World of Diablo at blizzcon

^ when they break from the overmind they do

have you not played broodwar? one of the first things you do as the queen of blades is get them back under your control

and who said they need to be full on zerg

as I recall, zerg/toss hybrid at the end of bw, I am sure they have free will

and who is to say a celebrate isn't controlling your character? and you just think it is you doing the movement...

blizzard isn't above changing lore, remember that

i wouldn't mind blizzard at E3, they could bring something worth watching there. Then again that's why we have WWI and blizzcon.

Also it's now offical that xbox 360 is going casual to try to face the wii, so sad.

I know this is a super optimistic idea, but imagine blizzard decides to just say a few words near the end, like, "o and btw guys, Diablo 3 is already in stores now"
they would just say it as if its nothing too... lol xD I could see a revolution start over that.

anyways back down to earth here, I do wish they atleast reveal one more class, we dont want any videos, at least the class concept

"Diablo : Heaven sins" or "Diablo : Hell Rising" ) would be released somewhere in the end of 2010 - when D3 start to fading away

heh doesn't seem to be very long lasting game this D3 if it already starts fading away in 1 year (if they release it next year) I hope at least 2-3 years before expansion if there will be any. If the game is entertaining enough and large enough it might not even need xpack, at least if the next game of this series would be some MMO.

I still find it weird that Blizzard did not show any games at all - maybe they were only announcing games and Blizzard didn't have anything to announce?

Umh - None game developer company would show 4th series of one game , before release the 3rd one.
This would be a tombstone for D3 , if they show D4.
World of Diablo ( -i prefer something different anyway - like : "Diablo : Heaven sins" or "Diablo : Hell Rising" ) would be released somewhere in the end of 2010 - when D3 start to fading away.
So - here - what i think : Blizzard see fading WoW, see and opportunity in 3D FP RPG MMORPG - because there is none good at this point , and i think they will do something in this direction.
Let's only hope that is not so stuped rpg as hellgate was. imao !

So, according to you... Diablo III will start to fade away between 0-1 years after it's release (providing it's released in '09) ?

I only find it weird that Activision even held a press conference considering that both Activision and Blizzard had dropped out of the ESA.

IMHO it doesn't really matter because I could care less about E3. It sucked ever since they made it more "efficient". So who really cares.

i hate activision i wish they never baught over blizzard, activision dumb down all there games to T ratings leaving the majority of players us 18+ disapointed with most of the outcomes.

They also keep everything under raps alot which is also frustrating lol

I realy doubt they realease this year. There will be WotLK and most likely SC2. Or SC2 could be early next year. So they are releasing all 3 games in 1 year? What will the release in the next 2 years.. nothing.

Doom3 was bad game thats why it was dissapointing. Hey we waited diablo3 announcement for at least 5 years we should easily be able to wait the release for 1 -2 years. You are pretty unpatient if you can't wait ½ a year.

Quote from "s0ur" »

They probably won't release anything this year, but your point doesn't prove anything.
Please remind me which blizz game was released after 2004? (expansions not included)
Isn't that 4 years already?

Well I did say WotLK that is expansion and BC came in 2007. I did say 3 games but should have said 3 products I guess. 2004(2005 in eu) Wow,2007(BC),2008(probably wotlk or early 2009). Sc2 2009(or 2008? who knows), D3 2009 or 10?

Well in anyways SC 2 will come before D3. IIRC Bashiok said something about battlenet 2 coming with sc2. And if sc2 is end of this year or early next year I don't see d3 fitting into this year also.

This whole hype thing and epic ass waiting will ruin the games.

You ever see a movie hyped to hell and back? You remember when you were disappointed?

You ever have people tellin' you about a gift or surprise they got you, how much you're going to love it?

You remember how you just only liked it?

When you expect a lot, but you only just get more... it isn't the same.

Blizzard has better make Diablo III so good that they can't possibly make any games in the future because they will dim in comparison. Basically, ruining their career by making Diablo III so good.
Same for SC2. When you wait, and you hype, and you suspense, you expect it to be for a good reason.

That's why I always watch movies expecting them to suck ass. They're always better.
All this waiting is ridiculous. For what? Everyone to run to the stores immediately?
Do you know why? The past 5 years, every PC and console game has been - "I'll wait for my buddy to buy it and see if I like it at his place."
Blizz wants people simultaneously rushing for the stores, so that even if you hate it, you've still bought it.
I'd bet some money they're either already done or so close it's a joke.
It's being a traitor in a way, waiting just for the intent on maximizing potential profit.

I've grown extremely tired in only a few weeks of waiting.
One 20 minute video, some vague posts by Bashiok on nothing short of minor and insignificant...
and we're to expect to wait another 6 months just to hear some more hype only to wait longer?
Ridiculous. All the reading I went through, all the context clues, basically all the fuck ups they made in covering their tracks have dropped serious clues to anyone specializing in documents that Diablo III is very near complete. Whether that means staff debates on the definition of complete, or a lot of staff taking vacation reducing manpower by 20 strong, or by proof-reading, AKA "polishing" it over, whether those are reasons for all of this unnecessary waiting... there is no doubt in my mind they are close.

Act I being finished, of which if is true that with 5.5 years, they must have a few more.
All heroes finished.
Content all that is left.
Complex compound-clues needing connection between various and far spread, seemingly unrelated articles and lores.
NPCs confidently placed in the storyline, meaning unless second guesses arise, their role in the plot is already complete.

As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if all of this announcing was to wait for all the bitching and admiring, to gauge what needs improvement to further the satiation of admirers, and to accommodate those that are unhappy. What I mean is, I wouldn't be surprised if they are finished in their eyes, but just making sure the fans agree - giving us time to come up with ideas that we naturally need time to come up with, and then releasing the game.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, I'd be impressed if Blizzard intended to implement fan suggestions into Diablo 3.

Polishing can take a long time. Why do you think Blizzard's games are so famous. They don't particularly innovate or add new mechanics to their various genres. They're famous because Blizzard takes the time to make games that are very fun, extremely well balanced and polished to perfection so that they have less bugs than several other games combined.

Although, in all fairness, D3 does look like a pretty innovative RPG, from what I've seen so far.
