VideoGamer.com: If you could single out one feature of D3 to convince someone to by the game, what would it be? What's the coolest feature?
JW: The coolest announced feature? (laughter) There are a few we've not revealed yet! For me it would have to be the character classes. I know that's kind of an odd feature to pick, but one of the things that was a hallmark of D2, one of the thigns that made it a favourite game of mine, was that the character classes were extremely archetypal. They were the kind of characters that people inherently wanted to play - they were very visceral, very powerful, very satisfying. Running through the world and hitting stuff with an axe felt really good. So when we started on D3 one of our main objectives was not to match the game on that front, but to surpass it. And that's something I feel we've really accomplished when you look at the character classes, the skillset we've put on them is really imaginative, very over the top and original. We've really tried to go for classes that are not your standard warrior, rogue, mage. We're not trying to provide something that's unknown to the players, but rather classes that are not what you'd typically see.
Well, we know he's not lying about that. Zombie Wall
You forgot kekeke.
Haha, anyway, that's really awesome.
Oh, I didn't take his question that way. I thought he asked why I had said what I said, not what the interviewer meant by that question.
In that note, it was just an ironic remark, a joke based on JW's comments of him really liking GTA IV( grand auto theft IV).
And you don't need to be north American or European in order to understand the joke. I'm Hispanic and have been living in US for a little over 7 years now. You just need to understand the language.
How the hell can we trust this guy?He's proven lier now.
I look forward to seeing which class is announced next. Not so much to the following whining from fanboys of the class it replaces. I'm gonna go ahead and guess paladin.
This is what he said in this interview.
Learn to read and stop being an asshole please.
P.S. You can have favorite games. Not ONE favorite game. Diablo might be a favorite.
Yeah yeah you're right.In same interview he said world of warcraft was his favourite and then D2 had become his favourite.
There must be ONE favourite.If he said "wow is one of my favourite games or d2 is one of my favourite games" then it could be true...
OK.If you're right how the hell does same person love both wow and d2 equally.I smell bullshit.
Nice interview I hadn't gotten around to reading it yet until a few minutes ago.
If it was a new class, there wouldn't be that disconnect from D2, with the D3 "Barbarian" using magic. I would have loved a character like the D3 barb by any other name, but it just feels like fan service to have a character that plays different, but called the same thing. It just hurts the integrity of the story.
(I am not saying that they should have kept the Barbarian true to his D2 roots. I actually thought he was rather boring)
If Barbarians suck then money grows on trees.
Very cool interview though.
A barbarian with his sword and speak to the car driver like "Hey guy, just get out of the car"?
Oh,I can not imaging this
