Diablo III Release "still a long way to go"
"I don't know how far out it is, but it's still fairly early in development. I think when people see it, it feels so polished and so finished, but the reality is we have a very small portion of the game done right now," Pardo explained.
He added: "A lot of the way we develop is: We wanna make sure the game is really fun and the visual fidelity we want ... we wanna make sure we have a small area that feels really done so we know what to build. So even though it looks really complete a lot of the content is just not there. We have a long ways to go to build each of the different acts in the game and put in all the quests and all the different monsters. We have a lot of development ahead of us before it will be something ... It will definitely be out after StarCraft II."
It looks like we'll be waiting for Diablo III for awhile yet. Let's just pray that Starcraft II comes out within the next few months.
Thanks gyrextt for spotting this in an interview I'd read but kinda skimmed over.
Damn I've been away to long, there was a guy here and I can't for the life of me remember who he is nut hehas informed us the date of release is 09/09/09. Not sure if it's at 9am though. I never asked. I do hope he is right though.
I've chosen not to partake in the rampant over-analysis that is occurring with this game, so I don't know if that release-date is possible, but I like it better than a 2010 date (just because I'm jonesin' to play); as long as it doesn't compromise Blizzard's standards.
Waiting does get exasperating, but I like the fact that they refuse to rush a game to completion.
A huge delay like that will only do harm to it.
Isnt that from the fucked up Dol rune theory? LOL probably not true...tho if it was that would be awesome and i hope it is
Exacly what i mean.
I still don't understand why people still believe in that, even though by the time it was posted here on Diablofans the author of that theory had already said it was all just a big joke he felt like playing on the Diablo community.
Also, all the numbers behind his theory where made up.
I expect they 've learn the lesson with SCG. Take 10 years to produce a game, no matter what the hell is that game, is ridiculous.
I hope your WRONG>.....DEAD WRONG
So don't think that Blizzard becoming bigger will make Diablo III come out sooner, because it won't.
If they release D3 in 2011, then the game will look weak....Blizzard doesnt want that.
