They say that they know something about a secret game from a prominent developer, but they won't tell even if hell freezes or if cows give beer...
They allready saw pictures.

What do you think? I hope it wasn't posted allready.

imo this is the best hint we got in several weeks, even most comments guess its about our game.

on the other side, does anybody know anything about this website, could their info be relevant?

Is that in German? Can anyone tell an ignorant America what it says?

[ov3erlord]

the quote on the top from sonnensturm actually summarizes what it says. and its german thank God i learned it years back

look at his quote, it says what it is.

this is indeed interesting :)

*edit: damn ov3erlord you beat me to it :p

[ÆçïδRåîñ]

Ok I was just thinking there was more to it then that. But I put it in to one of those free translators and that’s about it. Look very promising granted that cows giving beer isn't a common German phrase.

We know something you do not know!



on a person we know we learned secret information about a hotly anticipated game of a very popular computer games developer, whose name we do not call. Sounds sauwichtig, right? Let's say this: The idea is that our bed sheets wet. Do you have ideas? Then they post in the comment area. Even if the hell zufriert or cows begin to give beer - we betray nothing!

[ov3erlord]

ok, so here is a more polished translation from me:

30.05.2008 10:55 - We found out some secret information about a much awaited game, from a very well known game developer, whom we can't name. Sounds extremely important, doesn't it? Let's say: Pure thought about it makes our bedsheets wet. Got any ideas? Post them in the comments. Even if the hell froze and cows gave beer - we would spill nothig out!

pcaction.de thinks: HAHA! we have seent the pictures and you have not!

Latest news: A once tought to be extinct hype volcano just erupted.

We advise: DUCK AND COVER!!! and the lava torrent of hype will not kill you :p

[Azoruk]

We're just picking at straws, like we always do.

Thanks for posting this.. but.. it's clear that we won't get any hard proof of D3 until its announcement, whenever it may be. (Hopefully at WWI)

[ov3erlord]

two articles hinting at diablo 3 in past two weeks is much better than no article past 8 years. if wwi will be the ONE, we should see more like these poping out around the web soon.

[grudgeoms]

I can't believe it until I see something DIII related at WWI

what was the other article?

[bigtpsychoboy]

in my mind diablo 3 is already announced and if they don't talk about it at WWI i will just cover my ears and go BLAH BLAH BLAH and pretend they are talking about it :P

i had in mind the pcgamer article. yes, it was denied, but so was diablo being in production by blizzard

[Xapti]

The game doesn't need confirmation, does it? do people not have enough logical sense or faith (heh, perhaps the one case where they agree, but that's another topic) to know that there will eventually be a diablo 3? hearing rumors of it existing is irrelevant... when the game goes in public testing and/or is released is when you should care a bit more :)

[Sandman53]

There is not a lot to go on to think this is related to Diablo 3, cows and hell? We all thought the censored word was hell in the pcgamer article and that it meant they went to Blizzard.

Again it's a vague article that can point to a lot of games, or a game we have never heard of before. I think if you going to link things to Diablo 3 there needs to be a more solid rope. Some of these are just strings barely holding on.

everything on this site is vague. we have no evident info yet and that leaves us to speculation. and that is what this site is all about.

anyway, cows and hell is pointing to diablo much more than for example sheep and steel, or cars and streets, but much less than if they said tyrael and tristram..

dunno why, i just think there must be some reason why they chose these two lines as these connotations are not often used metaphores in german language. (correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not a native german speaker)

I think this thread should be named something else to attract more viewers.
