Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
You don't put as much work as they have put into it and get shitty results. It's going to be an awesome game. Hell, even the demo was hella fun to play.
duke nukem?
anyway, if the game fails, I wont have any faith in blizzard.
Huge difference between the clusterfuck that is duke Nukem, and Diablo 3. Diablo 3 has been in development for a very long time just like duke yes, but its all been by the same company, with a vision for the game for the vast majority of the time, though i do believe an early internal version was said to have been 100% scrapped at one point and development started over. Also the transition from Blizzard North to just Blizzard was also probably a cause of some of the delays, but it largely was all the same project although many people involved changed in the process.
Duke Nukem was a clusterfuck of companies trying and failing to make the game, scrapping it, someone else starting over, going bankrupt, stopping development, or otherwise just not doing it right. Eventually it got picked up and released as a half-baked effort and it shows in the game. Its crap. But it sold due to hype alone as the vaporware game that eventually got released.
Diablo 3 has none of these issues. Could it suck? Sure, we wont know until we play it for a few days after its released(or in beta if you're lucky!) Yellowstone could also erupt tomorrow and wipe out most of life in America, but it probably won't. Diablo 3 could suck, but it probably won't.
Starcraft Ghost on the other hand...well lets not go there
if that happens,.... well i`m going back playing SC2. "Hell, its about time." XD men i loved Diablo and starcraft for years. and i live up to it until now :)its good to see D3. and "i guarantee to you it won`t suck."

Diablo 3 was originally created by Concor/Blizzard North. Blizzard then picked it up. It was then passed by two or three teams which, in their own right could be companies on their own.
Not exactly the same as the Duke, but pretty close.
I could be wrong about this, but didnt blizzard dropped a couple projects already because they "sucked" ? I remember something about SC:Ghost and some others, anyway thats just some rumors, i dont remember for sure.
I just dont think blizzard would give us an awful game, they know what they're doing.
There was Starcraft: Ghost and Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. I think I remember reading somewhere there was another Starcraft expansion besides Brood Wars that was canceled, but I don't remember where I read it at.

hmm the only confirmed expansion is SC ghost. i never heard or read article about other expansion in SC besides that.
D1 was darker than D2. But D2 was way better. I can't stand when people who rip it on just because it didn't have a constant "dark atmosphere". So what if it didn't match every single aspect that you expected, the developers cannot match every expectation that you have.
Additionally, I think it would get quite old if the game was like that on every single level.
In my opinion D2 is way better than D1, but I love both.
I am also sure that D3 will be better than D2. They put so much work into it. Unless they start selling legendary items at their official store than I am sure that it will be better.
Although I must say, as a SC:BW fan I was really disappointed by SC2. The campaign was awesome, but the multiplayer is a joke. Yes, I am in master league and I know what real balance is in multiplayer, and they just tried to do too much with it. They should have just stuck to the recipe :/
Sorry for the rant, but I am pretty opinionated on this matter.

Agreed Duke was horrible. waited forever for nothing!
I'm pretty sure 3DR didnt spended 100% of the time on duke nukem, blizzard on the other hand have a full group working ONLY on diablo 3.
Come on, look at how old duke nukem looked, engine, gameplan, gameplay, A.I and so on...
I don't know for sure if diablo III will rock but i do know that its not going to suck, worst case scenario it wont be as good as i'm hoping for. If that happen i'll be back to WoW, probably playing bf3 or w/e comes to mind, theres always something new to try (guild wars 2 looks promising).
not really, blizzard north started the dev, then they were shut down and blizz restarted all from scratch
pics from 2005 of original diablo 3
the game havnt benn in developpement for that long (they started working on the new D3 after 2005)
All of that progress was completely scrapped. That was the work by the Diablo II team. They trashed it all and started over. The only things they kept were some of the locations and, I'd imagine, some lore.

SC Ghost was not an expansion, it was a third person shooter for consoles.

Imagine if they released a book that essentially told what happened in the original D3. (Kinda like Warcraft: Lord of the Clans did for the game.)

I'm expecting a decent game, not terrible, but not great either.

I highly doubt D3 will suck, if you think it sucks then maybe you lost interest in the game itself?
