Well we have seen a lot come out of blizzard as far as reveals go but it still seems shaky that the barb from d2 and 3 are the same person i heard that they plan to make them 2 separate people but no confirmation as of yet
can anyone shed a little light?
like u said, no confirmation yet. bliz is very strict about spilling lore and spoiling future changes. they will give u minimum info, maximum impatience.
Pretty sure Bashiok somewhere in the last year or so stated that they had scrapped the idea of the Barb being the same from D2 because they didn't like one character being that unique from the others, plus they would have to do a bigger change on the female/male barb backstory.
Wouldn't it also be very strange for the Barbarian who killed Diablo the last time around to suddenly not have any of his gear, remember any of his abilities or anything like that? How would they explain that? Amnesia is a little overdone for Diablo 3 I would think.
It was a cool idea, but I have to think they will scrap it when they realize how strange that would make the lore. On the other hand, if they just don't address that issue, or find some way to explain it, like maybe he hung up his loot sometime, or it was destroyed by the Worldstone and he was knocked into the future.
It's Blizzard, they can find a way to make almost any ridiculous thing sound perfectly reasonable.

personally i wouldnt mind D3 barb being the same guy as the D2 barb. It could possibly lend some insight as to what went on in those 20 years that have past. Realistically it would be one of the better ways of segueing into the new came. A carefully woven in backstory with one of the fan favorites.
can anyone shed a little light?
yet i never heard any changes as of yet
