That's not true. An uncritical, fawning tone is maintained, because everyone knows that Blizz PR freezes out everyone that doesn't toe that line (like incgamers). There's nothing wrong with that, but please don't insult peoples' intelligence by pretending otherwise.
not true at all, this may have been the case awhile back. But news posts are 100% news now, and we have been maken sure threads dont get locked just because they disagree with blizzard, (hints the "Diablo 3 is a joke") Thread along with a lot of others recently. But that was refering to my "green title" Gheed, which, blizzard has nothing to do about =P
But this is not the place to bring this up, going way off topic now.
This is GOOD news: "We should expect more details of a release in the upcoming weeks." How is this not good news? They actually mention that they will inform us of release date in the following weeks.This is as close as we have ever gotten to them actually stating the release date.
As for the Q2 not possibly being early 20120 I am confused by people's anger.
Don't tell me you were still expecting the game to be in your hands by Q1, it is Feb10 now, Q1 ends in March right?
Additionally "EARLY" just means what people perceive it to mean.
If blizz had said "Our definition of early is the first 4 months, and we will release the game in that time"
And then they messed up I would understand. But they didn't say that.
They just said they are trying to get the game out in "early" 2012. That is all.. "TRY"
I view early as anywhere until april, maybe even May.
So please, quit your complaining. Because the people complaining today, will be the ones complaining if the game comes out too early and isn't up to their standards.

Actually Incgamers was removed from the fansite programs because of their Starcraft site leaking information early, last I read. It wasn't anything to do with speaking out against Blizzard.
I mean people for the most part here ARE fans though so it's not uncommon to see positive posts from fans.
Anyways PM me if you have any questions we are really derailing this thread.
Wow. You're looking at what was probably a leak from one artist's portfolio - who probably had zero interest in showing off things like lighting, game design, skill fx, animation - and assuming that it was a game. Not just assuming that, but assuming that the lack of other material unseen by the public had nothing to do with development secrecy, and everything to do with it just being bad.
That's impressive. What's even more impressive is that you're far from alone.
And some wonder why Bliz seems to troll the fanbase as if they have no respect for it?
Oh yes. An artist who'd want those beautiful screenshots in his portfolio. Do you even know what portfolio means? Which part of the things in those screenshots is worthy of being in someone's portfolio? And who said anything about development secrecy? I was completely agreeing that it was utterly bad. The game had been in development for some time and that sh*t was all they had done. It's trash.
"Yeah, I made that tiny ugly lamp in the corner over there among the other ugly stuff other people did. See? Skill."
I know, because I saw it on the internet and a bunch of my invisible buddies agreed!
That is a picture of Bulgaria, right? I mean, I don't know exactly where, or when... but it is, right? A single subjective image captures the whole thing perfectly!

I've been to Sofia, Bulgaria. While not as dreadful as that picture, it was pretty awful.
*Puts on tinfoil hat*
I think what they are doing is waiting until Torchlight 2 is announced for released then releasing at the same time to swamp any potential for rivalry in later years by causing this new game to flop.

Great job. This is not our only leaked screenshot though.
I honestly can't relate to the impatience here. If anything I would be happy if it got delayed again. This shows Blizzard has the integrity to prioritize quality of the game over anything and that it shouldn't be released untill its done. Thus the termSoon™ existed. They wouldn't be Blizzard as we know it anymore if they didn't live by it.
If you are a true Diablo 3 fan, you should be worried if they suddenly want to bring the game sooner then expected. Considering the recent content removal.
As for confidence, and comparing Blizzard North to the current Blizzard? Really? This has been done to death and it seems disrespectfull to discredit the hard work of the current Blizzard dev team.
Take a look at Starcraft 2, the game has been worked on it with passion and its imo one of the best PC games ever. They still got talent in making excellent games. You should be more worried about Activision's Bobby Kotick who will put a deadline on it, and I wonder if the recent content removal was of their influence.
Eitherway a late june release isn't out of the qeustion, But there is still no official release date provided. Starcraft 2 had its release date anounced just a month before the games actual release date.
So what if Blizzard said well this game just went in the wrong direction in 2008 so were going to scrap 4 years of progress to get this done right! Then they guranteed the greatest game ever in 2016, and delayed it 3 more times till 2019, you would be totally fine with that? Worlds gonna end and we may not get to even play this game for 6 months!
indeed, i have to keep drilling it into people that MoP is due in the summer, and if it does hit its release date target, a diablo release date of late may / june would be a no no, so it would be a apr / early may possible date
Just want to add here that WoW still has this pvp season to end and then likely a whole other season. That could easily be up till ~8 months from now till MoP releases by that schedule (which they've quite closely followed in the past, although they do change season durations as they wish, but they're always at least a couple of months.)
Why would there be another PvP season? The PvP gear is already ilvl 390 & 403! Another season would put items on par with normal DS gear. Thats not gonna happen.

As much as I want it to be in the Summer, they haven't even announced the Beta yet, only thing we know is that Annual pass members get instant access to the beta so they can further complain and how the game sucks, and they wasted there money..blah blah blah.
As for Diablo 3, Molster is right Early/Mid/Late, if they announce the release date in the next 2 weeks, it will still be out by the end of April, that is still early in my eyes, they could have said...hey guys, sorry it's been delayed again but don't worry it will be out "SOON" (Suck On Our Nuts)
But this is not the place to bring this up, going way off topic now.
Agreed. And your honest belief that incgamers was accidentally left off the pr list last summer, while dfans was invited, is noted.

June 30 is a virtual lock, for a couple reasons. early sep for MoP, late nov for HotS.
Yeah, the choosing of the word 'targeting' is what bothers me the most. I hope they clarify on that matter in the 'upcoming weeks'

I can do that too!
A few thousand years of history and all of Bulgaria looks like this:

Yea god forbid. They better hold until september. ><
lol, point taken. But it probably didn't look much like that river. Well, I hope it didn't.

The definition of Q2 is pretty clear....no one is debating that.
