Hey everyone. Hope you guys were able to catch the online blogging by Mockery and all the announcements on the front page by myself. With BlizzCon over and everyone having a smile on their face that attended...overall was a big success for Blizzard. Here is a recap for everything that has happened.
Shown here at 6am PST on the 10th of October, people already awaiting to get inside BlizzCon.
With gigantic posters and art work and banners that filled the hall, all people entering the convention felt amazed as they were now in their own world they all know too well.
Shown above, is a long time Diablo Fanatic Gary Jones, whom repetitively played the Diablo III Demo. "That game is bad ass!", Gary states as he cannot bare the arrival of the game to stores.
Looming over the Diablo III demo area, is the Diablo III sign hanging above so Diablo Fenatics know where to go.
With over 15,000 people attending, halls filled up quick and events held were jam-packed with eager Blizzard Fans.

Shown here, Diablo panelist explain to all their approach with Diablo III and what they expect to come. Areas of discussion such as interactive 3d environment that is being included into Diablo III as well as discussing the comparison of Diablo I's darkness and Diablo II's gameplay being combined into Diablo III.
With everyone's expectation met and satisfied by the outcome of BlizzCon of 2008. We are ready and set for Blizzard to release more news and announcements for the game we all love in due time. This is a major step for us and the beginning for the arrival once again, the Diablo franchise.

Quesion: Is is just me, or are there 5 classes shown in the screenshot of Mr. Jones playing D3? What could the other ones be?

M = Male | F = Female
M Wizard (Unplayable in demo)
F Wizard
F Barbarian

Giving to me was a press kit and here are some more information for you to eat up
First announced at the Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational in June 2008, Diablo III picks up twenty years after the events of Diablo II, as a fiery omen from the sky heralds the return of dark forces to the mortal realm. Players will take on the role of one of five champions, collecting powerful spells, abilities, and items as they clash with twisted demons and explore the dark corners of the world of
Sanctuary. Diablo III will feature unique random scripted quests, destructible environments, and cooperative and competitive play online through an upgraded version of Blizzard Entertainment’s Battle.net® gaming service.
Blizzard is developing Diablo III for simultaneous release on the Windows® and Macintosh® platforms. For more information, visit the official website at www.blizzard.com/diablo3. With multiple games in development, Blizzard Entertainment has numerous positions currently available. Visit www.blizzard.com/jobs for more information and to learn how to apply.
Here are some more pics of BlizzCon

Now that the D3 site has been updated with the wizard movie and details. They also have the Caldeum page up there. Is it just me or were those two guys up the top not there before? It's all animated now. i don't remember it looking like that..
hahaha. they were trying to tick off diablo fans alittle, in a friendly sort of way xD. I think it was their response to the complaints that it is not dark enough lawl

lol, you're right. They werent there before... weird. Some guard looking dude with some other dude. hm..
possibly another character? the guard looks like a male version of the amazon
lol, na. I think those are just npcs that will be in caldeum, like guards of caldeum. It would be really sloppy of them to put some character up like that.
That last artwork of the Kraken-like demon reminds of the gargantuan demon used by Lilith in Scales of the Serpent... wasn't Thonos (sp?) it's name? Looks like the book influences are coming trough. :cool:

No you just have bad eyes. 2 genders for each of the released class = 6 avatars showing.
Those are the female and male variations...
Actually there are 3 classes in the screenshot and 6 characters. One of each class/sex.
In the demo they only had three classes, what you see (L 2 R):
M = Male | F = Female
M Wizard (Unplayable in demo)
F Wizard
F Barbarian
M Barbarian
M Witch Doctor
