I was just paging through some recent news on the CG in Liepzig and was thinking that Blizzard may be trying to unleash a new title on each major game-playing content. If this holds true, we have a Diablo 3 scenario on our hands for Europe. Observe.

SC2 - Korea (Asia)
WotlK - America (North America)

that leaves the third of Blizzard's major consumer population and one that would be thrilled to have a game unveiled on their soil

Diablo 3 - Germany (Europe)

What do you think? I'm just rekindling my optimism here. Also, I haven't seen much coverage of the event as of yet, I know IGN has a dedicated page for it. Post some links if you find coverage people!

Yes, he knows just as much as Mike, perhaps more since he makes his involvement with the teams much greater.

... you know the majority of the big wigs behind diablo and diablo 2 left Blizz to make this game right? The only people left from Blizz North that still work for Blizzard are a few concept designers and little dudes.

"Our intent from the beginning was to provide gamers an online experience not just comparable to, but even better than, what they got from Diablo II." Bill Roper - Flagship Studios - Former Blizz North VP and Diablo enthusiast

Now doesn't that sound like someone who actually cares to make a new diablo game?
Don't be a slave to a title man, this is Diablo 3, just in a new skin.

Also, if you want an idea of what you can wait for for the title diablo 3 from Blizz, take a look at patch 1.11 and compare it to patch 1.10, Blizz north disbanded after 1.10 pretty much and 1.11 was done, if you notice, rather poorly without their guidance... the runewords made are BS and no one will ever use them, and they are the only items introduced to the patch other then the torch (I'll mention that shortly). The pandemonium event is cool, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table except the torch - the one good thing in the patch, which if you look closely, is just an anni with a random character class skill and a few minor goodies that, in truth, dont make a difference. (Not bashing the pandemonium event... thats freaking fun as hell! but the bosses should have a little more then like 1 new attack and buffed stats.)
If you look back at patch 1.10, the items were god, uber diablo was brilliantly done (you're fighting shenk in hell and all of a sudden... Diablo walks the earth... POOF, WTF!?!? dead :rolleyes:)
Serriously, if you look at how much effort they put into making patch 1.11 and how much effort Blizz North put into 1.10, it says wonders about their devotion to making the game better then it already was.
It also gives you an idea of what to expect for Diablo 3. Do you remember when the rumor went around about the diablo game being done... but not fun? So they crapped it to start again? Probably true I think, and I wonder why... The origeonal minds behind it are gone to better things!
Just my two cents, this is how I see it, agree with me or don't. IMHO Hellgate is Diablo 3 with a new name.
