Fanbase of StarCraft is huge over in Korea.. True... But this is the 3rd of these "worldwide" conventions Blizzard is having, (regaurdless of a release or not)
Theoreticaly Blizzard will only announce a new release at a Convention, Blizzon, or E3. (not many oppertunitys)
Im saying, when their ready to release the info their going to do it ASAP at one of these events.
I wouldnt be to hastey to make that connection considering this.
Im talking about all the starcraft gossip =) Not to take anything away from thoes fans.
Blizzard has recently looked for 3 new devs for a next gen mmo, so sc2 comes out next, then diablo 3 will be an mmo, like always predicted, but thats my opinion :-0
Also, this is completly off the subject...but Diablo3 is being made for Playstation3 and Computer i think!
Although it is true that Blizzard has been at the table with Microsoft before for a console game.. Unless you have some evidence that, "I think" is actually, "I wish."
I have high hopes myself that this will be for Diablo 3. Without being able to name or confirm my sources, I can speculate that I might have seen what appear to be concept drawings for Diablo 3 on MIRC about 4 months ago.
April 27, 2007 - Blizzard has updated its job listings with several positions that will be working on a next-gen massively multiplayer online game (MMO). The publisher/developer is seeking a Lead Engine Programmer, Lead Tools Programmer, and a Lead Technical Artist. Begin speculation…now.
The term "next-gen" is typically used to describe consoles, and World of Warcraft has been rumored to be heading to the Xbox 360. Of course, Blizzard's VP of Development Itzik Ben Bassat told Empire Magazine a few months ago that the company's next MMO would not be another WoW. The Lead Engine Programmer Blizzard is seeking will be in charge of developing an entirely new engine for this next-gen MMO, and a port of WoW would likely use a tweaked version of the existing engine.
If my reading comprehension serves me correctly, that is suggesting that Diablo3 could be an MMO, and possibly on a console... if this is true I am going to be very put out.
I have been following rumor after rumor for a long time trying to figure out if a D3 would ever be made. So far this is the closest to a reality, and now i am greatly anticipating the May 19th announcement.
they are all rumors. blizzard would be wise in not making diablo 3 into a console game, because they automatically lose most of their following. people invest in computers for gaming, and they wont invest into something else for just one thing. diablo 3 will be made, just a matter of when. hopefully we can have it announced next month and see what kinds of things are in it at blizzcon.

I highly doubt it would be a console only game. So why would it hurt? I got into Diablo through Diablo 1 on the PS. After a friend and I played it, we decided to get the PC version for the online features. Though consoles these days can go online, they still lack a mouse and keyboard.
I'd be happy if it was released on both pc and "next-gen" consoles. That would basically mean that players will be allowed to play single player. That could rule out MMORPG, sticking to true Diablo style. Then again, wasn't there a Final Fantasy released on consoles that was online only? Fuck, I don't know anymore.
I really hope this to be announced game is Diablo 3. I've never played Starcraft, nor have I ever wanted to. Damn you Blizzard, just make us fucking happy already!
Ok well, they have been looking for a next gen mmo squad to hire, though next gen is meant for xbox and ps3, it could also describe dx10. But lets look at an mmo that is nextgen and pc, huxley. Inspired by starcraft (look at the hybrids and weapons) it gave a feeling of "Oh if they made world of sc, thats how it would be." D3 hints have been running around for a while, so at first that is what i thought it would be, but then I saw Blizz patching sc with a quite large patch for custom leagues, perhaps preparing for a flood of people coming back after their announcement? BUT WHATEVER it is guys, it will be amazing, Blizzard wont let anyone down, just be calm and don't hope for anything but that blizz announces something on may 16th. That way you wont be dissapointed when the thing you hoped for was something else, because this is not a time for betting against each other on what will release, it is party time. NO INTERNET ARGUEMENTS EDIT* Huxely is made by the South Korean company Webzen who has made 3 mmos all coming to the US soon, Could this be Blizzards ' Lulz do you think you can compete with the cookie monster?' I think it could be.

Its true that a console version of D3 would not be as good as PC game, but if they team up with microsoft to make it, it could very well be a "Windows Live" title, meaning it will be for both PC and Console, and the two could interact.
according to Blizzard there wont be a console title from them in near future. Now we all know Blizzard's "near future" dont we? Maybe in the next console generation

that is the stupidest sh*t ive ever read. blizzard only works for profit. they dont care how badly a small population like the one that posts on this forum want diablo. That is why they headed WoW in the direction it is at now. Obviously, there are more younger and more stupid players, than there are experienced veterans. most likekly they will release a starcraft, and if a diablo 3 gets released , dont expect it to be something like baldur's gate 2 , or something based on advanced D&D. Also I have a strong and hostile feeling that it with be a pay per month type of bullcrap...

there would be the odd similarity to BG in a new diablo game, but i think it would have more in common with WOW, than any game from Bioware Corp.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

exactly, and that is the problem itself. I dont want another world of warcraft, if i wanted a game like that i could just play silkroad or something similar for free. What im looking for in the next diablo is something almost exactly the same as the original diablo. The evil and darkness of the first game is something that I have not seen matched in any other game. The storyline was flawess and drew me in. There have been many times when i have played games and said to myself, "give me a break..." , but that has never happened in diablo. A good RPG extends beyond an immense world with items, quests, and amazing graphics. That was Diablo. Diablo 2 seemed to carry many of the traits of its ancestor but I did not enjoy it as much as the original. (It might have been due to the huge emphasis placed on farming in D2, but i must admit, i did enjoy it for a bit). After seeing the abomination that is WoW, I can only wonder what wretched failures Blizzard is keeping from us.
But I am not denieing the possibility of a great game. If diablo 3 comes out i will certainly play it, even if it sucks, but I dont think it is a smart thing to have so much faith in a company that has decieve us already...

quite right, that what i liked about the Diablo series and the BG series, great Single player game that happened to have multiplayer, and was free. Hell i still play Diablo, and BG I, i dont care that they are what 10 years old now.

Hell yeah, Diablo was so dark, eerie, creey and gothic and claustrophobic, d2 was mostly huge open fields, deserts and snow covered tundra. but still a good game, i hope d3, drawns more from d1 in terms of stage design.

wow... i missed all this fun while i was working my ass off and as a few people have said it sure as hell looks like they are saying it isnt going to be sc2... hopefully its d3 but a tacocraft would be almost as satisfying
