Quote from "Drake-" »they have a subdivision in korea...
Quote from "Doppelganger" »It just doesnt work like that, if it did then why would Blizzard be so big and have so many games in development? (they said they have 5 titles in mind).
What Blizzard is going for is as many gamers possible and they cant do that with WoW alone.
You think Blizzard is just waiting to make a game or release it cause WoW is doing good? Thats just naive because time is pressure even for Blizzard (it doesnt look that way cause Blizzard is extremely secretive), they need to think about releasing there games when there done that are currently in development and they cant afford to not announce there games soon.
If they have ambitions to interest people in buying there games (even WoW) then they need to make some BIG announcements soon.
It doesnt matter for WoW if one of does BIG announcements is D3 because the more people who are interested in Blizzard the more people that will buy there games.
Its really just simple marketing and sure we know Blizzard is a quality company from games like Diablo and Starcraft but the more people that know this the more people who are going to be interested in WoW.
Quote from "fwdd" »personally, I highly doubt it is a new Diablo game. I'd love it if it was, but I don't think it is a new Diablo.
Diablo has always been a RPG. WoW is a RPG. If they make a new Diablo game, it will mean that Blizzard has two rivaling games, both aiming for somewhat the same kind of people.

Anything NEW would be greatly appreciated

I fully agree. If they didn't release the game because of WoW's success, the expansions would not be coming out every year or so.
Still, it doesn't matter. You guys can speculate and speculate but still wont be able to come to any conclusion. We just have to wait 16 more days until we can find out for sure.

But it would be smart to have rivaling games as Blizzard would get two different groups of gamers to play possibly doubling their money.

BTW, I found that the information I posted was about the BlizzCon supposed to happen the year Blizz North closed (this site http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=9145) My bad guys, should have looked a little closer into the info I posted. SRY.

I understand that this was from last year, but i doubt that BlizzCon wasn't planned ahead of time. Therefore, this statement of a demo at BlizzCon shows that they must have been planning the release of D3 for several months, if not a year. Al I'm saying is that Blizzard isn't stupid, they've been strategically planning their game announcements to both drive gamers crazy and raise the most money possible in the quickest way possible. (Wow that was long-winded)

When asked by GameSpot if the Warcraft universe was all that's left for the company to mine, chief operating officer Paul Sams said, "No. Absolutely not. We have multiple games in development, currently, they are just not announced… To the outside world--and the reality of it is--we are laser focused on what is the thing right then, but there's a ton of additional focus being put toward these other [games] that are in development."
Though i may (alright, am) stating the obvious, people shouldn't get disappointed if SC2 is announced in Korea and not D3 as Blizzard has clearly pointed out that they have more than one project going on unrelated to WoW (*sigh of relief). There is plenty of hope for D3 if it is not announced in May. My top post shows that D3 is definitely(DEFINITELY) not dead.

It is another diablo3 site.
"Diablo 3 takes place in heaven. Hell is trying to take it over and it is AWESOME looking … Imagine the brightness of heaven being taken over by the darkness of hell … Imagine WoW but in a Diablo world in amount of size and playability … Also, guild housing is available in this game for those of you who know about it. They should have a gameplay demo to show at BlizzCon."
Apparently, according to this former Blizzard employee, Blizzard should be showing a D3 demo at BlizzCon. Now whether they will announce the game at BlizzCon or in Korea, I do not know. However the logical conclusion I made was D3= Blizzcon, SC2 = Korea. I am a die-hard D3 fan but I must state that May 19th is StarCraft 2. Sorry.
PS. All you Starcraft fans, find your own forums. You're biased half-assed statements are clogging OUR news forums.
