DiabloFans

Having been involved with, and played a plethora of videogames, within the videogame industry, when a developer and/or 3rd party states: "we can't comment on rumors or speculations", 99% of the time, the "leaked" info proves to be true, and an official statement follows shortly thereafter.

I'm not suggesting PCAction and/or PurePanDEMONium have accessed info to Diablo and/or a secret title, however, this "leaked" info with regards to: "we can't comment any further on this topic", often suggests, that "w/e" they have, holds to be true indeed.

The last game that Blizzard Entertainment released was World of Warcraft back on November 23, 2004. I'm excluding The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, as their both expansions, and although new content, isn't necessarily a new game.

It's been "4" years since a new game arrived. Blizzard's been known for their quality vs. quantity. What could they be developing? With the recent Activision merger, I'd be willing to put down $2,000 on Boardwalk, and bet it'll be arriving this year.

Have you unlocked the bonus COW level? Or has "There is no COW level" held steadfast and true?

One thing is for certain: all this game player has to say is: "Moo!" In COW tongue that means: "we don't comment on rumors or speculations"

Got Milk? Hehe

Blizzard tends to host a major gaming event to annouce a new title;

WWI 2007 was hosted in South Korea, (Starcraft's biggest fan-base).
WWI 2008 is being hosted in France, (Diablo's biggest fan-base).

WWI 2007 FAQ: "When was the Worldwide Invitational? The Worldwide Invitational was held on Saturday, May 19, and Sunday, May 20.

Starcraft "and" Starcraft: Broodwar, were both released in March. (North America and PAL territories respectively).

This year's WWI 2008 also happens to be hosted in the same month (the same birthday, *Diablo loot pinata cough* even), for the Diablo franchise.

Will Diablo 3 be annouced? Not necessarily. A Diablo-type game looks to indeed suffice. It "could" be Diablo 3, a Diablo MMO, Diablo go-kart racing, or Diablo-Hello Kitty. Heck, it could just be a major gaming event to annouce plush toys and a D2 patch.

"However", this is the heavily rumored Diablo 3; so why not go play Hellgate: London? Remember, this is no longer "just" Blizzard Entertainment; their now backed by Vivendi and Activision as well.

Blizzard's been known for their quality vs. quantity. However, it's been nearly a decade since they revolutionized the gaming industry.

.......The One Ring was all but forgotten, until picked up by a hobbit. Let the battle for Middle Earth commense.

Keep in mind that Blizzard has partnered with Activision. You've got the best software developer in the industry combined with the largest game publisher in the industry. That alone suggests one mammoth of a juggernaut of a game[s].

It's been 7 years since the last Diablo, and hardware has made a significant upgrade since then. Blizzard likes to think big. Much like the graphical upgrade from Warcraft 2 to Warcraft 3, it'll be interesting to "see" what they make of the past 7 years. Whether it's for Starcraft: Ghost, Lost Vikings, or Hello Kitty remains to be seen for June throughout.

With -one- risen finger, I swear to you, that your optical drive will be in debt to you for the rest of your life.

In the future, I'd greatly appreciate it, if you didn't jump to such conclusions. I felt it to be on topic, and if you knew of who I was, perhaps you wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon so quickly. I'm an individual of whom encrypts everything, speaking in riddle and puzzle. Rest assured, it was more on diablo then anyone could've asked for.

Perhaps better to have you have deleted, should then the individual, nothing to look forward to come june and beyond. It's your loss, not mine, wait a few weeks then, hehe.

Dr. Evil: "I'm going to build a giant space laser on the moon. When the rebels pilot vs. pilot the tiefighters, they will be like frickin' shot down. When their planes ignite, they'll burn in hell."

Scott: "And what if they don't get shot down?"

Dr. Evil: "Scott, daddy doesn't have time for your questions ok? This is serious family business."

Scott: "Hey, I'm just saying, we could use like 50 million mandaclorians, out of the 100 billion we got last time, pay some scientist to make a bomb, and boom, everyone goes to heaven.

Hey Umaro, I LOVE Final Fantasy 6!!!!

I've been browseing Blizzard Entertainment's wares ever since it was founded by Michael Morhaime, Allen Adham, and Frank Pearce [then Silicon & Synapse], back in 1991.

If what my current aformentioned knowledges are lead to be believed, "that" which is coming out of the very closed doors of Irvine, California, will completely, and totally redefine the genre: badass.

When I was much younger, I'd connect to Blizzard Entertainment's website, and see a new annoucement, after new annoucement, after another....symbolism, plethora of historical references, and then I thought: "hey, wait a second, who are these guys? They aren't like any other videogame developer. I'm in love!"

As each new clue and an arcane explosion of riddles were released, every new title became a game to me; "what could it be?" Early on, I thought I was nuts. I had made "certain" connections, but then thought: "no, no, no way, that's impossible!". Which in turn developed into: "ok, that's it, that just defines coincidence to a tee!".

And yet, here I am before you today, with the very same facial expression, of which Keanu Reeves displayed, when he had learned of the matrix: "Whoa!". As Blizzard's current project[s?] are indeed that which can be defined by a single alkaline battery.

If you ponder as to why I torture and tease, WWI 2008 isn't "very" far off........
