Your thread?

According to the site WOTLK is due 2 months before D3, and SC2 2 months after. You left that possibility out of the equation, along with many others...

And if you so sensitive with taking Christ's name in vain, why are you on a DIABLO forum?

Since we have a date for Diablo III we can surmise that either one game should already be out, or Diablo III is the first to be released. Remember, this is based on the data that you found.

Edit: Just reread your post. That would be a four month duration. Not to mention the fact that it would be released out of order compared to the manner in which they announced the games. They can do what they want, but I bet some Starcraft 2 fans would be upset.

I can't force anybody to do anything. I'm just asking.

***DAMN SELF

Please don't say this in my thread.

Diablo III made me want to purchase Starcraft II. I don't really know why...if it came out first I might not...then again, I probably will. It all depends on if it's p2p.

Hmm? I didn't say anything about Bill Roper. . .

Nor joke about it.

They said Starcraft 2 will debut the new Battle Net, so D3 will come out last.

I knew when it was first. I was just trying to make a point. =/

Settle down guys, Christ.

Please don't use the Lords name in vain in my thread.

Holy crap I had to quote this to make sure it didn't get edited out later. Let's do some math.

149 days left (supposedly)/ 30 days in a month = ?

4.96(repeating, of course), aka 5 months, aka December 1 I believe. Novemeber would be 4 months away.

The release dates for SC2 and WOTLK are also posted, and the release of all 3 games supposedly takes place over 6 months.

Also:


Would you drop this ridiculous theory already? Project Hydra has nothing to do with anything other than Diablo.

Hmm, maybe you should read what you quoted. First, again, I clearly stated that I am using Project Hydra as terminology for a concept (it started out that way before we began to feel it was Diablo III). Also, I linked to an exact date for 149 days from now: Friday, November 28, 2008.

Now I wouldn't know the release dates for the other games according to that site (you didn't link to them in your thread). Either way, you're stating they're over the course of six months? That would mean November, February and May (if Diablo III is released first) or May, August, November (if Diablo III is last)...being that Diablo III was announced last, based on your six month theory, SC2 and WoTLK should already be out.

I am much more willing to trust a company that has produced 3 best selling franchises...

If van gogh came back and drew a stick figure, would you pay a million dollars for it? One of Blizzards strong points is listening to it's consumers (I've heard something about them changing the art for SC2?). I for one say they've done a fantastic job. My point is you really can't take that stance or use that as a point of contention. Then it sounds like you only like it because it came from Blizzard and it could have been anything.

Psyfect you're full of it. Gamespot is hardly a credible source.

Vivendi has apparently already confirmed the release dates for ALL of those games anyways.

Project Hydra is NOT a marketing project. I've had enough of this idea.

It's a theory. I'm proposing it as a possibility (which is entirely plausible). You however seem to enjoy saying it is wrong, impossible and stupid (at least I get that feeling). Neither one of us have any proof either way, yet I propose a theory based on (albeit not necessarily circumstantial) evidence. You have no compelling data and yet act as though you are so assuredly correct.

Also, I am simply using Project Hydra as terminology to support a concept (I've already stated it is more than likely Diablo III) for ease of readability. By the way, 149 days is 4 months, which is right around December...did you want to support my theory any further?

Also, only one of the two sources was gamespot.

personally I think you guys are expecting too much, the main priority is the content of the gameplay not the graphics.

While I have since decided that I am extremely happy with what the game currently is, I have to disagree with this.

If graphics were unimportant, they could simply release an update to Diablo II. I also understand that that graphics aren't the most important thing, or I'd still be playing Diablo I. I was hoping Diablo III would be a combination of Diablo I graphics (updated to todays standards) with Diablo II game play.

However, it appears to keep the game play with a new direction for graphics. I think the first level looked phenomenal when I witnessed it for the first time, so I just want them to release the game as soon as possible. Even if it took two seconds to change the color scheme, that would be two seconds to long to push back the release date/time.

What's the point of a deep and dank dungeon if the whole world were one deep dank dungeon? There's no contrast!

The video game itself is a contrast to real life.

Diablo II is starting to look more and more like it is the one that has an absence of color. I still feel Diablo III appears a bit to 'washed out,' which has nothing to do with the lore, it just seems like the contrast/gamma is kind of high. Not a big deal though, I think they did an amazing job more and more each time I watch it!

Though we have since determined that Project Hydra is more than likely Diablo III (due to the apparent merger of Diablo, Mephisto and Baal), we still feel that it may have a double meaning which includes releasing all three games as close together as possible.

Some notable points of interest:
Diablo 3 (bottom of page): 12/31/08
Starcraft 2: 12/03/08
Warth of the Lich King: 11/03/08

Each title is slated (roughly) one month apart. We think Blizzard has been planning this, and while the dates may be changed/pushed back, the important thing to notice is the closeness of the dates.
