Damn... why all the hate against the man and his team? Are you guys ignorant or something? Did you even read the whole 8 pages? Do you even understand how business works? Do you know how hard it is to start a company from scratch and work everything out using your own money?
I think what Flagship studios did was an achievement! Their only mistake (and he admits this btw) is that they tried too do too much with very little money. Their only problem was, they where used to Blizzard's funding, and always having millions and millions of dollars at their disposal to make a great game. I have absolutely no doubt at all in my mind, that if HG:L had the Blizzard seal of approval on it, it would have been A LOT more than it currently is. It would have been more finished and with more content. Because let's admit it, the concept was nice, It was different and daring, but that's what Blizzard is all about.
Anyways I hope all the best for Bill Roper and the guys who used to work at Blizzard North and Flagship.
And Uleman, PLEASE GO BACK AND MAKE DIABLO III's MUSIC!!!!! (Don't get me wrong, I like the music now, at least I don't hate it, but I know that Uleman would've made something more memorable and perfect)

I have to disagree here.Quote from "JELL" »Still, a lot of people will be disapointed when the game ships, developers just can`t please everyone.
I've havent heard of anyone disappointed by a GoW sequel, or a MGS sequel, or a FF sequel, or a RE sequel. and that's just to name a few.
anyways I highly doubt that Diablo III will be anything near disappointing.

Jul 14, 2008Djinn_690 posted a message on Diablo III Thoughts From Ex-Blizzard EmployeeI think that blizzard north would have done a superb job on Diablo III if they where they ones that completed the project.Posted in: News
I would also like to point out that, considering they didn't have a fraction of the funding they had available to them when they where working with blizzard, does not make them less creative or bad game developers. I believe that if with the right funding Hell Gate London would have been a big success, sadly though they where limited to what they could do, and they probably made a miracle happen with whatever funds they had.
If they still had the funding and backing of Blizzard I'm more than sure that we would all be playing their masterpiece(Diablo III) by now and loving every second of it.
At they very least I'm sure they would never have even thought "I wonder what would happen if we make a Fast Paced Action RPG version of WoW" - which sadly seems to be what was going on in the heads of the current developers when they where working on it. -

I absolutely agree with you.Quote from "NP-RandyWest" »It sucks that Blizzard always think so much about the random retard, but never about the skilled player.
The thing that made Diablo II sooo F*****G amazing was that it was very realistic and while the action is very amazing and fast paced and there was demons running around, it was still realistic, because, u can get scammed or robbed (dont say wtf just yet) I'm not saying that I enjoy getting scammed or robbed off of a good item, but I like the fact that, just like you could get robbed in real life, you can get robbed in the game, (not to mention that some scams where genius and I couldnt help but smile after the initial shock :D)
Second, while the government controls part of the economy IRL, its mostly the people, and business men that affect it and change it all the time. but in the era that Diablo was set in, I dont think the government played a major role in the economy, so It only makes sense that its controlled by the people who play the game.
Lastly, for all you people who like the WoW-like Art, Duel system, economy system, etc, etc. STICK TO YOUR GODDAMN WoW AND LEAVE DIABLO FOR US!!!
instead of telling me to stick to playing Diablo II, You stick to your WoW!! I want Diablo III to be a "Diablo" sequel not a fast paced WoW game. -
Jul 8, 2008Djinn_690 posted a message on Diablo III PK and PvPnow I'm totally depressed!Posted in: News
blizzard is taking out the heart and soul of diablo 3 and replacing it with one from WoW.
the art direction is WoW-ish, when i paused the gameplay video over the skills it looked like the 20 skill tab on the D2 skill tree has been replaced by some WoW-like skill system.
and now the PvP aspect of the game seems like its going to lean more towards a WoW-ish view rather than a Diablo view.... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BLIZZARD!!! (sorry but I'm seriously frustrated)
What made the Diablo series so great was that it kept you excited, and the PvP system was one of the most exciting aspects of Diablo. knowing that you could be killed by someone at any moment is part of the fun and it kept people involved with the game.
if u didnt want that, u could always make a password proteced game or put a level tab on ur game... easy as that!!!!
The Diablo II skill tree was one of the best damn things that ever happened to the Diablo games. because of it we where able to have many many builds of the same class, the builds seemed infinite. they where certaintly much more than anything the WoW skill system offered.
And the art, NO BLIZZARD ITS NOT JUST MUSIC THAT GIVES DIABLO ITS DARK FEEL!!! music is a huge factor in the equation but even more importantly is the color scheme. NICE COLORFUL RAINBOWS DONT FEEL LIKE "DIABLO" AT ALL!!!! no matter how eerie the music playing in the background is.
Blizz needs to take their heads out of WoW's ass and look into Diablo's instead!!!
P.S please excuse me for my language but I think I have the right to be mad as I am a "Diablo" fan who has been waiting for this game to come out for 8 years!!! and seeing them turn this game to something more of a non MMO WoW game is just disgusting to me!! - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

the soul stones are destroyed and with that the, prime evil's souls return to their original bodies (remember in the first 2 games they where using some one else's body as a vessel.)
then the world stone is destroyed and the gap between sanctuary, heaven, and hell, is destroyed along with it.
So in this game the prime evils will probably return, but this time in their own original bodies, which I'm hoping will be kick ass

:offtopic:about the rooms only having 5-6 players... that's not final, I believe that one of the blizzard staff stated that the new bnet servers will be able to support up to 20-30 players per room, but having that many people in one game is ridiculous and will only mess it up, so they will try to keep the player cap at something reasonable. and until they figure out the other classes and their skills I dont think we'll hear anything about the player cap.

Anyways I don't know about you guys but I might have part of this playing during a boss fight or two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNVCD1dsnJI&feature=related
^ this music pumps me up (from around 0:55-2:00) and seems perfect for a fast paced exciting battle.

btw did u see how in the gameplay video the witch doctor tried to kill one with a fire bomb attack but failed... also the bunnies seem unphased by any battles going on around them.

anyways with that said, I think that it depends, the thing that kept Diablo at his size in D1 and D2 was the fact that he was using a human's body as his vessel, but now that the world stone is destroyed I believe that Diablo can enter Sanctuary with his own body, and... well , no one knows how big his actual body is.
but we can all be sure that he will be equally impressive in both his looks and his skill arsenal if he does show up in the game.

you're just wasting your time.
I agree with the fact that it's not as gothic or dark as the 1st 2 installments, but all we can do now is sign the petition and hope that blizzard will consider making it more true to the Diablo Franchise.
complaining won't change anything.

either way I doubt she can do anything to change the events that will unfold in Diablo III and I doubt that Tyrael will be corrupted in the game.

the box will be one of those that the cover can open up like a book. and on the outside it will have Diablo on it, and then you open it up and inside is tyrael and the quote "And the Heavens shall tremble"

seriously imagine the gameplay trailer was in first person view... they might as well have announced World War III, instead of Diablo III.
