Oh man, I totally forgot that blizzard is solely releasing artwork just for your satisfaction, what is blizz thinking releasing artwork that you've already seen. Unacceptable blizzard!
Oh man, I guess I got got. Touche sir. I'll just go watch the same movie several times and think about my future. -

And three of those Barbarian concept pieces in the first group-piece are on the D3 site, both on the Barbarian main page and in the concept section (though one has a slightly modified helmet). The left-most one has appeared in several places (and I believe in the art trailer released in 2008), though I don't see it on the site.
I may have been mistaken about the second one, it is very similar to some others I have seen.
It's not that I want to make a big deal out of it. It's just that I look forward to these image releases because Blizzard never give us any damn information, and I am sad to see recycled material in them -
May 24, 2011OmniNom posted a message on Seventeenth Batch of Screenshots and ArtI'm wondering why they bothered adding the two Barbarian ones, since they've been on diablo3.com since announcement.Posted in: News
The other stuff is pretty sweet though -
May 19, 2011OmniNom posted a message on Sixteenth Batch of Screenshots and ArtI think it's time to start spamming facebook accounts and liking Diablo up to a million already.Posted in: News
Though if the 1 million reward is as boring as they say, I don't really care...
ON THE OTHER HAND, maybe they were just deliberately underselling it so we won't expect it to be AWESOME -
May 18, 2011OmniNom posted a message on Sixteenth Batch of Screenshots and ArtThis like reward makes me a saaaaad panda. Pretty soon they'll just link to the concept art page on the websitePosted in: News

May 2, 2011OmniNom posted a message on Fourteenth Batch of Screenshots and ArtYeah I hope they avoid too many permanent pets. One or two is nice, too many is annoying. Plus animals and zombies are sillier when they are weapons. Firebats being an inferno-style skill is an awesome thing to doPosted in: News

Can't wait to hear about it, I bet they probably would have just said "it's scrapped" unless they had something to announce. -

The message with Diablo, the more closely you look at the model, seems to be very clearly "female."
Leah I give as the reason for the femininity because she must be pretty damn important to show up in the Cinematic trailer in such a prominent role. In comparison, Tychus Findlay in Starcraft 2 was shown in the reveal trailer, and (without spoiling anything) he has a VERY important role in the finale.
The rest is justification, though I find it to be plausable (admittedly, with some holes that would need to be filled).

While the Worldstone being destroyed means that Diablo could potentially visit Sanctuary in full force without a host, consider that the Worldstone was meant as a dampener for the innate power of the Nephalem. With it gone, humans may once again be (or have the potential to be) the powerful creatures they were, which threatened to be more powerful than Demons or Angels either one.
So, he may in fact WANT to possess someone rather than remaining in his original form, so as to harness the powers of the Nephalem to make himself stronger. I don't necessarily agree that this possession does not add to his power. Speculation though.

I was looking through some articles on the Diablo wiki and elsewhere, and came back across that screen shot of a work-in-progress model of Diablo from the cinematic trailer. The little blurb accompanying it noted it's feminine shape, and made an offhand comment suggesting Diablo's soulstone had been driven into the head of a woman.
For a while now I had been wondering why exactly Leah had been introduced--Deckard Cain had served her apparent role well enough in the past, why add a character needlessly? Some people have already speculated that Cain will die at some point during Diablo 3, and therefore Leah is the heir to his role as a guide.
But what if she is in fact going to be possessed by Diablo (or a combination of the three prime evils, as some have suggested), and become his last physical manifestation in Sanctuary? She may in fact even be the one to kill Cain, having been corrupted, before she finally transforms into this iteration of Diablo.
She is known to have some kind of supernatural power, as she is seen having a vision of the impending meteor strike in the trailer. Tal Rasha made a powerful body for Baal in LOD, making him more formidable than his brothers that possessed more ordinary human hosts. And we've seen that Diablo's physical appearance alters based on the body he possesses, his form being skinnier and more upright in the body of the prince in Diablo 1, but more hulking and bestial in Diablo 2 after possessing a powerful warrior.
I don't have a shred of proof for any of this, obviously, but given Leah's somewhat mysterious role in this coming installment in the series--and the feminine form of that model--it seems at least possible. And for the reasons above, it makes a strange sort of sense in my brain.
Maybe you guys disagree, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. :blink:
Here is the image by the way:
There are better ones, but I can't find them, if someone else can please post!
