Thats whats going to happen. Announcement at WWI, then hands on stuff at blizzcon. Perfect.
I agree, this it is a very good sign (cue giddy laughter).
However, I hope this doesn't mean there won't be a DIII announcement in June. I don't want yet another wait before we get our lovin'.
Lol anyway, 3 convention halls must mean Lost Vikings is back!
BLIZZ U crafty mutherfuckkerz!
It feels good after all theas years to finally have proof that Diablo 3 will be announced
I could be wrong here but were the Blizzcons used to just present what they have worked on to the public, after they had the WWI?
Blizzcon 1 about WoW 1?
Blizzcon 2 about Starcraft 2?
Blizzcon 3 about Diablo 3?
Note* I could be totally wrong.
Ah I hope it's actual hands on stuff. I won't be able to go either way, but I think it would really suck if they announced it at WWI then just had videos and trailers at Blizzcon. That'd be a sure sign that D3 is still several years away
MD, did you know about Blizzcon 3 before today?
Can anyone confirm (by way of actually having been there) that last year Blizzcon devoted one hall to WoW and one to SC2? Until I know for certain that that was the case I'm still chalking the extra hall up to WoW's mad popularity.
The announcement would have to take place at the WWI. So far, Blizzcon has not been used to announce anything, only to display what is already announced, while the Invitationals ahve been used to announce games, like recent Starcraft 2.
June is still the main bugger

If that's the case then I'm pretty sure there's going to be an announcement in June!
