Another Blizzard Countdown: Diablo 3
http://www.blizzard.com/us/splash.html
Each day some more of the ice breaks off. Supposedly on Saturday, there will be an announcement. My guess is that it's just the release date to the new WoW expansion. Other's have speculated Diablo 3 announcement... |
Diablo3 announcement all the way :)
They've never done a countdown for a an expansion before. |

don't worry, I'm sure it will be delayed numerous times like every other blizzard reason :(
I'm going with Starcraft II though. |
I wish we had blizzards where i live, but it's way to hot for blizzards down in florida it has only snowed once and it was in the 70s i think

Probably an expansion, hopefully Diablo. Or maybe they're moving up the release date for SC2!
|
Something new would be nice
|
If this is related to WOTLK I will /wrists. Some people are saying Diablo 3 with the theme "hell froze over."
Some say SC2 release date and they're just fucking with us. Either way I can't wait and of course I am in nerd anticipation as I played WoW for 3 years, 40 hours per week and am a huge Blizzard fan regardless of me canceling my account a year ago. BTW there's now stars behind it and the "ice" is starting to look more like the crystal resources from StarCraft. |
It's Diablo 3.
that is all. Quote:

yay hackers! boo forum admins!

I'm hoping it's Diablo3. There's Runes from frostmourne, Hel rune from D2 and the Protoss logo. All 3 games are represented in the image. I'm just praying that means all 3 games will have something new to show at WWI :)

Also note that the image is called ice3.jpg, if that's worth anything. BTW, what are the little arcane ward looking things in three spots around the ice? Any ideas? |
In case anyone has been missing them, heres the previous ones.

Well then if that picture is accurate and the runes are from all 3 games i wouldn't be surprised if they whip out news on all 3. :p
I'm a little skeptical about how good a Diablo 3 game will be received. It will depend a lot on how much they stray from the other 2. If they go 3d it could do as badly as Hellgate: London did. After all that game was from the makers of Diablo iirc. I think its just the name that would carry it in sales tbh. As it is Starcraft 2 seems to be more of the same. But I'm still going to check it out. And of course I'm also going to pick up the wow expansion. |
You know, I'd play Diablo 3 for ages if it was more of the same, with refined graphics.
The mood, music & gameplay were all very much top notch to me. I even liked the fact that you had to host different games, instead of 1 big world like the MMOs today. Especially since the maps were randomly generated. |
I agree, more of the same would be nice. i don't want them to stray too far from the formula. I wonder what they'll do for diablo 3 tho. The prime evils are gone and the world stone is shattered. Unless there's some evil overlord dude they haven't introduced yet. Maybe a prequel?
|
Several lesser evils can still make an appearance, the war between Heaven & Hell itself could be very interesting, and like you said, a prequel might also be possible.
I'd say: just don't turn it into a HG:L but that game did have alot of good ideas... It just seemed like it was lacking funds to make it a great game (bugs/limited tilessets/paying for this and that/underwhelming graphics/...) |
wouldn't it be awesome if it was something else than just starcraft and diablo?
what about one of their older but equally awesome games?! Blackthorne!! http://www.vinagreta.seriesmedia.org...lackthorne.jpg |
So the new one today:
http://seattle.gametent.com/diablofa.../day4-ice4.jpg It appears to be a symbol from another of Blizzards games. A more obscure one. Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain A game from 1993 on macs and 1995 for PC. Maybe Lost Vikings tomorrow? |
Those 2 slits in the middle look like eyes. Whose eyes are they?
|
If It does turn out to be Diablo3, I hope it's more like the earlier patches and not the newest patch where everything is has resists and no matter what class you play you end up going against mobs that you have no way to kill. It lost all re-playability because it was just so frustrating, especially in hardcore mode when a death meant starting over..
|
Pax Imperia was a pretty good game, actually. I'd be interested to see a new one, but I don't think Blizz owns the rights anymore, unless they bought them back.
|
Looks kind of like a Protoss' eyes to me.

Also, another rune appeared that looks like a solar system. |
|
I somehow feel this picture, and what the final picture will be, is probably unrelated to what the announcement will be. It wouldn't suprise me at all for it to be WotLK related, but I still think the announcement itself will be Diablo 3

It's gotta be a new game. Whether or not that's diablo is a different story. Also, Quote:
