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:

The one thing I do know is that Blizzard is sneaky.
Lost Vikings 2: Wrath of Eric the Red |
damn them. they have me stumped.
|
Blizz IS sneaky... however, according to one article,

Man Blizzard is milking this shit and it's great. You know they LOL every time they post a new image.

K lol, maybe I am liek a, n00b 4evr.
but wut is diablo? I hav nvr heard of it. lol. |
Diablo (video game)
many of the wow mechanics and gameplay are from Diablo |
I'm currently playing Diablo 2 in my "brain kill" time .. I think I can use a Diablo 3.
|
I was kidding Cynth. Diablo 3 would be pretty cool, but if they charge monthly, not so cool.
|
If they charge monthly, it's because it's an MMO, which would also be cool. *shrug*
|
I still dont think they'd compete with themselves in the mmo market.
|
isometric view or bust!
|
It's gonna be WoW's third expansion. It will be named World of Diablocraft. The prime evils are raid bosses.
On a serious note, Diablo 3 would be cool, but I'm getting this feeling that they are just playing with us, and maybe they're making a completely new game/franchise. |
New pic up today. Looks kinda like Archimonde. Could the logos be a representation of acolytes resurrecting him or something?
|
Ok my vote is on it's the devil from Diablo 3 and he's gonna break through the ice with orange white hellfire at the end of the image streak.
BOOM SHOCKA LOCKA!!!!!! |
I'm guessing:
A) It's a Dark Archon or Archon from SC II and we get the official release date. B) Or it's just a random Death Knight(Not Arthas) image and release date on Wrath of the Lich King. Sorry Diablo fans. |
It could be a new character for Diablo 3. Maybe a 4th prime evil?
If it's a cow, expect laughter from me. |
BTW I can't believe they keep this stuff secret for so long. Reminds me of Penny Arcade.

BASTARDS!
|
Holy shit what a bunch of fucking geeks you all are.
I say that with love, so don't get your panties in a twist you fucking geeks. I said that with love, too. |
|
Dun dun duuuuuuunnnn!!! New picture? I can see eyeballs!!!
Crazy smoky eyeballs! |
Blizzard added Diablo 3 to their official forums.
However, they also added Diablo 4 and 5. I love Blizzard. Seriously. http://www.destructoid.com/battle-ne...ts-92630.phtml |
They also added a Warcraft 4, 5 and 6. Blizzard is evil.
|
If I were to wager a guess: World of Starcraft.
|
they're still hiring for a next gen mmo, I just dont see them announcing it before they get a dev team for it.

Something smells fishy. Look at the date of the postings. Isn't is a bit convenient that they're looking for people since just last month.... :orly: |

They are going to stream tomorrow's event live.
http://www.blizzard.com/wwi08/index2.xml I think it starts at around 5:45am EST....whoa that's just 3 hours away! |
Quote:
ok, now someone is getting paranoid. lets just leave it at the Diablo 3 announcement and wait a year for the real next gen MMO announcement. |
Fellers,
Another picture up. Definitely something going on with the runes, uuhhh durrr. What can it be?! |
I guess everyone knows by now... It's Diablo3. The Gameplay trailer was amazing.
|
Holy crap this game looks awesome.
|
Commence comparisons to Titan Quest....
|
I'm all atingle :hyper:

Quote:
I've never gotten the chance to play the first 2 and this looks amazing. I've heard good things about the first 2. Maybe I'll pick up Diablo 2 in the near future. |
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the heavens...shall tremble http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/ |

This game looks massively fun. GIVE US A RELEASE DATE!!!
|
Jesus, SC2 and Diablo 3... what's next?
BTW, both will run native on Mac, along with WoW. TY, Blizzard. |

Very impressive game play trailer with explanations... this is great for those that don't know anything about the Diablo heritage and gameplay.
I've very much looking forward to upgrading my PC if needed to play this game with Skogafoss and Byrnison like we did with Diablo II. Good times of many weekends just playing together. |
Yeah, I'm thinking about building a new rig for SC2 and Diablo 3. Hahahaha.
|
Just finished the gameplay trailer and that party fight was just insane!!!!!
Blizzard will have a banner year if they release all 3 in the same year, but more than likely will span it over the next upcoming 2 years SC2 2009, D3 2010. Let's see some release dates... changed title for clarity |
Well I'm eating crow, waiting for the site to load now. It's extremely slow. Guess Blizzard didn't expect this much traffic.
|
I was going to wait until my eMac conked out before upgrading to the new iMac, but I don't think upgrading to prepare for SC2 and Diablo 3 is a bad excuse.
BTW, everyone should keep updated on Lasereth's video card guide. I have no doubt that SC2 and Diablo 3 will have hefty hardware requirements. My guess? No less than a 2.4GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and a decent 512MB video card (probably either one of the 8800s or the new 9800 GTX). |
WOOT. Good thing I'm going to be upgrading my computer around the time these games come out:)
|
This is where I come in and say "I told you so"
people forget, I have friends who have friends at blizzard :p |
I was so hoping it was going to be D3 but thought naw its going to be wotlk.
Im so stoked for this to come out |

No more potion spamming = A++ I always considered that the dumbest part of Diablo gameplay. |
The death that the barbarian received at the end of the video was by far the coolest thing I've seen in any Diablo game ever.
|
Curse my crappy internet! I want to see these videos!!!

Fallout 3 should be coming out around then too, god, what a great year it will be (i hope)
|
With no confirmed release date for SC2 yet, I'm thinking 2011-2012 is realistic, but 2010 would be wonderful. They did state that they wish to perfect the game as much as they can before release though, and as with WoW (and D2/SC to a very minor extent), they will likely fine tune Warden (hack detection) well for it, and of course take a few years after release to get rid of all the bugs and glitches as well as balance the gameplay/characters, then add more stuff, and start fixing the problems caused by that (at least that is what they did with D2).
