tjf81 · Jun 28, 2008, 05:51 AM

It's like a dream come true for me. Both Starcraft2 and Diablo3 coming. My top 2 favorite games of all time. How am I gonna play both of them...

S.Nixx · Jun 28, 2008, 05:55 AM

anyone record the announcement as i missed it:P?

Jaws of Life · Jun 28, 2008, 05:58 AM

Time to get out our hammerdins and poisonmancers.

I heard some rumors going around that it may be released this time next year? Going on what I've seen so far, it looks pretty developed. I am surprised they held back this much secret for so long.

S.Nixx · Jun 28, 2008, 06:01 AM

wouldnt it be cool if they used some streaming system (aka wow) in D3 so there are no loading screens (just get deeper and deeper into dungeons with no breakup)

Tork64 · Jun 28, 2008, 06:01 AM

I hope everyone gets it on teh same day, that way we can level together. This is GREAT news, cant wait to be put in that world again.

edit: nm http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/index.xml is working for me now,better quality vid.

trailer

boss fight

{WOR}lock · Jun 28, 2008, 06:08 AM

Wow, that's excellent news. Blizz is on a major winning streak here.

Any news on this 3 game subscription system that ties in with WoW, SC2 and D3?

edit: also, how did the ice picture evolve in to the final mini intro?

Jaws of Life · Jun 28, 2008, 06:12 AM

I just love the ambient sound on the character list section:

**SirBaron** · Jun 28, 2008, 06:12 AM

Diablo was one of my favorite games when growing up, for some reason I never got into Diablo2 though.

spajdr · Jun 28, 2008, 06:26 AM

love the physics, how you can interact with stuff around you

exploding fat mob is funny to watch

KingRoLo · Jun 28, 2008, 06:29 AM

Links are getting hammered right now, can't view alot.

So what is this? MMORPG? single player campaign. If it's a silly MMORPG you can instantly count me out.

spajdr · Jun 28, 2008, 06:32 AM

If you watch gameplay video on blizzard site, they mention battle.net so its surely not MMORPG.

As soon as I saw "battlenet" I assumed the exact same.

Keep it to the mp/sp format Diablo 2 had. I think they are. Even more great news.

badboy · Jun 28, 2008, 06:45 AM

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

I just screamed!

THERE ARERNT ENOUGH DROOL SMILIES!!!!!!

god damn!!!! OH **** ITS DIABLO 3 ITS DIABLO 3!!!!!!!!!

*faints*

Dem2k · Jun 28, 2008, 07:00 AM

I bloody knew it! Woooo D3 is coming!

Terramage · Jun 28, 2008, 07:01 AM

Diablo 1 & 2 were both exceedingly traditional and simple RPGs, much like the thousands of other titles released every year, no?

Well, I'm sure Blizzard will make something extremely innovative and bring something new to the genr- oh wait...

Ah well good news for Diablo/Blizzard fans, at least it wasn't some ****ty promo for Lich King.

**nutcrackr** · Jun 28, 2008, 07:01 AM

5 classes and two are witch doctor, barbarian. Which ones from D2 miss out? Surely the sorc and paladin are there.

Hatecrime69 · Jun 28, 2008, 07:21 AM

Looks pretty cool, i'm excited

However the 'new' witch doctor class just seems to be a re-named necro so far

Cartigan · Jun 28, 2008, 07:31 AM

I'm surprised at the angle they are keeping on this. Be funny if it doesn't live up to the Diablo franchise, just like other games that were trying to match it didn't live up to it.
I suppose I will have to get this as I never got the previous versions.
Too bad the earliest it will be released is probably September next year.

Emmet Otter · Jun 28, 2008, 07:36 AM

OMFG!!!!!! Please dont let this be a 2010 release or later!!!! OMFG!!!!!

cyfgeorge · Jun 28, 2008, 07:38 AM

Visit the offical web site of our lover Diablo3 http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 and grab all the new stuffs of D3 included wallpaper, screenshot, artwork, trailers & realtime gameplay footage~

jimmt · Jun 28, 2008, 07:40 AM

I am not a big fan of this gaming genre, but I loved the heck out of the Doablo series. This is awesome news!

lumpyhed · Jun 28, 2008, 07:47 AM

Also, Diablo III builds on the random environments of the previous Diablo games by introducing a host of new ways to create random scripted events throughout the game

So are we getting generated environments or aren't we?
