Diablo 3

Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

FUCK YES!
I never was much of a diablo fan, but it's a cool game nonetheless. And 3 looks like epic win.

The_wand_mirror · Jun 28, 2008

Diablo 3 is far above starcraft 2 in my opinion... but thats just my opinion =p

The Last Istari · Jun 28, 2008

Never played the Diablo series, but the games do look absolutely amazing.

Diablo 3 is no exception.

No. If you go to the site, the splash screen completly changed all the way, wasn't related to it really. Unless it doesn't load for you, as its animated and has sound, you could have troubles with it appearing.

They are working on Diablo 3, WotLK, sc2, and a un-annouced project they are hiring for? Jeeepers. Hope they don't all come out bad.

Dumblor · Jun 28, 2008

Actaully the site works perfectly.

Hope the Unannounced Game will be W4, but there's a little chance really. But it has more chances than The Lost Vikings 3

They have been hiring people for jobs for a game like WoW, I think.

The site works good for me, but somtimes it still shows ice. Idk why.

NearbyHermit · Jun 28, 2008

For the World,yeah !?!

I awaited this for 2 years.And finally ,Im going to complete my saga.

And oh my god,those graphics are out of this world,from this day on,Diablo 3 surpassed Starcraft 2.

I've had the same concerns.. simultaniously expanding the three big universes :con:

. But from the looks of it, D3 may really turn out to be great.

LordDz · Jun 28, 2008

It's blizzard. They got about unlimited cash!

Never really played the series, but ya gotta play this one!

Sabertooth · Jun 28, 2008

Aye.
And holy crap this is awesome, glad I believed in it since Day 1 of speculation :<

Rui · Jun 28, 2008

Wow, they actually succeeded in freezing my browser twice.

It may be cool, but hell, where is Warcraft IV? >_<

Seriously, with an announcement like diablo 3 i would like to scream 'Who Cares!'

Jaakko · Jun 28, 2008

Diablo is so much more fun than World of Warcraft. I'm so going to play this game. I played both Diablo 1 and 2 but they got boring very easily after I had finished the game. Hopefully Diablo 3 would introduce some new mechanics that increases its lifespan. But this does not affect the fact that I want Starcraft 2 too, I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun especially multiplayer and modding. Currently there are 3 games I want to play and they are Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 and Fallout 3.

I could almost bet that one day they will make Warcraft IV.

Exactly,I'm ready to take the chalenge and I can figure out what will be the main theme at BlizzCon :grin:

redmarine · Jun 28, 2008

After listening to Blizzard on WWI directly I've found out that they don't have any current plans for adding an Editor due the complicity of the game. Anyway they showed off all amazing stuff and it was quite cool.

Look at companies like Relic. They produce a ton of games at once. It's not as if one team works on them all. Don't worry, they'll all be good!

Looks amazing. I can't wait. Anyone ever noticed Blizzard trailers are more like movies than games? I think that's part of their success.

They make art not crap. The quality is outstanding!

Huurka · Jun 28, 2008

Oh god, I hope that Assassins gets into the game.

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

YES! I knew it ^^

Have you watched the gametrailers. Its pretty nice. :O The effects of blood and splash and sppprptrp...

For that statement you get +rep

And also,the Witch Doctor is a ...... did you guys saw his spells?

Jaakko · Jun 28, 2008

lol while I was watching Diablo 3 trailer I opened my yoghurt can but the cover opened in three parts lol just like the Diablo 3 banner. It was a sign that this game is going to be awesome. XD
EDIT: Hmm blizzard site working very slowly. And for some reason when they ask me for my birth date there is no enter button wtf =/

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

yea... I dont know what to think ^^ Its great I guess, but it doesnt sound d3ish

Yeay Cain is still there

redmarine · Jun 28, 2008

Will Caine be the next Diablo? He has although devoted all his life to destroy the evil just as his first companion did though he became Diablo himself.

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

Yes he is there. You can hear its the same voice

ooo that is nice... Withc doctors can cast pest insects on his summons to enchant them

wall of zombies :O kind of kick ass

Huurka · Jun 28, 2008

Stay awhile and listen!

Thanks for the rep ^^.

NearbyHermit · Jun 28, 2008

In these trailers I only see a type of terrain developed ,looks much like Kurast.I also dont see any storyline yet.

And I was stunned to see that you can choose genre male/female for your chars.

Nothing to it,I am just too happy

redmarine · Jun 28, 2008

It would be pretty sweet to try to kill hundreds of zombies with one single blow! I love the game's devilish style!

Well they've already added the story-line of both of the previous games(Diablo and Diablo 2). Though it ended just before the third chapter!

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

If you havent watched yet, this must be the greatest source for views at the moment

~Void~ · Jun 28, 2008

OMG YES!!! And it still looks like Diablo (but better graphics) and not WoW

I can't tell though if it's 2D or 3D... or both

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

it is 3D I believe, since you can rotate the gamecamera and zoom in and out and such

PatruX · Jun 28, 2008

I can't honestly tell which Blizzard game I'm waiting for most atm.

Diablo3: Tight lan/coop action.
Wotlk: Well, yeah, it's WoW, LOL!
SC2: Omg, next-gen map editor!!!

I'm still hoping for a new game(-genre?) from Blizzard instead of adding more expansions though, maybe a DnD-alike game? (Baldur's Gate anyone?), looking at the Diablo 3 gameplay video really got me excited about playing good ol' BG2.

God, give us WC4 or sandbox skillbased-nocarebear MMORPG from Blizzard (Like Darkfall Online, but with a Blizzard touch).

The Curse · Jun 28, 2008

Just woke up today and saw the announcement on blizz site. Couldn't load them all cuz my browser kept on committing suicide. But wow, this is like early christmas.

I'm a fan of Mephisto and his speech. Hope he gets moar spotlight.

Yeah in theory I guess.

UnLimiTeD · Jun 28, 2008

Everyone not bursting out in frenetic jubilance will be beheaded by the barbarian!
Weird how I am so enthusiastic about this game, while I wasn't a fanboy of it before
It just looks awesome.

Eccho · Jun 28, 2008

Hm, let us just hope that this is not going to be pay2play like wow... Then Im gonna cry :/

This looks like it's going to be fucking sick!!! I can't wait. I just need a new computer before then.

Huurka · Jun 28, 2008

I hope gold gets any value in Diablo 3.

UchihaSasuke.gr · Jun 28, 2008

I have played the old Diablo.It didn't have that good graphics,but it had an extremely addictive gameplay.

1)ark_NiTe · Jun 28, 2008

Have you guys watched the gameplay teaser? Oh my God!!!

JetFangInferno · Jun 28, 2008

This game makes me want to make SFX again! The SFX are too die for!

Arvedui · Jun 28, 2008

The gameplay video made me rofl. I could do nothing but laugh through the entire thing because it was so fucking awesome.

It's orgasmic.

cheesdude · Jun 28, 2008

Female Barbarian

OMFG

By the way, how old is cain now, like 1000?

redmarine · Jun 28, 2008

He is nothing more than skin and bones now. I know he'll have a great role in Diablo 3.

Duke · Jun 28, 2008

Can you tell me who is Cain pls? Anyway the game looks great.
