Holy shit this realy exits.I though you rickrolling

[d-null]

OMFG that is going to be HUGE!!!!

[Klen]

I remember,years ago,when i talked with one diablo II fan,how he said hey there will be diablo III,you see stone was still alive.I though there wont be next diablo but it seems i was wrong.

[Turf]

any dates ?

[jollyperv]

Always hated those games, worthless hack and slashes masquerading as rpgs

[DefaultMan]

Oh man, that's awesome! Diablo 2 was the last great PC game I played and still play it to this day. I was gonna get Hellgate London until it got shit reviews on ign.com

[fatfoo]

that's a good thing...

[StuartD]

wow, that game play demo was insane... I would so love to lose myself for a whole lotta hours in this one.

[Babaganoosh]

I can't wait. I used to have a 99 amazon and a 99 sorc. God I hope there is still a cow level. :D

[datawookiee]

I'm guessing there's at the least another year till release, too bad because I really cant wait.

[opulence]

Gameplay looks like same boring old point and click bullshit... glad they didn't try and get creative and change it up a little.... Diablo 1 was incredible... Diablo 2... same bullshit.

[zalka]

Wow cant wait mind you i couldnt finish the first one kept on getting killed (poisened) by that bitch.

If they changed it then it wouldn't be Diablo. Let me guess. You wanted a FPS Diablo?

If it ain't broken...

[GirlsOnYou]

Wow I can't wait for this.. Diablo 2 was the best game ever. Funny how I get most of my news that aren't about science at GFY :D

Wow! You're really creative aren't you? Blizzard should hire you as project director!!! Because obviously the only way to go from point and click bullshit to something else, is to make it an FPS.

That would be funnier if I hadn't just spent the entire week-end away from the computer with them... but then you obviously don't know my entire life history.
Care to tell me what your exciting life has consisted of this week-end or should I just browse through the first 2 pages of GFY for the recap myself?

[d-null]

yeah, they need to recapture the things that made diablo the greatest game of all time....

wow never did that at all, wow is an ok game, but it never did what diablo did which made diablo so great

I fear that it will never be possible to recapture those days of when diablo was king and everyone was playing it

[Michaelious]

Looks really cool

[sysk]

nice... I definitely will start playing

[Beanz]

I myself can't wait... I played D2:LOD for years then gave it up about one and a half years ago because I felt there was nothing left to it.

What are you babbling about, shithead? I wouldn't change anything. Update the graphics, give me some new classes and new spells/attacks and new levels and I would be happy as hell.

Okay - so your argument is that 10 years and 2 sequels later, and hundreds of other games that have copied the same style of play, you are still amused. Okay - I understand shithead.

[d-null]

the biggest problem with it... remember whenever they did a 'restart' of everything, and those that started right at the beginning and played 24/7 and got their bots going and everything got a good jump on the economy and got a bunch of good stuff and all

so it kind of makes it so that when it comes out a person has to forget about anything but playing diablo for the first month to try not to be left behind and join in a month later as a dreaded NEWB

You would make a good point if Babaganoosh was the only person who feels that way but I think you'll find the same opinion of the majority of Diablo fans.

With these things, you can't change something so drastically that you lose your core base of fans. You have to continue the formula... improve on it, but continue it.

Sylvester Stallone did comedy movies that flopped. Because he was in a slump? Or because he completely changed the formula and his fans didn't agree?

They wouldn't have to completely change the formula to make the game more interesting or more innovative than it looks in the gameplay trailer.

New spells, a new class, and manipulating the environment doesn't really cut it. Hopefully they've left out some new features that they didnt mention or havent finished yet that will be in the actual game.

[RyuLion]

Oh hell yeah! I can't wait!

With SC2 still in production and looking like a 2009 release, I'd say 2010 at the very earliest for D3, but more probable of a 2011 release.

[tranza]

Diablo rocks!!!!

[Flymaster]

I'm waiting this game very much. Series 'Diablo' is the best!

The second WoW expansion is likely due out in early 2009 as well.

I'm kind of curious how Diablo 3 came to be, didn't the creators leave the company to make Hellgate London?

[fallenmuffin]

SWEET! I use to play Diablo alot when I was younger. Never got into Diablo II but glad to see they are bringing it back.

[WebairGerard]

I loved the first two. This should be a lot of fun!

[Meeper]

Yea that game is going to kick ass, cant wait to see some of the other classes start to be shown.

[jmk]

Looking good

[Mr. Porn]

awesome!

[dready]

It looks gorgeous, but am I the only one here that found Diablo 2 boring and repetitive? Hope it isn't more of the same.

the repetitiveness is part of what made it the greatest game of all time

going on endless numbers of baal runs or andy runs ruled, and even setting up bots and watching them do the same run over and over was awesome

the game just had a perfect combination of factors making it the best of all time

[videodoll]

Guild Wars is a lot better than Diablo. Maybe the new version of Diablo will be better as far as graphics go. I will try it if I have some time... I doubt Ill have the time to get very far.

It lacks somewhat in the traditional rp sense but i've never understood why people have to be so black and white about things. Were quests/tasks and the story largely irrelevant to Diablo? Mostly. You could finish all tasks in 30 seconds just by going through the maps and then returning to the town at the end and talking to everyone in one hit and giving each of them their artifact-of-return-to-owner-ness or letting them thank you for killing the big-bad-critter-we-wish-would-die-ness monster.. but that still doesn't make it a bad game. Thats like saying you "hate" a block buster movie because it's dumb fun (I don't understand why it's a binary thing.. why can't you get a boner from anything Charlie Kaufman's ever written or Jean-Pierre Jeunet's ever directed and still enjoy Iron Man (or whatever the popcorn action hero movie of the month is)). The main part of the equation is fun. I don't see how it's less fun because it's not Rogue or whatever. And to a certain extent too much rp can get in the way of fun too.
Anyways.. not the best RPG ever made, but fun enough to suck a good month or two worth of weekends away that you'll never get back... and thats coming from someone who played Bard's Tale 1, Pools of Radience, Ultima 4 etc.

don't get me wrong, I loved halo and battlefield and even wow a bit and many others, but diablo absolutely consumed people's lives for many months when it was peaking
