Diablo 3 Unveiled!

[Cole]

Bascially there are 4 lesser evils and 3 prime evils.
The lesser evils, were thinking the prime evils were getting scared to attack heaven. So 2 of the lesser evils, azmodan and belial hatched a plan. They led a massive revolt against hell and took hell itself over, while the prime evils did destory 1/3 of hells legions. Azmodan and Belial banished the prime evils to the mortal world. Heaven seeing this had to go to protect them. The gates of heaven were unprotected, as they were to busy in the mortal world.

Azmodan and Belial were getting ready to attack the defenseless gates of heaven, when they basically went into a civil war over who held more power. No one knows anything about them after the civil war. But whatever happened, we don't know if they killed eachother, if one is still alive....but maybe we will find out in Diablo 3....

Diablo MMORPG, that could be really good. I will have to wait for more information though as I don't 100% believe this one atm. Only a couple of days to wait before everything becomes true, so lets just wait and see

Digg it

Hum wow, it's an exact copy and paste of what was first posted. How is that for added credibility.

I'm not making a bet or anything, I'm just warning you guys are wetting your pants for nothing.

And it is NOT an MMORPG, that was never stated, the author just meant that it had the epic scale of WoW.

 

[OCybrManO]

Diablo 3 turning into a MMORPG would fit exactly what I was expecting (and previously stated on here somewhere)... as the series seems to be shifting away from an emphasis on story and atmosphere and more toward gathering lots of loot and increasing your stats... and what better platform for leveling and loot-gathering (and lining the developer's pockets) than a MMORPG? If it's true, I don't like the way Blizzard has been taking their games, lately. I hope, when they finally get around to making a proper sequel for StarCraft, that it actually feels like a StarCraft game... and it better not be another ****ing MMORPG.

I doubt blizzard would make diablo 3 an mmo because they have the market locked down with WoW and would not want there own game competing with it.So diablo 3 is not going to be a mmo

LOL! That's not how it works at all, either way they get th emoney , and a lot of people will probably play both games.

The thing is MMOs need constant attention (hence the monthly fee) and they're already damn busy with WoW. IF they do make it an "MMO" I'm guessing it will be more along the lines of Guild Wars.

Even IF this Diablo 3 stuff is true...

No better person to compete with than yourself. Either way you win.

 

[Absinthe]

IRT the last two posts - What would be the point? Why spend so much time, money, and effort into a competing MMO that, for all you know, doesn't sell well compared to your other? That's not even including the obligatory monthly fees that would be required to sustain it.

I'm not saying it couldn't work. I'm saying it seems kind of inefficient as all Hell. Of course, if they announced a StarCraft MMO I'd shit myself and jump on a bandwagon whooping and hollering.

Yeah... That's exactly what I said.

I was just countering Kare Bear's point when he said that blizzard wouldn't want to compete with itself.

Well real corporations buy out the competition in order to compete with themselves. I'm sure there's a lot more effort involved in making a game as compared to just simply buying a company...but I can still see it happening.

I still don't totally believe the news anyways.

 

[CyberPitz]

Did I just hear Starcraft 2?

No?

Damn.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

I SHIT MY PANTS.

Oh god. I want Diablo 3 now...

You don't actually buy into this, do you?

 

[nutcrackr]

Oh I'd love to buy into this, but alas I drift into the shadows as nothing more than a rumour surfaces

 

[Lucid]

Awesome WoW news.

...Oh Diablo 3? *deep yawn*

GIVE US STARCRAFT, YOU BASTARDS!

 

[destrukt]

if it is made, i doubt it would be an mmorpg ..

 

[Absinthe]

If the next big thing from Blizzard is Diablo-related, it will be known as an inarguable fact that Blizzard is Satan and enjoys poking their fans' souls just to watch them twitch.

Whats so great about Starcraft ? i've never played it ... should i ?

*Grabs a skin pealer*

Starcraft is a 1998 game that has one hell of a mapping and gaming community behind it.
Made by Blizzard Entertainment, it still hits on battle.net peaking at 100,000+ people at times, and averaing 20 - 40k. It is one of the most played RTS's(Only competition is Wc3) in the world.
It is loved by Koreans.
It has graphics that are very easy on the eyes and still seem nice even though there extremely old 2d ones.
It's gameplay and balance and diversity is unmatched today by anygame. 3 extremely diverse races, with perfect paced gameplay, combined with an unreal level of balance.
The mapping community has created there own editors, figured out everything on blizzards formats, they have found every little nitch and twig in the editor. Creating there own extremely unique maps that take the game from new levels.
From
"Porno Pics"
to
"Mass Evolves"
to
"Diplomacy"
to
Defenses
to
RPG's
to well just about anything the mapping community has brought bringing a new level of gameplays so when your done with the melee\tvb you can go right into something completely new and fresh. I got bored of the melee\tvb after about 2 to 3 years. Got big in mapping, and well Im extremely good at Diplomacy. There are tons of clans running around in starcraft. It's just one amazing game that cannot seem to die out.
It's singleplayer story combined with the expansion led to something brilliant. Oringal, extremely fine story. Add a secret level that reveals something that adds a *Holy Shit, wheres the sequel*, and well...lets just say you have yourself the greatest RTS of all time.

I wont care because I know if anything Diablo releated is announced, it means nothing because Diablo's are made by Blizzard *North* not Blizzard *Hq*. Completely different people made the Diablos and Starcraft's. Just share the same name "Blizzard Entertainment".

 

[DigiQ8]

huh ?

I'm aware of that, but I'm speaking in terms of PR. Since StarCraft's release, we've had D2, a D2 expansion, WC3, a WC3 expansion, and World of Warcraft. Upon reviewing that list, one will notice a distinct lack of StarCraft.

 

[gh0st]

why break a good thing though absinthe? i'd be happy with a very well tweaked expansion.. maybe slightly updated graphics, just with a few new units.

 

[Absinthe]

Because as great as SC is, I'd like to see it be even better. I want it to make me cream my pants in newfound ecstasy like when I first loaded up the original.

If Blizzard's track record is anything to go by, this is more than possible.

STARCRAFT! STARCRAFT! STARCRAFT! ....

 

[xcellerate]

starcraft sucks. There so many issues i have with it. Like having to build two different turrets--one for ground and one for air defense. Then the turrets that are for air defense don't have a shorter range than the air units do, so the turrets are worthless since you need air to air units to bring them down.

plus, total annihilation owns it. Such a better game, it's nice to be able to build an air unit and it attacks BOTH air and ground *gasp*. Or maybe have one turrent that can attack both air and ground *holy crap*.

Have you considered that despite you thinking it's annoying, that they built the game like that for a reason.

Oh and Starcraft rocks my boxers.

 

[VictimOfScience]

This has got to be one of the most disappointing threads ever. No Diablo 3 announcement whatsoever.

And enough of the Starcraft discussion--start a new thread for that if you like. Maybe call it something like, "Starcraft 2 unveiled!" or something. :-\

Someone should close this thread because its been proven to be nothing more than a decroded piece of crap.

Oh, and a Diablo MMORPG would blow.

 

[TheSomeone]

Yeah... the air and ground turret thing was a balance thing. And you can always build bunkers and get your marines longer range.

 

[Sainku]

Hell is invading Heaven? I hope I am the first one to grab the name Kenny.

 

[Lucid]

No shit, It'd be like every single other MMORPG out there.
A Starcraft MMOG would own my soul, though.

Omg take protoss you ****ing newb.
Terrans can also just build bunkers, thus attacking air and ground. Just because "Omg, it's to hard for me to build 2 things" dosn't mean you have to be a ****ing newb.

Why don't you check out UMS? The only people who hate sc are those who havn't played it online for more than few minutes.

Such a better game, it's nice to be able to build an air unit and it attacks BOTH air and ground *gasp*

OMG! thats amazing!
Starcraft has:
-Scout
-Wraith
-Battlecruiser
-Carrier
-Mutalisk

maybe have one turrent that can attack both air and ground *holy crap*.

Omgzzz da photon cannon!
