Blizzard introduces Diablo 3
Filed under: PC


Joystiq will make any sacrifice to bring you the latest news -- even if it means flying to Paris, France in order to attend Blizzard Entertainment's Worldwide Invitational. Only seconds ago we were shown a cinematic from Blizzard's newest game: Diablo 3. We're currently being shown a live demo of the game (which we're reminded is a work in progress) by lead designer Jay Wilson. The look and feel of the game -- though graphically updated from its aging sibling -- looks a lot like the dungeon crawls we all know and love from the original series. We're promised more loot, more quests (and some old friends like Deckard Cain), and new environments. We'll update you with more information about Diablo 3 as we hear it!Permalink | Email this | Comments

Looks shiny, but want SC2 more

I sunk many, many hours into Diablo and Diablo 2. I will almost certainly do the same with 3. I'm just pissed because it looks like they're going to be replacing my Necromancer with with Witchdoctor!

I've never played Diablo I'm not sure why.

Me neither, apart from recently and the simple graphics put me off so that doesn't count. Don't hate for it. I'm sure it was/is awesome but there's newer games to play.

This new version however looks amazing.

Well, you could play Titan Quest, it's a straightforward Diablo ripoff.

Which is what I did between posting that and reading your reply.

The Dungeon Siege games are kind of similar too and I slightly prefer them as you aren't stuck with the fixed view.

What TQ and Diablo both had though was that sometimes you'd get REALLY good, almost inappropriate drops which would have you pwning most enjoyably for a few levels.

Yes, looks like it will be a very good version of TQ.
Deject will be pleased.

"Stay a while and.."

"No one ever listens!"

Me and Pete did a LOL or 2

I did have to bite my knuckle at the hilarity of deckard cain getting interrupted.

Due to boredom I've started playing Diablo II again, and as such, this news excites me greatly.

Wowser, another one to be excited about. Absolutely loved Diablo 2 and still do. Looking forward to this. That fight towards the end was impressive
