Blizzard Presents Diablo III

oh gosh!! blizzard is coming back with brute force! cant wait for sc2 and d3 to come out. definately will upgrade graphics card to play this at max and 1680x1050
 
its almost exactly how i imagined.... i heard, and started running down the streets screaming "diablo 3 is here!" with tears pouring out of my eyes....
 
sweet as heck....dang
 
im watching the gameplay. so frigin awesome i might have to say. witch doctor looks to be a fun char x] barbarian will be fun as well. i final fight scene was awesome. i was like HOLY CRAP when the boss came out haha. cant wait to see how diablo looks like now.
 
i think i may play d2 again now x] i wonder when this game is going to be released. i wouldnt mind it taking awhile as long as sc2 comes out way before it does so i wont have the hard choice of picking which game to play besides socom confrontation on ps3 x]
 
The latest i heard was sc2 aint gonna be out this year read that yesterday :/
 
No wonder. The gaming world loves both Diablo and StarCraft. They wouldn't want SC2 to come out when everyone is beginning to get doped with Diablo III.
 
If Blizzard, and it seems like it with maybe the dates... Starcraft will be out before or right after Christmas, and 6 months later Diablo 3 will come out on their ana. date... With TONS of things for all the fans that have been waiting on this title!

I remeber when War Craft 3 Came out... I went out and bought the deluxe edition, with the other two games, a dvd of the making, lithographs of all the classes crests, and fat manual for the game with story and everything! Best $80 dollars I spent on a launch!

This will be awesome as long as battlenet remains free, and LAN play must still be an option.

Exactly, there's some concept stuff on the site that is dated 2004.
 
diablo 2 was the only game i ever got addicted to. 6 hours a day counts as addiction i think...

trailers still downloading here. seen the cinematic, which is definitely impressive...

diablo and diablo II's biggest joy was the coop lan play. all too often, you'd get stuck or have difficulty (especially on hell difficulty) due to opponents that just outclassed your character type - and having a friend (or three) join in to kick everythings ass was great.

The only reason i still dont play it is technical: 800x600 makes me die inside (expansion added that) and i recall problems with AA and AF not working, making it very hard to make the game look better.
 
Now let me see.....Diablo III + StarCraft 2 = No social life for a year or so.

:D
 
oh
words cannot express my joy

and check out the giant Tyrael on the DIII main page
now THAT's sexy.

:):):):):)
 
OK, my faith is being restored in Blizzard. This and Starcraft 2, I can't wait. It's blizzard damnit, it's going to be awesome, but it's blizzard damnit, it's going to take forever.

Yep that sounds about right :D hopefully the minimum specs for these are a bit exagerated.

i didnt actually notice the specs, care to repost them here?
 
The min specs i seen was for sc2 and they were 7 series card with 256 meg p4 with 1 gig of ram and adsl for online with rec specs being 8 series with 512 meg core2 duo 2 gig of ram and adsl connection i assume diablo 3 will be similar.

Seems kinda harsh, considering that they don't look all that advanced. Hell, thats damn near what Crysis recommends and it looks WAY better than either D3 or SC2.
 
yeah but blizzards minimum actually gives you a good FPS. Crysis minimum gives you 5FPS.

Looking at it in terms of power, a 256MB 7 series card (7600GT for example) is really nothing, power wise by todays standards.

P4 with HT (2.4GHz+?)
7600GT 256MB
1GB system ram (XP)

If people think thats high... well, its not. you can get a basic core 2 system with a 2600xt for under $600 au (no peripherals or screen, but TV out or an old system can save you there)

Actually for $750 you can build a C2D system complete with a case.

And yeah the Min. Specs that Blizzard showed are not that bad since they usually have it right went it comes to that area.
