I know Blizzard has released anyhting to my knowledge but I've heard some rumors that a Diablo III is in the works, and will be released in a couple years. Anyone know anything of this?

I came across something related to a ? D3 in one of my computing gaming magazines. A friend has the mag right now. When I get it back, I'll post the reference  ------------------ To ask well, to answer rightly, Are the marks of a wise man: Men must speak of men's deeds, What happens may not be hidden. -Havamal(Words of the High One) (edit/insert)Hehe...Boomspeed just went down and I disappeared!

If there is going to be a D3, I suspect that it is going to be a MMORPG, like everquest and asherons call. It certainly should be fun to be in the same 'game' with all those thousands of other players. Hope it doesn't make modding harder, thanks to those hard working dudes I play this game for almost 2 years now. ------------------ "A metal heart is hard to tear apart"

The pc mag I have (still w/ friend) focused quite a bit on current and future releases of MMORPG's...?...-SpIder, The "clown guy"/harlequin was just a temp image for my false Harleaquinn ident.

Dont forget, Blizzard has a brand spanking new 3D engine, and if the response to Dungeon Siege is any indication of how gorgeous it can make a game, I fully expect Blizzard to release a Diablo III (3D).  Besides, Blizzard has two 'secret' projects that they havent released ANY info about. Wouldnt be suprised to see one of them show up as a Diablo product. ------------------ The frost. Sometimes it makes the blade stick. Darkness Weaves The UTC Project

Eh I just heard a bunch of stuff when I was seeing how my old clan was on B.net. They said they heard some stuff so I wanted to ask you guys. Ya one of those "secret" projects is probably a DIII.------------------ I'll never give half to a rat. I'd rather bang in your face with a bat.

/me guesses... World of Warcraft is one of those secret projects. The other is likely Starcraft 2.------------------ But I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby, maxing out Iron Maiden maybe... -Freshmeatus

At that, if Blizz ever does decide to put out a DIII, it will be talked up and hinted about forever before its release.  *recalls the time before DII* ------------------ To ask well, to answer rightly, Are the marks of a wise man: Men must speak of men's deeds, What happens may not be hidden. -Havamal(Words of the High One)

Future = MMORPG Diablo format != MMORPG-> Future != Diablo Too bad... it'd make a nice MMORPG. But the linear easy/hard differentation does not match a MMORPG where there are no real aims and no sense of progress. People want to be able to beat Diablo... in a MMORPG that would be the end of it, but if they can't they would be annoyed.  ------------------ But I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby, maxing out Iron Maiden, baby... -Freshmeatus

Future = MMORPG?Do you realise that only a relatively small subsector is willing to fork out for a per-month fee?  WOW is going to sell far fewer copies than D2. The monthly fee will easily make that up profit-wise for those that do buy the game, but it's still an "elite" market. I think trying to make WoW accessible to the casual gamer is funny, they'd have to be a rather dim or wealthy casual gamer to spend money month after month on something they don't play much. If you mean that the future should be MMORPG, well I ain't touching one of those pay schemes with a ten-foot pole. I wanna be able to mod it darnit, only NWN gives me that

please look at the following Wow @ EBgames.com55$ for WoW most games are 19.99$ per month aka 20$ 1 year of a game @ 20$ a month = 240$ 240 + 55 = 295 + tax where able now a normal price game is 50$ you can buy 6 games and a RAM upgrade for 1 game with a year subscription. lets find the logic. Then write a logic handler cause that isn't logical to buy 1 game when you can have 6

Nope. Let's see... $50 for the game, $20 per month. If only 10% as many people will actually play WoW, each of them would have to play it for 22 months for Buzzard to gain more money than they did with D2. Goooood luck. About NWN: it is based on D&D. Bleh. That would be game #11257 with exactly the same characters and skills. Suuure. From the official website's FAQ: quote: 2.18 When you cast a spell such as magic missile or melf's acid arrow, do you have to aim it?

Hmmm, its a rare thing to find someone that does not like D&D... well, let me take advantage of you post Brother Laz, and give a message to all the good folks heading for Dungeon Siege: At least characters have skills in NWN. Dungeon Siege was such a disappointment, characters are all the same, the skill system is poor, the combat is boring, simply for the fact you just have to clik once and be ready for clicking the "H" key in your keyboard in case someone needs healing... Surely this game will have great modding potential, but the skill system and the action just make it not worth the playing time IMO. ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Okay, I'd figure I'd release my knowledge of what my dad found out on some site. In Diablo III, it's 3-D. You can go to a bar, get drunk. The bad part with that is that when you get drunk, your skills go down. You have new monsters (Of course). New charcters (like always). That is basically what my dad heard from some website. I'm guessing that the two 'secret' projects are: Diablo III, and StarCraft 2. Because they've released information on World Of WarCraft already. SO that isn't 'secret'. That's all I know.------------------ Final Fantasy MOD Graphics: 10% done!
