Diablo 3

[Full Speed]

I liked the first Diablo's darkness. I like the second one more for the gameplay, but I thought the darkness was kind of lost. Third one seems to be going even further in that direction.

Third rendition is starting to border on Dungeon siege which was very light. Wouldnt mind seeing a 3rd dungeon seige though now that I think about it.

Dungeon Siege 3 is due out next year I believe.

Dungeon Siege 3 is due out next year I believe.

Yes, but it's not Gas Powered Games developing it. They sold the franchise to the publisher Square Enix who is having Obsidian develop it, although Chris Taylor is supposed to have some input in the development.

Dungeon Siege 3 Teased with Teaser, Screenshots - Shacknews - PC Games, PlayStation, Xbox 360 and Wii video game news, previews and downloads

Heh.... when folks are talking about DII, are they actually remembering DII as it was, or remembering it with the expansion pack? Remember, DII on it's own didn't even do 800X600 res....

As far as playing goes... seems to me that the original Diablo was a lot less open ended than DII was.

I'm still hoping for a new open ended game a-la oblivion......

@sswilson: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Diablo was very linear, where in order to beat Diablo you had to destroy every enemy on every level to gain enough attributes to kill him. Sometimes the game would spawn a huge amount of those spitting demons all in one spot, and they would all attack at the same time, right at an essential doorway to get to the next level. That was brutal. You would have to go back to town a lot just to get past that doorway. Gotta love spawn bugs (or maybe it was intentional ).

Diablo II opened up the door for leveling and provided way more replayability I think. But I still love the dark and evil surroundings from Diablo.

Hope it will be a good game.

Pretty sure it's gonna be good; hopefully it has the same longevity and re-playability of Diablo 2.

Blizzard knows what they are doing. They take their time but are working on a best seller again.

No need to compare d1 to d2 or d3, as they are completely differents games with different styles. Both are good.

so will it be like SC2 in terms of how hard it'll run the hardware? or will they have fixed the bugs by then?
