Tonight on Sci Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters, the team investigates Diablo 3. Is it real - or merely vaporware (cue spooky music).
All kidding aside, I don't think Diablo 3 will be out in the next several years. Blizzard already has a successful fantasy RPG on its hands with WOW, and the best business decision would be to diversify by developing a next-generation RTS. Looking at all the splash and record sales Command & Conquer 3 is generating, the Bliz devs would be idiotic not to return to the Starcraft franchise. They would double their investments in South Korea alone with a new Starcraft title. The only thing I predict will speed up Diablo's development cycle is if Hellgate: London becomes a runaway hit. |

Diablo 3 would be utterly nuts as an oblivion kinda game (twitch combat, aim your sword/bow/magic) with actual player skill involved yet i think its basicaly made around point and click. |

just because its an FPS doesnt mean it couldnt be FPS+RPG. OBLIVION. I wouldnt want to point and click my way as a marine around, i'd want to be able to run around and shoot things myself, and just think of the suspense while running through a zerg hive.
Just because its an fps doesnt mean its just UT (Original) or Counter-strike 1.6. Im just saying i want it to be twitch combat. You could still follow a storyline nad complete quests but i'd much rather Shoot myself then point and click each time i wanna shoot. I want some damn change with the way all these games are being created but they should balance the game around PVP not PVE, cause thats where things go wrong and items become the basis for everything in a game. Should be more player skill than items level (www.darkfallonline.com) |

I played D2 for a long time and had SIXTEEN level 99 toons; but I can’t imagine what they would add to D3 to make me even consider playing it. Sure, the graphics would probably be much better but the Diablo series gameplay is very structured and linear:
Step 1: level your character, select talents/skills Step 2: run high-end dungeons over and over in search of rare loot Step 3: participate in lame, gear-centric, PvP Does that sound familiar to anyone? I don’t think Diablo as an MMO is likely since it already exists (but with another IP’s lore). |

Originally posted by raykorwell i have to agree that d2 went along with the steps you put, but that's not all, there's lld's, hardcore, crafting, and you can always try making a char you know will suck but would be fun while doing it, like an enchantress with a widowmaker. |

I hope they take the WoW route with Starcraft. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't want an other "easy-mode" MMO, what I meant was they take the smae route in terms of releasing games for the Starcraft IP. First, they'd release Starcraft 2, which would build up to SCO(Starcraft Online). The third announced game would be Diablo 3 then, if my wishes were granted.

It won't be Diablo 3. The majority of the Diablo team all left to make Hellgate London. My guess is it'll either be World of Starcraft or something new. A starcraft MMO makes sense for a couple of reasons, namely they've got a whole bunch of unused Starcraft content left over from the unreleased Starcraft: Ghost (that's how they made WC3, they were making a game called Warcraft Adventures, but they canned it and used the leftovers to make WC3). In addition, I'm told they've recently been hiring lots of people with MMO skills. "Because it's easier to nitpick something than to be constructive." -roach5000 |

I think it will be Starcraft Online as a FPSMMO, a tactical shooter with character development. They could be pulling some reasources already developed for Starcraft:Ghost. |

D2 is very limited. I beat the game in a few months & felt the devs could have done a lot more to add replayability. But I guess they don't want you to play forever for free. WoW has more potential for replayability but theres the monthly fee. In a way, WoW is D3. Starcraft MMO has great potential. I think Starcraft2 RTS is a guaranteed hit also. But I rather see MMO. And for people that like to control lots of units, make a necro or commander. Its frustrating when companies don't listen to players. It makes you want to make your own game. And Hellgate, the environment doesn't turn me on, I see nothing special about the game, I think i rather get titan quest. |

Well there is a team at Blizzard working on Diablo 3, you just won't here about it until they decide to publish. Blizzard is rather particular about announcing half finished games. Pretty sure that the new game being announced on the 19th will NOT be a MMO. So if it is Starcraft it will be a Starcraft II rts game. |

lets all face it, all the evidance points to "The lost vikings universe"
"Lost vikings um 3? 4? " And the third title being "The lost viking gold edition" Although i doubt they would announce a starcraft mmo in korea as i think the korean would riot and stap them on a nuke and sent em home!?!? |
