Diablo 3 Announced at WWI!

Perma · 06-28-2008, 02:42 PM

That's right, after so many years of speculation, Blizzard has finally announced the development of Diablo 3 today at the Worldwide Invitational in France. You can discuss it in our thread here or check it out for yourself at the Diablo 3 website.

I can't access the site, must be getting a lot of traffic due to this. Still, I can't ****ing believe it. Diablo 3...but diablo's dead.

Indefinite · 06-28-2008, 03:27 PM

Well, they'll prolly figure something connected with the shattering of the Worldstone.

But as far as they posted their trailers on the site, there's still no sign of any gameplay trailer seeder.

han_han · 06-28-2008, 03:33 PM

The gameplay trailer isn't all that exciting. I mean, I'm surprised and all, but nowhere near as psyched while watching it when comparing to how I felt when I watched my first SC2 gameplay trailer.

Perma, make me a D2 maphack.lolol

Anywho, will you be venturing on your third grand quest my friend? I know after all these years, I have awaited its calling.

... There goes my 10 bucks. But... Omfg, D3 is coming out!!

test-acc · 06-28-2008, 04:52 PM

I am more excited about D3 then I am about SC2.

Eeek! And I was a die hard SC player too.. more then I was for D2. What's happening to me!?

Cantinflas · 06-28-2008, 04:54 PM

I fapped to the Teaser.

Perma · 06-29-2008, 01:26 AM

I'm also a much more avid Diablo fan than any of the other Blizzard franchises.

p_025 · 06-29-2008, 01:42 AM

France? Why there of all places?

test-acc · 06-29-2008, 02:53 AM

France because that's where Blizzard's HQ is maybe?! Plus eSports is very big here in Europe and its between Paris and Ireland on where this WWI was to be held! And Paris is a lot more central and accessible!

Perma · 06-29-2008, 03:40 AM

Blizzard's HQ is in Irvine, California. But yeah.

FlamingAsterix · 06-29-2008, 04:33 AM

I thought they chose France because of the huge french userbase that the Diablo series has accumulated. Just like they chose Korea for the Starcraft 2 announcement.

Haha, yes you are right, but there is also one for Europe!

Perma · 06-29-2008, 04:55 PM

Yeah that's true.

Arcanite · 06-29-2008, 06:48 PM

Rather France than in South Korea like it was last year where it's miles away from anybody. But then, they did announce SC2 so...

Blizzard is owned by Vivendi Games which is a french based gaming company.
