Diablo 3 is being announced AS I TYPE THIS! Stay posted here for updates!
Video was amazing looking. Demo is being shown and I will try and find an upload of it.
Looks like you can enchant weapons now.
Potion use minimize/eliminated. Lots of blood being shown. Destructable environments.
Really looks like it will be the diablo we know and love as it is in isometric format and it is NOT looking like an MMO.
Wilderness areas similar to the vast open areas of Diablo2 are making a return.
OMG they just showed a WALL OF ZOMBIES! AS in you can SUMMON walls of zombies for your protection
HUGE bosses to be seen as well. The screen was blurry and the lettering small and in French BUT it was something HUGE that they fought.
There is a press conference going on right now. I am hoping they will have copies of the video to provide to us though that may not happen. At the very least our reporter is armed with all our questions and we should get some answers soon
Will be both randomized and static maps, new settings/cities. Dungeons will be randomzed..new feature- adventures -where events are randomized.
PC and Mac ONLY. No console versions planned.
New 3D engine developed specifically for this will also be used in starcraft, so some similarities there.
Exploring lots of options to include such as voice chat.
No character customization available, multiple claases, only choice will be male / female.
No indication of character levels or end game type content but did say that leveling will be based on xp + other no details though.
Expected to be a quick to get in game able to play in small bursts, unlike wow. They dont expect much wow crossover. (Expect this to be like the other Diablo titles, not like an MMO)
Too early for a release date but its already been in dev for 4 years with a team of 60 devs (this is in line with what I've been telling you guys since I was hired here at Onrpg)
New version of battlenet in the coming months, will see in conjunction with starcraft dev also, no more info avail. (OMG you mean I won't be lagging out as much anymore? )
New health system to recover health when single player or coop. recovering health will help entire group making everyone a sort of healer.
Currently can support 8 players but will probably end up with less to ensure good gameplay.
Want to include pvp possibilities but will not comment on what sort of features yet.
No info on skills or talent trees.
Mobs in game are also collaberative, they work together.
New loot system unlike wow, u only see your own loot.
Adding an online community and online experience but no details.
No current discussion of auction houses or similar however they recognize they need something to stop in game trade and make a good system.
Want to include enchanting AND socketing with gear!
No plans for mounts.
Cool new inventory system that will include ability to trade with your other chars.
Will not be a mod- friendly game.
The Dev Panel says player amount is not a problem in terms of technology. What specifically was said was that the game was being designed for around a group of 4-5 players.
When asked if there would be any secrets that have to be discovered like the Secret Cow Level, the reply was "That's a secret". :p
