they probably arn't going to drop the series... there is alot of hype going about now and it would be dumb to drop it... too many people are excited...
well apprently blizzard has been working on d3 for 4yrs, is seems strange that blizzard would abandon d3, after spending 4 yrs or time and money on it. (some fans would go ape)
yes some higher ups of diablo left, but didnt blizzard make attempts to replace them (see job vacancies on Blizzard.com)
Gamingsteve.com seems to get a lot of his info from blizzard, so he would have said something if it was cancelled

they are definately making a new diablo, if u looked on gaminsteve.com he is friends with one of the people that has been working on it, and the reason that it is taking them so long to make is because they made it and it didnt seem fun at all so they are having to go remake everything about the game
lets see WoW has been out for how many months??? each member pays $15 a month and last i heard they had over 1 million people on WoW a month... so $15 million a month... not to bad, is that enough of a budget??

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
true sylvos, the budget for blizzard is fine, i dont se y they would just cancel production just because the designers left.....well it was unexpected but...if they are picky in there selections of employees...then i shouldnt be a problem
If they cancel diablo 3 i will go on a rampage.....i was waiting for this game for like 2 months now or something(exagerated), i would just be crushed if they stoped the making of this brillant series....i would go nutts!!!!!
i believe they may have made something that wasnt good, so they went back a redesigned it. diablo is a hugely popular series, more titles in that series are guaranteed to make money. diablo III, Diablo III expansion Diablo IV, Diablo IV expansion, Diablo V are pretty much a given, ok Diablo IV may have been pushing it.
starcraft ghost was canned coz it was on console? and blizzard knows its leading series WC, SC, and diablo tank on console.

I dont believe they stopped the making of diablo3. This post says they broke up in june of 2003. Since then they've had a couple leaks that point to a new diablo. The job hiring is one, and that guy in europe who said he helped record the music is another. 3 years later; they have to have a good team built by now and probably a year or so to completion.
you think gamingsteve has any trueth behind his story? any chance he actually knows someone working there and his friend is leaking him information?
yeah the only thing that gets me questioning gamingsteves info is that the same guy that predicted and released a lot of true info about WOW exp burning crusade leaked the D3 stuff and the stuff like names of the new places in wow and flying mounts that were RIGHT ON COULDNT have been made up... so he has to know something... i think there is a high chance he was correct about something in all that

Diablo 3 - The Lord of Terror shall once again roam the earth and leave a path of hellfire in his wake.
well if hes right tahts awesome because that means d3 is a definate
I like the heaven vs hell idea as long as its not bright and happy
a DARk version of heaven would be cool
The reason being for this was when several key developers of the Diablo Series left. So I'm guessing they had to cancel the games they may have thought of and brought about the table so that the new employees hired at Blizzard North could come up with ideas on their own.
As qouted by Geoff Fraizer, the canceled game was a "Blizzard North kind of game," which in turn only points to a Diablo game because Blizzard North created and worked only on the Diablo series, unless they were to bring out a new Series. Most likely it was a new installment of Diablo, but who knows...
Dude.... read the last paragraph on that link. It says that they shutted down blizzard north and and said that it will move the remaining employees to its head offices to resume the ''unannounced project'', which most believe is D3! and this happened last year, meaning they're might be working on it right now..
*gg on the necro on the post ;)*
