You can tell the same lie a thousand times but it never gets any more true so close your eyes once more and once more believe that they all still believe in you......
its all about marketing and promotion. Blizzard plays with it very well. They know that announcing any sequels of their games (which have a strong fanbase and some of them play WoW atm) would distract the fans from the almost finished WoW expansion. They know it better than i do, they're professionals
And they confirmed they wont announce their "under-dev" games before releasing the expansion.
ok....well kinda sucks they need to hurry up and announce it so that they can announce d3 already! god i'm getting really impatient now...lol^^

See, I know that the whole not realizing information about their under-development games is the right thing to do, but I really don't think announcing that Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 is going to come out a year from when they announce it right after they realize Burning Crusade. I mean, after they announce it it will probably be another year, and it is not like people are going to not buy Burning Crusade to save money for Diablo3/Starcraft 2, computer games don't cost that much.

What is at issue is the conversion of the mind from the twilight of error to the truth, that climb up into the real world which we shall call true philosophy.
I have to agree with Athursrein, Diablo was the starting franchise for Blizzard that shot them through the roofs with sales not to mention that the Diablo series is one of the best games i have ever played. They need to come out with a new sequel. IF they don't, i would have to say that Blizzards will be losing, i don't know, . . . a crap load of customers. Millions.

There have been confirmed legitimate leaks from blizzard employee's that D3 was indeed created and finished and then scrapped. There are also confirmed legitimate leaks from blizzard employees that it is being completly remade. Ask Gaming Steve personally or go to his site. He has immediate connections to blizzard and several of their employees are his personal friends. While he cannot legally state it he talks about it using a fake company and game name in a way any idiot can understand.

First of all, judging from the report, Diablo 3 was never scrapped. The belief is that Blizzard is reworking it until it is perfect, and are not in a rush to release it after the fiasco with Starcraft Ghost.
But this is uncredible source from anonymous sources. I could do just as well by taking a dump and doing a telepathic interview with it. When he shows proof of his overall credibility, then I will believe him. Although I would not be surprised in the least at the release of a Diablo 3, if someone is just going to pull that statement out of his ass, then he better have cited sources. Yes yes, he doesn't want to risk his friends' jobs, but there is no point in publishing this information unless he has proof.
For Hell to claim Armeggedon, Heaven will claim cleansing. Whatever the outcome of the war might be, his holyness will rise for the Light and claim those souls of the damned.
This, really isn't proof. That first video is a trailer of WOW, isn't? The other two, looks like someone just threw together a clip of garbled graphics. There is no proof here.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
I dunno about you guys, but I don't think Blizzard is stupid enough to stop a series like Diablo.
I just gotta say something to this
AMEN!!!
to think that blizzard would not put D3 out is a very foolish thought indeed,
and to think after the success they have had with WoW that it will not be MMO with so much story content that people play it for years on end with a fee month to month and eventually an expansion to get the people who played it a while and left to come back would be foolish, they will put it out, they will also put out another starcraft game eventually to cos lets face it
warcraft, diablo, starcraft and rock and roll racing are the only memorable titles (if you say vikings i hope you get ran over by a large barrel donkey kong style) give time for WoW to fade into the back round and people to move away from it onto better newer games and they will start the hype of D3.
better yet wait for them to buy this domain, i only hope the admins tell everyone that they sold it
Allright then. THis is my debut post after following the LONG excrutiating developments on this site. And I must say, some of the bull!@# that came out here just..got the best of me. It seems uninformation is the best denail of em all eh?
Ok firstly, I used to be a D2 addict. No jokes there. I still consider D2 as the mother..and father of all modern RPGS. Diable was the first rpg to break out of the gay stereo type fantasy with all the elves,dwarfs and bud-headed races. Diablo had that grim dark feeling to it and there was NO JR TOlkien viking mythology raped bare fantasy CRAP included. Thats why we all got addicted to it. Well that and the excellent gameplay and story line. Yes, d2 was a damn nice and original rpg. And thus far all the hack n slash rpgs that I have seen..in fact all third person rpgs so far that I have seen are just blatant copies of D2. I tried playing titan quest..and guess what!?!? THose thiefing brain dead spineless crap faced buttwhipes simply stole d2, slapped a new name on it and claimed it to be "the most original rpg yet!" WTF?@? I ask you d2 fans, why aint those developeres linched yet!? Thats blasphomy in my eyes. But anyways, to hell with all that, the point remains d3 and what it may be about ect ect ect. Well, firstly, that so called "proof" of the musician dude that went to the Czech republic for music recordings is just plain bull! So is all that guildwars footage that claims to be d3 trailers. I'm no detective, but for #$@@# sakes people we all know blizzard. WHen they do something, they do it GOOD. IF they had released a trailer (or cover design) YOU would have allready KNEW it. Believe u me..stuff like that makes waves on the net. Yes i know, we are all so desperate that fake stuff like that deserves a second look. But be patient. D3 WILL most definately come. As I speak here, i KNOW it is under development. We all know it. The only remaining question is WHAT? What will the game be about this time? ALl the prime evils are dead..and we know blizzard aint lame enough to make some miracilous prime evil ressurection. Blizzard is known for their excellent story lines and something as lame as diablo rising from the dead to plague the hero one more time..thats just not blizzards style. In fact if you study D1 and 2..you will know that the entire story line has been well wrapped up in LOD. SO what could the possible story line be about? I have read forum after forum, and it seems that diablo fans in general tend to lack originallity in that area. Of the few sites that polls suggestions about d3, i have read stuff like "they should include an elven ranger!" or some really ..reaally...stereo typic GAY crap like that. I mean common people?! Are we all that stupid? Isnt it clear that diablo got famous for NOT being stereo type fantasy? If u want friggen elves and dwarfs go play your..whatsisname..dungeons and dragons crap. You will hear from me again...
Bluthammer out
First RPG's were DnD. Diablo isn't even an RPG. It's a hack&slash thing.
Perhaps you are talking about the setting? But Diablo didn't revolutionize much. Fantasy Tolkien setting still prevails. Unfortunately. I hate elves too. Except Vulcans.
LMAO
ok mate.. diablo is as classical third person rpg as you can get. In fact diablo2 sets the pace for MOST modern third person rpgs. WHich just so happens to be a hack n slash rpg. A bit of history from us old timers: RPG as in role playing game does not referre to playing "a role" of a hero..right? Role as in role of the dice. Based of the classical paper based rpgs. you know..axe damage 10-13...which ever random intiger you strike...thus RRRROOOLLEEEEE playing games. DOnt argue with an old timer mate. I'v been playing RPGS since the old blood magic games, back when 286's was still top of the line.
ANd uh..dnd the first rpgs? Do yer history first mate. DnD is as much a pirateering venture as any modern game franchise is. DND was the first popularised stereo type rpg..yes for sure. But by now means the FIRST rpg.
Personally I adore J.R Tolkien's creation, for he did that in the TRUEST sence of real scandinavian mythology. However the bloody DEMON seed that followed Tolkien's work is just plane unorignal rif raf. DnD is the best example of this. There is absolutely nothing unique or origenal of those games. In fact there are few games that can sport SOME origenallity, D2 is one of them. The diablo series took the story of heavan vs hell as in typical old catholic context and turned it into quite a nice and grim game. Something which very few rpgs can claim. Besides all this, d2 is in a class of its own. AS you claimed, d2 is a classical hack and slash rpg. but tell me, how many hack n slash rpgs have you seen before diablo 2? Oh yes, thats right! diablo 1.
My point simply being, diablo is in a league of its own and all those who followed and tried to capitalised on the idea, FAILED horribly. Just look at that cheap rip-off Titan quest. I sincerely hope those developers die in excrutiating pain eh!?. But enough of that. What do you believe d3's story would be about? I have heard some theories that it might be to do with Tyreal's history ect ect. I dont really see that as a blizzard idea. In fact, i dont think the "diablo 3" we are waiting for will even be..diablo 3. In fact, I believe they will make a rpg that plays in the aftermath of LOD, but NOT a diablo game. The setting might possibly be the lesser evils who try to take heavan as they allways wanted. Or something else. I am convinced that the minions of hell will be at the core of the story. And if my guess is correct, we will see Tyreal and a lot of good old faces and names die.
However, I read some stuff on viviendi. They intend to spend more on mmo games. They own blizzard as well. This strikes fear in most of us classical gamers. MMO's are the worst f@#$#$ creation in existance. They take socially retarded teens and make them complete #$@#$ ups!. The worst part is that people pay for their lives to fly past them while their nailed to a screen. No argument that mmo's are fun, but we all know those kids who just dont have enough self controll and disipline to simply get a life. Instead they grow acne fields and cultivate them with loads of junk food while sitting behind the 17' world that they pay for. EH, but who cares about em. BWah!
Lets just hope d3 is a excellent single player improvement of d2 with better multiplayer support than d2.
