Couldn't agree more, I can't wait until the 1st! If it's what I think it is, then we are getting very close to a game announcement, most likely within the next year or so, if not within a few months *cough June 29th cough*.
Yeah, I can really feel a Diablo III hint on May 1st, and an announcement at the WWi on June 29th.
You probably have an exciting life to not notice time go by :D.
I don't know. I guess I am just also interested in Age of Conan open beta.. and they won't tell you when the sign ups start except this week, and the open beta starts on May 1st...
At least I have 2 things to look forward to on May 1st.
Being more serious here.. it's just gonna be a small Diablo III hint to keep us going.. nothing huge - but it will be all we need to know Diablo III is coming and we will know Diablo III will be announced on June 29th at the WWi.
I still believe the site will change, Blizzard will take it and the only page that comes up when you type diablo3.com will have new concept art of Deckard Cain saying "Stay awhile and listen!"
Sorry but you are wrong. When movie studios get involved (Warner bros in this case) there are financial backers who will not stand to have their investment written off - it will be released good or bad.
I hope we all get honorary beta invites for long term members if it is announced on this website
Blizzard has it taken care of. Legendary Pictures is taking care of the movies for Blizzard, so I don't think they want to release a crappy a movie.. they have a reputation too. Didn't most of the Legendary Pictures movies make over 200 million box office? Blizzard said they are putting 100 million of their moneys into each movie.. with Blizzards reputation, and Legendary Pictures reputation.. I think we will be fine.
Now watch, if it does happen to be the movie, the rights will be given to Uwe Boll or Michael Bay. *gag*
Indeed, gag unto me with a spoon.
Let someone better suited take the helm. Peter Jackson, or one of the Scott brothers. (Tony or Ridley).
Uwe Boll has the uncanny ability to absolutely destroy a series, and Michael Bay has no regard whatsoever for lore and traditon, or facts.
I believe Blizzard will do a massively good job on their movies - just like their games, and if the movies don't go too well, they will just not release them to save their reputation.
I updated the book review thread. Not just because of your quote above, but because I have been checking the traffic tracker and found other forum communities around the web taking this same conclusion. The book review I wrote has nothing to do with the countdown teaser and no it is not a book announcement either. Veiled Prophet was published on September 2007.
It just happened by coincidence that the review is there. By the time I wrote the review, there were no plans to place the countdown. The announcement was going to be made on May 1 without a countdown. It was just an evil touch ploy to get the excitement rolling two weeks earlier toward May 1 -- to make sure everyone finds out by said date.
Again this is not about a book ... they do get their fair advertisement spotlight by accident since that's the latest newspost.
Indeed. A site merger or a site layout update doesn't cut it to have all the fuzz going on. It would be a cheap hoax if a site did all this for a mere layout change. I emailed a few key gaming sites. And the countdown teaser is spreading and gone viral faster than meant. Some may be wrong in their speculations, some may be right or close. And shooting down layout change, merger or book rumors will certainly stun a few into thinking frenzy.
Lots of replies in this thread are from very, very ignorant individuals.. either they have not been around here enough to really grasp what is going on, or they are just so hardheaded and closed minded into what they believe versus what actually is going to happen... they need to stop posting their thoughts.. because it is just so off its unbelievable.

No patch
No book.

No Diablo II anything.
It will be something about Diablo III, just wait til May 1st - This countdown wasn't going to happen in the first place, but MD decided to make one anyway, Blizzard was going to announce something on May 1st anyway he said.
Sit back, and just wait - something HUGE is going to happen - Umaro and MD would nevar pull something on us.. hell - they even said they were not.
1) Hint to Diablo III without giving it away, and an Announcement at the WWI, and a cinematic trailer + gameplay trailer
2) Announcement on May 1st, a cinematic trailer + gameplay trailer, and a Diablo III panel at the WWI
One of these will probably happen.
There has to be something Diablo III related at the WWI... no way they would have just Sc2 and Wow's second Expansion there... waste of time if that's all that is there.
The reason people say it's a countdown to a new Diablo book, is because when you cick the Blizzplanet countdown link, it links to the front page of this site, and the first article you see is about a book. Umaro or MD you need to fix that!
