I havent actually. I only got in once with serveremulation crack to see what it looks like. Maybe I should play it a while to get used to it and see some more of the world. Where can I download a demo with trial account?

Who knows I get addicted to it then I have something play untill D3 will be reallity.

Right now Im playing God of War on PS2; one of the best third person action games on playstation. You play Kratos a barbarion who actually looks very much the same as the one in D2. On your way you also aquire skills and get to activated or update them by finding red orbs by killing demons, open chests and break stuff. Its a really cool none-stop action game and not easy too. It has some good puzzling like tombraider / Soulreaver and with every skill you activate you also get another set of combo attack moves, so there are plenty of ways to fight your enemies everytime.

Exactly, first person only is an insane thought for a Diablo game. Though since it will be 3d, some different camera angles and custom options like a switch to fp view would be something to add optionally.

Btw I dont hope the new Diablo will go down the same changes as Warcraft did from WCIII to WoW-3D. I'm not impressed by this 3D conversion but maybe thats just the style of it.

First, regarding the view, you need to read a little more closely. I think that is what I said... unless you consider Doom, GTA3 and UT to be "third person".

Grand Theft Auto 3, if thats what you mean by GTA3 is definitely NOT a first person viewed game. Cmon, have you even played that game? :confused:
Shooters like Doom, Unreal are but not GTA, they never have been.

But, so you want to play Diablo in first person I understand. First person mode will improve the spooky effect but in my opinion not be better in gameplay. You will have no overview on your team players for example. And from this view only a horinzontal view is possible so like I said it will be difficult to aim your spells on groups of monsters if they are behind eachother. Besides if you are viewing from the characters own view you dont see the class itself.

A switchable view mode would be an option like in Hellgate London will be the case. But not only from first person.

I understand what you mean but an outside cam view is not called first person but third person. In first person view the character's own view is being simulated so you don't see "yourself" but only the sword or gun you're carrying for example. Third person view mode is when the camera is outside of the playingcharacter; this can be behind following the character or can also be in overhead view. So defining the persons view mode of a game does in fact not yet define the overview mode.

For Diablo's gameplay a first persons view mode is inpossible. Taken the amount of enemies you have to deal with at once, a kind of external cam overview is necesary and most probably a close behind character view mode would either not be playable in Diablo.

If Diablo would have be in FP/ TP mode it would be a whole different kind of game. How can cast spells on groups of enemies if the show up behind eachother. You need a bit of overview with large battlefields.

I always use Skype free internetphone in the background when playing in a LAN with friends.

If we have to wait any longer you can probably expect it to be 4 instead of 3 dimensional. Maybe even "Duke Nukem Forever" (ten years in devellopment currently) is released earlier then Diablo 3

The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period. And yes, we know the game has taken a long time. There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard.

I tried checking this game. Downloaded it along with a crack but couldnt figure how to play on custom hackerservers. I could get into the game but apparently there isnt much to do when you are not live and connected. Is there a demo to download along with trial account or something?

yeah well, then let's just hope they invest the amount of money in expanding human life as well

Any word on if this will be a pay game ? or free to be hacked in a matter of months d2 again?

I wouldnt mind at all paying for a D3 as long as it is as great as D2. I truely respect the art and creativity put into this franchise. But fucking not make it pay per month. This will not leave you the freedom to play whenever you want. What if you bored playing the game for a while and after some time or years you want to start playing again and the developper has decided to close the server or something, your legally purchased game would be worthless. Once bought, I want to be able to play whenever I want indepentend of anything. Its great to discover a expanding playworld while playing the game but I rather buy an expansion pack once in a while then having to pay each month for minor updates!

mmo not mmo hackers no hackers... I thought this discussion was about the (3D) appearence of the eventually Diablo sequal.

Or has this thread suddenly mutated into a general chatroom about anything releated to D3??

There is a mod expansion for Diablo II called "Back to Hellfire"

A new version is just released, but I believe it's for 1.10 so that's why I haven't played it yet (I have no room on my hd to install D2 a second time with 1.10 instead of 1.11)

All monsters from D1 and Hellfire are put into Diablo II and charactersclasses from D1 are playable. Check out all the features on the official site here.

Sounds like fun to me. Has anyone played this yet?

Also mountains where you are able to kick skeletons of the cliff like in Golden Axe would be cool.

hmmm yeah I realize now because if you click on the topside of your screen for example, your character is not moving or swimming up but moves over the horizontal.

I liked the idea of a scene traveling by boat and fighting on deck levels. Ofcourse the size of a deck area would not be to big to fight monsters, even if two or more levels deep but I imagine a boat right after everytime you beat a specific group of enemies, a new group jumps ondeck from sideway the land or from bridges the boat passes or even from trees above.

Maybe an underwater level to go with it would also be a fun idea. Having your classcharacter swimming and having to conquer enemies not only around him but every direction also above you and under you. Underwater you have lot of new possibilities for enemy types and you can find treasures and ruines underwater.

Only thing is how can one breath underwater that long without diving equipment? :rolleyes:

It definitely would be nice if they are already making plans for a D4 this means the current team is far from tired of the series and would at least mean they have put enough enthusiasm in the next Diablo III.

I would like to know the story before Diablo to know what the game would be about if it would came out. But im not really a book reader so I probably won't buy the book. Maybe you can find a ebook or pdf version somewhere.

Probably the time to make a D4 will be less then the time it took to go from D2 to D3 because the team have moved over to Blizzard headquarters, they have made a lot money on warcraft and.. the new engine for the next generation Diablo is already made for D3.
