As I've said in so many words, most Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft fans are interchangeable in games. So I don't even think Blizzard needs to think about which games would be the most popular at the time, they only need to know that their games are popular, period.
What I've wondered is that surely by now they're so big, there would be a Blizzard North, East, South, West, all developing these different games. Or at least a North and South making Starcraft and Diablo.

Apr 29, 2007Siaynoq posted a message on Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!Hmm, I never even considered it would be a new franchise. If that's the case, I wonder if it would be a magic/fantasy game or sciency spacey game. Or something more akin to a regular Earth setting placed in our current timeline.Posted in: News

The time is so ripe for Diablo. I'm putting my money on it. -
Apr 27, 2007Siaynoq posted a message on Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!This is great news. And even if it ends up not being Diablo 3, I still believe it is inevitable anyway, so I'll celebrate a Starcraft 2 just the same.Posted in: News

Mar 27, 2007Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionI don't think it means squat. Not much, true. But I think to some extent Blizzard likes to see how much people care. Even in the end, we all petition and vote with our money, just to say we are here waiting and are anxious, I believe that means something to them.Posted in: News

Feb 20, 2007Siaynoq posted a message on The Final Diablo 3 is Coming argument"The only argument I disagree with is that they say "Diablo 3 is a license to print money". Unless you've been under a very large rock the past year, Blizzard already has a license to print money, it's called World of Warcraft and it pulls in almost as much cash in a month as Diablo 2 has pulled in overall. The only question now is, is it worth it to sacrifice programmer power for a game that is going to generate more publicity than revenue? I imagine Blizzard has discussed the possibility of making Diablo 3 a MMO considering the success of their last shot at it."Posted in: News
I read this comment from that page and I disagree with what this person is saying. Does Blizzard necessarily need to sacrifice programming power to make another Diablo game? Isn't that what Blizzard North was founded for? I'm not sure however how I feel about Diablo being an MMO. I actually feel like you're sacrificing some quality in graphics and in-depth content to make an MMO that is designed to appeal to a wide mainstream audience. -
Oct 10, 2006Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionPosted in: NewsQuote from "AcidReign" »I read that there was a petition for Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit movie. They had 40,000 votes, and New Line Cinema was looking into it now. Hah!
Even then, I doubt a poll of 40,000 votes had any real impact. I'm sure any decision to make the Hobbit would be mostly based on the success of the LOTR trilogy in theaters and DVD sales, merchandise, etc. They know the fanbase already exists, and not just the hardcore fans either. -
Oct 9, 2006Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionYes, while I'm sure a petition doesn't make a huge impact one way or another, I still believe that the people at Blizzard are interested in what fans are thinking about these games. I've noticed a lot of people are cynical about polls, but if it none of it helps, none of it certainly hurts either.Posted in: News

He was also reminiscent of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. I'm sure that was obvious to most of you though.

I don't understand this logic. I thought because the Worldstone existed, that angels and demons could easily enter Sanctuary, not the other way around.

Interesting theory. And I believe what you were referring to about Cain was when he said, "Where the actions of Hell often seem straight forwardly bent on destruction, the motives of Heaven are unfathomable."
I've wondered that with the soulstone destroyed and thus the link from Sanctuary to Heaven/Hell gone, perhaps there'd be a game about another different world that was created. That those angels and demons still have influence over.
This of course seems very unlikely since I think Blizzard likes to develop a single universe for each game and then develop that and allow it to evolve.
Have many of you read the second Diablo book? I forgot the demon's name but it wasn't any of the prime or lesser evils. It was this other demon who was very patient and calculating and waited till the time was right before it began exerting its influence. And it didn't seem to exist in Hell at all but some other dimension. So it's possible a third Diablo could just have a completely new made up demon.
And I really don't see a game where you'd fight an evil Tyrael. Tyrael was just enigmatic, a sort of maverick angel who didn't necassarily agree with either side. Obviously he was against Hell, but disagreed with Heaven that they shouldn't interfere with Sanctuary because if Hell was going to interfere, they might as well have.

I do wonder, however, if they made a D3, if they would change the view of the game altogether and make it all in third person like the view in Fable or something.

I'd also like it to be somewhat open-ended. Not nearly as much as Oblivion, but more than just moving straight through like how Diablo really is.
I also liked in the first Diablo how you'd get more quests while adventuring and not just in the towns. Like that goat guy who was making the weapon for you or the or the hell knight who asks you to help put his spirit to rest. Those were some of my favorite moments in the game.
The whole point of having way more items of all kinds I'm fairly indifferent too. Out of the tons of items I felt there already were, I knew I'd still never get to see even half of them all. Ugh, I do remember however for the set items always getting parts of the Sigon's set and it drove me crazy.
