I wonder what else they could add that would be more different than new characters and new items... :scratch:


New level's/area's...uh.. .they'd need new bad guys seeing as the Prime Evil's are like... gone? Maybe D3 (when, it comes) will be about what happens to the worldstone... Maybe the worldstone got corrupt and became Baals new soulstone?! :cheesy: :scared:

I dunno, but it'll be interesting anyway.

OT: Whats WOW Like? I dont have the funds to buy it, lol.

-Dace; closing in on the goal, to save the universe from imploding-
 
I highly doubt it, at least for right now, since blizzard is shying away from Diablo and working on their other games. But they could come back to it and make a sequel sometime this eon...or the next one.
 
Bah blizz games... I will not play WoW and would only sniff at D3 if it ever is made.

Blizz has to do some reworking and change of ways for them to remain a respectable video game company.

Real money maker would be Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3, why another warcraft game when comparing them to their other lines shows that its not as liked at all.

Wierd... (Im betting a Diablo MMO would bring a bigger crowd that WoW)

Diablo 2 hardly has the most innovative of play mechanics though, does it? Most of the compulsion comes from the collecting and trading of items rather than any outstanding gameplay features. Obviously there's some strategy and skill involved, particularly in PvP, but it basically boils down to clicking on stuff lots, especially for melée characters.

I'm not dissing D2 at all - I find it very compelling. I like the character-building, the community aspects, the free online play, the lure of finding new super-rare items - but I would never suggest that it's doing anything particularly clever or difficult or innovative.

So what I'm really trying to say is that I don't think there's any need to fear for D3 just because a few guys have left Blizzard, because I know there are a thousand things I could think of to make Diablo better, and I'm not even a games designer.
 
Some magazine doign a special of WOWC, said that WOW is replacing blizzard's D3... So i doubt it, WOWC is just a more EQ version of diablo.. But d2 still looks better.

Yeah,yeah :yawn:

Diablo 2 is one of the best RPGs on the market so don't tell me the gameplay is not innovative and there is nothing special at all.
 
Diablo 2 has the most bare elements of an RPG that it should not even be given such a title, at best it is an action-RPG.
 
there isn't gonna be a Diablo III seeing as the entire Diablo programming staff left blizzard and scattered to the winds

The entire programming staff didn't leave, just the senior programmer.

I hope they come out with Starcraft 2 before Diablo 3 because that would be totally tubular.

I think Diablo 3 should be a prequel back in the horadrium days and such, that would be pretty cool.

Indeed. Imagine meeting a young deckard Cain :)
Should have some kind of time travelling involved, so it still could take over after Tyrael smashed the worldstone.
Or... Tyrael could flee through the ages (backwards), escaping the wrath of God or something. And the mission would be to prevent him from bringing the ancient evil ones to live.

When will it come out? Don't know. Will it come out? Don't know. Would it be better if Bill Roper and gangs' new company bought Diablo trademark out and made/released it? Definitely! :)
 
I think it would be nice too see, but with a few differences from D2. One would be more non-essential but rewarding quests. Less linear game play that requires you to backtrack to previous acts. More low end unique items and if they keep them, runewords. Balance between melee and casters would be nice too. And lastly, use the other two lesser evils, Azmodon and Belial.
 
At this point dont hold your breath to see D3 come out anytime soon. Mostlikely it will be our grandchildren who will return to play a different version of D1 and D2. We may get to see VR becoming a greating thing in home computers, and I am not talking about that cheap stuff that you saw in the malls.

Now that comment came out of the blue.
He wasn't saying anything you write about.

I agree with him -- the graphics engine could have some *cough* polish for example. :)
