Is there gonna be 1.12 ?

I hope Diablo3 will remain a fast-pace hack'n slash game, I mean action before all, with a better part in teamplay and strategy. I'm also not very fond of 3D at all cost. Don't forget that Hellgate : London will feature many aspects of a Diablo's sequel :rolleyes:...
 
Whatever it is, It's sure to make me happy.

D3 would be awesome but since Hellgate London's around the corner I wont morn if D3 is still many years away.

Heh they should call the RPG starcraft "Starcraft Universe" instead since it fits the game settings more.

But yeah, aren't we all tired of the swords and magics settings? Let's roleplay with some high-tech stuff hehe. It's gonna be like eve online... except blizzard would probably come up with some crazy game idea and own it.

I completely agree. I think there is a huge void of sci-fi RPGs. I've always been a fan of science fiction literature more than fantasy literature, but there are few RPGs with a sci-fi setting.



 
I usually prefer fantasy over sci-fi. But as far as computer games go, the difference is really just in the artwork.
 
this is out of context because im responding to the first page...


THERE IS NO WORLD OF STARCRAFT lol... im serious it was a joke and now it is a rumor which is not true.. Blizzard officially announced that the world of starcraft rumor is not at all true..

Story? Characters? Themes?

I should’ve explained myself a little more.

Both fantasy and sci-fi break the rules of reality. In fantasy that is accomplished through spells and in sci-fi the same is done by far out technology. Bill Roper even called the guns in Hellgate London for "spell delivery systems". Instead of a wand shooting bolt of energy the character is holding a gun, makes no difference except in the artwork.

As for story, it usually is the classic hero vs. villain thing in both genres and therefor the character are also similar. You find the hero, villain and often a betrayer in all these games.

I agree that the theme is somewhat different; sci-fi tends to be darker. The Diablo 2 series is a notible exception.

For example games that are simular:
RTS: Warcraft vs. Starcraft
RPG: Diablo vs. Hellgate:London



 
I reckon there is too much money to be made on D3 to totally ignore it completely...I think they have it in their heads. Just on the backburner imo.
 
Like Merick, I'd love some more Sci-Fi in the RPG genre. It's harder to pull off though and not many developer's are willing to take the risk. The instances wouldn't necessarily be the problem IMO, it's getting there in a believeable way I think is the problem. It's doable, we just haven't had the right developer make it yet. Hopefully HG:L will encourage other developers to push the boundaries.
 
i hope there will be no 1.12 (if there isnt going to be any big changes). just adding few new runewords and reseting ladder wouldnt light me up.

but im waiting for d3.. or something like that :grin:
 
I hope there is 1.12 patch and wouldn't be at all surprised if it hapens soon.Looking at past ladder resets/new patches blizzard has spent a lot of time updating arreat summit before the ladder/patch was released.

Anyone notice the host of updates to arreat summit recently ??
Again I may just be optimistic :laugh:

Arreat Summit is all rights reserved 100% owned by blizzard and updates are undertaken by nebu aka gfrazier.Certainly the information being updated is almost entirely provided from diablo2 fan base however the actual updating of the site is blizzard's responsibility.

Arreat Summit is a direct link/strategy guide from blizzards homepage.The times ive noticed numerous updates to Arreat have been around ladder reset or patch release.Maybe this is wishful thinking or maybe its a ...sign ::wink:
