Whilst the other thread is pure speculation, and I had intended to leave it in Non-School, this thread is for game details, footage and screenshots:

Screenshots from a video camera:





The website: http://eu.blizzard.com/diablo3/

Blizzard is being sketchy, but it seems probable it will use Battlenet 2.0.

The game is centred around co-op play. It's not an MMO.

It's designed to be low-end - "If you can click a mouse, you can play Diablo 3." Sort of like Diablo 2 was, respectively. Also good in terms of minimising lag, no doubt.

Also judging by the videos and stuff, the game is at least 50% done.

There will be a singleplayer mode.

There will be a hardcore mode.

You get to choose both your gender and class.

Secret cow level? "No comment."

Barbarian is back. New Witch Doctor class.

Tristram is back. It was repopulated by merchants and advneturers. The Tristram Cathedral/Church should be interesting.

Deckard Cain is in Tristram.

Diablo 3 is set 20 years after Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction.

There will be PvP (no doubt requiring mutual consent this time). They've set it to 8 players per game for now.

If something in the environment looks like you can interact with it, you can you.

The game world will be bigger and deeper.

"Anything you see on the ground is yours; no mad dash to pick up loot."

"Our aim is to make it a better role playing game."

Hopefully they reduce the saturation a bit.

Trivia: Blizzard makes $120 million dollars in gross revenue each month from WoW alone.

Uhg, yeah. I'm worried because I start uni again next year and I'm meant to be trying harder than ever.

And I can't afford a new comp, either. Fuck me.

See sig.

Is that confirmed? Because that was my first worry.

I can't wait it looks awesome, I've kind of gone back to playing D2 online so having D3 to play will be sweet. :D

Im guessing, because its over Battle Net.... Blizzard has never made a Battle Net game through which you have to pay a monthy subscription... or atleast not that i am aware of. :)
