i would shit myself and probably play that.

seriously, if you could get any unit in starcraft and level them up? fuckin' A man. that would be incredible.

I can see it now...

Siege Tank is overpowered, Marine is fine, Hydralisks need buffs.

If its diablo 3 it better not be like WoW. I know tons of people love WoW but I don't feel like paying a month fee to play a game.

 

[Piuc2020]

If Diablo 3 is an MMORPG then Blizzard will no longer be my favorite PC developer, if they stick to the singleplayer action-RPG with optional online they'll have a KILLER hit on their hands, apart from WoW, everything Blizzard makes is pure gold, that's why their developments cycles are so insanely long.

Also this might mean nothing but check out the new job posting for Blizzard:

" Hot Job ?
Lead 3D Environment Artist
Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a lead 3D environment artist skilled at creating models and texture maps for both architectural and natural environments. The ideal candidate has experience modeling and texturing assets for a diverse visual range of environments.
Take a look at the job posting here. "

Take notice where it says, developer of Diablo and Diablo 2, there are much better known games made by Blizzard out there, why specify Diablo?

i'd feel bad for anyone doing concussive damage (firebats, ghosts).. they always seem to get pwned

It's almost Saturday here, and should be morning in Paris (WWI)! I hope we get some info soon, all this teaser talk is giving me a bad case of nerdy blue balls.

LOL. I have the page opened up and it gets refreshed regularly. I have to give their market department kudos for this.

 

[Sylvanas]

Release day: Diablo 3 announced, Internet explodes. I hope its good .

 

[slugg]

My room mate... an interesting fellow... Photoshopped the blue crystal explosion into the Goatse pic and showed it to me. I think the only thing COMING OUT is his sexuality!

Sorry for the hype, guys!

 

[RedArmy]

Just updated!!!

Edit: It has either be Arthas or the Lich King, however the texture around the eyes almost makes it look like a Protoss, but that would be very...odd.

 

[Chronoshock]

That doesn't look like Diablo.... wonder what the new rune means

 

[slugg]

ok this is definitely Wrath of the Lich King...

Look at the art style of the ice in the two images:
WOTLK
ice5

 

[Chronoshock]

For the 50 billionth time, blizzard has confirmed that it is a NEW game. WOTLK isn't even a full game, let alone a new one.

 

[Jschmuck2]

What if they're not eyes at all?

 

[slugg]

sorry

incoming PM...

 

[wart]

I like the previously stated idea that it is Baal signifying the return of the Diablo franchise. I mean Baal WAS in an arctic zone (Act 5 had a ton of tundras including the Ancient's Plateau). Maybe the prime evils are gathering up to create a figurative Megazord of evil!

 

[Kromis]

Man, Blizzard sure knows how to fuck with us

 

[Chronoshock]

Here is the finished hidden image (obtained by looking at the comments in the CSS) : http://i165.photobucket.com/al...uathain/Blizzard-1.jpg who knows what the hell that is.
The number ids for each pictures, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 are an obvious homage to Lost, but no one knows why. The names preceding the image (icy, tundra, cavern, cold, etc.) are also a mystery, although many of them are suffixes or prefixes of Diablo 2: LOD waypoints. The last two, harbinger and evil_penguin seem unrelated.

EDIT: Correction. Just the WWI page is loading slow. Main blizzard page didn't change.

 

[slugg]

Which one? The evil penguin? Link to all pics so far

 

[wart]

Well I'm not so sure about D3 anymore, thanks to our friends over at kotaku.com

http://kotaku.com/5020164/bliz...-penguins#viewcomments

But then again, speculation is speculation! Blizzard could be hiding a wrench in their pants while we all huddle over these pictures shouting out random ideas...

 

[slugg]

no i mean... where is blizzard releasing the evil penguin pictures? I'm looking on their site and dont see it...

 

[Czar]

That penguin makes no sense, the only context a penguin game works is in a kiddie game.

 

[Modeps]

Well, I think we can only really wait till tomorrow to find out the truth. I have no idea what to think anymore.
