That looks quite cool. Just need over the resource systems, and they seem quite clever. Only read Demon Hunter so far, as that's probably what I will play first.

Black and White would have been a better choice for the DH resource colours although I still think it looks great.

Can't wait for this, seems like I've been waiting forever. I'm betting I don't get a beta code though, and have to resort to watching the livestreams .

not impressed

 

[LeJosh]

Doesn't look very exciting as of yet.

The artistic quality is sublime as usual but it doesn't shout "diablo" to me at all.

Thanks,looks like it's offline atm though

Ah sorry about that, must have ended soon as i gave you the link

http://www.twitch.tv/fluddastud Witchdoctor stream for anyone interested.

Looks..... nice! Colourful like WoW colourful, which is a shame, but gameplay looks basically like D1/2. Excellent. I'm in!

Edit: for me, it all comes down to the music, now. That's what hooked me into the atmosphere in D1/D2 so much. I still listen to those sountracks.

 

[FutileBreadMachine]

Thanks for the stream links guys!

Looks like they haven't implemented auto-pickup like in some other games

My poor mouse.

Edit: I take that back, I saw in the Witchdoctor stream he just ran through the gold. I'm sure I saw the guy clicking it in the Wizard stream.

Can't say i'm excited about this now. Wish camera angles were better graphics were better its a let down imho.

Switching from the isometric viewpoint would be a huge blunder for a Diablo game.

Looks good, particularly as it's only Act 1 on normal. I'm not expecting to see lots of thrilling action from the beta, as Blizz have stated. Not sure what people are exactly disappointed about. What did you expect to see?

@RG Gold is definitely auto pickup.

This is where I don't get this, throw in 1st/3rd person views and dam straight away more people will play. Game will play better. I'm not liking the look of this from the streams currently.

Words can't even begin to describe the epic facepalm here.

Have to agree.... keep it iso! Otherwise it's just not diablo...

 

[waso_dude]

Maybe its facepalm to you oldschool players.

I saw the stuff from blizzcon and i thought this looks like it will be good. But looking at them streams... i'm not so sure. I'll wait for my beta invite then give it a go. Or just purchase it when its out.
