they need to release diablo 3 soon. Been waiting far too long!

It shouldn't take them long to get the first act out. Don't worry. The full game should be completed by about 2017 if they release 1 act per year for the price of a full game.

might just pay it

might just pay it

Yeah thats what worries me...

I remember seeing a due date for 2008 and so I built my previous PC for the spec stated...humm...

 

[Shamikebab]

I can't believe it's been this long

I can't believe it's been this long

I can, look how long SC2 took I'm hoping Grim Dawn (un-official titan quest sequel) will come out sooner and fill the gap. Dungeon Siege 3 looks good as well!

If anyone hasnt yet played Sacred 2 while waiting for this, BUY IT NOW!

This game is taking way too long.

It seems like forever since that guy came out on Stage at BlizardCon and was playing that epic Diablo 2 song.

Indeed we've been waiting a very long time for a good follow-up to Diablo - because Diablo II certainly wasn't it.

From what I've seen of D3, and it's no more than anyone else, it certainly looks promising.
But there - so did Hellgate: London

HG:L was probably the biggest let down for me in the history of gaming.

 

[Indie]

all blizzard games ae worth the wait though, in my experience at least

HG:L was probably the biggest let down for me in the history of gaming.

I liked it and still play it but then I like Borderlands too which is very similiar.

Just heard from the live stream that the beta is due to go external in Q3, and they're aiming to release Diablo III before the end of the year.

Not much of an update really..

 

[Garee]

Confirmed by a blizzard representative that beta is aimed for July 1 - Sep 30.

What was wrong with D2? Defo better balanced and better thought out than D1. And it actually had a cow level

Same here! I expected such great things. I still have the game in the box here. What a joke that was.

I have high expectations of Diablo 3 and it certainly looks promising, used to love Diablo 2 back in the day, but unfortunatly it hasn't aged too well, hopefully Blizzard wont push it back further than the end of the year.

What do you mean it hasn't aged well? The graphics look as good as they need to for how they did the game. It has its faults but they've been present for a long time and are nothing to do with 'ageing'.

 

[gronf]

What was wrong with D2?

Just what I thought...

 

[Lithon]

With beta apparently coming in Q3 and closed alpha already starting I can't see them getting it out much later than late this year/early next year, as they won't want people spending too much time in beta without buying as it cuts down on impulse buys.

Also I've only just seen a Q&A stating that games will be a maximum of 4 players - I can't help but feel like I'd miss the chaos of 8-player grind fests a lot. Having played mmo's for a long time I can't help but feel like 4 players will be like a constant instance feel. I just hope they don't turn it into basically a free to play dungeon finder kind of mechanic. Be put in a random group, complete quests, get achievements and never speak to them again. Here's hoping otherwise!
