The more interesting bits are below: The demo begins in the Sundered Pass, a dusty zone that smacks of Lut Gholein's desert lands in Diablo II. Of course, the deserts in Diablo III look far better than those featured in the previous game, with visible winds carrying clouds of sand across the plai… More |

First Bashiok talked about the lack of LAN in Diablo 3 after someone asked a question about it: Q u o t e: All removing LAN support does is hurt legitimate buyers, pirates will have LAN and their free game.It might take them a while to reverse engineer it, but they WILL have it. More so than overbearing/invasive anti-piracy measures that … More

With the current Web 2.0 trends and the ever increasing importance that is being placed on the online components of PC and console games I believe it's time the industry revamped their take on what makes a solid online game. Just about every new title that is being released has some type of multiplayer included and most of the times it just appears as it was slapped on at the last minute to appease the reviewers who are quick to dock points for a lack of it.
I think it's time the developers truly… More

The Bestiary does not only describe the most basic form of these, but also the more upgraded and evolved forms such as the Shaman, Lunatic, Overseer and the Hound. As hard as it is to believe, the fallen ones were once exalted demons of the Burning Hells. They serve… More

So, the system we have now... you'll have to just picture it without any visual representation, sorry. They're not radically different visually except that the trees are all viewable at the same time. Taking the barbarian trees for instance (berserker, battlemaster, juggernaut) they're not tabbed now, but instead all viewable at the same time. Side by side. This is important due to how th… More

Shortly after Diablo 3 was announced, the lead Art Director of the game left (as we reported a while back) and not many people were sure of where he actually went (other than onto a new project). Kotaku reports today that he's now working for iPhone developer "BooYah" which from what I understand the Diablo Devs started. In all, there is three people from Diablo 3 on the BooYah team, in… More |

The first part of the question was regarding how lore would be handled. What an open ended question... well, a lot of different ways. For one your character will be able to speak, and that's pretty huge actu… More

Firstly a fan was concerned about the health orbs in the game, how they function and their effects, especially if they are picked up at full health. This is what Bashiok had to say. Yeah the idea of picking up health globes while at already full health and having them still provide some type of benefit has been an idea bouncing around these halls for quite a while. If I were a bettin' man, and I'm not becaus… More

The first question adressed a fan concern that the gameplay might be too easy to appeal to the casual crowd. We aren't looking to make the game any easier, we're shooting for Diablo II difficulty more or less for normal. It's an easy ramp up, pretty much anyone regardless of if they've ever played a game before or not can get in and start clicking on monsters and kill them with little trouble. Then you have the new difficulty leve… More

Bashiok didn't seem to like this confusion, and so decided to post a gigantic explanation of how the Diablo 3 system works, which is full of great detail, so I will paste it here in full for those interested. I should stress that what everyone was allowed to see was a behind the scenes glimpse at where the UI is now. Bli… More

However I will fill it up with some other Bashiok quotes from the forums to add some length lol, but make sure to read the final quote regarding critters. First someone asked Bashiok about the length of the game. I think what he was referring to was number of acts, I don't think there's any way to judge at this point actual playable hours. Also, for Diablo II, how d… More
