Diablo III Discussion

[gameranand]

there is a way to find that out.
play SC2 and see if the FPS drops into single figures at intense situations...
if its really bad...then yeah your CPU won't be enufff.

Well I have played SC2 and it ran pretty good even at high settings well with some minor hiccups and frame drops at extreme fight situations but it did ran quite well on ma PC.

It is hack'n slash, dude. Diablo has always been hack'n slash RPG. The best, I might add.

[furious_gamer]

^^ I got confused and with that fight i completely believed that it's a pure hack-n-slash....

What do you think of the game screens? The graphics, the art style,...the game is in the alpha stage but IMO it clearly rocks...obviously everything will be polished according to Blizzard standards ..... but tell me your opinion.

[furious_gamer]

^^It's awesome and i cannot express my expectations here, but man, i am eagerly waiting for this game.

[Neuron]

After Diablo 2 there hasn't been a true hack n slash RPG.Also in no other rpg did i see such huge collection of weapons,armor and enemies.Itching to play this one.

[gameranand]

Well about weapon and Armor you can go to DAO but yes diablo has its own class and no game can fill it up.

Looks like the Mouth of Sauron.

I feel cheated by this batch...the tomb viper art is actually and old piece from diablowiki.com and the second item is one of the numerous (read=lame) PvP Arena screenies that has infuriated a lot of people.

I'm happy i didn't 'Like' the Diablo facebook page.

Ok, time for some news from my side. Hope its likeable.

Here is the concept art of the Tristram Tunnels by Victor Lee, Lead Art Designer of Diablo III.



A guy called Darkrusader made a 3D-conversion of the concept art above using ZBrush. It surfaced on the internet about 10 months ago and has been a rage ever since.

See the unaltered shots of the 3D-conversion in UDK engine.

Spoiler:

There also a video of it on Vimeo. The clip was taken in the UDK engine.
Watch and enjoy.

The environments in this game looks good ans so do enemies. I really liked the indoors of this game.

Yes. And it doesn't just look good, the gameplay is good too. ^_^

About the "indoors", I would call it environment actually... the way the game is gonna be played has changed vastly just because of the environment... both the players and the enemies can and will interact with the environment and try to use it to their advantage... destructible walls, doors etc. traps waiting to be activated... along-with other mechanics will lead, hopefully, to an immensely engrossing adventure that is the game, Diablo III.

Lord of Destruction's Influence on Diablo III

Note: For those who do not know, Lord of Destruction is the Expansion Pack of Diablo II.

[gameranand]

Yeah in some games indoors sucks but in this game it rocks. Thats the beauty of it.

You still think that morons will release this game anytime soon. I almost lost my faith and don't want to get hyped each and every time i see a new batch of screenies released. WTF!!! Under development for past few years and still no announcement. Too bad for a company like Blizzard.

They'll announce the Beta date soon enough. There'll be a conference in May this year.

I used to hear these kinda news very often and nothing will happen after that. Lets see what they'll bring this time. An excuse for delay or release date for beta.

[gameranand]

^^ Man its Blizzard and thats enough for me.
You see they released Starcraft 2 after 10 years from starcraft and what an epic game.

[furious_gamer]

^^ That wait doesn't mean that the company is doing some serious ****. If so, then most of the big companies will take decades to release the sequels, just to keep the hype up.

[gameranand]

Yeah you are right but still I have hope for this game. I seriously get frustated when they release batch screenies or something. I mean WTF?? Can't they release a gameplay trailer instead of that sh1t. Who have time to see those crap.

Why should they even bother with these P2P games? How many copies of D3 they gonna sell? 5 Million? 10 million max? When they have 11 Million customers ready to pay $15 a month, I think it's safe to assume that they are least bothered with D3. At least Runic games making sh!tload of money from diablo fans, thanks to Blizzard.
