One of the first comments we heard came from a friend back in South Africa. She told us that a friend said that her husband, who's is big into games and the computer industry, said that it was gonna be like WoW in terms of gameplay and the "fact" that it would be only online. Immediately ignorance claims 2 victims other than the philistine himself. Then I hear more reports from friends all over that they heard its going to be more like WoW. And what brings me to write this is this article. Yes some idiots have actually started a petition about it. So this is in response to the FUD and stupidity out there about Diablo 3.
Dark, gloomy and deeply rooted in the diablo universe.
Click and run game play.
A promise of offline single and coop modes, taking Diablo 2 style gameplay to a new level in the same direction.
Now if people are complaining that they have given Diablo 3 a 3D engine and moved it into the modern day of high speed internet connections for those who have, whilst still maintaining point and click game play and the amazing feel of Diablo 2. If you have any doubt, and some to spare, watch the gameplay video. By now there must by tonnes of low res versions available on the net, so a poor net connection is no excuse. Also look at the screen shots.
At the time of writing this, the Diablo 3 site was really behaving badly, so there are some links missing which I would have wanted to put in, maybe I'll do it later. Sadly I also wanted to download the gameplay trailer so that I could watch it again and a few times after that. And then my wife could watch it again and a few more times. Being both big Diablo 2 fans, we're excited about this one. And anyone who enjoyed Diablo 1 or 2 is gonna love this. Again Blizzard are doinga great job staying true to their game labels, where Starcraft 2 seems to be exactly what Starcraft fans what, I feel strongly that Diablo 3 is going to rock any Diablo fan's world!!!
Rock On Blizzard! If you weren't in USA, I'd want to come and work for you as a game developer :)
