Diablo 2 made me sleepy very boring

I agree. I think Diablo is lame. WoW is a much better game. Blizzard is benefitting greatly from this MMO so why refer back to the 2D RPGs again?

Diablo + WoW = a decent game. Probably something to consider as long as it is 3D and not that ****ty one angle, helicopter camera view.

I think the announcement of a new Diablo game will confirm that StarCraft 2's development is nearing completion. Perhaps Blizzard has already begun the development of Diablo 3, but I don't know. So far the hidden clues hint to the announcement of a Diablo related game.

Well when they announced Starcraft 2, they were considerably far as is when it was shown at Blizzcon. I wouldn't doubt that they've almost got it done. Most game sites are estimating the fall, but you know Blizz and they're release dates / Set backs. The Blizzard North team had just begun working on D3 before the mob of them quit/laid off, whatever happened over there, so I have a hard time believing they've got a lot, but I'm sure they've started. They've gotta show us something this weekend :)

I don't get it, why would they try to steal any of WoWs thunder?

I mean, since they saw how great MMOs can be I doubt they are going to make another non-MMO alongside SC2.

It has to be, unless they are going back to... Old school.

Cause Blizzard has class. They said themselves, they aren't one of those companies that just produce MMO's. All 3 of their titles are special in their own way, so it's not really going to steal any thunder from WoW. Even if it does, Blizzard doesn't lose anything, it's competing with itself. Money's flowing in no matter what. Diablo 2, back in the day was the equivalent of what WoW is today, back then. What I'm saying is, the amount of people in 2001 that played Diablo 2 was probably as remarkable as the 9.5+million on WoW today.

The fact that that Blizzard have been able to be as successful for as long as they have with 3 IPs; Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft...quite amazing if you ask me. And more amazing is that there have only been 1 Diablo sequel and 3 Warcraft sequels...usually most companies are on their 5th game in the series ;)

So nobody knows what the insignia on the bottom right means or the new one at the top?

The Protoss symbol looks "filled in" now and those eyes just make me think of Protoss.

Edit: Browsed around and found that the day 4 symbol could represent the Arcane Sanctum from WC III (Which is what I thought but wasn't sure.) And the new one today.. I dunno... it makes me think of that battery shield building from SC.

damn I was hoping for a Diablo III, but I saw the new image and protoss came straight to mind. Seems this image is definitely indicating a starcraft/wotlk rather than diablo. Still would love to be wrong but would hate to be disappointed yet again. Damn your mind games blizzard!

I agree, but I still have hope for Diablo III due to the presence of the runes, as I can't remember any of the other games having those kind of runes.

It's still going to be D3. I don't know how to explain, but luckily you will see tomorrow, well at least hear. One reason I think it's going to be Diablo 3 is because Diabloii.net, one of the most popular Diablo fansites, announced that they had an inside source and knew it would be Diablo 3. If they lie about it, they're publicity as a reliable source goes right down the drain. They wouldn't risk that if they didn't have the utmost positivity. For those of you who think it's a Protoss, good guess, but this is Blizzard here. When Haven't they tried to trick us at a game release, or anything other spectacular they've done? Blizzard are notorious for making you think hard, get a headache, and asking for more. Just look at diablofans.com for goodness sake, they've got 100's of pages for each daily image concluding what they consider are their ideas.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.

Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).

Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer.
