Proof that Diablo 3 is Coming!?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
