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.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
