Proof that Diablo 3 is Coming!?

[ironsight2000]

Today, I find it amazing that NOBODY was saying the Pentagram theory still works very much!!! Instead, giving up hope it's about Diablo, when a Pentagram or what looks like it formed 100%

No, it may NOT be a Perfect Pentagram, but that does have the shape of Pentagram(Maybe that's all what matters) and #s add up to 108, which supposed to be the Angles of Pentagram, people are Ignoring this, why?

I am just dumbfounded that people IGNORE it, out of all of the days.

it was brought up a few pages back

[SuperJediMedia]

Not today!

You stated yourself why people ignore it.

Because it isn't perfect. A pentagram isn't a pentagram unless its correct, otherwise its just a star.

Since you seem to want to twist everything to Diablo, what exactly does ice have to do with the Diablo series?

Don't get me wrong, I love Diablo. I played D2 like it was my job. But besides a Diablo rune and Diablo being a Blizzard series, nothing in the picture says 'hey, this is D3!'

I'm still leaning toward it being a release date announcement, even though Blizz never makes its release dates.

[ironsight2000]

I would like it to be Diablo III, but after having our hopes constantly brought down, I won't hold my breath.

Also, someone made a comment about "it not being the original Diablo creators" and that it would just be another game with "Diablo" stamped on it. Are you saying that no one but those specific people can create a sequel? Not anyone else but them? I've seen Hellgate: London, and if that's all to come out of the original team, no thanks. Get someone else in fast, and deliver us a decent game.

Seriously, the argument that it "won't be the same" is kind of lacking. People said the same thing about Fallout 3, yet when in the hands of the original creators, was nothing more than reused graphics with little innovation. It seems people are just totally afraid of change, even if it is for the better. If all you expect is the same regurgitated game, you may as well stick with the original game and modify it with your own content. As for the rest of us, we can always move on to something new and different, while still remembering the decent games in the past. The future does come with disappointment at times, but it also comes with great promise. So far, the biggest disappointment Blizzard can bring us is not continuing with Diablo. :)

Anyhow though, back on subject, I don't think it would be Wrath of the Lich King or StarCraft 2. WotLK is already very exposed for those that have read the WotLK Wiki and both game and expansion have already been announced. It's most likely either a new game entirely or Diablo III.

blizzard north IS BLIZZARD just like microsoft and windows

Which is a really Ignorant thinking...

If Blizzard made this teaser a Perfect pentagram, that would Prove it is Definitely Diablo 3, with No doubt. They Didn't want that. So they made it Unclear, but providing 108 on top of it to the people that thinks with their brains!

Why ice?

That has been said, it's likely "Hell Has Frozen Over".

Just because something is fact doesn't make it ignorant. A pentagram, as you said, has to have certain characteristics. The runes don't line up to that. You can say 'they don't want to make it obvious' all you want, but that doesn't help your argument one bit.

When something doesn't line up with the spaz attacks you post, that doesn't make it ignorant either. Or is the Lost island still the moon? :rolleyes:

Hell didn't freeze over in D2. Did you ever finish it?

[Guest jgrodri]

That would make the crystal the soul stone then :)

[SuperJediMedia]

But, look at how these clues add up over the months, it's really overwhelming supporting Diablo 3! (Diablo3.com aquired, Novel author mentions D3, etc)

Hey, we will see tomorrow, OK? Arguing with YOU is really not worth it right now, as the teaser could go either way. And, it all depends how you look at all these clues that happened over the weeks leading up to this announcement, to me it's just point more to Diablo 3 than anything else!

I have very GOOD/Strong feeling it will be Diablo 3!!!

I would even BET $100 it's Diablo 3!!!

[ironsight2000]

destroying the soul stone caused every thing to freeze

destroying the soul stone caused every thing to freeze

No, it didn't.

It's a protoss - you can clearly tell that now that the eyes are there. They are probably relasing a gameplay video for them for SC2.

why would they sc2 gameplay videos are out already

who know all we know is the stone was destroyed who knows if hell froze over

[sanctified Veteran]

Honestly, such a hype for just a video?

Either they will announce Diablo 3 or give us a surprise and say that SC2 its gold.

[Lord Nite]

To me, the eyes scream Protoss. While it may be an announcement of SC2 going gold, it could very well be anything.

I'm not holding my breath for Diablo III, as I can live without the game. I liked Diablo II, but I'm not going to be "ZOMG!! ITS DIABLO!!!11!!1!"

[Daxbash5000]

from what i've heard Diablo3 will be a psudo-mmo with factions of Good and Evil fighting against one another with 4 total races that can be played. This info is entirely word of mouth and I have no source or proof that any of that is true.

On the other hand, friend of mine came up with an interesting idea... what if... they are releasing an all encompassing game which will bring the worlds of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo together into one amazing MMO- I personally doubt bliz or anyone else would have the manpower to actually pull off such a feat but it would be amazing non-theless.

When are we suppose to hear the official announcement?

If it's anything like Blizzcon, the opening ceremony of the first or second day. If I recall, WOTLK was day #2? I'd like to think tomorrow, but we'll see, right? I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight. I hope its not MMO, why wreck what's already good? They might dabble with MMO stuff here and there, but I think they wont stray too far from Diablo 2's ways... I hope.

After reading about this, on so many sites and after reading so many opinions and solutions to what the images show..

First I doubt it's SC2 related.

Everyone knows it's in development, many videos about it have been released and also many info about it, only the release date is expected to be announced and I don't think they would choose Diablo anniversary to tell that has the BIG NEWS of the show..

WOW expansion is also in development, many videos about it have been released and also many info about it, only the release date is expected to be announced and I don't think they would choose Diablo anniversary to tell that has the BIG NEWS of the show..

So that makes sense being Diablo 3 or something completely out of Starcraft or Warcraft world..

What may happen is Diablo 3 announcement, SC2 and WOW expansion release date..

So my bet is in Diablo 3 announcement, SC2 and WOW expansion release date..

If it wasn't related to Diablo world, blizzard would already dismissed any info on being it..

And people would be expecting something not Diablo related and wouldn't get there hopes up..

Blizzard wouldn't let all this Diablo hysteria gone so far..

Also there are people outside of Blizzard who know what it is, don't forget a Blizzard game involves hundreds of people and not all work at Blizzard office.. And I haven't seen any official people deny Diablo game..

I'm a SC fan not so much on Diablo, but nonetheless it's great news a Diablo game :)

I read somewhere that the eyes kind of look like the Angel, Tyreal.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Wow, this just hit me. Check it out:

Protoss 1

Protoss 2

The eyes and brow ridge match up. Perhaps it's the announcement of a StarCraft 2 closed beta. Maybe, we'll even get a sneak peak at the new battle net. Remember, I said this first. :)

PS: The crystal overgrowth around the eyes looks strikingly similar to the crystals used in Protoss pylons.

I dunno but I just thought of a scenario of Blizzard, the night before, noticing all this Diablo 3 publicity, originally intending to release, oh let's say Warcraft 4, and then they're like, "Hey guys, D3 is getting tons of rumors and publicity, we've gotta get something for it and announce it." Then they show up with a piece of notebook paper with a sketch of Diablo on it, and then all the people are freaking out about the release and how, ".. oh wow it looks to real, check those GFX!" I dunno, just thought it was funny.

Actually why I don't think it's Warcraft 4, is because WOW is such a money cash cow right now, that they may have fear that it would make them lose some gamers on WOW for W4.. :)

Nah, I know. Personally I still think it's D3, but I was just coming up with another game name to enhance my picture, lol.

[SoCalledChaos]
