[Official] Diablo III


Recommended Posts

The graphics are fine ffs!! If you want visual bling, go play Crysis! Diablo was never about having the best graphics. RPG's are not the realm of hardcore gamers, and only hardcore gamers want to splash out hundreds of dollars on the latest and greatest graphics cards.

Sheesh.

I think the visual style and color schemes that were shown off in the gameplay trailer are fine. The "how it should look" pictures look good too. But honestly, it doesn't matter what the final product looks like (whether it's the vibrant colors or the grittier ones), I'll still be playing the game no matter what. Blizzard knows what they're doing, so I'm not worried at all.

Diablo III is coming? Time to get into shape...

Haha, that is awesome. Made my day.

Some people just don't understand the attraction of games such as Diablo and Diablo II. From day one, it has never been about the graphics but about the story and the amount of immersion it gives you as you play the game more. I have always like Blizzard, mainly because they make games that attract a lot of people, not only those who have high end computers, but those with low end ones as well. With Diablo III, I know I can play the game on my notebook even if it is 2 years old, my brothers notebook might struggle a bit but I think it can, even though it's 5 years old.

Games such as Crysis are nice to look at, but I doubt anyone will be talking about it 10 years from now, compared to Diablo.

Scirwode

fhuigtoraeyvbuietvuiere CAN'T WAIT!! IM CHARGIN MY LAZER!!

Diablo is now a Hydra, or that's not Diablo?

For what I heard, D3 isn't project Hydra. The project is a new MMORPG.

Starcraft 2 + Diablo 2 = Fail studies increase a lot. Must.... resist....

Blizzard is the saver of PC gaming, if they didn't existed, PC gaming could be already dead. I don't know a single game from Blizzard that doesn't suck (besides SC for N64...)

I think he is talking about how in the teaser its eems that Diablo has multiple heads or faces.

Man this looks good. I can't believe it took until this morning for me to find out about it. What the heck! No front page news?? At least in the gamer section? Everyone on vacation? :)

My two questions....

1. When will it be released?

2. Will it support alternate user input types? OMG....my hand hurt so bad playing the Diablo series...too much click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click clickclick click clickclick click clickclick click clickclick click clickclick click clickclick click click....

Lets not forget the other (yes, this one also cares much about PC gaming), Valve. They with Blizzard are probably the only ones left (maybe others exist, but they don't act as much as these two) caring about the PC gaming (and the pro-gaming... Microsoft also does).

EDIT: About the release date... Possibly when it is done. Just like any other Blizzard game. (My guess is mid/late 2009 or early 2010)

I am SO GLAD they kept the isometric perspective. I think it was one of the major things that made the Diablo series. The fast combat, random dungeons, random items, random enemies, class variety, and local LAN play are what really made the game for me.

To those of you complaining about the graphics: go back and play D2 and tell me why you enjoyed the game. Was it really the graphics, (that become outdated on even the shiniest of games 6-12 months after release) or the gameplay that kept you playing?

I am really impressed by the bloody explosions and flying bodies. I can't wait to see more. Especially the other 3 classes.

I still play Diablo 2 on occasion. And I hardly played the first after the second was released. D2 was so much better there was no reason to play the old one. I really hope the same comes true for the release of D3.

The biggest thing concerning me right now is the Witch Doctor class. I really, really enjoyed the "summon specced" Necromancer, and it appears the Witch Doctor might be replacing him. I really hope that they are not shifting the class' reliance from summons and curses to damage spells.

ZOMG!!! D3!!!

I could've sworn D3 would be a MMORPG based on WOW engine,...however, I'm very happy they've decided to stick with the original genre!

Still, I wonder what features will Blizzard bring to DIII from WOW. Item sets? Professions (transmute, enchant)?

<3 Blizzard. You finally started making some use of all the cash WOW brought you! SC2 first, now D3 woot!!!!

OMG, release date?

Soon

1. When it is done.

2. In Diablo II, you could just click and hold on a badie instead of click click click.

I'm a great fan of the Diablo series but, if it turns out to be a MMORPG, you can take me out as a customer. Other than that, the graphics are amazing, the skills look great, it looks like all I've been fantasying for a while came out in a single package, Diablo 3.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
