like it’s 1999. Remember the Prince song? Who would’ve thought that 1999 would come and it will be not be remembered as THE big party. Blizzard has confessed they’ve designed Diablo 3 around the specs of a 2008 PC. Blizzard games are intended to be accessible, and that’s seen through game design as well as [...]

Diablo 3 opening cinematic
Published December 2nd, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsThanks to Shacknews, we have the opening cinematic to Diablo 3. Frankly, I’m not too crazy about the art style (the hand-drawn part looks like any speedpainging video on Youtube).

Published November 20th, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsIt seems that the rules have changed a bit when it comes to the Diablo 3 beta sweepstakes. It seems that instead of sending 2000 beta keys on December 12, they will be sending 200 keys each Monday (until December 12). If you are already playing the Diablo 3 beta, congratulations!

Diablo 3 cult game status revoked
Published November 17th, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsLooking at the coverage from Blizzcon 2011, I had a sudden realization: Blizzard cannot survive on cult games any more, they need blockbusters! With the wild success of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has turned from a company specializing in cult games for hardcore gamers to a generic game company producing for the average Joe. It’s [...]
Diablo 3 Chinese players OP
Published October 22nd, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsThere has been a lot of argument about the new Diablo 3 Auction House and the fact that you can purchase items of real money.

Diablo 3 moon physics
Published October 13th, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsPlaying the Diablo 3 beta for hours, one gets used to the unrealistic physics effects. Now Blizzard claims these are totally intentional and not an accident: It is absolutely intentional that the barbarian’s skills have crazier impact physics than other classes, because we think that fits with the visual and feel of the character – [...]

Published September 23rd, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsOK, we’ve suspected this for a bit… Blizzard’s Ron Pardo has been spinning the truth for the last few months. They really wanted to release in 2011 but… (fill in the blank). It’s now official: Diablo 3 is postponed for early 2012: HELL FREEZES OVER — DIABLO® III TO SHIP IN EARLY 2012 Despite a [...]
Diablo 3 Skeleton King gameplay video
Published August 23rd, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsI checked Gamespot’s coverage for Diablo 3 and there was a video called something like “two friends looking for the Skeleton King“. If you think the title is bad, you should’ve seen the video! Ten minutes of mindless dungeon crawling with NO actual sighting of the Skeleton King. So if you are interested in the [...]
Diablo 3 Demon Hunter revamp
Published July 23rd, 2011 in Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the media. 0 CommentsDiablo 3 Demon Hunter was announced last, so it stands to reason that it is the archetype in most need of fine-tuning. After all, the Barbarian is almost identical to it’s Diablo 2 counterpart. The Wizard looks very similar as well. Blizzard, however, has been sending mixed signals when it comes to the scope of [...]
