-Updated graphics with a new Havok physics system
-There will be 5 classes. Two were already shown. The Barbarian and the Witch Doctor.
-Random environments.
-The player will see familiar locations (Tristram) and faces.
-The multiplayer portion of the game will be played over Battle.net.
-No release date has been set.

(Summarized from the official FAQ and Video presentation)

Notes II:

-New "hotbar" skill system for easier access to skills.
-Potions are still present, but you can also pick up health globes from defeated monsters.
-There is no more potion belt.
-New loot system: Each player sees one unique drop per monster (Similar to Hell Gate London). Only the player will see that drop and no one else. (eliminates item grabbers).
-Diablo 3 will use a new and more secure Battle.net for the online portion of the game.

(Summarized from dev conference)

Story:

"It has been twenty years since the events of Diablo II. Of those who faced the Lords of Hatred, Terror, and Destruction in the battle over the fate of Sanctuary, there are few still living who can bear to remember the horrors that the Prime Evils wrought upon the world. And of those who did not witness the terrible events firsthand, most believe the stories to be little more than myth. But something evil is stirring once again in Tristram, and it may already have claimed its first victim: Deckard Cain."

A couple pics: 1st being Deckard Cain (on the right) and a Witch Doctor

Re: Diablo 3 announced!

okay, I will use the symbolic pills of advil and bayer to recover you from this massive splurge of news
 
Re: Diablo 3 announced!

:lol

Seriously, I haven't received such shock since I found out about Starcraft 2 being announced!

If this game isn't a big hit... then Blizzard must have finally given up and humanity is doomed because of it. lol
 
Re: Diablo 3 announced!

DUDE!!!!!

Whaz up?


I've looked over the compatibility, and typical, I need to get some upgrades to my PC to play it. I had this same complication with so many PC games I've wanted, and this is one of those I KNOW want ever come to grace a console.
 
Re: Diablo 3 announced!

yeah this wont hit consoles ever

so you should prollly get a new comp

and a better internet connection
 
Re: Diablo 3 announced!

not fussed about playing it online, so to me the online capabilities are about as useless to me as a hammer to a fish bowl. I'd upgrade my comp a bit more merely to cooperate for the requirements, the minimum at least.
 
Re: Diablo 3 announced!

Well if I didn't know better, it'd have the same specs as Titan Quest.

1.8 GHz. Processor, 512 MB RAM, 5 GB free HD space, NVIDIA GeForce 3/ATI Radeon 8500 or higher.
