  • snarks, on 06/28/2008, -2/+7It's amazing how polished the game is already. I can't wait!
    • sangres, on 06/28/2008, -3/+3Yes, it does! :)
    • LostnTransition, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2I just think it's astounding they can have this project so far along while still working on SC3 and WOTLK. I'm sure they have separate teams working on all the different games but it's still awe inspiring that they can have 3 great games all being done simultaneously.
  • superbeefy, on 06/28/2008, -2/+18I just had a nerdgasm
  • Rowen7, on 06/28/2008, -9/+5Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3:
    Warcraft? You mean that thing we wasted so much time on?
  • rajinder, on 06/28/2008, -5/+2Thanks for submitting it. I was about to when I saw you did.
    FINALLY!! Diablo 3!!
  • 3drage, on 06/28/2008, -2/+3Gameplay video is awesome! Body parts falling off the ledge.
  • steveoco, on 06/28/2008, -1/+7Third gen Cow killing... bring it on!
  • arvias, on 06/28/2008, -1/+3And The Heavens Shall Tremble.
  • Foamed, on 06/28/2008, -1/+7Stay a while and listen!
    • Beanbones, on 06/28/2008, -0/+4My name is Deckard Cain / and I come from Tristram / If you're looking for Diablo / Then you've just missed him!

  • bonk2k, on 06/28/2008, -2/+4I think this is an excellent time for me to get into the Diablo franchise.
    • Kinnkster, on 06/28/2008, -2/+2Try out the the old one's in the mean time, it could be a while 'till it comes out.
  • Nightrain117, on 06/28/2008, -2/+5I have to go change my pants now
  • sQPha7e, on 06/28/2008, -2/+8I came.
  • Injektio, on 06/28/2008, -4/+0We dont know the release date =(

    BRING Diablo to papa! old sk00ler here =)
    • straylight51, on 06/28/2008, -4/+1Apparently I have been tracking this game for a while and I would expect it 4th quarter 2010 as they said it would be released before the end of the decade
  • cbizzle, on 06/28/2008, -5/+4WotLK my ass
  • cbizzle, on 06/28/2008, -1/+4OMG the ol' potion flying through the air and hitting the ground sound :)
  • Stormlor, on 06/28/2008, -2/+2Looks f'n awesome! My only gripe with it so far is there is only 5 classes. Well no biggie. I'm buying it at midnight
  • Ioncannon, on 06/28/2008, -2/+2Nooooo its too soon to destroy my new mouse :(
    • outlaw686, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2I keep my mouse with the left button broken as a trophy
  • kiiwii, on 06/28/2008, -1/+3"Looks like our well meaning hero has woken up something NASTY!"

    hahaha... for some reason this narration in the gameplay video made me laugh.
  • xrEE, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2How was this kept such a secret? The game looks like it could be released tomorrow! Incredible.
    • moush, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1It's been in production a long time, not sure.
  • Tiltmenot, on 06/28/2008, -1/+0Same thing with SC2, though its been polished a whole lot since last year.
  • TheBenchWarmer, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3Greetings, stranger. I'm not surprised to see your kind here.
  • blaze03, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2Yay!
  • Freshmilk, on 06/28/2008, -1/+2hmm....Blizzard denies an Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game, yet its rumored they have dev kits. I wonder if they will ever bring their games to consoles.

    • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9Lord I hope not.
    • Kinnkster, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6Yeah this game is way to reliant on the mouse. The ports would pale in comparison the the PC version.
    • outlaw686, on 06/30/2008, -1/+1controller is way more expensive than a mouse.
  • RADRaze2KX, on 06/28/2008, -10/+4I just got fired from my tech-support job cuz i stood up and screamed "***** YES!"
    • haterofps3, on 06/28/2008, -0/+10Good
    • LostnTransition, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3I feel you had this coming.
    • ligyron, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2Alright, we get it, you've been fired. Stop posting this everywhere.
  • BaoUnit, on 06/28/2008, -3/+4There is no cow level
  • MattNF, on 06/28/2008, -6/+4This is already on the front page, and on the top 10 no less. Buried.
  • Llort, on 06/28/2008, -13/+2Who gives a *****? Diablo is the worst game ever.
  • idc5, on 06/28/2008, -3/+1wow, blizzard's site went down!
  • poontangpirate, on 06/28/2008, -7/+2They also just announced a new World of Warcraft expansion...

    The World of World of Warcraft: http://www.geekstir.com/videos/world-of-world-of-w ...
  • bittermang, on 06/28/2008, -1/+5I don't give a damn about Diablo 3, what happened to the little purple monster people were piecing together from CSS file references?
  • hardcorecomb, on 06/28/2008, -10/+3IM THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T CARE
  • Evangelical, on 06/28/2008, -4/+0Why call it Diablo? But again its not too surprising, considering Blizzard has released numerous witchcraft related titles...
  • hcl40u, on 06/28/2008, -1/+1Witch doctor = new necro
    I guess they are going to replace some of the other old classes to keep with the new setting.
  • dabura, on 06/28/2008, -1/+1PC and MAC?
    man i have no chance against the l33ts =|
  • IanPR, on 06/28/2008, -5/+4Blizzard... get back to working on Starcraft Ghost already!!
    • Spartanious, on 06/28/2008, -7/+2Exactly. They should know their priorities. Starcraft Ghost > Diablo 3
  • wYpe, on 06/28/2008, -2/+3Duplicate story much? Buried.
  • mcduck, on 06/28/2008, -1/+1For those on Linux who cannot use the lame Windows/Mac based torrent downloader;

    Gameplay Video Mirror: Direct downlaod (807MB .avi): http://mcduck.windowsbeta.net/Diablo3-GameplayTrai ...

    (May go down at any time)
  • coolboy0286, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2Funny how a website talking about Diablo 3 reached the front page earlier than the Diablo 3 webite itself.
  • Tony6785, on 06/28/2008, -2/+0Oh my gosh, Blizzard announces Diablo 3.... 3 days ago.
  • ligyron, on 06/28/2008, -3/+1I think they should finish the Japanese version of Starcraft before they go off making new games. It's horribly outdated!
  • cachemoney, on 06/28/2008, -2/+1I just pooped myself
  • Seizure, on 06/28/2008, -1/+3Because it has to be said:

    Blizzard makes a f*cking beautiful website.
    • OpCzar, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3Flash-based websites are the devil.
    • Seizure, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3From a technical perspective, yes they come from hell. From a pure visual standpoint, though, I maintain that all the flash integration on their pages, when it works properly and efficiently, is gorgeous.
  • AzraDarkness, on 06/28/2008, -2/+0Come listen...and stay awhile.. - Deckard Cain
    • outlaw686, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1



      Greetings... Stay a while and listen.
  • imbob, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3so this is how blizzard got the idea for world of warcraft

    the way WOW makes money they can make like a new GAME EVERY MONTH! full budget too
    • moush, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1I wouldn't mind them leeching off of morons with a ***** game to make good ones.
  • insidedesign, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0Omg omg omg omg
  • lofilotek, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Seriously, this ***** looks amazing. They have taken all that they have learned from WoW and applied it to action, or so I hope.
  • lofilotek, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Seriously, this ***** looks amazing. They have taken all that they have learned from WoW and applied it to action, or so I hope.
