More news from Activision’s calendar year end earning call, and this time it’s good! The mega-publisher has said that it plans to have the highly anticipated clicky-lootfest RPG Diablo 3 out before the end of Q2 this year.
This means there’s still a significant wait for the game for hungry fans - but a few more months is nothing compared to the years you’ve already ... [»]
If you were hoping - nay, wishing that Blizzard might unexpectedly release Diablo III at Blizzcon, their annual “all-things-Blizzard” convention, then you’re going to be might disappointed. There won;t be one this year. It’s on hiatus until 2013, with Blizzard citing its “jam-packed schedule” as the reason. It does mean that we’ll have to wait a whole year to see more women dressed up as sexy night-elves. "We're also heavily focused ... [»]
Gamers have been waiting for Diablo 3, the click-heavy dark fantasy action RPG for what feels like forever. Though Diablo 3 was only announced in 2008, it’s been over a decade since gamers have clicked Mephisto to death. It looks like they might be waiting longer.Over the weekend, Diablo III’s Senior Producer Steve Parker announced his surprise departure from the project - and ... [»]
How long is too long, for a video game to be in development? If you’re a diehard Blizzard Entertainment fan, any period of waiting must be more painful than standing in line at the traffic department.
Diablo 3 is finally coming out this year, after quite a few years in development, and enthusiasts of demon-killing and level-grinding couldn’t be happier. Of course, a set ... [»]
What’s this? A book review on a gaming website? Why, it’s almost as if Oprah has replaced the staff with clones pre-programmed with Book of The Month knowledge instead og gaming! Not so fast with the pitchforks though guys, as this is no ordinary ... [»]
You know there is something massively wrong with the world and the financial markets in particular when you make a game that pulls in over a billion dollars in 16 days and yet are still refused credit. And yet that is what is happening with Vivendi SA, the ... [»]
Arguably the biggest news at this year's BlizzCon was the official announcement of the 4th expansion to Blizzard's super-ultra-successful MMORPG, World of WarCraft.
"I don't play online PC games," you say. "Old game, old news," you mutter. "Inevitable," you groan. Well, this blog post isn't so ... [»]
I don’t know about you guys, but my copy of Diablo 2 has to be one of the most played titles in my collection. That massive box, with the big grinning skull staring back at me still sits proudly next to other games on my shelf, partly due to some fantastic mods that kept the action flowing, long after the main campaign was finished.
With Diablo 3 expected next year, we’re pretty certain ... [»]
After months of speculation, denials and running out of the conference hall to make a quick getaway whenever the question was asked, Blizzard officially confirmed their fourth expansion for their long-running MMO World of Warcraft, the Mists of Pandaria.
Detailing a new land, race and adventures that take place there, players will also have access to the Pandarians, creatures modelled after my favourite mascot ... [»]
I’ll admit - at the risk of being the recipient of a hurled shoe to the face - that I’m not all that much of a Diablo fan. There’s just way, way too much clicking. How do you move? By clicking. How do you pick up that shiny new loot? Yeah, more clicking. So how about combat, then? No prizes for guessing even ... [»]
In my previous (and first) Diablo III diary, I rambled on a bit about my new metro-sexual hero, some story elements and also somehow managed to compare Diablo to ex-girlfriends.
In part 2 I take a bit of a look into the visual and performance side of things, including what kind of machine you will need to run it as well as drooling ... [»]
Over the past couple of days I have been putting in as much time as possible with the Diablo III beta, in these posts I will document my experiences as an old school Diablo fan that’s been out of the loop for a while and give you my thoughts on the beta as well as the different classes, changes and more:
For my ... [»]
Diablo III’s closed beta is currently underway - our own Nick is busy with it and you can expect his impressions soon. You might imagine that the game would be nearing release, and that you’d be able to join in the click frenzy this year as Blizzard intended.
I’m afraid not, Diablo fans - as the game’s been delayed to ... [»]
Blizzard’s main staples have increasingly become PC only. While Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have all graced consoles before, their newest iterations are all chained to the click-centric mouse-and-keyboard confines of the PC. Real-Time Strategy games are undoubtedly best using a mouse and keyboard; analogue thumb-sticks aren’t particularly well suited to panning over maps at speed - but Diablo’s different. As a ... [»]
By now, your mind is probably on the precipice of gaming Nirvana. So many good games are coming out, from Gears of War 3 to Skyrim, but like most gamers, you’re busy fortifying your gaming den with all the supplies necessary for ... [»]
