The Third Game in the Game Series Formerly Known as Diablo

Maybe it's an imposter? Surely out of all the demons there's one ambitious enough to try to fill Diablo's shoes.

Here's something I've just found. It's some sort of Barbarian prophecy called "The Prophecies of the Final Day"

"And a child will cradle Terror in his breast as the heart of man falls under the shadow.

A Wanderer will pass through the ancient lands trailing chaos in his wake.

The Three Brothers will be reunited as the mortal world trembles before their might.

And so it was foretold that the Three, once reunited, would be shattered again—

Their defeat would be illusory—that the final gambit had yet to be played..."


"And now at last the storm surges forth from the southlands, and the hand of Destruction

Reaches out to undo the workings of the Ancients. The tides of Hell surge—ready to smash

Down upon the shores of the mortal world — to drown the guilty and the innocent alike."




I think it's from one of the books or something like that. This part is what intrigues me the most:

"And so it was foretold that the Three, once reunited, would be shattered again—

Their defeat would be illusory—that the final gambit had yet to be played..."

Well, does it really matter that the storyline will be far-fetched? I mean, it's just a video game. At least it has some sort of story line...

Personally i think its going to be gay. Too much like WoW. It'll be P2P i already know.

They will get so much shit from so many people if they make it p2p that they would need to change it. Diablo has never been p2p, why should they start now? They are fine with WoW and the D3 sales will be so high that p2p won't be needed.

Well they're making a new Battle.net for D3 and SC2. They might make that B.net pay to play.

I disagree with this. The big thing they have always made about bnet was that it was f2p. That was how they got so many people to play their game, the promise of free online play.


Even if they do make it p2p, you can imagine how much they would lose in returns.

Video games are a form of culture, would you say that the storyline in a book/movie doesn't matter because they usually do not have such? (Semi-bad example...) In a game such as Diablo, the storyline has to at least feel like it works with the in-game logic. (real world logic is for the weak.)
