Diablo 3 Rumored

[JustAGuy]

Yeah. I just wanted to specify that WoW isn't done by Blizz north. I really couldn't say what their actual status is at the moment, other than that they seem to still exist.

You are correct, as far as I know; there hasn't been a peep out of them since Roper and Co. left for greener pastures.

A Diablo 3 wouldn't be out of the question, though. An extremely popular franchise, a huge money maker for them, why wouldn't they make another sequel? Whether it be watered down or inferior to the previous games or not, it makes good business sense for Blizzard to release another one. Since we don't know of anything coming up from Blizzard North, it might be safe to assume that they're working on something Diablo related (since, they're basically a Diablo Development Studio). The fact that it's Blizzard working on the sequel just means that it has good potential to be a great game, if and when it comes out.

Diablo 3 a MMORPG? No. Another Action RPG? Why not? It's their bread and butter.

The only thing I'm concerned about is that it'll just be a rehash with upgraded graphics. It'll be a nice-looking Diablo 2, with very little the way of innovation. WoW seems to be soaking up all the good ideas... Honestly, how many skills can they come up with for Diablo 3? The Barbarian skill trees were pretty lame, and the Paladin resistance auras (despite their boost in 1.10) were pathetic.

If they are making a Diablo 3, I won't be surprised when they announce it. If it's anywhere near as addictive as Diablo 2, then most likely it'll get me away from WoW. :)

I say, "Bring on the Diablo 3!" no matter what it is. There will always be a place in my heart for Diablo 2, and if they want to bring back that love, I'm all for it. If they do, they better do it right, that's all.
