So why Hardcore for me?

I remember a pre-release video where the developers were saying that not only would Inferno have its own gear but each Act of Inferno would have a gradually progressing set of gear designed for them.

I think I watched this video -- I wish my memory was better. I thought they said that you would need to spend time in early Inferno to gear up to move on.

But I have no evidence of this either.
