RUMOR #5: Some postproduction work on Diablo III has been completed.

Source: Blizzard fan site Diabloii.net.

The official story: "We'd definitely like to revisit the Diablo universe in the future, but we haven't announced any plans to do so at this time."--Blizzard rep.

What we heard: Midweek, the fan site Diabloii.net received an e-mail from someone claming to be a "musician in Czech Republic." The person said that, "I have recently been to Bratislava in Slovak Republic for recording sessions with local Radio Symphony Orchestra, where we just recorded music for Diablo 3." So why should we give credence to someone who could be a crank from a former Warsaw Pact country? Because the music for the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction was recorded in Bratislava, Slovakia, with the Slovak Radio Philharmonic, around four months before the expansion pack was released. By that same calculus, if the music for Diablo III was recorded this month, then the game could be released before the end of the year. (Although some rumors pegging it as a PlayStation 3 launch title would make that unlikely.) So while there's no definitive proof that Diablo III is in the can, it is looking more and more likely that Blizzard will announce the game soon...and perhaps as early as E3.

Bogus or not bogus?: Probably not bogus.

אם GameSpot טוענים שזה כנראה אמיתי, אז זאת אולי תקווה חדשה בשביל כל מעריצי Diablo.

אני רוצה את זה עכשיו!

גם אני

אני משחק דיאבלו ואז שהוא יצאה עד היום אולי זה נישמע כמו משחק ישן (אומנם הוא אכן ישן ) אבל מושך מאוד

לא למדת לקרוא עד הסוף?

הנה עוד קצת:

הנה מידע "פנימי" בקשר למשחק. אני עדיין בפסקה הראשונה. נראה אמין.

http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2006/02/rumor_diablo_ii.php

אין פה שום דבר חדש, שלא לדבר על זה שהכל שמועות באינטרנט.

באופן אישי אני בטוח שBLIZZ יעשו המשך למשחק, השאלה היא מתי.. :'(

ואה כן, דיאבלו לא יכול להיות טוב בתלת מימד מלא, אני מסרב להאמין בזה!

שכחתם ששלושת הרשעים מתים?

מי לעזאזל יעשה בלאגן במקומם? שני אלה שהוזכרו בחוברת אבל לא היו במשחק? הם לא יכולים בלי prime evil

ימציאו רוע חדש..

זה בכלל לא בעיה.

אני חושב ש blizzard קצת בבעיה בנושא הזה.

מצד אחד מנוע שהוא אינו תלת מימד זה מיושן היום ולא אטרקטיבי.

מצד שני דיאבלו בתלת מימד............ :s05:

זה כבר לא כלכך דיאבלו. לדעתי אם הם יפרשו בשיא הם יצאו ענקיים. קשה לי לדמיין את דיאבלו ב תלת מימד.

הם לא מתים, הם רק חזרו לגיהנום.

הSOUL STONES אפשרו להם לצאת ממנו לתוך העולם (של המשחק) וכאשר הן הושמדו הם חזרו לגיהנום.

אבל, בסוף LOD טיריאל משמיד את ה WORLD STONE ובכך מחבר באופן קבוע את העולם של המשחק עם הגיהנום כך שעכשיו הם לא צריכים את האבנים בשביל לצאת משם.

מצד שני, זו לא ממש בעיה להמציא משהו.

(ע"ע הסיום של D1 והעלילה של D2)

מה הקשר הגרפיקה למשחקיות? קחו את דיאבלו, שימו לו מנוע תלת מימדי סטייל WOW, זה אוטומטית יעשה אותו למשחק פחות טוב?

מצד שני, זו לא ממש בעיה להמציא משהו.

(ע"ע הסיום של D1 והעלילה של D2)

דווקא ברגע שראיתי את הסיום של 1 ידעתי שיהיה 2 שימשיך אותו, קווי העלילה מאד משתלבים

הסוף של ההרחבה של 2 לעומת זאת, לא משאיר הרבה מקום להמשך
