Man, it's been a while since I even up anything related to Diablo, let alone played something like Diablo 2. After watching this video, it reminded me of why I loved Diablo so much. One day I shall return (When I have a decent computer that is)
@gerry1888 This is somewhat incorrect, they are still aiming for a 2011 release and they planned on testing the game 6 months before release. (Internal testing has already been started for awhile now)
@R3iDAR there is not ingame cash shop. There is an auction house where PLAYERS can sell THEIR items. But Blizzard doesn't sell items and there is no cash type whatsoever. All items in the Auction House are from players, just like a Trade House with real money and only with items collected and sold by players.
@gavincorrea It hasn't had anything positive done in years. They added things like temp bans that do nothing except annoy actual players. This was designed to stop bots, but it has done nothing, but help. And these temp bans were added years ago.
@windowlicker1 I'm currently in the beta and from what people have told me it is unique to the player on the screen, So doing a boss with 1 other person may drop a rare sickle / hand axe when it may drop a staff / wand for the other person. No ninja looting in D3B :)
If you watch closely, the boss affects the enviroment, stones and stuff around him get destroyed when he move towards them, the players also are affected by the bosses atacks...This is something really amazing, it's not like wow where the boss just goes through pillars and everything like he is a ghost or something.
@Stormland You get full co-op, you can a companion, you have multiplayer. This game is so much more then D2, I know I'm in the D3 beta, if you want to know anything, just let me know. I'll fill you in, with all the awesomeness this game has to offer. This and SC2 are hands down the best experiences I have had with Blizzard in the past few years.
I should add that I realise people might say they've been working on SC2 and constantly on WoW's content patches and expansions, which may be true, although I doubt they're using the entire same teams for all three titles.
I gotta say while I do like the new graphics I find that the graphics from D1 and D2 left more for the imagination which gave the games a very eerie atmosphere. I'm also going to miss the necromancer class as it was my class of choice. However I am so excited for this game to finally be released.
@james9322000 It's almost like an updated version of the diablo series amirite? The graphics are actually good, they are just from a static camera perspective so you don't get to see the full 3d mapping as easily. The UI is simplistic ON PURPOSE.
Diablo 3 can be bought from any department store (Wal Mart, Target) or Best Buy. it's a very popular game. just look at a store that sells PC games near you.
The fact that there were so many skeletons is awesome!. That is a lot of enemies at the same time, along with the fact that it is over battle.net. Really great programming.
People, May 15th official release, except for Chile, Argentina & Brazil, in those countries it's already out (March 15th). I live in Argentina and I'm already enjoying it :3
@pwnsaurus they wanted to show the animations for the boss killing party members.. as well as draw out the vid run time. It was one of the first D3 vids posted... look a the post date. Final product will be much different.
Ppl. This clip is 3 years old. I am sure Blizz has darkened D3 theme drastically now to make it more atmosphereic, scarier. D3 doesnt look so colorful today, if you already hadnt noticed. But bare in mind that this is very old clip.
@166ghgh666 blizzard released an item list on there website and as i was scailing down the legendary weapons and armor i noticed there was like blod ravens coil and bow, and talrashas shit and andariel shit, as well as the butchers cleaver and pick.
To be honest I was complaining about the game a lot... but actually when I had some time for researches and thinking carefully I found out that this will be the game worth playing in 2012, even over GW2...
@CT2507 I don't think that is true because there is supposed to be a single player mode just like previous Diablo titles. You could always LAN with your buddies but I do believe the game will be solo-able (probably with a lot of work though).
@Hunterbgpz I was afraid that D3 was too colourful, but you should see the other videos of this game, it is really dark and it looks wonderful. Yet thanks to additional colours the environment is somehow different from one to another. I am sure D3 is gonna looks really nice and gonna have loads of climatic places. You should really check other videos. It's advise from real diablo fan :)
@congosocabron No dude, I don't think you understand how big gaming companies work. D3 is basically being built by an entirely seperate team of graphic artists, etc then WoW is. Just because its being made from the same company doesnt mean its the same people making it.
@afire007 haha thanks for the info... i just looked at a few videos but not all of them. i wonder if people will upload all the different kill animations for each boss (surely theres more than one for each).
@gavincorrea 10 years old yet still manages 140k players on at a time, daily. The game is old, but still very populated and making them money. Shouldn't be neglected.
There's only one problem I have with this: The size of the boss on the screen. i understand the need to make a huge boss thats impressive and everything but i couldnt help but think of when i used to play wow. I had a melee character and in every huge boss battle all you could see were the boss's freaking ankles. I think maybe a little remedy to this would be to zoom out during big boss fights, that way the ratio of character to boss would stay the same and the boss would still be impressive
@samuelledieu WoW is an MMORPG, D3 is an Action-RPG how do you compare them? Its like comparing Skyrim to Minecraft. All the games mentioned in this post are very good and successful games in THEIR genre (Not sure about D3 yet).
Im not sure what game this footage is from, but it damn sure isnt the Diablo 3 I have been playing. The characters look the same, and the background resembles that of the highlands, but nothing in-game that I have come across.
If you play online and do lvling, would you lose all the lvl once you logout the online play? Or a player online lvl is determined from that player's character lvl in the single player version?
@nGrEng sorry but because i'm fan of blizzard and i have played their first game, is the BLACK THRONE in 1994. It was the first game as Blizzard Entertainment.
For my birthday, the 11th of May, 2012 (why the fuck am I telling you when it is...?), my mom and younger brother told me that a week from that day I was going to get this game. I'm so excited!! :D
The only thing I sorta dislike about this is that you gotta have internet connection on at all times when playing. Might not seem like much to everyone else, but it is to me. A casual gamer who just plays computer games when the power blips out. And my internet's spotty at best as it is. Other than that... No complaints. I GREW UP playing Diablo II, and am anxiously awaiting the release of the epic third part of the series.
i thought diablo 3 would change my mind over this game series, but i don't know ... maybe playing it will be more exciting than what i saw right now... we 'll see ...
Just warning everyone right now, ignore this video. You can check the forums for yourself if you don't believe me, but Blizzard has stated that they were unable to implement the boss physics in the way shown in this video.
Two questions. Why is the Barbarian using pretty little daggers? Two-handed DW ftw. And still the question remains, what did the Paladin class do to get washed away from D3?
@ItsPaiin WoW isn't the only game with those aspects...Vindictus, Global Agenda and tons of other games have things like an Auction House and very similar skills layouts, it just looks good that way so they do them. Don't say WoW is original and everyone copies it. WoW got a lot of it's ideas from previous MMO's. All games learn from previous games and they change and improve ideas they thought were cool but could have been better. Welcome to the Video Game Business.
@vghardcore Not dark? Not to be critical, but at 2:20 he rips a guy in half. Plus, in the Yogscast videos, theres a shit ton of zombies rising from graves that maul a ton of people. I respectfully disagree with you.
@DarenHD In my opinion Diablo 2 is the bast Hack'n'Slash ever made (untill Diablo 3 is released), it's gameplay is not liked by everybody but people who like fast action games and leveling / grinding and getting lost of stuff always better and better can't really dislike this game. Moreover I think you can get the game and the expansion (which permits 800*600 instead of 640*480.....) for something like 10$ / 10 € so you wouldnt loose much :)
lol "high quality
With all the Diablo 3 vids out there and 3 days to go until release, I find myself watching this again :*D
Man, it's been a while since I even up anything related to Diablo, let alone played something like Diablo 2. After watching this video, it reminded me of why I loved Diablo so much. One day I shall return (When I have a decent computer that is)

Preordered my copy yesterday soooooo excited
@godthrone1 Its a single and multiplayer game, multiplayer doesn't mean its an MMO, you create games and people join them and you can play together.
@Charkai
He's the camera man for the demo, it's his job to run around and catch all the awesome angles.
@gavincorrea It hasn't had anything positive done in years. They added things like temp bans that do nothing except annoy actual players. This was designed to stop bots, but it has done nothing, but help. And these temp bans were added years ago.
360p is High Quality now? I must have been living under a rock all this time.
At very end: which doctor casts a couple locust swarms and sits back laughing
@DeathSquish
No its been confirmed that some bosses will run a kill animation if a persons health reaches 0 while battling them.
Omg this looks amazing,Can't wait!!!
Can't wait to play this one!
oh look its wow 2.0 yeah GREAT art style man! this totally looks like the first 2 games!!!
@windowlicker1 I'm currently in the beta and from what people have told me it is unique to the player on the screen, So doing a boss with 1 other person may drop a rare sickle / hand axe when it may drop a staff / wand for the other person. No ninja looting in D3B :)

I'll fill you in, with all the awesomeness this game has to offer. This and SC2 are hands down the best experiences I have had with Blizzard in the past few years.
A game like this is totally done. Any gameplay changes could be made with patches, but this is ready... and 4 years have passed!
@TheHollowGear
no it's been confirmed they're trying to get it released before christmas
Cant wait for this :) Playing D2 rite now
I should add that I realise people might say they've been working on SC2 and constantly on WoW's content patches and expansions, which may be true, although I doubt they're using the entire same teams for all three titles.
@partyman147 Goodluck with that, they've already released an official press release saying its being released early 2012.
i love how we still havent got this game yet.
I gotta say while I do like the new graphics I find that the graphics from D1 and D2 left more for the imagination which gave the games a very eerie atmosphere. I'm also going to miss the necromancer class as it was my class of choice. However I am so excited for this game to finally be released.

Diablo 3 can be bought from any department store (Wal Mart, Target) or Best Buy. it's a very popular game. just look at a store that sells PC games near you.
I have many reasons why people should like this video:
1. Epic Music
2. Epic Boss
3. Epic Graphics
4. Epic Boss Death
5. Epic Roar
6. Epic Boss Entry
The fact that there were so many skeletons is awesome!. That is a lot of enemies at the same time, along with the fact that it is over battle.net. Really great programming.
People, May 15th official release, except for Chile, Argentina & Brazil, in those countries it's already out (March 15th). I live in Argentina and I'm already enjoying it :3
this is a video from 2008? geez that game is in development for a long time ^^
@pwnsaurus they wanted to show the animations for the boss killing party members.. as well as draw out the vid run time. It was one of the first D3 vids posted... look a the post date. Final product will be much different.
It is D3, its the old Blizzard cinematic back in 2007-08
@toddtj I think he meant the graphic quality, not the atmosphere.
Remember when we were all in middle school, and this game was coming out 'next January'....
@87flaco you missed that the boss pick up barb, and chew his head off, then toss the body aside? and blood dripping from his mouth?
Ppl. This clip is 3 years old. I am sure Blizz has darkened D3 theme drastically now to make it more atmosphereic, scarier. D3 doesnt look so colorful today, if you already hadnt noticed. But bare in mind that this is very old clip.
boss: urgh if i cannot live.... NONE SHALL LIVE! *summons horde of skeletons*
I WANT THIS GAME NOW !!! PLEASE RELEASE THIS GAME !!!
Which means much like finishing a good book, I will finally be able to experience the 'last' chapter of Diablo.
Yup, and its open beta right now so you can go and play right now, im sure youll like it.
@166ghgh666 blizzard released an item list on there website and as i was scailing down the legendary weapons and armor i noticed there was like blod ravens coil and bow, and talrashas shit and andariel shit, as well as the butchers cleaver and pick.

@Retnaburn I can confirm that on the beta you can not see each others loot. It is unique
@toddtj that's because the last diablo was released 11 years ago.
i cant believe this video was posted 4 years ago........
@MrMrlamoe This video was made early 2008, its 4 years later now and the game have changed ALOT
@Hunterbgpz I was afraid that D3 was too colourful, but you should see the other videos of this game, it is really dark and it looks wonderful. Yet thanks to additional colours the environment is somehow different from one to another. I am sure D3 is gonna looks really nice and gonna have loads of climatic places.

THIS WILL NEVER BE BETTER THEN WOW!!!!!!!!
@congosocabron No dude, I don't think you understand how big gaming companies work. D3 is basically being built by an entirely seperate team of graphic artists, etc then WoW is. Just because its being made from the same company doesnt mean its the same people making it.
Damn. I'm so eager to play this game! :D
@OnlyKurial The better question is: "Will it blend?!"
@afire007 haha thanks for the info... i just looked at a few videos but not all of them. i wonder if people will upload all the different kill animations for each boss (surely theres more than one for each).
@gavincorrea 10 years old yet still manages 140k players on at a time, daily. The game is old, but still very populated and making them money. Shouldn't be neglected.

@itsover901
He means the release date will be in the year 2043.
Im not sure what game this footage is from, but it damn sure isnt the Diablo 3 I have been playing. The characters look the same, and the background resembles that of the highlands, but nothing in-game that I have come across.
@ItsPaiin Because maybe those were working aspects of the game that could be translated very well into their new games?
If you play online and do lvling, would you lose all the lvl once you logout the online play? Or a player online lvl is determined from that player's character lvl in the single player version?
Dear Blizzard,
What game is this and when is it going to be released?
-Kanacali
P.S. I bought Diablo 3, it was kinda fun...
@nGrEng sorry but because i'm fan of blizzard and i have played their first game, is the BLACK THRONE in 1994. It was the first game as Blizzard Entertainment.
For my birthday, the 11th of May, 2012 (why the fuck am I telling you when it is...?), my mom and younger brother told me that a week from that day I was going to get this game. I'm so excited!! :D
@Silverheest I would have to say the fight is, not the resolution. =P
i cannot wait for this game to arive!!!!!! Diablo all the way!
The only thing I sorta dislike about this is that you gotta have internet connection on at all times when playing. Might not seem like much to everyone else, but it is to me. A casual gamer who just plays computer games when the power blips out. And my internet's spotty at best as it is. Other than that... No complaints. I GREW UP playing Diablo II, and am anxiously awaiting the release of the epic third part of the series.
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to play witch doctor and demon hunter.
I WISH the ACTUAL GAME was this good...
@charliesheen199992 dude this was relased footage in 2008, its been 3 years, everything has been improved, and touched upon
i thought diablo 3 would change my mind over this game series, but i don't know ... maybe playing it will be more exciting than what i saw right now... we 'll see ...
@bandicoot823 this is from 2008. They definitely have or will revamp graphics before its release. gg tho
Just warning everyone right now, ignore this video. You can check the forums for yourself if you don't believe me, but Blizzard has stated that they were unable to implement the boss physics in the way shown in this video.
Looks pretty sweet, how much FG for Ubers?!
Do you need to pay a sub fee in D3 ? please reply asap. thanks! :)
This game better be extremely long to have such an old school layout. Really expected it to be more advanced graphically.
man cant wait till it comes out
Two questions. Why is the Barbarian using pretty little daggers? Two-handed DW ftw. And still the question remains, what did the Paladin class do to get washed away from D3?
@lampbrain where can I watch the full version of this? I saw it before and I want to see it again.
hey didn't know they made a RPG SC2. Is that the new Ultralisk?
estimated release date is 31-01-2012
i hope this game is good. it feels like it has a dungeon siege feeling to it.
Played D2 for YEARS, waited ten years for the new game, waited 7 or something for a new D2 patch to come..
2:18 That was AWESOME.
@demon2thousand Probably. There are usually 3 or so camera options in most of the hack 'n' slash games I've played...low, mid and high angles.
@termudy123 but the video is made on english language so isn't taken from america or england?
i like how the witch doctor that didnt die did absolutely like NO damage that fight
love the soundtrack on this
@ItsPaiin WoW isn't the only game with those aspects...Vindictus, Global Agenda and tons of other games have things like an Auction House and very similar skills layouts, it just looks good that way so they do them. Don't say WoW is original and everyone copies it. WoW got a lot of it's ideas from previous MMO's. All games learn from previous games and they change and improve ideas they thought were cool but could have been better. Welcome to the Video Game Business.
Something tells me that we will see the whole walk-through of Diablo 3 before it even comes out!
Hey just to let you know....THE BUTCHER IS BACK FROM DIABLO 1 AND BLOOD RAVEN AND ANDARIEL AND TALRASHA ARE BACK FROM DIABLO 2
Oh, so cute, Duriel`s really big brother showed up! :D
The UI in the Beta has changed so much since this video was released
@vghardcore Not dark? Not to be critical, but at 2:20 he rips a guy in half. Plus, in the Yogscast videos, theres a shit ton of zombies rising from graves that maul a ton of people. I respectfully disagree with you.
@DarenHD yes, diablo2 has great gameplay and story, if you enjoyed playing starcraft then you probably will enjoy diablo2
@DarenHD In my opinion Diablo 2 is the bast Hack'n'Slash ever made (untill Diablo 3 is released), it's gameplay is not liked by everybody but people who like fast action games and leveling / grinding and getting lost of stuff always better and better can't really dislike this game.
Moreover I think you can get the game and the expansion (which permits 800*600 instead of 640*480.....) for something like 10$ / 10 € so you wouldnt loose much :)
Awesome looking gameplay it looks soo much smoother than diablo 2 i cant wait !
has anyone else noticed this is the same guy who talks as Mordecai in Regular Show?
Already bought a graphics card and processor waiting for diablo 3 :-D
He did not say High High definition, he said High Quality. And for a 2008 video of D3...It is quite a high quality !
