Diablo 3 Confirmed!! OMFG!

[Sliceanddice]

my theory is the evil half human son of the Diablo and the Stll burning soul of his daddy, risen by the cultest lol
but hell you can break down walls im happy

[Lingering Grin]

It's very simple...

You killed Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal. All brothers...


Now Daddy is pissed.


Oh, and for those that see the theories that Tyreal is gonna turn evil because there's some concept art out there that looks like his wings are on fire...

Look closer, it's not fire, his wings just turned orange... his armor changes too. So I'm thinking he got upgraded (What's above an Archangel anyway?)

(What's above an Archangel anyway?)

As far as I remember? Nothing. There's different types of archangels, so there's that. Sounds a good theory to me. It'd be lame if Tyreal was evil. And I'll go over to Blizzard North and beat them all if it turns out he was a turncoat the whole time, and manipulated you into destroying the worldstone.

That be a little hard to do, seeing as Blizzard North was dissolved several years ago

Then I will HUNT THEM ALL DOWN! Everyone has worked there previously, and everyone who works at Blizzard, though that'll be a longer trip.
>_>
<_<
Or maybe I'll go ask Bioware if they can help. That's a really short trip. I'm sure they'd be glad to help with a vendetta.

Andariel from Act 1, and Duriel from Act 2? I know Andariel was a Lesser Evil, but I didn't think Duriel was. Either way, that would be an awesome scenario, GK. It means you'd probably not have to go to hell this time around, but work your way up to a corrupted Heaven instead. Then *maybe* hell after, but we've both been there and done that. Twice.

Duriel was a Lesser Evil - the Prince of Pain iirc.

Hate the thing with all my soul. He just reamed my new Spearazon twice in a row because my effing merc wouldn't get out of the way.

I'm going to go on the off crazy side and bet the new story is about Deckard Cain turning out to be the debil and we get to crush him. =D

and they've made it look like WOW-I won't be buying it.

from this

Character models defined by cartoon characteristics like over-sized and exaggerated parts, vivid colors and unrealistic elements, almost directly taken away from World of Warcraft and pasted to Diablo.

"Cartoonish art direction, outside scenarios with vivid colors, unrealistic weaponry and armor, and an overall World of Warcraft-like appearance"

they've got an online petition here-to make it a sequel to diablo II and not an extension of WOW

Okay, first addressing the fan mock-ups of the graphics:

Some of us actually *like* being able to see what we're doing, so turning down the gamma and doing a pallette swap to darker colours != better.

Second, the characters in D1 and D2 weren't exactly paragons of anatomically correct study. Anyone remember the warrior? How about the Barbarian (who actually looks similar to the D2 version as the D3 example)? The frikkin' Necromancer?

As for the petition, these are obviously people who have very little experience in programming, as it's not a simple thing to change the graphics at the point they're at. They could switch the character models with effort, but changing the lighting system and textures? They'd have to push the release back further than it already is.
