I just saw a interview with Richard A. Knaak, writer of Diablo:Sin War.

From this article i'm sure Diablo III is on the Blizzard project schedule and imo this legendary game maybe release at next E3, who knows hah

my favor all the time

Diablo was not the best RPG there is and it never will be because it's not an RPG.

Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure the correct title for Diablo or Diablo 2 except a "Run around and kill stuff game."

There are several implications that Diablo 3 will exist, but because we don't know anything for sure, there's an equal chance that it won't exist, or that it may become a full fledge MMORPG.

Now, I did like the diablo series, I didn't love it, I wasn't addicted, I liked it. Adding a story and flavor to it would be nice, it'd definitely catch my attention. But if they make it another of the same ol' same ol', or worse, an MMORPG, Blizzard has lost pretty much all my respect.

From what I've seen, the MMO's of today are really not at all appealing, most of it is just running around and killing things, most commonly going player versus player, which I despise.

If they do decide to create an RPG of Diablo, then they've "woo'd" me, and nothing more. I've never really been impressed with diablo, but that's just me.

So I'm leaving my vote for your poll pretty much undecided, for reasons of the above, as well as the neutral vote you presented also does not have RPG's aside from -maybe- fallout.

I just found an article in Gamespot relating to Diablo 3 under the rumour control section. Here's the link. Hope it answers your question.

The longer you have to wait, the more it looks like another (duke nukem for ever). No, I don't believe there will be diablo III. And if it'll be about the same as diablo II lod then I'll not going to buy it. It's the killings, spawnings that are too much.

at first I was a diablo maniac but the game is too .... sorta dumb. at one level I get too bored. there is no thinking in the game the whole game is to walk around and kill stuff. I am bulgarian and there was one time when all the guys played diablo eastern sun ( I think eastern sun I a bulgarian version) the game was full of bugs and it was very complicated.

FalloutStaker- You can go without cursing on this site. It's against the rules and quite frankly you can get your point across without profanities anyways.

I have a few friends who speak the way he/she is writing - often with people who have lot on their mind but don't know how to slow down.

How I understand it - He/she believe it will be Diablo III, sometime - because LoD left lot of unaswered questions.

But right now Blizzard "started a massacre" - talking about a madnes around new WoW. With all that Vivendi Universal will not need anything made "for profit" for a long time.

So there is a chance they'll go with Diablo out of love for it.

The biggest mess happened few years ago when (I got this 'cause heard about it

) when Blizzard hired quite a number of programers, and at the same time word came from musicians who was recording music for Diablo 1 and 2 that they are recording a music, most probably for Diablo 3. But in the end it turned out it was just WoW expansion.

But Diablo is still very alive, have active online comunity, and I'm sure it'll reapear again, and probably soon.

Thanks for the translation, Boby, I believe that was indeed what he more or less said. I'm also very tempted to react the way Siberys did, both to make a point, and both because I do actually have a hard time understanding some sentences... Then again, a screenname that has 'uber' in it and l33t-speech are indeed quite a match

It wouldn't surprise me if there would be another Diablo III game, since the second one was quite popular I think, and definitely a fun and creative game. It was also a bit repetitive, lots of running forward and smashing/blasting enemies away. In other words: click-the-click-click-click. Then again, if you just accepted the fact that this game isn't about a real story and depth, but just about getting stronger and kicking ass, then this game could last quite a long, fun time for you. If they would make a third one, I would hope it would have better graphics, since great 3D surroundings could definitely add a lot to this game (opposed to a Baldur's Gate game, where the half 2D/3D graphics are actually one of the charms of those games IMO)

In the end, if it's get made, or if it doesn't, I don't really care. Works for me either way.

I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't make Diablo III since all bizzard focuses on is WoW, but i'm hoping for it!

That isn't true at all. Blizzard recently announced Starcraft 2, and that would be a HUGE focus due to how easy it is to simply manage an MMO versus how hard it is to design a video game.

Plus, they have two upcoming games, Starcraft 2, and one unnannounced, I believe. The latter can possibly be diablo 3.

I certainly hope that there'd come a Diablo III sometime in the future. D2 was such great fun and the new replacement, Titan Quest, is also awesome. I've always loved these hack'n'slash -RPG's, I guess...
