How is Diablo 2 unique in any way? Most of the skills have already been used in most editions of D&D, the point and click interface with the birds eye view camera is also not unique due to Blizzards other games that came before Diablo 2, such as Starcraft and Warcraft 1 and 2. And most of the creatures in that game are also rather generic and unoriginal. A fallen is a goblin, a fallen shaman is a hobgoblin, a fetish is a pygmy, a Cliff lurker is a Windego, and most of the gigantic versions of bugs have been done in movies that came from the 50's.

Nicely put. Then again, most games nowdays also lack plenty of originality. That being said, I would still prefer it to be in 3D. I guess that will make it more challenging, especially if it stays true to its roots of being a hack n' slash game.

Right!!
I hope that graphics will be like (or obviously better than) Titan Quest.
With chache to rotate camera.......that graphics is very cool ...imho!!

i have both dugeon siege 2 and D2 and i would have to say both ways are fun but the D2 style is better suited for controlling a single character.

Point & Click 3/4 view is really outdated. Today's games really in my opinion should use a controller which can be had for less than $15.

Diablo 2 was great and all the clones that followed it. I see people saying "it should be like Titans Quest" or slightly better, graphically.

Come ON! This is 2008.

Core 2 Duo computers can be had for less than $300! Why set the future of gaming for those who want to stick to their 512MB - Pentium 4 gaming rigs?

It's been a looong wait. Forget Titans Quest... Diablo 3 should look and play like this: IGN: Quest of D Trailer, Videos and Movies

Not everyone has the money to buy a new computer, no matter how cheap it is. And a new computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor for 300 bucks, I'd really like to see where you're getting that, as the cheapest I've found is 500-600 bucks.

Simply because some people have enough money or have a powerful enough rig for a 3D game doesn't mean a game should be 3D. That's not a preference.

hmmm... maybe it will gonna be a 3D because all of the games are in that kind of resolution, it will be great seeing diablo will be in a new kind of enhancement, cool!

I voted point & click not so much because I like the point & click but I like the sky view like looking down at your character and you can like tell if somethings on the ground or if some one it sneaking up behind you.. In 3D if you have it looking from above it just bugs me it has to be looking through like the characters eyes.I don't know if you all understood that but I'm not retyping it. Nuff said!

Well, I've been looking at Mythos, which is a game that was created by some of the people who worked on Diablo. In Mythos, it looks like you can switch between a Diablo viewpoint or a WoW viewpoint or a medium inbetween. Something like that would work, I think.

I don't know if you all understood that but I'm not retyping it.

Yeah, a lot of the spells in the Diablo series are area of effect and require you to be able to see enemies in all directions around you.

Except that the point of Area Effect spells is that you DON'T have to aim.

I suspect Diablo III will be like Starcraft II to Starcraft 1, look very similar but with better grahpics and gameplay.

They know they having a winner formula, it'd probably be best to play safest and not change it.
