Diablo 3 Delayed

[The Helper]

I hear from the grapevine that Diablo 3 is delayed for a while so they can redo some stuff. This is all inuendo but I hear from good sources that the first looks did not go over well on the art - which is not surprising since most of the Diablo talent at Blizzard went to Flagship Studios and ended with Hellgate - and the rest are lost in the World of Warcraft.

I know Blizzard is going to come back with some More on this but it might be a while. Stay tuned....

Sums up my thoughts perfectly.

Gah. Does this mean nothing new will even be released? Like the creatures and places information?

A Blizzard game delayed? How unexpected Damn, that sucks

Indeed

I liked the look, ppl bitched that is was too dark and creepy, guess this is what we get

Ye, I agree, it looks good to me (wasn't the Diablo world kinda released from darkness when the Prime Evils died?), but people are getting really picky They're getting D3 for f*ck sake, can they not just be happy about that and not whine about stuff?

EDIT: Wait, were they bitching because it was too dark, or too bright? I thought it was because it was too bright (and one particular thing about the positioning of a rainbow, IIRC )

 

[monoVertex]

Yeah, they bitched about it being too bright.

If they make it darker they're going to lose a lot of people as well, simply because we can't see anything in the game.

I'm hoping that it's actually just because they're going to improve on the art.

That's worth a delay. Making everything darker isn't.

 

[emjlr3]

regardless, I thought it looked good

in dungeons and such, hell yea it was dark

but out in the open, near streams and lighted areas, the sun should shine

How can you actually whine, when we have waited for so long?

That's what you see every day when working with the public - random and mostly bad behaviors. It wouldn't change here, evne though it's D3.

 

[The Helper]

They never announced a date. I am just saying its going to be a while. I am glad they are being careful with the Diablo property. I am enjoying Diablo 2 still so they are not too late for me. I want Diablo 3 when Blizzard says its ready.

Delayed!?, thats a good news!

 

[The Helper]

Delayed!?, thats a good news!

They heard ya.

 

[BlackDeath09]

how have you guys waited so long, do you know nothing about making a game? it takes a minimum 4 years to make a game they did not start making this game till 2 and half years ago when it was still on petition to become a work for blizzard( i ran the petition website so i know). and you should not expect sc2 or D3 anytime before 2nd quarter 2010

 

[emjlr3]

actually I just heard through the grapewine that SC2 will begin private beta testing by the fall - which I assume would well...keep with your timeline, lol

 

[Cheesy]

Then post this in the SC2 forum?...

 

[BANANAMAN]

Seriously why are people so surprised about this?

 

[Cheesy]

I don't really know.

I'm happy that they delay the games. The sooner you get it, the worse it will be.

 

[quraji]

Anyone who follows Blizzard's games shouldn't be surprised by any sort of delay, and they also shouldn't be upset about it. Blizzard doesn't release crap, and they're not afraid to keep us waiting if it means assuring the quality of their game.

Apparently, Blizzard actually cares

 

[BlowingKush]

I doubt the credibility of your grapevine.
