Diablo 3 (Future)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEvThjiE038 ("Diablo III: Gameplay Trailer" in youtube if link is not working) This link shows the gameplay trailer of Diablo III, which is supposed to be coming out sometime next year. The 19 minute video is well worth watching for anyone who loves hack and slash gameplay with a bit of strategy thrown in. Diablo III is an action game where you get to kill demons. The main premise of the story is still unknown since in Diablo 2 the player supposibly destroyed the 3 Prime evils, Diablo, Mephisto and Baal (all synonyms for devil) in the previous game and destroyed their soul stones, which bound them to the world of Santuary (the game world). The thing that makes this game different from those today (besides being a Diablo game) is that this game will have unlimited replay value. I'm not just saying that for the sake of saying it, by unlimited I mean there will be random "adventures", (I forget the actual term and where I got this information, but I have been looking up Diablo 3 information for a LONG time) where you are randomly assigned a quest from a very large database of quests, which I think is based off either the level of the character or where the character currently is. If you want more information go to http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/ or just go to Blizzard's website and select Diablo 3.

  1. Interesting post Will. I don’t play games much anymore so not sure how Diablo 3 will be like, but I remember the original Diablo and it was a pretty cool game. The random quests seem like a cool way to add some replay value. The graphics of the Diablo games have always been cool.

  2. I'm not a game player. Yet your post seems interesting. It is obvious that you are an expert in video games.
