  • linuxrocks2007, on 06/26/2008, -3/+183Can't wait to see the secret cow level in Diablo 3's engine!
  • z3021017, on 06/26/2008, -7/+157Diablo 3 would be the game to get me back into PC gaming.
  • CaptMonkey, on 06/26/2008, -4/+152It seems unlikely that they would make it an MMO, since it would be in direct competition with their biggest moneymaker. Plus, I think they want to corner the market on people who refuse to pay a monthly fee who are currently playing games like Guild Wars.

    Of course, they could always make it an MMO and make a package deal of something like $20 a month for Diablo + WoW... and we would all pay it. Productivity would slump, families would break apart, and Blizzard employees would swim in Scrooge McDuck-style money bins.
  • Shao00, on 06/26/2008, -5/+151so this being blizzard we should expect it approx. 3-5 years from now.
  • george2gfm, on 06/26/2008, -4/+128Please have no monthly subscription
  • Idgit, on 06/26/2008, -2/+120It's like middle school all over again, starcraft and a new diablo. Now if I could only have the same amount of free time as I had then...
  • RealmDown, on 06/26/2008, -17/+128*it's

    Sorry, good habit. Bury me also.
  • Checkerd, on 06/26/2008, -38/+130*an

    Sorry, bad habit. Just bury me.
  • mavranos, on 06/26/2008, -2/+93This calls for a celebration! I'll be mixing drinks in the Horadric Cube!
  • Digscuttle, on 06/26/2008, -3/+82FRESH MEAT!!

    OMG, I almost jumped out of my skin the first time I ran into the butcher... :D
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -3/+77Not even death can save you from me!
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -3/+75Just once I'd love for one of these announcements to go like this "We'd like to announce Diablo III. It will be available Friday."
  • Stupidumb, on 06/26/2008, -1/+68Do you really want SC2 and D3 to be released within 4 years of each other? I mean, come on, we wold all just stop eating.
  • lejake, on 06/26/2008, -2/+62Until I actually see the announcement from Blizzard, I refuse to believe this. Stop putting "confirmed" in quotation marks.
  • Namingway, on 06/26/2008, -12/+70buried as inaccurate....***** you sensationalist prick.
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -14/+64Finally...the time has come. LORD DIABLO SHALL RISE ONCE AGAIN!

    .....And will be overshadowed by someone else in one of the many expansions to follow.

    ....I honestly hope to god D3 (Damn that has a nice ring to it doesn't it? D3...) won't be all about the items this time. Maybe rip a page from WoW's book and introduce "Bind on Pickup" items. Now trying stealing my Enigma you *****!
  • Stupidumb, on 06/26/2008, -9/+57"M" is pronounced with an "e" sound at the beginning. Just leave it as an acronym, you *****. YOU ***** ***** *****. I'm sorry, this diablo 3 news is making me sex nuts and retard strong.
  • Augie1969, on 06/26/2008, -1/+47Good grammar is NOT a bad habit.
  • xEn1gma, on 06/26/2008, -2/+50I hope it doesn't look like WoW. PLEASE be the same FoV as Diablo 2 LOD.
  • PhantomRogue, on 06/26/2008, -3/+47Comment Abuse:

    This is NOT CONFIRMED. Its not released, its a D2 Fansite claiming to have inside information...
  • dygel, on 06/26/2008, -2/+42Buried as inaccurate. Blizzard hasn't confirmed anything yet. DiabloII.net claims to have "inside sources" confirming it. So, "DiabloII says, 'Yes'", not Blizzard.
  • dominikkom, on 06/26/2008, -1/+40I sense a soul in search of answers
  • biffen, on 06/26/2008, -1/+40Greetings.

  • Cate320, on 06/26/2008, -1/+39I find collecting items more fun than the actual story :x
  • MrMax99, on 06/26/2008, -2/+38BUT THE INTERNET SAYS IT IS TRUE!!!
  • leonidas333, on 06/26/2008, -3/+39As much as I like Shacknews, there isnt any more evidence here then I have heard on other posts to prove it is Diablo 3.
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -4/+34Not TF2, or Fallout 3, or Starcraft 2, or the Half Life series, or Spore?
  • jcrollman, on 06/25/2008, -4/+34I can't. Impossible.
  • baylat, on 06/26/2008, -2/+30why hello there!

  • whiteboyrob, on 06/26/2008, -1/+2850 SoJ for release date in this decade
  • cornerbodega, on 06/26/2008, -3/+32Why does the title say "Blizzard Affirms" and then cite a fan site? Buried as an attempt to shatter my dreams.
  • Enasni1212, on 06/26/2008, -0/+26::hears a ring drop::

    *Holds Alt* *CLICK*
  • Kenelm, on 06/25/2008, -0/+25CARPAL TUNNEL!!! CARPAL TUNNEL!!!
  • Merendino, on 06/26/2008, -2/+26OMG!!!!!!.....

    .....misleading title.
  • Rystic, on 06/26/2008, -9/+33You fool, there is no cow level.
  • thekungfuman, on 06/26/2008, -1/+24No, it is "an MMO" just like it is "an HTML" page. You use an when the next work begins with a vowel or a vowel sound. The letter M is pronounced "eh-mm" so using an would be correct.
  • apec766, on 06/26/2008, -1/+24I would personally drop out of school for 3 years. >_>
  • tyho, on 06/26/2008, -0/+23You have quite a treasure in that horadric cube.
  • Shao00, on 06/26/2008, -0/+23It wasn't meant to be sarcastic. Blizzard take their time on these games and polishes the hell out of them. You don't see this from any other game company. While it's painful to have to wait, their games become legendary when released.

  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -0/+22He did not imply the game would be rushed. He simply stated that it would be nice to have a "Diablo 3, been in development secretly for the past 4 years, will be available next week!"
  • baylat, on 06/26/2008, -7/+28you need to have mCain's leg for that to open up the portal.
  • rovsky, on 06/26/2008, -1/+22wrong, you go by the sound...if it has a vowel sound in the beginning its "an"
  • apec766, on 06/26/2008, -0/+21Mmm Hi-Def cows.
  • Remmiz, on 06/26/2008, -3/+24You've been missing out on some great games...sorry to hear that.
  • LimeParrot, on 06/26/2008, -1/+21"Just hire some more people..."
    It's called EA.
    Blizzard puts heart, time, effort and care into their games. And if it takes 10 years I don't mind waiting.
