what's so different about this patch vs. previous patches?

Dark Lord · Jul 30, 2005, 02:26 AM

no idea.

id also like to see diablo 3 or, preferably, StarCraft 2. mmmmmm Protoss-Zerg Hybrids.

i shuold see if my local EB ever gets copies of LOD in minus a cd key. i think i accidently threw my copy of LOD in the fire some time back.

Wow blizzard is cool, they actually support all of their games

CDsDontBurn · Jul 30, 2005, 03:12 AM

Blizzard

. my ex-gf works as a WoW CSR for Blizzard. I hate her now. That bitch.

In other news, Diablo II/Diablo II: LOD is still a good RPG IMO. And i would also like to see StarCraft 2 come out as well.

can not figure out why they have not committed to d3. while it would take a lot of $$, it is a proven moneymaker. more so than just about any other pc game out there.

Dark Lord · Jul 30, 2005, 06:35 AM

its been rumord that D3 is actually in the works right now. it was mentioned on gamespot i beleive, that the music for diablo3 is done.
i forget how the whole story went, but i guess music very similar to D2 was recorded at a special studio in some remote location of romania, the same studio that D2's music was recorded in.

*edit - ok, my memory isnt as good as i thought. found the article i was looking for.

" Blizzard didn’t make any allusions about a possible Diablo 3, but this didn’t stop rumors from circulating.

After Bill Roper’s resignation, it <img>
looked that it won’t be any sequel to Diablo, even though Blizzard North had started to look for experienced designers.

But after Ropers’s announcement that his new studio will launch Hellgate: London, an employee of the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra posted on DiabloII.net information according to which the orchestra is currently working at the soundtrack for Diablo 3.

Actually, the information was received as an e-mail whose content was this:
“I am musician in Czech Republic. I play not with one orchestra but with many depending on work. I have recently been to Bratislava in Slovak Republic for recording sessions with local Radio Symphony Orchestra, where we just recorded music for Diablo 3.”

The information might contain some truth, because the same orchestra recorded the music for the add-on of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.

Obviously Blizzard didn’t make any comments."

wont this game die out yet? its such a resource hog and reptitive and addictive for some reason.

Kemal · Jul 30, 2005, 08:42 AM

A lot of the people who worked on Diablo 2 left Blizzard, and are currently working on a game called Hellgate: London. Hellgate:London is a Diablo2 style game, except it's a FPS. I know that sounds strange, but its true. The screens look really amazing.

Even if we get a Diablo 3, Hellgate: London will be its true successor.

Dark Lord · Jul 30, 2005, 08:43 AM

i do have to admit hellgate looks very promising. and with most of the blizzard staff that did D2 working on it, it should be very fun.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 30, 2005, 11:18 AM

hmmm..... a FPS syle Diablo II game

yippeeee!!!!

Ulric · Jul 30, 2005, 03:20 PM

It's about freakin' time, Blizzard! After all this time, I still have a copy of D2 in my apartment just begging to be installed again.

Stop It · Jul 30, 2005, 03:23 PM

Hmm, another patch for Diablo 2, wonder what it will include :-)

mike2h · Jul 30, 2005, 04:13 PM
