There's going to be a lot changing by way of the game mechanics, including the dynamic surroundings. Rather than maneuvering around half-demolished walls or wreckage, you can use your attacks to destroy this stuff and kill enemies with it. It's not going to be as graphically intense as Crysis, but I think there's something to be said about a game that has the balls to say they don't need the massive engine updates.

If Diablo III would've been styled after WoW or EverQuest, I would have been worried.

Diablo 3 Wheeeee!!!

ahem. just wanted to share that.

*goes back into lurking mode*

If you're interested (and havent seen it yet for some reason) here is the website and gameplay trailers (at the top of the page) for diablo, along with some commentary PASS JUDGEMENT!

Why have I just heard about this?! But, it's not like it matters. It's not going to come out for years. Neither is Starcraft II.. But that gives me time to buy a new computer, cause they certainly won't run on the one I have now.

It does look awesome though.

I don't think that this is going to require any major upgrades, which is fantastic news I think. It gets a little rediculous when people feel forced to shell out a thousand bucks every time a new game releases. UT3, I'm looking at you.

:) One upgrade every 5 years. That's my rule!

UT3 Worked on my PC, and it only had 2 Gigs of RAM, a 2.2 GHz processor, and an nVidia GeForce 7600 GS.

Nothing high powered or anything.

Yeah, well, I have 512 mb of ram and a radeon 9250.. it's a hunk of junk. World of Warcraft only barely ran on my computer.

Buy a new one! BUY A NEW ONE!!

Easier said than done!

Not true!!

Just built that rig for myself at just over $1,600. Subtract the monitor (22" $300) and it only runs you $1,300 plus roughly fifteen bucks on shipping.

- AMD 6600+ 2x Core 3.0GHz Processor
- EVGA GeForce 9600GT 1.0GB Graphics Card
- 4GB Corsair RAM
- ASUS SATA Gigabyte Motherboard with shiny copper tube thingies (I don't know!!)
- PC Power & Cooling 750-watt power source
- Samsung 500GB HDD
- Antec 900 Mid-Size case w/ 4x 120mm & 1x 200mm vents (huge airflow)
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition
~ 5 hours to build (first ever build for me)

You'd be surprised how easily you can budget out a loan, too. I have a loan out to my bank that requires me to pay about $120 a month, but I'm getting this paid off by the end of August so I can take out *another* loan of tuition.

If you do get in the market for a new computer, build one. It may look intimidating, but if you've ever opened your case to clean things out, maybe install a couple small parts, it's surprisingly simple. And about $1,000 - 3,000 cheaper. This rig that I built was priced at just under $3,500 at Dell (matching the specs, not the parts). If you're buying a pre-built system, you're paying the company a good 200% markup to have a machine plug in your parts.

Built it, and become an honorary geek!

My comp is rather old, but it still pwns; considering it can play bioshock on high settings its good enough for me. I have an older motherboard that companies don't make parts for anymore. Since all my hardware works for this one it means in order to upgrade it I need to buy a whole new comp. I plan on spending a lot of money on a brand new one in 2009 so yay.

As long as I can play some of the newer games like Starcraft II then I am good until Diablo III comes out. I would assume it will come out in 2010 because starcraft I spent several years in development, I believe. Either way viva la Blizzard! loi

Ew, don't blow your load on some built-in-the-factory junker! You can get an arguably best-computer-out-there for the prices they charge for these mediocre systems.

BUILD IT!!!!

Hope that wasn't to me. I don't really on all these company made computers and what not. I buy each piece alone, just certain circumstances prevent me from upgrading easily.

god i remember playing D2 when i was like 11, T.T it was a hackers paradise
then, i was a Necromancer and someone gave me a single charm that let me
summon and extra 30 skeletons, hell later i got a charm that killed Diablo himself just for being near him <.< overkill i'm sure

Were you playing open battle.net? Don't do that. Thats very bad. I usually play in passworded games by myself or with real life friends.
