Lookie here, kids. BlizzCon 08 is happening right along with the Tokyo Game Show, but that’s not stopping Blizzard from announcing some new things. Like this wizard class for Diablo III. Spiffy, isn’t?
I’m not excited though. There are plenty of other games coming out this year that warrants my attention. It was still nice to see that class in action though.
Was this against all odds? Was it anticipated? Was the worst kept secret of the month? Yeah.
There’s the teaser, there’s the gameplay video demonstration and a lot more on the official website. Just go there and be amazed.
It looks like great simple fun which I’m sure will generate millions in sales. As always, no release date yet.
Diablo3.com is now Diablofans.com. Why? Because Blizzard acquired it. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Diablo 3 is coming anytime soon, but it should be considered as some indication. Am I excited? Not yet. Not even close.
Another unsurprising decision was made earlier this week with Crysis and FarCry developer, Crytek, announcing their intentions to go multiplatform. The president of Crytek blames piracy. Perhaps they’ve become envious of all that cash the other developers are making. I would. I just don’t believe that they based their decision on piracy alone.
Finally, there’s this little Metal Gear Solid 4 “spoiler” trailer showcasing something very dear to Metal Gear fans. Watch it if you don’t care about spoilers. I watched and I was all giddy.
