Blizzard just had there Q2 Conference Call where they delayed Starcraft into first quarter of 2010 and also hinted Diablo 3 release date 2010.
Continue to read about the hint about Diablo III release date 2010 by Mike Morhaime, Blizzard's CEO...
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
2010 better than 2009?
No ****.
I'd be willing to bet we'll see Starcraft 2 + a new WoW expansion next year. With Diablo 3 in 2011. *sigh*
Hey, I hope I'm wrong, but there isn't a WoW expansion hitting this year, so it HAS to be next year.
I highly doubt we will see d3 in 2010. I really hope so, but I know better than to expect it.
