Blizzard's New Battle.net Version

Diii.net is concluding their huge compilation of Battle.net 2.0 information with a feature of rumours and quotes from Blizzard, nailing down the last features of the famous gaming network that we will see when StarCraft 2 launches, and the same network that will be available for Diablo 3.

This is about it until Blizzcon =)

kalos6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

I hope this year's Blizzcon will have additional details, it looks promosing but I think Blizzard still have some tricks they're hiding right now about the new system.

Still better than so called "web 2.0"

Leord6100d ago

Well, there are in fact some interesting things with "web 2.0" as well. As every strange name for things, it's a name of a concept rather than a technology. the principle to include users more into content.

Daver6100d ago

sure they will have more info there, they wont only show WOW expansion, there will be more about d3, starcraft 2, and the new battle net

I hope we get a release date for starcraft 2 at least (or something like q2 2009)

Leord6100d ago

I'm pretty sure there won't be any release predictions, even if they release in Q1 2009. Still, I am hoping for a SC MMO, but who can blame me? ;)

Finally some love for diablo 3, I completely agree with its placing! Very nice coop on the ps3 back in the day, but solo was a good grind as well, very enjoyable.

The only thing that irked me was buying the complete or ultimate edition or whatever and suddenly introducing a dlc that's not included.

Trash article. No way you should be listing the original as third beat.

Also Immortal should have been left off. It's a whale machine not a game.

Pergele70d ago

Diablo 3 > Diablo 2. I tried D2 after playing D3 many times and didn't like that nearly as much as 3.

Diablo 2
Diablo 1

After this Diablo died.

Was aware the iconic Starcaft IP was jumping to South Korea ....

jznrpg78d ago

Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.

Sonyslave378d ago (Edited 78d ago )

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.

goken78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Profchaos78d ago

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build
