Diii.net has posted a lengthy email from Russell Brower, Blizzard's Director of Audio and the main composer of the soundtrack of Diablo III (as well as SC2 and WoW). In the email Russell talks about what little they've so far released of the Diablo III music, what more we'll hear in the future, and what fans can expect from the music for the full game.
Russell: In regards to Diablo III-- all I can say is "you ain't heard nothing yet!"
Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.
If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.
We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.
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.
very cool that russell replied to a fan's mail, and with such interesting info. maybe that's the benefit of contacting the guys who aren't working just on one game. jay wilson has a billion interview requests; russell isn't as well known, so when a music fan shows up, he's happy to chat?
Well he's right! We've heard nothing yet!
Spill it!
It's cool that he got back to fan mail. I'm looking forward to hearing the new music.
So can't wait to hear the soundtrack of DIII, always love the music of blizzard games
I must say I was personally quite happy about the music of Diablo 3. It didn't have the exact same tunes as D1 or D2, but a certain something, especially around Tristram.
