Jay Wilson Interview: Diablo 3 Items

Diii.net continues to present excerpts from their exclusive interview with Diablo 3 Game Director Jay Wilson. Today's segment covers the items in Diablo 3. Jay talks about Monk-specific items, new item types, combat uses, and much more.

The Diablo 3 team always claims that they do itemization last, but they seem to have quite a bit done already, from all Jay had to say about it.

Leord5743d ago

Yes, they probably mainly say that so fanboys won't be pestering them for specific stats, as some attributes might change or be removed completely...

Xulfxulf5743d ago

jay was pretty evasive on the "any new item types" question.

- are there any new item types?
- yes

- besides the monk's fist weapons?
- no comment.

Leord5743d ago

Speaking with a low, husky voice and being evasive, what else does he do at Blizzard? :P

Leord5743d ago

Cool, I wanted to know more about items! :)

SCFreelancer5743d ago

The game already features lasers with the Wizard Disintegrate skill so maybe we are goin got see something similar in weapon form as well? ^^ I kind of hope not.

Leord5743d ago

What about weapons with spell charges? Would basically be a Laser gun then! :)

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.

Xristo145d ago

We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.

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.

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.

Diablo III - Still a Huge Draw in the Face of Diablo IV

Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.

Palitera824d ago

Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?

kevco33824d ago

Heh, yeah. There's no comparison in here! Its a commentary on how III is still very playable over a decade later.
