No Diablo, Starcraft announcement at BlizzCon - briefly
(hx) 11:41 AM CEST - Aug,14 2005 - Post a comment / read (3)
This week's CNN Money Game Over column is about QuakeCon, plus also looks at the upcoming Blizzard fanfest, BlizzCon where they say there will be no Diablo 3 or StarCraft 2 announcement forthcoming.
One significant difference between QuakeCon and its peers is the price of admission. QuakeCon's a free event, open to everyone (though those under 18 must have proof of parental consent). BlizzCon and Fan Fair both carry ticket fees. BlizzCon, which will be held in Oct. 28-29 in Anaheim, CA, costs $125 per person (after handling fees). Fan Faire, held in June in Las Vegas, runs its attendees $120 and higher.

Blizzard expects up to 6,500 guests at BlizzCon, thanks in large part to the staggering worldwide success of "World of Warcraft". Over 3.5 million people pay $12.99-$14.99 per month to play the game. In addition to the opportunity to chat with the makers of the game and attend a concert, attendees will be the first to see what's next for Blizzard.

"We're going to be showing off a new product we haven't announced yet," said Wang. (And for those thinking it's the long-rumored unveiling of "Diablo 3" or "Starcraft 2," get ready for a letdown. Wang said the announcement will be linked to "World of Warcraft".)

ITs obvious now that Blizzard are pumping all its resources into the World of Wankcraft and doesnt want to touch the Diablo series. These numbskulls at Blizzard should have made the next chapter of the Diablo series into an MMO. The fans of the original two episode have been screaming out for a DIABLO mmo but the tossers at blizzard prefer to market the most unimaginable and cartoony kiddy trash that of warcraft. ITs a fact Diablo series is the only thing that made blizzard hit bigtime other than starcraft which is another genre there is no other fantasy game to date that has anywhere near excellence of fantasy and legend than diablo 1 and 2.

Its a god dam shame that we wont see a Diablo MMO/ 3 ! corporate biatches dam you !

and its a fact that WoW has been the most popular mmo to ever exist, regardless of the kiddy aspect you attach to it. Clearly your not the marketing genoius.

KingArthur(12:56 PM CEST - Aug,15 2005 )
And clearly your not a genius either...


I don't thing Diablo would translate well into a MMO, I don't see how they could make it any different than Diablo 2 online is now except you have 1000+ people all fighting cows or looking for unique drops instead of 8 I haven't played WoW so I don't know what that game is like but it seems to me that right now Diablo has nothing other than just fighting demons (or cows) for levels and drops and making an MMO like that (in my opinion) wouldn't do so well.

On the other hand Diablo 2 has some of my favorite skills like teleporting or changing into a wolf a MMO where I could do either of those would be sweet, I would love to teleport though a never ending landscape.[/b]
