What new competition ?

Most of the people that left Wow for AoC have come back and so war Warhammer looks very lackluster...

Is Blizzard attending E3 ?

I thought Activision and Blizzard had pulled out of ESA.

omg look check blizzard.net the image is opening more and more each day!!! :O

Man I hope so. And I hope it comes to a console, any console, as I am jonesing for a nex-gen hack n slash rpg. Has there been any games akin to diablo II, Champions of Norrath, etc on any of the new consoles? I played the crap out of both Champions games.

(I do have a PC to play them on, but for some reason I love those types of games on consoles).

I don't think it will come to consoles. Blizzards pc/mac exclusivity has done them wonders in recent years.

First off, WoW could decline 10% each for for 5 years and still be the biggest MMO out there, so I don't think they are to worried about it dieing. I doubt though that Diablo 3 will be an MMO (unless we don't hear about it for another 5-6 years) because they would be creating direct competition with themselves and why would they do that? The MMO is either Starcraft or something new so they carve a different part of the market out instead of carving into a market that they pretty much own. And so far there is only one Diablo rune, the other is Warcraft and there is a third that is Starcraft and there is a fourth in the bottom right that is for something new. Blizzplanet.com says it might be for a game Blizzard was going to publish but then decided not to.  And for the chance of it coming to consoles, between slim and none and slim has his bags packed and headed for the door.

If this is indeed D3 my dreams have come true. Oh please say the wait is over!!!

I shall cry heavily though if my laptop can not play it. :(

AHHH!!! Such a tease!!!

How long has it been since LOD released? 7 years now? Sept. 2001?

If this is true (damn I am really excited about this), I hope they bring the cows back. :)

Looks a lot like Starcraft to me
