    Five total classes it looks like, two of them being Barb and Witch Doc of course.

    In the second video posted on the site, the guy presenting it mentions there being 7 classes.

    He says "several", not seven. And the FAQ says 5.

    Speaking of Blizzard blue-balling us with lack of information, why the fuck haven't we heard anything new about SC2 in a while?

    Oh, you want to tell us about Char? We know about Char.
    Give us new information bastards.

    Also, Diablo III. Yay.

    The visuals are great, they are pretty without requiring everyone to have an 8800GT, even though those will be old hat in a couple years when this beast is finally released.

    Wait. You've reminded me. If Diablo III is not an MMO, then the next gen MMO must be...

    Oh yes. It will be mine.

    Oh yes sir. Oh yes. It is still down there, in the dark, waiting to come out...

    Starcraft Galaxies: an MMOFPS with playable siege tanks and Xel'Naga.

    edit: So is anyone connecting to any seeds on the gameplay trailer torrent yet?

    Why are people torrenting it when the videos are so readily/easily viewable on http://eu.blizzard.com//diablo3/ ?

    From the looks of it, Tristram will play an important role as an area in the game, and there is a Lut Gholein-esque town named Caldeum which is obviously going to be a gameplay hub (there is isometric view concept art on display).

    Because I want it in a nice high res. Also, by torrent, they mean blizzard downloader that you get from the download links on that page.

    Nope.

    From the FAQ:
    When will Diablo III be released?

    It's too early to estimate Diablo III's release date. As with all Blizzard Entertainment games, our goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players.

    Hahaha

    Quick question, was the voice in the cinematic trailer the voice of Jennifer Hale(Bastila, Fall-From-Grace, Deionarra, Mazzy) because although there's a good resemblance I can't quite be sure if it's the same person.

    Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

    It's the same voice actress who did the World of Warcraft intro cinema. And some nightelf voices in general.

    Right, five years, then.

    Is cool.

    God damn it now I have to go buy diablo 2 again. It's not just a maybe, or a perhaps, or a should. Cry.


    I really feel sorry for Diablo, I felt for him, wanted him to have a good, solid victory. Now we have to smack him down again? At least he's getting a little break.

    I watched the first few minutes with a building sense of disappointment. I've been playing Diablo the past couple of days and I have to say that the original Diablo was better than Diablo 2. I can't explain the qualities that make it so, but I guess the very first combat kind of sums it up. In the original Diablo, getting surrounded was a death sentence. Here, it's just Tuesday. In Diablo 2 and it looks like in Diablo 3, that sense that every monster could be the death of you is missing. I guess I would prefer that monsters be scary as opposed to cannon fodder.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to buy it, but I was hoping they'd move back toward Diablo's atmosphere and gameplay.
