Diablo 3 developer panel from the WWI.
Some notes on:
- The barbarian and his on-moving to the new time.
- Character design.
It’s a bit choppy and it unsyncs for some reason.. sorry about that.
Check out the Diablo 3 Blog for classes, diablo 3 item list (confirmed items), skills, and a lot more:

Diablo 3 has been officially announced at the Blizzard’s Worldwide Invitational 2008.
Some features and facts of Diablo 3:
- Footage was shown of large scale battles, comets streaking across the sky, demons, as Diablo 3 was officially announced.
- It is apparently still an action RPG. Same interface: red health and blue orbs, skill bar at bottom, 3/4 overhead perspective. Also a character with 2 axes hacking at demons in what appears to be a foggy cathedral. Has a jumping attack where he smashes the two axes into the ground.
- The axe guy is the barbarian class. Improvements have been made, like the hotbar for skills. Using the mouse wheel and tab key you can quickly switch between skills. There are still slot limits. Using enchanted axes with frost and lighting ,which stuns and freezes opponents. Whoing inventory.
- Red orbs that drop from enemies will replenish health without you having to use items. Demon foes have a summon ability. Barbarian’s jumping attack covers a lot of distance. Was shown flying up a staircase. Also some kind of shockwave attack will be part at the Barbarians disposal.
- Blizzard is touting interactive environments as an important feature!
- Each piece of gear is custom designed for each class. Barbarians put on demonic style garb, with devil horns. They can also hop across the map.
- A Barbarian was shown disloging a rock wall and dropping it on zombies, killing them.
- A demo was shown of the whirlwind attack.
- Deckard Cain is in the game. When talking to NPCs, the game appears to switch interfaces. The changed interface highlights the character model. Having to rescue Cain from this cathedral.
- More barbarian skills. A barbarian can use a ground stomp attack to get skeleton warriors to drop their shields, making them easier to take out.
- Cultist enemies have the ability to transform into a more destructive force, so they must be taken out quickly.
- There are scripted events, like walls breaking appart, and cultists summoning a fat demon who’s shock waves shatter stone pillars in the environment.
- Diablo 3 is first and foremost a co-operative game, says Blizzard.
- New Witch Doctor Class! Can summon pets, control minds of his enemies, and cast various diseases.
- More witch doctor information: It can cast out locus swarm, which spreads between targets and deals damage. Can summon mongrel things that he can cast locust swarm on. This also buffs their damage. can use a fire bomb spell. Can summon a wall of zombies that stays stationary, but the zombies in the wall flail their arms and do damage to their opponents.
- Outdoor environments are great looking! Very vibrant and slightly cartoonish Blizard graphical style. As with Starcraft 2, it’s very similar in style to Diablo 2.
- Diablo 3 looks and sounds, similar to it’s previous games. Which is great to hear.
- Diablo 3 Multiplayer information! Multiplayer will work over battle.net as before.
- In Diablo 3 Huge bosses are in the game, much bigger than Diablo 3. Around six or seven times taller than the players character!

As if I won’t buy it.
I was only talking about how the graphics are similar to WoW and I only use WoW as a reference because it was the first Blizzard game to use the cartoon-ish graphics, it does not look real one bit. I LIKE the gothic and celtic design. The charm of Diablo was not only the gameplay. If D3 is anything like the first two games it will kick ass. I will be playing.
February 25th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
how does it look …
how does it look like WoW? WoW is not isometric. Doesnt have the globes at the bottom, and seems to be played way different.
Besides, Diablo was never about look really, it was about gameplay. Just be thankful they are even working on it.
I for 1 cant wait for this 1 to come out.

The fact that …
The fact that Teleport is now an optional damage skill makes the Wizard undeniably wicked with a passion. I like.

Don’t get your hopes too high though, remember London gate? I am trying to forget it. Anyway i am disappointed they brought back king elbrec as a boss in db3. So far they got one strike they got with me alreadt

Yeah i heard that before the video aired a good friend of mine works for Blizz, let me tell ya before we even talk he tells me he cannot say anything about Db3. I n his words he knows i love playing dark characters sticking it to demons. something tells me a demon hunter might be one. Honesty no one knows what blizz does there known for being unpredictable

February 25th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
The game looks like …
The game looks like freaking world of war craft to me. How can you be sure their won’t be an assassian class do you work for blizzard? Blizzard is known for telling one thing and doing something else. the assassin could be a blend of the necromancer/ assassian or Shoalin/ demon hunter specialty in dealing with true evil you know the with worshipping buddha. Let’s wait and see
February 25th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
That’s hoot maybe …
That’s hoot maybe the person really got into the game. You know play the game become the character, what would you do in that situation. For example gears of war 2 horde first time playing made it to level 10 only died twice
