Diablo III Announced!

Atomic.Ice — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:47:16 +0000

watch the gameplay video and teaser trailer at www.blizzard.com/diablo3

SHALL TREMBLE.

Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram’s Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

Explore a fully-realized Sanctuary – the living, breathing gothic fantasy world of Diablo III rendered in gorgeous 3D.

Battle the unholy forces of the Burning Hells with all-new character classes like the otherworldly Witch Doctor, or with re-imagined warriors from Diablo’s past: such as the fierce Barbarian.

Rain Hell on your enemies wielding the interactive environment as a weapon: lay cunning traps, turn destructible objects against your foes, and use environmental obstacles to your advantage - all powered by the Havoc physics system.

Experience the intensity of multiplayer Diablo III over an all-new, wickedly-enhanced Battle.net platform with numerous enhancements to make connecting with your friends easier – and cooperative gameplay more fun.

Eyes Apear Obviously The Lich King.

Lately eyes have appeared and they are no doubt the Lich King’s. But some have noticed the protoss symbol also appears in the corner.

Blizzard Teases Fans! Could It Be D3?

Atomic.Ice — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:18:27 +0000

UPDATE : Looks like someone figured it out.

Well sorry Diablo fans it seems the symbol is the same symbol on the Frostmourne sword (World of warcraft Wrath of the lich king)

But knowing Blizzard it could be anything.

_____________________________________________________________

As you may notice the site is being a little quieter than usual, mainly because i really want to continue coding a Starcraft Unite 2.0.

Recently Blizzard has added 2 images to its site (very similar) Some gamers believe this could be Diablo 3.

(click image to enlarge)

Both images depict some weird symbols could they be Naga, Protoss, or Demonic? Nothing to do but wait.

SC2 Terran unit info- Reaper and Viking

vaporpwnage — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:10:50 +0000

Reaper
Trains From: Barracks
Armament: P-45 Scythe Gauss Pistols, D-8 Charges
Role: Raider
To sum this up the Reapers are the most hardened Terran criminals. They come from the worst prisons, and are trained as Reapers in the Torus system. They are given agression-enhancing chemicals and jetpacks. If they last 2 years they are set free, but that hasn’t happened. Their main weapon is the Guass pistols which are weak but rapid firing(Yes 10x, they’re rapid fire). They can be upgraded to have explosive charges too. best for short raiding attacks, probably good for micromanaging. Also can use Stim packs.

Viking
Builds From: Factory
Armament: Twin Gatling Cannon (assault mode)
MT50 Lanzer Torpedoes (fighter mode)
Role: Air Combat/Ground Support
This replaces the Valkyrie and the Goliath. It could possibly replace the Wraith. It is one of my favourite SC2 units. It can switch from a Air-Air unit to a ground-to-ground unit. It can basically change between a Valkyrie sort of unit to a Goliath sort of unit. Good for supporting each other from ground and air. Makes the enemy bring both air and ground to stop them.

I will have more unit posts later but I don’t have enough time now.

Starcraft II Q&A

Atomic.Ice — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:10:00 +0000

1. An important aspect of any RTS game is for all races to have a way to siege fortified island positions, do the Protoss and Terrans [[and Zerg]] have a unit that is capable of doing so? (sclegacy.com)

All factions will have units capable of attacking from a longer range. Zerg have the Swarm Guardian, Terrans have the Battlecruisers Yamato Cannon, and the Protoss have the Carrier (which has gotten some additional abilities since we last talked about it). However we are not at all sure that these are enough to deal with fortified islands. More testing will tell us if this is sufficient or if we need more.

2. The Infestor is a very impressive unit that enchanted the community, because we all wanted to see a unit that is able to move while it is burrowed. Nevertheless there are still pending questions. Can the Infestor even infest Zerg buildings? Are infested marines produced as fast as it is shown on the gameplay trailer? Do you have to train them manually or will they pop out automatically? Do they cost minerals?(starcraft2.4players.de)

Like many Zerg units the Infestor is still under development. It cannot infest Zerg buildings though that is something we are still discussing. The speed at which Marines are generated changes frequently as we work on the ability. Sometimes its fast, sometimes not so fast. They will (probably) pop automatically. They do not have any cost associated with them.

3. The Medivac is a very interesting Unit, but there are not many information given to us so far. Can you tell us any more details about it? At which tier can it be found? How does the healing work? Can it even heal multiple units at once and how fast does it heal compared to the medic? (starcraft2.4players.de)

The Medivac is currently available from the Starport (no add-ons required). The healing works just like the medic. We will (if we keep the mechanic) be adding a graphic of the Medivac deploying medical drones to heal friendly biological units. It will only be able to heal a single unit at one time. The speed at which it heals changes frequently as we try different balance options.

4. There are many ambiguities concerning the Roach due to the much different information that has been given to us. Many users are quite unsure about its kind of attack. Is it a melee unit or is it ranged? Or is it kind of a crazy mix of both? And most important: can it hit air as well? (starcraft2.4players.de)

The Roach is ranged. He has been melee in the recent past (hence the art with the big claws) but he is currently ranged. This gives him added utility at chokes where he really shines. We have tried it as ground only and we have tried it as being able to hit ground or air. Currently it is ground only.

5. Can a Zerg Corruptor infest lifted-off Terran buildings, Colossuses, and other Zerg units such as Mutalisks or other Corruptors? Can Corruptor infest Thors, Siege Tanks or Marines if they are lifted-off by Anti-Gravity? (Battle.net) PCBANGFT

Yes, Corruptors can infest anything that flies or is forced into the air by abilities such as Anti-Gravity. In the situation of a unit being lifted by Anti-Gravity, the unit will return to the ground when the anti-gravity effect ends and sit on the ground. The corrupted unit is only allowed to attack air units and will do so if an enemy air unit flies by.

6. What is the reasoning behind changing Colossus’ ‘sliding’ thermal lances (from 1st gameplay movie) to an array of beams (zerg trailer)? Balance? Visuals? Will it be possible to choose such sliding or array (or is it just ‘horizontal’ line?) fire mode from the Map Editor (available also for any other unit)? (battle.net) Dagguh

The array of beams give a more interesting AOE template for players to attempt to micro. The sliding beam looks cool, but ultimately doesnt produce any new gameplay. The current visuals on the beam are temp to see if we like the mechanic.
