I will now recreate my reaction to the news: DIABLO III! DIABLO III!
Starcraft 2, Fallout 3 and now Diablo III. This is a great year.
The official web site has screen shots and a trailer and all sorts of other cool stuff. I’ll put up the cinematic trailer in the post just above this and the gameplay trailer is way too big to post but can be downloaded from the official site, my favorite screenshots are after the jump.
That above, that’s not a request. That’s me playing with it to figure out what works. I was trying to make something that couldn’t get eaten, so I wanted it to be fast and to be able to see from all sides.
I did half of that.
It can see all right. It’s got four eyes on stalks. That thing has panoramic vision. Unfortunately its legs are badly placed and it has a bad habit of tripping over its own feet, making it ridiculously slow. The video is past the jump, it’s not fast.
Also I forgot a mouth. It’s going to become a problem when it gets hungry.
But now that I’ve got those wrinkles ironed out and I’ve learned that mouths are required for eating I’ve done two requests! The two easiest requests, yes, but two nonetheless. Brian and Marc, you’re up first:
Next up? The sequel to Viva Pinata, a game best remembered for the disturbing Penny Arcade comic it inspired (but which was pretty innovative). I’m not even going to try to explain it, I’ll leave that to Gieson upon his return.
