[Jan 05, 2012, 11:07 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A Diablo 15 Year Anniversary Website is now online, marking this recent milestone for Blizzard's action/RPG. This offers an overview of the game, a Diablo timeline, an extended retrospective, developer interviews, and more. As noted on Blizzplanet, the interview with Jay Wilson offers an optimistic outlook on the state of Diablo III development: "We are almost done with Diablo III, and that’s a fitting celebration of the 15th year anniversary for Diablo. So, we are getting it to you as soon as we can."

Being in beta (as short as it might be) I can say the game really 'feels' like Diablo. The base mechanics are very solid, the classes are all fun and feel different (and have different power curves). The graphics are.. well they are kinda shit. When you've been making a game for a decade and your engine is based on 2006 tech, that's to be expected. Good thing is, Diablo has 'never' been about the graphics. The gore sure, the horrific creatures, the sweet class abilities, but never about the graphics themselves. The mechanics are incredibly dumbed down but there is actually still a fair deal of complexity involved in the characters, this will be especially true at higher difficulties where you cant blow through Hell with a poorly set up character. Skill choice matters, as do runes and passives. You cant allocate your attributes and that f'ing blows, but IMHO it's better than a skill tree while retaining the customization of your character compared to others of your class. There will certainly be 'defacto Hell builds' but choices of passive skills and runes will really separate the 'good players' from the 'bad'. As to 'online only', that's been biting blizzard in the ass in beta and caused a great deal of ire amongst testers. This comment was edited on Jan 5, 2012, 13:50.
