I played the beta, tried 3 classes, very casually, you ain't missing anything folks, this game will be new and all, but is in no way in any shape or form, as magical as D1 and D2 were.

This is nothing but starcraft skinned with wow heroes. this is bad for me, because I don't really like either of those games, I loved Diablo 2 though. I will still play it to enjoy, as will 50 million other people, but no way in hell am I making this game a priority, and I thank the devil that my 3 year old computer can run it just fine.

i am not judging the game until it is installed, and I am onto finishing normal. The beta is perhaps nothing at all what the game is anyway. and besides, I guarantee you all, 10 patches in, will be again , a whole new game. at least for once, I hope, Blizzard will support it longer than they did with Diablo II.

I just hope they up the in town music, I can't hear shit so far.

This game is way fucking overdue anyway. Blizzard is just too bloated I guess. Why Diablo 7 isn't out by now, beats the living bujeezus out of me.

I am all for this, in fact, if I were to open a new simulator development studio, I would plunk down gobs of money on my own hardware to run the game as it should, for everyone to enjoy.

We need proper car, motorcycle, flight, games, with dedicated hardware, no windows, no sony, no nvidia, no ati. (edit oops almost forgot, Fuck off Apple)

may history finally repeat itself with dedicated ROM and Hardware at the core level.

The giants such as EA with ad spam and beancounting, Microsoft with their diseased Games for Windows Live, Sony and their lack of fundamental interests to the gamers that throw money at them, and Nintendo that has all the experience in the world, but delivers nothing over and over.

These giants need to cease and decist. It's way past their fucking bedtime.

It's time, I hope Valve reads this post, and makes good simulator games.

I am a gamer since pong, and am waiting for this to happen, you have a customer in me. I am excited such a news post came to be, what fucking luck this Friday the 13th. Awesome!

Yeah, I introduced myself to Avernum in the previous title to this one, and was hooked. Don't let it's simple or older graphical gameplay discourage you, it was one of the finest games I ever played, and enjoyed to read all the way through.

May play this gem till Diablo 3 hits, a great way to waste ~35 days.

They should settle this in a 1 v 1, no SW, rush allowed, just tanks.

I used to play Falcon 4, and LockOn, should I bother with this?

Fantastic News!

I grew up playing Larry 1 thru 3, on the Commodore Amiga, Then graduating 5-7 on the PC, with my first SoundBlaster audio card.

This game taught me so much adult education as a young lad of 13+ years old, and I simply adored the text adventure game and really cool backstory this game offered.

I was always hoping for a proper remake, and recently wrote some posts asking Al Lowe to please make a comeback, and wouldn't you know... I see this..

Truly great news, Will replay them all,
Larry 3 was the best.
Oh , don't judge Larry based on those recent Magna Cum Laude game, that was an absolute insult to the series, and has nothing to do with Al Lowe, that was a horrible spinoff title.

rush'n'attack with old school capcom like graphics, but I feel I've played the game already just by having watched the trailer.

keep em coming, indie guys. your mission, should you choose to accept or not, is to annihilate the likes of EA

Fuck all that. I want games for grown ups and games that target specific groups of people. Chances are that a game that appeals to 10 year olds isn't going to appeal to me, I am fine with that. But when you try to satisfy all you wind up with a big pile of human dog shit.... wait that didn't make sense.

So when are the armchair vets here at Bluesnews going to finally create your own gaming development studio?

As much as I respect your stance, and many do too, unfortunately 15 million people will still buy it Day 1. It's like boycotting Walmart or points on Whose Line is it Anway, or Occupy Wallstreet.

None of it matters anymore. We're 7 Billion now.

I can't wait to play the new SimCity, it's way overdue.

There are emulators aplenty, such as Amiga Forever , WinUAE, but no one has legal rights to obtain software for it, unless you own the originals and somehow create the .adf files from the disks.

But if GoG could incorporate all that, and bring back the REAL games from the golden 80's & 90's, well that would be icing on the cake.

I would give GOG $1,000 right now, if they could aquire Commodore Amiga game licences and sell them as PC Emulated ones.

UBI DRM - Boooooh!!! Hissss!! Claw! UBI is the DEVIL!! total Boycott!
UBI Assasins Creed - FUCK YES!! UBI are GODS!! 30 million players.

It's this great divide that lets corporations do whatever the hell they want. /today's times.

Ahh this is great news, I love this gaming studio, Their adventure games are of great quality, I just wish it wasn't too linear. But since it is story driven, it is to be expected, and I respect that. These guys are the closest in production value, to Future Wars for Amiga back in the glory days. I Look forward to new titles, and if a remake of Future Wars would only be possible!!

Furry plump panda bears of all things? Are they appealing to kids?

Totally catering to Asian market, where Blizzard hopes to maintain the 10mil subscription line .

I think WoW has had its great success, but nothing lasts forever, and with the 40 Billion Blizzard made, I won't feel bad for them if they lose %70 subscription overnight.

you might want to run this off an SSD and 16GB 1600MHz Ram, next year, when the time comes. (with Windows 7, 8 is banned)

GTX680 is calling! For Max 3 , and Skyrim(still haven't played)
but I might hold on to my GTX460 for another year, since Diablo 3 will keep me busy for that long, at least. Thanks Blizzard!

GW2, probably late fall only.

Will we ever be graced with example, Led Zep, PinkFloyd, U2, for Rockband? what do these artists and or law patent holders have far up their ass? Comon, Queen broke ground, wtf guys?

WAY overkill for d3. A $500 gaming box can play D3.
True enough, currently my 4 year old AMD Tricore can play Starcraft II, and D3 Beta at 60fps, 1080p. courtesy of GTX460 and Intel 80GB SSD.
