Shock horror the worst kept secret in gaming has finally been officially announced – Blizzard are developing Diablo III. Anyone surprised? I mean it was only a matter of time until they let the world know what they already knew.
The casual reader may surmise from the above tone that I’m less than impressed and not very excited over this monumental story. Well you couldn’t be further from the truth people. Diablo III is going to be the dogs b******s and no mistake.
I spent countless hours with the first game and loved its simple combat, great gameplay and the stunning visuals. I never really got into Diablo II for some reason but I can still appreciate its mark on today’s gaming. From what I understand it was one of the biggest games of its day played by many, many people both off and online and created a style of play that others have copied over and over.
Diablo III will be a landmark title for PC that people will flock to and enjoy regardless of the meaningless current day console wars. Blizzard need to update a winning formula and carry it kicking and screaming into today’s crowded market which will be incredibly difficult, but lets be honest here, its Blizzard we are talking about.
They don’t know how to fail.
PC gaming is far from dead as many would say. It moves from strength to strength at an almost measured pace and will continue to be the destination of games that shape our future expectations of what is great and defining in a time where the gaming industry becomes more mainstream and better yet, more accepted by the general populace.
