Seriously.  Wow.

It snuck up on me.

You know, I dared hope in the furthest recesses of my soul that possibly the greatest pc game ever made would someday see a sequel.  You know, before my hair & teeth fall out.

Finally!! Of course, now it’s just a year of waiting…I wish they’d waited another 6 months to announce it at least, but this is the way of modern gaming: multi-year pre-announcements, “developer diaries”, months/years of delays, etc.  Still, Starcraft 2 AND Diablo 3?  Wow, it’s going to be a banner few years for gaming.

I may finally quit City of Heroes.  Seriously, if anything could pull me away it’s the awesomeness that could be a new Diablo (not to mention I’ll save some money every month since it’s free to play online…well, hopefully anyway!).  Check out the gameplay videos; it looks gorgeous and lush!!  All without giving up that 3d-isometric viewing angle (or whatever the technical name is).  I can’t stand 1st person style games for the most part – MMOs are a rare situation where I can stomach it, and I play zoomed back out and above if the camera allows it (or don’t play the game at all).

EDIT:

Here’s a post on the D3 forums going over the posted video in great detail.

EDIT2:  Some comic reactions from around the web.
