More Diablo III rumors ?

Sorry to disappoint you dude, but my guess that this is for the rumored spreadsheet program Blizzard is supposedly working on.
 
Looks more like a slam dunk....look at all the "Top Secret" listings on the right and they all involve work on their upcoming MMO or design/animation/programming with D1/D2 designers. I'm really hoping some of the Iron Lore folks get picked up to work on this title as they really put some innovative features into Titans Quest/IT that would work great in an action MMORPG.

I don't think it'll be called D3 though, would have to follow WoW's lead with a catchy acronym based on teh franchise...like Diablo Overlord of Destruction which of course truncates to DooD!
 
A good question would be: Why would gamers not believe in a making of a sequel to Diablo II? Do gamers just don't want to revisit that tough and possessed world and know what happened to Tyreal? I sure would, as long as I don't have to pay to play it, as in it being a MMORPG, in which case I would simply not buy it.

Nothing happened to Tyreal - he stands guard at the gates of hell. The only plausible sequel could come from the fact that Ba'al's soulstone was never destroyed. Mephisto's and Diablo's were, hence they're not coming back. Which would make the name "Diablo 3" kind of... retarded.

What's this rumoured spreadsheet thing ? Why would they need 3d level designers for it ?

Blizzard claims to achieve "new levels of interactivity" by developing a 3D spreadsheet program that interfaces with your tax records. It's up to you to defeat the evil IRS, or at least evade its grasp. As per Blizzard's history, the software will be Windows and Mac compatible.

Hmm, interesting 😉

The original fight that imprisoned them in the soulstones would make for a good story I would guess. Of course that would make for an EXCELLENT MMO setup in that case - as it would be the armies of light versus the armies of darkness with humans caught in the middle, if I remember Diablo's backstory correctly.

Can you back up your claim with anything else ? Like, your a Blizzard employee ? Your brother works there ? You're a journalist and have inside information you can't reveal because it would expose the source, anything ?

Its just not possible, wish it was, the interview was great.
