With Blizzcon approaching quickly, and the teaser slowly
moving along day by day, anticipation for the sequel to the much loved Diablo
franchise is becoming rampant. Over at Diabloii.Net they have been tracking the
progress of the Teaser splash screens, and as of yesterday it looked very
promising that it could indeed be Diablo 3 that was going to be announced.
Now
that day 3 has rolled along, and the third glyph is revealed and it appears to
be a Starcraft glyph instead of a Diablo glyph. Which makes it look like they
are showing the legacy of their games with the glyphs. Who knows really - none
of us. I myself REALLY want it to be Diablo 3, but it could quite
possibly be an announcement for a new franchise all together. Which wouldn’t be
too bad either.
Sadly though, I'm going to speculate that if they do not
announce Diablo 3 this year, we will be waiting a long time for our newest
Diablo game (if ever). With all the Diablo clones out there, and Mythos doing
its thing, if they don't announce this year, I can see Mythos taking over as
the "Diablo" game (though it feels way more like WoW than Diablo) for
years to come, and Blizzard will just cut their "losses" and focus on
this new property.
That’s my two cents on the whole thing, I guess we will all
just have to wait till this weekend.
No Wammies! No Wammies! No Wammies!
