Paraphrase:
Q: Are you gonna drop support for SC and D2 now that the sequels are coming?
A: No. We'll support them for as long as there are people playing our games.
This is why Blizzard is much beloved in a nutshell.

I though we estabilished in the GoW thread that all manly games are totally gay.

Okay, the more I look at the gameplay videos, the more the style is pissing me off. One of the things I liked about the original Diablo games is that they looked completely different from Blizzard's other franchises. It had that whole dark, gothic-horror vibe going on which I really enjoyed.
In contrast, the art in the gameplay videos shown so far just looks too damn similar to Warcraft 3/WoW. Hell, they even reused the "dying pig" sound that Kobold's make when you kill them for the Zombies the Barbarian fights in the first part of that dungeon level.
Blizzard is obviously getting lazy. :nono:

Yes, well, one can't always be right.

If you guys can't look forward to something new because it uses more than 256 colours then I hope you never enjoy anything ever again.

The issue is not with the number of colours, but rather the overall tone and saturation.

Sorry, (

The top contrasting image is rather more in line with the original series. However, it would help that guy's position if he used proper English. "How it looks like"? :erg:

Anyone who gets hung up about the guy's use of English (I've heard native speakers use that phrase) needs to stop writing letters to The Times about the downfall of the English language and get a life, to be quite honest. Especially since the picture makes a fairly good point.
