It would be hard to sum up my excitement for this announcement with the mere use of words, so if everyone could imagine me doing a happy dance while screaming "woohoo" at the top of my lungs, that would get the point across a bit better.

Diablo III

I honestly thought the teaser page was going to unveil an open beta date for WotLK, but I'm so glad I was wrong. They've kept the isometric point of view, God love 'em, and so far it looks to be everything the die-hard fans (myself included) were hoping for.

(Durand, I guarantee you'll be enjoying these cutscenes :))
 
ITs great!
They appear to have kept all the aspects that we as loyal fans wanted to see :)
Even down to using the same game engine as starcraft 2 ;)
 
I can't wait to see if they bring back an incarnation of the sorceress...

I still love my ice-orb lobbing, hydra-spouting little tart of doom.
 
Well so far we're only getting 5 character classes, so I wonder who we're losing to gain the Witch Doctor? Hopefully the Sorc will remain.
 
I suspect the witchdoctor is a merge of the druid and necromancer. Its hard to think which character classes that they have dropped - each is very iconic.
I think sourceress will be back as you can't drop the primary magic basher! I wonder if they will add more in expansiosn - I would like my druid and assassin back!
 
Diablo II is one of the two games I ever enjoyed playing, and this looks so incredibly awesome that all of a sudden a spark of nerdness ignited itself somewhere inside me.
 
I think I've mentioned this before elsewhere, but I never really got into the whole D2 online "thing." I may have to give it a go this time 'round, however, as I'm already really intrigued by some of the supposed changes being made to Battlenet. And I'm sure we'll see the customary expansion pack for D3; I just hope we'll see more than one for this iteration. It's possible Blizzard will recognize that there is a certain level of perpetual support that could benefit the D3 online community, and as a result we may even see content releases similar to the point-release patches WoW receives. I'd love it if the game could expand over time in that same way...

I do believe I was beginning to go on a tangent there, excuse me :(
 
I suspect (and hope) that we will see some of the older characters return in expansions (why just one!) and later chapters to the story
 
Agreed. I never got into the Battle.net thing either. Though I used to play it on Local Network with a friend of mine, which was quite fun. I guess we might want to do that again. Can't wait! Argh!
 
I have only gone battlnet once or twice and those times I was playing with people I knew who were in different nations so we could not LAN the game ;)
I think D2 worked really well as both single and multiplayer experiences - a very hard thing to do with many games
 
it might be refering to the cultists in the game which summon forth enemies into battle.
Thing is I see the witch doctor being a necromance druid merge character. I hope its not to be though
 
I hope not. I've always liked the Druid and Necro best. But this Witch Doc looks like it can become my favorite character already. The Barb is just a bit too much of slashing, though his moves look very cool I have to say.
 
The trailer was fantastic - the graphics were better than some 3D films!! The graphics of the game itself aren't too shabby, either. In fact, I'm contemplating the possibility of buying it.

What I want to know, though, is whether or not it is known if the online component will com with a daft fee, the likes of which mean that you effectively re-buy the game every three months.
 
I agree with marky - it should be a free online component - that was the way of Diablo 2 and I can't see why it would be different for Diablo 1.
Its a single player hack and slash at heart with a good multiplayer component added on - and its not EA so I don't see blizzard pushing "optional extras" on people via charging fees. An expansion yes - extras that have to be bought like swords or such no
