Blizzard.com Splash

5 hours until the next splash.

If this is some WoW shit, I'm never trusting Blizzard again and I'm not buying Starcraft 2. Its actually that dull that I can seriously say that.

[Mr. Tastix]

It's not WoW, it's been said that it's NOTHING to do with SC2 or WotLK. People are real confused though, as the images in the CSS file are pretty fucking weird - http://news.curse.com/details/11147/

As far as I'm concerned. I don't want another MMO, World of Warcraft is good enough IMO without them making another. I believe they could easily make another successful MMO and only because WoW is so popular.

I would much prefer Diablo 3 to Warcraft 4 but BOTH games I fucking want, tbh. As for this project "Hydra?" Could be fake, could be something entirely different, who knows. But the fact that Curse state is a next-gen MMO fucks me off because I hate the idea of a new MMO. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP MAKING FUCKING MMOS.

[James]

ITS EITHER THE NEW STARCRAFT RACE OR DIABLO FUCKING 3

I'D HATE BLIZZARD IF ITS SOLELY FOR THE NEW WOW EVENT LEADING UP TO WOTLK

[Siva]

I hope it's WoW 2, just to stick it in your collective craw

[Dex]

It is Diablo III.

[James]

Don't be getting my fucking hopes up.

[Mr. Tastix]

It is Diablo III.

If this is true then I'm pretty happy. I want a WarCraft 4 game, as well, but Diablo is WAY more deserving of it. Before WarCraft and StarCraft there was Diablo. And people loved it.

Remember though - THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. You're probably right but yeah, don't get my hopes up either.

Either way, Blizzard have underestimated the power of speculation and how much most gamers love challenges. Developers never expect how much speculation will go into shit like this. The more they try to hide the more we try to find.

[James]

The same can be applied to Arthas, Protoss and the Lost Vikings.

You can view an HQ or LQ stream of the WWI opening ceremony here. It runs from 11:45am to 1:00pm Saturday morning.

[Mr. Tastix]

The real problem is the image is called "ice#..." but seriously, who gives a fuck? You KILL Diablo for fucks sake. I am goddamn hoping for a Diablo III game. Seriously, a fucking massive cliffhanger at the end of D2/LoD. I mean c'mon!

At least with WarCraft, whilst I'd like to see a WC4 I find it extremely unlikely to happen because of Wrath of the Lich King in which will basically continue the storyline of The Frozen Throne to some degree (you even side with Arthas at some points, apparently).

Man I love speculation. I'll be just as annoyed if they don't make Diablo 3 just as much as I will be if Deus Ex 3 is a fucking prequel. BECAUSE IF IT IS I WILL BE FUCKING PISSED. Prequels can go to Hell.

EDIT: Btw, where'd you get that image Tonnochi? There's too many images anyway in it lol. I don't believe they'll be making more than 6 (if a sixth) splash screen because of the WWI. Gotta fucking watch that.

[James]

Ice is a huge element of Blizzard games, Warcraft, Starcraft, Rock and Roll Racing, Lost Vikings and Diablo had very important ice areas.

The company is called Blizzard, thats the joke.

Also a Diablo Prequel will be a godsend, because of when the evils were much more of a burden.

[Mr. Tastix]

I suppose I don't mind prequels but some games I don't find worthy of them. Diablo III to be honest, may be good with one to find out why the hell Diablo got owned but Baal didn't as seen in the end cutscene (didn't know that, or didn't want to know? Guess what: I don't give a fuck).

Never played Starcraft but it don't look that bad a game, might try it one day if I ever get round to it or if I can ever be fucked paying for more video games I'll start, like 'em, then never get round to completing (seriously, I own a multitude of games and finished not half of 'em completely).

Lost Vikings I've never played but my cousin says it's an awesome game so I'll probably see what it's like if I feel like getting confused as fuck over a German version of the game (eh, I'll look for English one, duh).

[James]

Baal used the World Stone later in the expansion as his soul stone and to absorb its power, it was shattered by Tyrael. Leaving the world in ruin and without magic or power, making the world normal like our Earth. (didn't know that, or didn't want to know? Guess what: I don't give a fuck).

[Mr. Tastix]

Lol, trying to use my own sentence against me? How can you use "spoilers" against me when I obviously don't care if you told me? Seriously, is everyone here utter morons?

At least I ain't speculating on one game and just that one. I've read so many articles about this. People either believe it's a new Starcraft game coming out, or a new Diablo game coming out or a fucking Warcraft game coming out.

As far as I'm concerned you can all shut the fuck up about what game it may be because it could be all of the damn games. For all you know this could be a whole ruse to put you way off from the real project (seriously, where the hell does that penguin add in besides from what Survive has come up with).

Too many fanboies convincing themselves their favourite game is getting a makeover. I'd love a Diablo 3 game to come out sure, I'd rather it more than the other two (namely because I know the other two exist) but I ain't no Diablo fanboy. I haven't played the games over 300 fucking times, I haven't read every damn fictional novel or fanfic based off any of the games and nor will I ever.

I'm perfectly happy waiting the 24 hours for the WWI to roll by (regardless if I stream it or not) and find out what game IS coming out. Hell, I'd wait patiently even with no splash screens as anyone would.

Deus Ex 3 IS a Prequel.

There is no fucking way they can get away with a continuation of ANY of the endings of DX:IW.

[Dex]

The game is hinted at being a prequel to Deus Ex, which takes place in 2052, as a ballot box marked "Biopolitic 2027" subliminally appeared in the trailer (though this date has been blanked out in the high-definition version of the trailer). However, PC Gamer UK suggested that the reason for the removal of the 2027 date was because the game was not to take place in this year. When considering the images of an embryo (speculated as the embryo of the player), the magazine suggested that Deus Ex 3 would be set when this embryo had grown to an adult. This would still allow for the game to be a prequel.

Yea, especially with that Illuminati one where everything continues.

[James]

Sorry to say but the Illuminati conclusions in Deus Ex and Invisible War, conclude the story.

[Tonnochi]

Yea, especially when everything continues.

What if it was a simple flashback mission or something

[James]

No.
Not really.
Lets pretend nothing happened, turn a blind eye...

[Siva]

Yea, especially when everything continues.

NO.

NO.

World of Warcraft fans - read it and weep motherfuckers.

[Tonnochi]

Does anyone have the last splash before the opening?

[Mr. Tastix]

http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/splash.swf - this is the Diablo III flash. And all the previous splash screens can be seen here.

[Tonnochi]

....kind of a big jump.

[James]

Its called trolling, the last splash was almost sure to be Arthas.

[Siva]

DIABLO FUCKING TRIPPLE

[Psycho]

One funny thing was, Blizzard had bought the Diablo 3 domain.
