In the age of the internet where most, if not everyone especially young adults, spend considerable amount of time browsing the web and using its services, online gaming has been one segment of the web that has been booming and has been supporting the growth of the online community. Since 2000, I haven’t played any single or multi-player role playing game since Diablo II: Lord of Destruction spare a futile attempt of Titan Quest to live up to the expectations of Diablo’s gameplay and interface.

Diablo, along with its sister StarCraft and its largely acclaimed online gaming gateway Battle.net, paved the way for the success of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. as a developer and publisher of games. It is by this reason why this year of 2008, Blizzard has been pressured by loyal highly anticipating fans for the much awaited sequels for these two ground breaking and high selling computer games. Very fortunate are those who were able to attend the rather impromptu press release of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. last 1st of April 2008 at their new HQ at Irvine California where the team provided a 10 second cinematic trailer of Diablo 3 only to leave those spectators craving for more.

What is left for those who weren’t able to experience the trailer teaser? Well at least Blizzard and Diablo team are able to stimulate our imagination with several daily splash images which, when looked at carefully, resembled runes that came from Blizzard’s top computer games but which also ultimately leading us to concluded that it is the much awaited Diablo sequel with an evil stare.

The development team revealed tiny parts of the game like who’s gonna be the adversaries, new maps or worlds if any, and new characters. So far, without spoiling the game’s launch, Diablo and his brothers Baal and Mephisto will sure be at Diablo 3. Players will be choosing from a newly and uniquely designed eight (8) character format to choose from which will be having their corresponding unique set of skills plus certain skills shared across the characters. The game will still take place at various points within the worlds of Hell and the Heavens with its Sanctuary though the developers mentioned that it will be on a much wider perspective in terms of space for there will be portions of these worlds that will be revealed which had not been present from the previous game versions.

However, the most noticeable enhancement on the gameplay that we should all look at is its multiplayer and online gaming interface. Blizzard wants these aspects to utilized to its full extent the technological advantages of Battle.net and Direct X 10.1 when it comes to online and multiplayer gaming without compromising the hero-centric approach advocated by the same game since the Diablo debut.

At the moment, these are the few details shared by the development team at Blizzard HQ. System requirements for Diablo 3 is not yet revealed though the team aims to have the game compatible across multiple OS like Windows and Mac. Many believe that we are just days away before this highly awaited game kicks off so we sure need to stay put for game details at the game’s official website http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/.
