Blizzcon 08: Hands On - Diablo III

[John Funk]

Probably, yeah.

Eh, if nothing else it'll be at WWI and next year's Blizzcon.

Ok this shows I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to gaming conventions but what does WWI stand for? I'm going to assume it is not world war 1 which is what I think when I see that in a non gaming context.

Same here. I thought at first he was talking about World War One and thought, he must mean that's what it'll be if there is no new stuff cuz of people getting pissed off. Then I realized, that would be WWIII or World War 3 of course, so that can't be it.

W W I - World Wide Invitational

It's the "other" Blizzard convention, last year it was in Korea where they announced Star Craft 2 and this year it was in Paris when the announced Diablo 3.

What made Warcraft 3 a hit for many people was the custom maps and game modes people made. They were so much fun and kept me playing the game for ages. If only Blizzard (and other companies) could implement the system into other games. While Starcraft 2 will have it, it won't have heroes which could be scripted to provide a much broader experience.

They say you will have have all the assets that were used by them when making the game included in the map editor. You make of it what you will.

I would love to make a level, and maybe even monsters to play and fight in D 3, that would be cool, if done right.

Mmmmm customizable D3 maps.

That'd be beautiful.
