I played it at BlizzCon.
Even the clearly unfinished pre-alpha build was more fun and engaging than most full release games I've played recently.
So yeah. I'm pretty excited about it coming out sometime in 2015.
Edit: They've said multiple times that it won't require any subscription to play D3 online.
The audio journals that you can find actually go a really long way to contributing to the mood. There's one you find that talks about King Leoric and the events of D1, and it was actually pretty chilling to listen to as you adventured through the Tristram ruins.

I assure you, it was very, very dark when I playedSkeleon said:

And the fact they are absolutley nothing alike whatsoever, the only thing the two have in common is that they are both top down point and click nothing else Fallout was slow and intellegent based all around an original setting and clever solutions/humour. Diablo was nothing but atmosphere, and oh here is 20 enemies and a super overpowered lightning enchanced thing go slash now with no downtime to think.Gerazzi said:
A definite purchase for my part. No doubt about it.
I try not to get too excited, but it's oh so hard *twitch*

I can't find the link to this one particular MTV Multiplayer interview with the lead art director for Diablo 3. It had photoshopped "suggestions" (from the people who signed the Dark Petition, no less) for some of the screenshots of the demo, then said art director states every reason why the photoshop will not work in the actual game (reasons range from being impossible from a technical standpoint, to actually hindering gameplay). I did, however, find two articles that you might interest you: Link 1 [http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/07/31/diablo-iii-designer-talks-colors/] Link 2 [http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/07/02/diablo-iii-art-direction/].CantFaketheFunk said:I played it at BlizzCon.

1. As others have said, Fallout is not "Diablo with guns". The games are not even in the same genre...
2. Diablo 3 isn't too colorful. The rainbow controversy was a joke by one of the designers. Also, I distinctly remember a mostly green chapter in D2 (Jungle), as well as a mostly yellow/brown one (Desert). Bear in mind that this time around Blizz has access to more than 256 colors
3. As for the quality of the game itself, Blizz has a fairly good track record, but I'm a bit sceptical about their ability to put together a single player game. It's been quite long since they did an actual game instead of ejaculating WoW content. It's the same concern I have for Starcraft 2 as well...

Yeah, Diablo is not like Fallout. They are in isometric perspective. That's where a lot of similarities end. You're going to be disappointed if that's what you're going for.Vanguard_Ex said:
EDIT: Also
You are aware that Fallout 3 derives it's title from the fact that it is a sequel, right?epicfailgamer said:
I loved D1 when it came out.
I liked D2 a bit less, though I recognize it's still the most balanced point&click crawler out there.
Unless D3 innovates the gameplay and does something new with it, I won't be interested in D3, eventhough it will be polished and playable out of the box and prettier than 2, I want more than a gfx overhaul of the same old game.
I also want WASD keys added to the basic control scheme.

I never played a Diablo game before, but I want it. Like, a lot. Really a lot. I'll definatly get myself some kind of limited edition as well. When it comes out. Like...in 2020.
Are you kidding me?Gerazzi said:
You either haven't played Diablo, or haven't played Fallout. They are nothing alike, besides the player's perspective. And then Command and Conquer is 'Diablo with bases'.
Ugh.
More on topic, it looks good. If I ever get a gaming rig, I'll probably grab it.
I loved the first two.
