I know it was initially due for this quarter of 2009
What? They never announced a date for Diablo 3 IIRC, only vague "when it's done". Also it will probably be released in 2011.
well bear in mind this was the rumour I heard way back not long after the game was officially announced, that the game press seemed to pick up on. Not much info really back in those days either as to when it will be released..
3D realms should have patented that catchphrase "when it's done"...

if anything hoping sometime in 2010 they have a public or closed beta, don't see why not Smile
Hoping thats the case too. From what I saw of the screenshots though I had the impression that it was nearly due. Does it really take a year for balancing and tweaking or is my jaded mind just thinking thatsdev/marketing talk for "we are busy converting this game to the consoles for a simutaneous release".
Either way the wait continues.

Heh, I am no blizzard fanboy, but blizzard always takes their time to release a finished package. They are also not really fond of the console genre, so I dont think that the console factor plays much of a role. (Does D3 even have a console release O.o?)
when blizzard show their games they always look as if they're finished and should be out within a month. it's just a facade.
it might look like it's complete and there's just balancing and shit left but d3 is far from finished.
over time you'll see that what they showed is only a small part of the game, and what they showed will most likely look very different when you actually see it in the final product.
it's always like that with their games. warcraft 3 was the same. it looked finished a year or two before it came out, but in the end it was far from done and models&textures were changed, abilities were changed, mechanics were changed, etc etc. it all looked very different in the end.
while what other developers show you of their games that will come in a year or two actually looks buggy and unfinished, blizzard is very careful with what they show and it's all part of their marketing, and it works. just don't let them fool you into thinking that it's as far in development as it looks to be from screens and videos.
Likot Mosuskekim, Woodcutter cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Elephant.
The monk class page has been updated with all-new art and the in-game model of the female monk. The monk class was announced at BlizzCon, but only the male version was shown at the time. The female option is now revealed on the monk class page.
And the others charcter will fallow with male and female.

FANFUCKINGTASTIC!!
God, it's about fucking time a developer did that! I am getting so sick of being locked to a specific gender when playing classes ... almost every other ARPG has shit like male-only Sorcerers, or female-only Rogue/Assassin's, and it's bloody infuriating.

Will D3 have a Necromancer class ? I wanna resurrect stuff !
A female necromancer should be cool !!
Yes, but it's not called a necromancer - it's a Witch Doctor in D3. Same thing really, loads of blood magic spells and the ability to resurrect the dead with which to fight for you.

wasn0t it more : Curses, poison and then resurrect/whatever ? Exactly like the necromancer ?
I'm definitely looking forward to this (which is a first; looking forward to a Blizzard game? ME? HAH!) it looks like it's going to be a shitload of fun. Just a shame we won't be seeing it this side of 2012.
Diablo III will be released H2 2011 at the earliest, probably some time in 2012. My guess is that they reached a point where they realised it didn't hold up to their vision and decided to rework the whole thing, setting them back at least a year or two of development. Pity.. :/
well you have to admit, the gfx engine looks absolutly rubish, torchlight looked better and has been out for a few months now ...
Uhh... no. Just No.
The graphics look CONSIDERABLY better than Torchlight (I play Torchlight religiously whilst waiting for Grim Dawn or Diablo 3) Torchlight looks almost identical to FATE, it just has better light-sourcing. Of course, if VGA would just release his goddamn texture mod, then everything would be peachy! <3

Holy shit, you're older than me.. haha. I'm 29 in May.
yeah well then put an even older titan quest or dungeon siege 2 next to it with AA8 and AF16 on, i seriously am sick and tired of rpgs looking like crap. Dragon age set a standard and i expect diablo to surpass it. It set the benchmark back in the day and it should do so again.
And, again, no... neither TQ nor DS2 have better graphics than D3 (at least from what we've seen) Though admittedly TQ has aged gracefully and does still look great.
Titan Quest looks even better than torchlight ... and thats only a 1024x768 screen...
i reinstalled it yesterday, gonna take some screens later for comparison (just with naked eye it looks a LOT better with a LOT more detail (than torchlight).

Of course it does! TQ still looks amazing, no doubt about that, whereas Torchlight *is* FATE with better lighting. It's never going to hold up to the likes of TQ/NWN2/DAO/D3.
