Diablo 3

Can I get a WOO! from anyone? :smiley:

Yup game looks great. As usual Blizzard show they have some of the best artists in the industry.

Failed!
Theyā€™re ā€œEnglish(eu)ā€ localisation has the US mmddyyyy date format ::slight_smile:

ISO 8601 ftw!

Game looks like it might be good though - which, given the addictive nature of D2 is a very very bad sign!

Meh, theyā€™re gameplay video played through Adobe Flash Player causes FireFox to suck up almost half a gig of memory, causing the whole app. to grind to a halt.
By the time you reach the end of the video, itā€™s stuttering every half-second =(

And this is on a quad core machine with 2gb of ram!
I canā€™t imagine what itā€™s like a more run-of-the-mill machine!

What Firefox version are you running? The difference between 2 and 3 is noticeable imoā€¦ version 2 uses a lot more. Iā€™m running Firefox 3 and I have 2 gig of ram as well but it runs ok till the end here.

Pretty nifty! Iā€™m not sure I like the click-a-thon though.

I can! No video for meā€¦

for me neither :stuck_out_tongue:

Iā€™m on 2.0.0.14 atmā€¦if it aint broke,ā€¦ :wink:

Though I would have expected the flash plugin to be the culprit of the excessive memory consumption, it isnā€™t immediately obvious how upgrading to Firefox 3 would rectify such a problem?

Flash is probably the culprit here since the video is pretty high quality (for a flash video), you could use the firefox extension ā€˜DownloadHelperā€™ and just use it to download the video and watch it in a desktop media player.

That must be some nifty filter to detect me like that :wink:

tbh I had given up hope for a diablo 3, I hope it will be as good as the first two versions.

Ah good old diablo. The sshots look very nice. Though thought they wouldnā€™t get this out till wow was dieing since it would make a large number of there fans stop playing wow to play itā€¦

Yeah I was sort of expecting World of Diablo.

Haha yea.
Though the last one did have good online support. I wonder if this one would improve on thatā€¦

your making it sound as if the original diablo didnā€™t ???

tbh there wasnā€™t much difference between diablo 1 and 2 online experience wise accept for the latter the characters where actually stored at battle.net to combat cheating.

The graphics sure looked pretty but felt really dreamy, it seems a lot like WoW in many aspects to me, I hope that doesnā€™t have a negative affect overall.

I am running FireFox 3 and the video still took over a half gig of memory, but I have 4 gigs total so it didnā€™t stall. Itā€™s just that there are a lot of frames and detail in that video.

It froze my firefox too.

The videos are available here
Watch the 19 minute version.
