If you aren't aware, blizzard has changed their homepage http://www.blizzard.com to include a bigger chill factor. What could this new homepage show? If you want my 2 cents, DIABLO 3!
The runes on the sides of the picture look like old Diablo runes. Check out it and tell me what you think.

Since it's coated in Ice, my guess would simply be it has something to do with World of Warcraft's Northrend expansion coming up. But, that might just be me.

If it's Diablo 3, I expect a lot of pissed off people.

It's a picture with a bunch of ice. Prolly for Wrath of the Lich King because it's, you know, about going to a land filled with such wonderful things.

As far as it goes for "next-gen" MMO... They said themselves they were upgrading the engine for those with rigs that can handle more than wow right now... optional of course... so that must be it.

I dont think they would make diablo into an MMO ,though that would be sweet if it was a hardcore MMO not another playskool my first MMO - also it would need blood, lots of blood.

but my guess would be world of starcraft, its a rumor thats been floating around since before WoW even launched, now with the release of starcraft 2 no better time to capatalize.

:zombie:

I believe you are talking about Starcraft: Ghost, the mmo about starcraft. That got canned after it started sucking. And if diablo was an MMO, it would frickin rock my world. But I always regarded it pretty much an MMO online. Maybe it didn't quite fit the bill, but didn't stop me from pouring hours and hours into my 99 pally. And then...he expired...Noooooooooo!

Starcraft: Ghost wasn't an MMO at all. It was Metal Gear Solid in a Starcraft universe with optional online 3rd person combat where you could play as a multitude of popular Starcraft units. It was scrapped because people were moving on to the 360 and the game was 'old technology' unfortunately they were unaware that people would STILL be making and buying PS2 games in 2008.

Also it wasn't very good. At least thats what I heard. My friend got to beta it and said it was terrible. Although you have a valid reason too, but I don't think I want to play a Blizzard game on a console. So good riddance. (And sorry about the Starcraft mix up. Always thought Ghost was WoW with SC)

Everything I saw about Starcraft: Ghost was awesome. But if you friend did manage to get his hands on it, that's unfortunate. All the previews/hype from game companies said the game looked and felt awesome, etc. Yet Blizzard was like "Nope, not up to our standards, and new consoles are coming, so... it's on indefinite hold." I followed the progress of this game for a very long time.

Honestly, Blizzard is awesome at console games. In fact, they STARTED as a console game manufacturer. Rock N' Roll Racing and Lost Vikings anyone?

Dood, Lost Viking was the greatest. You remember the Justice League Task Force game they developed too XD . Ive never played Rock N' Roll Racing though, but I have heard about it before. Probably will check it out.

I'm fuckin' stoked! It seems like it could truly be an awesome game. But then again, how can you go wrong with Diablo, one of, if not THE, best hack and slash RPG ever?

This is totally awesome. I can't wait for this. At least blizzard is refusing to let PC gaming die off.
