Blizzard's games may not be know to push the boundary of technology, but they've already stated that it would be playable on "today's" current mainstream hardware. 1.4GHz isn't even yesterday's hardware, it's ancient.

Starcraft II will come out well before Diablo 3. It's far more along, and known development has been around for much longer.

SCII 2009, D3 2010.

[citation][nom]dPo3[/nom]Those system requirements look seriously low, i dont think its possible a game released in 2009 can work on a system from the 20th century.[/citation]

Just take a look at the D3 screenshots and videos. Old outdated 3D technology coupled with lazy ass texture job, pastel colors. I mean...even D2 had better 'textures'. It's just that now it's real 3d and the resolution is higher. Welcome to World of Diablo.

[citation][nom]pirateboy[/nom]Eyecandy has nothing to do with how much fun a game is.90% of the games that come out nowadays suck gameplaywise, look pretty and are not worth their money.But oh well, I guess it's easy to please the console gaming crowd who have no idea what gaming used to be all about.Diablo3 is prolly gonna rule and will most likely be worth buying.[/citation]

Unfortunatly it's not just from a technology standpoint, the artstyle shifted towards what they seems to do best, toonish 3d art. They probably thought, 'hey, we made so much money from millions of people around the world with that crappy WoW game, toonish style seems to hypnotize the mass into buying into our products, let's just do it with Diablo too, fuck the hardcore old-school Diablo fans, let's please the Blizz Fanboys, our fanboys'.

BloodyIron, that is a complete guess and you know it. So what if we have known about it longer? lol

Ever heard of Starcraft Ghost? They will release a game when THEY think it is ready. The longer something has been in development/announced has nothing to do with it when it comes to Blizzard. I for one love that about them. If I have to wait till 2012, so be it. I HOPE I don't!! But it is comforting to know what when it is released, it will be awesome.
