A 2011 release for Diablo III all but official |

While StarCraft II and the Cataclysm expansion for World of Warcraft are sure deals, a 2010 release for Diablo III was recently set in doubt, only to be now all but officially confirmed by VP of game design, Rob Pardo. “I think it’s safe to say that, yeah, [Diablo III] is not going to be out next year,” he told Techland.
“We always announce all of our games too early. We realize that and go, ‘You know what? Next time we’re not going to do that.’ And then we always fail at that. But I’d rather fail at that than fail at making the game great.”
Sad news, but those holding out any hope of playing the game next year should probably consider giving up right about now.

I’m okay with this if they release it between, say, Jan-Mar 2011. But if we have to wait until Holiday 2011, then that’s just nonsense.

Hey guys, give blizzard a chance, its not like they’re doing a shit job at making these games!! Look at how world widely WoW has become not to mention some previous titles of diablo2 and starcraft, practically every gamer in the world knows these three names! Diablo 3 was planned in 2004 and is on its final stages on becoming an actual playable game, we all waited from 2007 when it was announced, so don’t you think you can wait a few more years?

*laughing*
don’t be surprised if it’s StarCraft 2 that’s released in 2011.

This is unacceptable. The game is about 80% done (confirmed by a person I know in blizzard).
All that is left is polishing this thing and some cutscenes and bug testing.
This does not take a year. Way to go Blizavision…..”This is why you FAIL”…..

Well, disgrunt, 80 percent complete means different things for different companies. Starcraft 2 is “essentially finished”, yet every month we hear about things they’re changing up, single and multi alike, and they’re obviously not satisfied yet. They will most likely still be unsatisfied after the beta is done with, but the guys working on these kinda games are perfectionists. As long as they actually get a proper release and don’t go the way of Duke Nukem Forever…I’m good.
