Has there been anything about their new MMO?

ZacD

Also I'm really excited for the new multiplayer unit.

New type of lurker+broodlord hybrid, zerg air caster with a grapel spell. Protoss finally gets a decent counter to mass muta, and that new orb unit looks interesting.

I got off more on the old Diablo cinematics with crows pecking out eyeballs, disgusting old men, and midgests. But i'm probably just being sentimental.

ZacD

Nipple piercings were a nice touch though, I'm hoping for more goth and gore. If D3 doesn't have dicks and tits I'll be disappointed.

Wait, what? When did Blizzard have nipple piercings? I must have missed something grand...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF F* IS GOING ON IN HERE :OOOOOOOOOOOO WEOOOOOHOO

Damn, I always thought an MMO with an emphasis on naval combat in a fantasy world would be awesome (pirates of darkwater anyone?). Interested to see how this goes if this is indeed true.

And John, dunno about peircings, but they certainly had nipples back in the day. The rigs weren't as advanced back then though, no bounce.


You just ninja edit your post skulls? Coulda sworn you just said something about a pirate MMO.

Blizzard seems to top what I always assume cant be topped with there phenomenal cinematic. Stunned how fantastic that was. The girls eyes/face sold it for me. Totally floored.

Jeff Parrott

I would have preordered it without that awesomeness. Amazing work. Art direction is top notch.

ScudzAlmighty

OMG would you just make a fucking movie already Blizzard!?!


jeebus.

Ged

fantastic quality but what is the story in that D3 cinematic? is she having a promonition/dreamlike experience where she meets this demon king dude? cause otherwise he would logically just squash her then and there and that would be the end of the story.

The main giant fat demon had them in the above Diablo 3 cinematic.

Gannon

I shit bricks, twice.

Nizza_waaarg

that d3 vid blew my mind : D

cinematics team over there are really kicking ass. Heard it's not coming out till next year which blows, got a massive urge to play this game (and d2 doesn't run on this comp for some raisin).

Zpanzer

Stunning cinematics!

I won't lie, my dream is to work at the blizzard cinematic team, but I've always wondered: How do you actually get in contact with them? I've tried to find some contact emails or anything like that, but it seems like Blizzard is doing a very good job at hiding them from any contact from the outside world

I guess it's something like they contact you if your skills are up the task.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-skQwvbuYU"]Blizzcon 2011 - Diablo 3 Making of Black Soulstone Cinematics - YouTube[/ame]

Embedded for the lazy.

Dan!

yes dude...pure gold.

slipsius

That making of panel is absolutely amazing.....

Sukotto

Sweet sweet nectar! Definitely going to watch the making of panel

Autocon

Watched the panel last night, fantastic! They go over a lot there art direction and technical aspects of it which was great. Was afraid it would just be some dumbed down version for the crowed.

leslievdb

yeah i love how in depth they went with the panel. And wtf on the breaking wall being animated by hand

uncle

The visuals are top notch, stories though... But somehow I liked narration in Dota trailer much more.

jmt

The D3 cinematic was amazing and the making of panel had some very interesting parts. The shader work was especially cool.
