BlizzCon recap

SpoonCraft makes nice recap of Diablo III coverage on BlizzCon.

I got the distinct chance to play Diablo 3 while at Blizzcon and I was pretty taken aback. Last year in 2008 when I played Diablo 3 it was a really gritty and unpolished game, it looked like crap in all honesty and felt like crap. It was pretty much the exact tired gameplay experience that we’ve been playing for so many years with Diablo 2. Blizzard has done A LOT of work since then.

Another Diablo 3 review here:


BlizzCon 2009: Hands On With Diablo 3

The game is still simple as hell to play, you can get pretty far just left or right click spamming your attacks on things. Our demo was set up with a close range melee attack on the left click, and a long range/AE attack on the right. Buffs and other spells/moves were hotkeyed to 1,2 and 3.

Diablo 3 hads-on demo previews from BlizCon

Two websites managed to get their hands on Diablo 3 demo during BlizCon and published their first impressions:


1UP.com: Diablo III Demo Preview

It's been a long time coming, but finally, here on the show floor at Gamescom, I got my first chance to play Diablo 3. I'll cut straight to it: It was an almost religious experience. Within moments, all my hopes and expectations for a modern Diablo sequel were met. It's a fine line -- on the one hand, you want all the familiar pieces that made the prior two games so addictive. And on the other hand, there's the evolution of other action-RPG games in the intervening time since Diablo 2. 

Kotaku: Diablo III Demo Preview

We just played Diablo III. For fifteen painfully brief minutes, our lady Barbarian tore through hordes of Fallen, clicking them back to the Hell they came from. It was good.

First demo of Diablo 3 shown at BlizzCon

According gameplanet, First demo of Diablo3 was shown during the BlizzCon. Unfortunately the game was announced for post 2010. So we all wait.
