Diablo III Anticipation

Posted 22nd Feb 2009 02:26 AM by Flux

Diablo III is the sixth most anticipated video games of 2009, according to some industry semi-insiders. Why only sixth? Date indecision.

Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 heads up the list of top 10 most anticipated games to be released this year, as the franchise that has spawned multiple games, novels and movies returns next month.

Sony’s Killzone 2 is the second most anticipated game of the year, ahead of its release exclusively on PlayStation 3 next month, a week before Capcom’s Street Fighter IV, the third most anticipated on the list.

Blizzard’s return to StarCraft II - a game that is due to open its beta shortly - was in fourth place, just peaking Quantic Dreams’ Heavy Rain.

Another Blizzard title, Diablo 3, made sixth on the list, although it may be wishful thinking as the developer has not confirmed any release date for the dungeon-crawling favourite.

I am desperately anticipating D3, which is odd, because I’m not really a gamer.  Never have I wanted a game this badly.

I’m too busy anticipating the SC2 beta to anticipate SC2… I don’t remember spending anything on ebay to play betas for any of the top 3 titles =/

And if I *WERE* to anticipate the nth sequel in some silly console franchise, it’d be for the Wii.  Not that I’m a huge fan of the Wii or anything, but I do appreciate the 4GB ISO size and the cost of blank DVDs… ~_~

I just watched the artwork trailer for Diablo 3 again… oh boy, if they put those environments in the game it’s gonna be incredible. I will probably not play any game until Diablo 3 arrives, only possibly try StarCraft 2. Unless Duke Nukem Forever suddenly appears this year…
