Blizzcon 2011 Gameplay Movie

Posted 21 October 2011 by Flux

Blizzard has released some new gameplay footage and it’s pretty nice. The video is only 3:23 in length, but it shows off solo play sessions for all five classes, from a variety of areas. There are numerous skills and runestone effects in evidence as well, and I must admit to LOLing at the appearance of the DiabloWikiToad of Hugeness. Dig in.

I took a few screens of some of the new stuff. See unknown giant spider demons, some sort of Cultist-summoned black hole in the desert, the Witch Doctor’s epic Toad of Hugeness, his Gargantuan pet, and a Demon Hunter in a hellish location. The full gallery is here, and we’ll add more to it when the full HQ version of this movie becomes available.

  • Those are some BIG spiders…

  • btw why do they put things like the gargantuan into the beta? even if we werent able to data mine it! why is it in there?

  • This needed to be much longer. About 50 hours longer. And interactive.

    • I agree about the interactive part, but I´m guessing you meant 500 hours longer, because, after waiting for this game for ten years, the final version better be that long (or longer).

  • That’s pretty nice, I hope there’s more.

  • Where is the Demon Hunter at 2:12?  A screenshot of that location represented ‘Inferno’ difficulty level at the event in Germany earlier this Fall.  Is it Arreat Crater?  River of Flame?

    • Inferno is not an act an area or a location. There is not artwork specific to Inferno. Inferno is a difficulty setting where you go through all the same acts and areas that you did in previous difficulties.

      I don’t think the name of that “hellish” looking area has been officially revealed. It may or may not be Act IV.

      • I didn’t mean to imply that it depicted a difficulty level, only that Blizzard had used screenshots to represent levels during their presentation.  [Spoiler] I didn’t think the Burning Hells would be in ‘vanilla’ D3, before an Xpack.

  • Great to see some new footage. The witch doctor looks so cool, especially those giant frogs :0

    Is it me or does absolutely no real killing occurs? Why do they always have horrible players doing those gameplay demonstrations?

  • Finally! This is the first official video that doesn’t feature ridiculously weak enemies. We get a much better feel for the skills this way. The scenes were really short though.

  • cant the characters kill anything? they look so weak in this demonstration.

  • Characters seemed weak so are probably low level, game is looking good, would like a bit more detail in levels, but I guess that’s to keep the system requirements down.

    I am buying a new PC for this, last PC game I played was Diablo 2, only series I care about on PC. One of my top 3 franchises along with Final Fantasy and Zelda.

  • Was it just me? Or does the Gargantuan not only look smaller, but also walk like it is … well, “special”?

  • Just look at the frost nova of Wizard and fire bomb of WD. They look terrible and undetailed or too fast. Fire skull of Wd: As if there is a magnet on the floor, terrible… They were much much better before why did Blizzard change them? Any idea?

  • Hope this isn’t all. Was expecting a long video like we usually get.

  • What’s that trap the DH drops at 2:15?? Doesn’t slow so it isn’t Caltrops…

  • Love the WD’s Dire Bats.
