More Diablo evidence

I don't know if anyone really doubts we'll see Diablo in Diablo 3, but in any event, check out the skull the Barbarian is standing on in his statue prototype. I can't make out the 3 faces some see in the cinematic shot, but it certainly looks like the new diablo to me.

Re: More Diablo evidence

I think it was three mouths, rather than faces. And even then, I think it's just more of a fun idea, and a way to bring back Big D in a new and interesting way.

But it's definitely the guy from the cinematic trailer, which is presumably our favourite boss.

Re: More Diablo evidence

Somehow that skull reminds me of mephisto actually. Maybe I'm just tired though.

ya its obviously the same head as the demon in the cenimatic, if its diablo or not im not 100% sure (honostly i think it is though, the biggest hint is A. its a closeup of him like hes important, and 2. in the cinimatic u see a X on his forehead where a soulstone would have pierced)

as for the "3 heads" if you watch the cenematic, look at his "Shouldes" when ti shows him, he has a second and third mouth, one on each one (they open and roar with his main mouth)

No, I agree, the severed head reminds me alot of Mephisto too. His physical manifestation in Sankekur had those huge, (characteristic) elongated horns as well.

Re: More Diablo evidence

Except that roaring like in the video doesn't really fit Mephisto.
Mephisto is a bit more in control of himself. Roaring like that would fit the bestial Diablo much more.

Re: More Diablo evidence

didnt d1 and d2 both have a video of diablo roaring before the game released? i know in d1 if the first vid you see ends with diablo roaring, i am not 100% sure if d2 had the same kind of vid or not, i believe so though. it would make sense that they did the same thing with diablo 3. plus lets face it, d3 without diablo would be pretty lame, i could maybe understand saving him for a xpac but he has to be in there some where.

The skull kind of reminds me of Mephisto too. If Mephi does make an appearence in DIII I hope he is stronger than he was in DII because I felt he was a bit of a cakewalk tbh

Re: More Diablo evidence

Do a image.google search. His horns are way, way bigger then that. But who knows... the art style change may have changed.
