'Pranay Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Awaken, Diablo III fans! As I have repeated diligently over the past few weeks, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime is to reveal details of the Diablo III Beta on Monday, May 9th at 1:30 pm Pacific Time (4:30 pm Eastern Time) during the Activision Blizzard First Quarter 2011 Financial Results conference call. On February 9th, during the Q4 2010 Results conference call, Mike Morhaime indicated details of Diablo III beta would surface at the next conference call, which takes place in less than 48-hours from now. “As for Diablo III, development continues to go well, and we’re very excited about the game. Our most recent public showcase for Diablo III was at the G-Star show in Korea, where demo stations attracted huge lines of players. I’m looking forward to sharing some more news about the game and our upcoming beta on the next call,” said Mike Morhaime on February 9th, 2011. “Finally, I wanted to remind everyone that we just announced our BlizzCon show for 2011, which will be taking place on October 21 and 22 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Our shows keep getting better and better every year, and we are looking forward to meeting with our players and sharing exciting news about Blizzard at the event.” Speculation on when Diablo III Beta might start has less than 48-hours lifespan. Mike Morhaime is likely to provide an approximate or official date for the launch of Diablo III Beta. Let’s flashback in time to the moment Mike Morhaime revealed an approximate timeframe for the launch of StarCraft II beta. It was during the Activision Blizzard Q4 2009 conference held on February 9, 2010. Mike Morhaime was true to his announcement and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Beta Testing began on February 17th — just 8 days after his speech. This was the statement provided by Mike Morhaime concerning the launch of StarCraft II Beta Testing: “I do have an exciting news regarding Starcraft II. We are slated to be in close beta testing later this month. The beta test will be conducted in a global scale, including thousands of testers in North America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. We expect a tremendous response from our players, and we are eager to begin this phase of development as we enter the final stretch before release.” With bits of past examples echoing through time, one might speculate that Diablo III Beta Testing might begin very soon. Can Diablo III fans expect beta in late May? On June? Find out this coming Monday at 1:30pm PDT / 4:30pm EST. http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comm...n-monday-may-9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obil Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 So Battle.net also coming on PS3? And also the PC elitist are having a meltdown It won't be long before Blizzard start developing games with multiple platforms in mind. In these days of astronomical game development figures it would be too stupid not to. I bet their next MMO "Titan" will be also released on next gen consoles.

Aftrunner Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 It can work. And you have to remember this is Blizzard. They dont know how to do half assed. Of course the downside to that is you might have a teeny tiny wait infront of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
