Can't wait. Have the 1000k stream up and ready.

I'd reccomend the low bitrate one. I was doing the same thing when they unveiled the zerg in march and the servers were all clogged even though it was like 4am. There's a good chance you're going to struggle to keep your connection.

5 seconds in and I lost my connection. :(

Server has reached max capacity.

12:18 -- Footage of large scale battles, comets streaking across the sky, demons, Diablo 3 officially announced.
Project-K
Blizzard.com now updated with diablo 3 splash screen and intro.

12:20 -- It's apparently still an action RPG. Same interface -- red health and blue orbs. Skill bar at bottom. 3/4 overhead perspective. Character with 2 axes hacking at demons in what appears to be a foggy cathedral. Has a jumping attack where he smashes the two axes into the ground.

And thus, the world sighs in relief.

Just got a brief 30 secs of stream here.

Gameplay looks similar, but much slower. Graphics are slightly more cartoony and WoWish (and 3d of course), but you can bet there'll be plenty of complaining from the community and subsequent fixing (like there was with SC2). The environment looks more interactive. Gameplay showed a brief use of a ladder and several levels of elevation. Looks pretty cool so far.

Oh sweet jebus if they slowed things down, this'll be a disaster.

They followed the Melee -> Brawl track.
Project-K
Don't worry, if it's too slow for D2 fans I'm 100% sure they'll fix that before the beta even hits.


more info:

Barb is back

New class: Witch doctor (similar to necromancer, can summon locusts and walls of zombies?? :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: )

genders are no longer fixed and characters can be male or female regardless of class

Demo seems to be over. Now hopefully I can get a better connection and watch the rest of this. It'll probably end up on youtube within the hour.

I'm waiting for the HD version on either Blizzard's or Gametrailer's website later in the day. If I'm going to experience the beauty, I'm doing it hardcore.


GOTTA BUY A DESKTOP AGAIN!
