Diablo III

I guess all of the rumor sites were right - there will be a Diablo III. Blizzard announced it in Paris yesterday. Good news, it will be released for Mac and Windows PC simultaneously. Bad news, there is no release date. From the looks of the Blizzard job board for Diablo III, I don't think we'll see this anytime soon. They are looking to hire level and 3D designers, which seems (to my eyes, at least), some of the hires one would make in the early to middle stages of game production.

The teaser graphics are pretty hot, though. I loved Diablo I, did not like Diablo II so much - more because the graphics never ran quite up to par on my (wait for it) G4 PowerMac. It's been that long. Hard to believe that Diablo II was the game for which my sister abandoned the Mac platform. I'm taking bets that the earliest we'll see the Gold Master of DIII will be January 2010.
