I just got a bit more needy for the most anticipated game of 2012. Anybody else looking forwards to it? Let's show Deckard Cain some love.

Am I the only one that felt this was a bit underwhelming? Besides the animated segment, it's just two people talking when a meteorite crashes through the building killing the old man that we barely know anything about. It's not exactly getting my hyped up for Diablo III but it's still a nice trailer nonetheless.

EDIT: I've never played the Diablo games before so I viewed it as someone who's not a fan in the slightest. I didn't know the man was a character from the last two games, so my bad.

2000$ says you find him and he identifies items for you. I hope they don't pull a StarCraft 2 and just keep us waiting and waiting for a lack luster game with alot of content missing because their fat baby WoW is more important. Because I seriously love the Diablo series, but blizzard is pissing me off.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
Well, blizz still knows how to make a pretty cinematic, that's for sure, too bad it doesn't exactly interest me in the game at all, but then again, even if I wasn't pissed at blizz, I probably wouldn't get it since the always online thing annoys me.

Pretty.
Have been looking forward to this for a decade though, I don't believe it will ever be released until it's in my hard-drive. Almost as long a development time as DNF ;)

Barely know anything about? He's been in the two previous games, and would talk at length if you'd let him...

Ah, so that's it. I never played the Diablo games before, so not exactly something people like myself can understand. So sorry for the ignorance.

Ha :). I'm sure your brain is full of knowledge that's likely more useful.

They probably won't.

Extra Credits did an episode on Diablo 3's auction-house which suggested that putting time into Diablo 3 should be lucrative/worthwhile for them.

You dont know who Deckard Cain is?

Hes the Go to guy in the previous 2 games, you know the one that set the heros on their path to fight the Prime Evils.

I'd be excited, but until they get rid of the forced online (Which they won't) I will not be buying the game. I loved Diablo 2 and I enjoy the lore, but I will not be purchasing this game until we as consumers stop being treated like we're all pirates.

I've never played the Diablo games before, was never a big fan of those types of games and I'm still not. Again, sorry for not understanding who he was. Although I expected something a bit more epic from a Blizzard opening, to be honest.

It's too bad I won't be getting this game, it looks like it's going to be a good one.

Nice style to this trailer, sadly it gives very little information or plot synopsis. Cinematic trailers for games usually lend themselves best to a lot of action scenes of random dudes beating the snot out of each other. Same reason why the WoW vanilla and TBC cinematic trailers were much better received (and much more appropriate for commercial purposes) than the WoTLK and Cataclysm cinematics. They were less story driven and more a CGI rollercoaster ride.

This trailer has not piqued my interest in Diablo 3.

I thought it was really damn epic. Amazing artwork style with the CGI melding with drawn figures. Blizzard hasn't lost their touch at making the best cinematics!

I'm excited! Blizzard's cinematics always hype me up for their games. And I'm getting this one for free. :) Woohoo.

EDIT: After watching it, I think for an official trailer, it was kind of underwhelming. I kinda liked the Black Soulstone one better.

Im not sure its supposed to be Epic, Diablo has always been more about Despair than an Epic Slasfest.
