Blizzcon starts tomorrow and there’s a ton of news related to Diablo 3 and the other Blizzard games.
Starting with Diablo 3 – there will be a playable demo (as predicted here). If you’re lucky to have a ticket, you’ll be able to play as a Witch Doctor or Barbarian. A third class will also be revealed and it will be playable too (see quote below from Blizzcon brochure):
Among these brave champions stands the enigmatic witch doctor, a spiritual warrior from deep within the Torajan jungles. At BlizzCon 2008, the witch doctor is yours to command for the first tim ever. Stop by the Diablo area on the show floor for your chance to lead this fierce new hero into the catacombs beneath the Tristram Cathedral.
While you’re there, revisit the raw strength of the barbarian – a Diablo series classic – or try your hand at Sanctuary’s newest champion, who will be revealed at the event.
So we have two basic archetypes: fighter and mage. Place your bets on who’s the next class to be revealed? I vote someone with shield … and hammer. Hammerdin!
If you have $300 to spare, you might be interested in pre-ordering a giant figurine (statue?) of the Barbarian – one of the Diablo 3 characters.
The statue is not painted yet but I guess it will eventually be painted. For $300 – it better be an art masterpiece. The only way I’d consider buying it if it results in me getting a unique wow pet – something like a miniature barbarian doing Arnold improvisations will do the trick.
