It’s also been over a decade since the last Diablo game came out. Do you think games have changed a lot since then? How are you adapting Diablo III to suit this?

Jay: I think games have changed and gamers have changed, but not to the degree and in the way people think. A game like Doom would not cut it today. But I still like pointing a reticule at monsters, pushing the trigger, hearing the shotgun go off, and seeing the monsters go flying. The core of what makes a game fun doesn’t go away. It comes down to other elements: polish, reward, progression, expansion with RPG elements—really tapping into core fantasies that people have, what they want to do. A lot of the early first person shooters were awesomely fun games, but I don’t think it was a core fantasy of many players to be a medieval knight fighting aliens in stone castles with rocket launchers! It was just so discordant. We want a world that’s consistent, that has context. But we still want to shoot things in the face with rocket launchers.

Christian: A lot of the challenge was making sure we build on the legacy of Diablo II.

Jay: Yeah, one of the lessons that we learned in development was people’s memories of Diablo II were way different than the reality of Diablo II. They remember all kinds of stuff that never actually happened in that game.

Like what?

Jay: Well when you ask them about game challenge, they remember what it was like in hell difficulty. They don’t remember what it was like in normal difficulty. They remember something that visually darker than it ever was. They remember a variety and depth of monsters that was never there.

Christian: You are competing with people’s memories. And each person’s individual recollections, where they were ten years ago when they played it, that’s tough!

Jay: It’s one of those things where if you love a game, then the things that are bad about it become endearing. Everybody remembers Deckard Cain saying, “Stay a while, listen.” But the reason they remember it fondly now is because it was so damn annoying! He said it every time, and you had to talk to him so often!

dostalem kluczyk, wprowadzilem i jest ok

pytanie co z bonusami, ktore niby mielismy dostac z keye/goarena?

Dla mnie fabuła w Diablo 3 ma ogromne znaczenie. Mimo, że lore nie jest zbyt głębokie i rozwinięte, to lokacje i bossów z D1 i D2 do tej pory znam na pamięć. Na tym właśnie polega cała magia serii Diablo.
