BlizzCon 2008: Diablo III Wizard cinematic and new screenshots

by Kevin Kelly { Oct 10th 2008 at 8:00PM }

Here's the piping-hot new cinematic video for the Wizard class in Diablo III, straight from BlizzCon. This leads us to suspect that each class will get its own cinematic, possibly as they approach the Sanctuary instance near the beginning of the game. There are several Wizard-specific CGI moments and gameplay shots in a sort of "coming up this season on Diablo III" format.

Below you can check out the new gallery of screenshots from Diablo III, featuring new shots of the Wizard, Barbarian, and Witch Doctor. Enjoy the goodies, and keep checking back for more info.

expected slightly more from the graphics but still looks amazing none the less. heres hoping it doesnt turn into a triology/butchered game.

Well Blizzard's strategy, much like Valve's, is not to make a game that looks ace on the top 3% of gaming PCs but like shit on everyone else's (cough, Crytek).

That, and not treating your fans like crap, is how you make extreme profits on the PC.

Everyone who wants to complain about how it's too colourful, just reply here. It makes me feel special and popular.

It's not too colorful.

I honestly wasn't excited for this game- now I'm starting to be. The "slow time" bubble-shield looks freaking amazing.

Are we sure that's a pre-rendered scene? It almost looks in engine, which would explain how they'll do character specific cut scenes.

Maybe they're ditching their absolutely gorgeous pre-rendered stuff for in game scenes that can contain your specific character, complete with all your armor and weapons and etc.

I think I may have found the class I'm gonna be playing.

MASSIVE SUPER AWESOME MAGIC POWAH!!

... and then I'll get one shot by a demon.

they have to stop with these horrible (and i do mean horrible) in-game cut scenes. this isn't 1997. the in-game demo's, though, are awesome.

Most of that trailer did not look good, I kept expecting it to be a joke from some older game.

The textures were really low quality, her face looked weirdly static, the animations were choppy, and the models jagged. Looked like Warcraft 3 or something.
