I forbindelse med det for nyligt overståede presse-event hos Blizzard i Irvine, fik de besøgende fansites lov til at se intro cinematic til Diablo 3.

Bashiok har i dag omtalt netop denne cinematic - og det lyder spændende.

Those who visited for the recent press tour saw the first minute or so of the intro cinematic, which is done in a stylized 'sketch' look. The idea being it's Cain relating his prophecy via his journal, so it's sort of his journal come alive, if you will. It's also a lot cooler than it may sound (and on that note the voice/music/sfx were temp in the version we showed).

The 10 intro class cinematics (one for each class and gender) take the same style, but beyond that everything is high detail, high realism, holy-crap cinematics we've all come to love. And there's a lot of it. And they are so bad ass. You'll be happy.

Like I said, they (fansiderne red.) only saw the first minute or so of the entire intro cinematic which was the stylized bit with Cain reciting some of his journal. You start up the game, see the intro for the first time, log in, create a character, see the character intro, then start playing. It's a logical flow.

I always skipped Diablo II's cinematics cause i was onlineand didnt want to miss the next acts rush or hold up the players. Is there a way to replay them later?

Indeed! But, they're pretty info-heavy*, I wouldn't recommend skipping them. Personally I'm going to play the game alone for the first run through Normal, you can take your time, watch cinematics, and you get the extra story from having a follower.

*Info-heavy meaning huge spoilers, meaning I would avoid youtube/forums/the world during your first playthrough (once the game is released) if you want to avoid such things.

Will the intro cinematic be included in the beta?

Good question. I'll find out.

[edit] No cinematics will be present in the beta.

Det lyder til, at der virkelig er gjort meget ud af det historiemæssige aspekt og vi vil blive taget med fra starten i form af notater fra Cain's journal.

Jeg har lige tilføjet til første indlæg, at der ikke vil være cinematics i betaen Så det er i hvert fald ikke dét, du skal se frem til dér.

Kan vi godt blive enige om

Glæder mig som et bette barn. Har besluttet mig for at tage mindst en uges ferie når det er released. MINDST!

Jeg går og overvejer præcist det samme! Det kunne være awesome at holde et d3x lan i forbindelse med diablo 3 et lille stykke tid efter det udkommer. Jeg ved ikke hvorfor jeg kom til at tænke på lan party i denne sammenhæng.. men det ville være awesome..

Vi har snakket om et D3X-arrangement et par gange og jeg fornemmer faktisk, der er pæn opbakning til det Ville være meget nice.

hvis jeg kunne holde ferie så ville jeg 

@angstskrig - you know what i mean lag-party klinger bare bedre..

Lag-party! Så skal der lagges!

Det kunne være rimelig nice med lan, hvis tiden er der til det. Jeg regner ikke med at tage fri
