Diablo III – “You Will Die! We Promise!”


Diablo 3 - You Have Died

If you were one of the lucky 100,000 players invited to participate in the Diablo 3 beta release, and you’ve played a little Hardcore, you’ve probably experienced the veritable ass-kicking complete with hours of wiping and mounting repair costs.

If you haven’t played in Nightmare mode or above yet, you’ll be happy to know that Blizzard hopes to re-earn your love, not with art, but with gameplay. In fact, it will be so challenging on the “Inferno” difficulty mode, that some bosses will take about an hour to defeat, even with multiple players bashing in their skulls at the same time.

At BlizzCon 2011, the Diablo III Gameplay panel included this video from 3D Artist Kevin K. Griffith, Environment Artist Nate Bowden, Senior Artist Nick Eberle, and 3D Artist Richie Marella. In the video, they try to answer the question: “How hard is this game going to be in Nightmare difficulty (and above)?”
