![]() ![]() You drop into a game and fly through an act. Players chase after powerful items and weapons to use against other enemies and players or for trade. The goal is to prevent the forces of hell from taking over the world by defeating Diablo, the lord of terror, and his cohorts. The Diablo games allow anywhere from two to eight players to jump into discrete games in randomly-generated dungeons. But that’s not really the heart of the Diablo ethos. ![]() Diablo 2, the game’s predecessor, had five acts altogether. The whole act takes around an hour and a half to complete, so if there are five acts, like in Diablo 2, the game will be somewhere between 7 and 8 hours long to complete a main quest. The game will consist of several of these acts, though Blizzard Entertainment hasn’t made it clear just how many there will be. The Diablo 3 beta includes the first “act” of the game, one of several large chunks of the game, that consists of part of the game’s main storyline. Diablo 3 has been in the works for some time, and expectations are high for a repeat performance by Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard Entertainment only released one expansion pack for the game, but it came to define a lot of tropes that now commonly appear in online games - such as reliance on loot-seeking behavior and frictionless communication between friends and players. The beta for Blizzard Entertainment’s next potential hit, Diablo 3, finally landed yesterday. We got a chance to blitz through the beta with each of the character classes and try out just about everything available, and it looks like Blizzard Entertainment has hit all the right buttons.ĭiablo 2, the last game in the series, was immensely popular when it came out more than a decade ago in 2000. We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of "Playing the Edge."
