Diablo iii gameplay

Diablo III Demo Contents

The Diablo III demos at Blizzcon 2008, 2009, and 2010 were specially-prepared for the event. Characters were pre-made, all set to a level that matched the content in the demo, equipped with reasonable gear, and with all of their skill points already assigned. The point in a demo is for fans to jump right in and start playing, and the developers don't want fans playing a brand new character without any skills or equipment, or spending their whole demo time looking over the skills and trying to decide how to spend their points.

Game features are included or excluded from demos depending on what the development team wants to show off at that point. For instance, Runestones were in the 2008 demo, but they were only enabled for Wizard skills. Runestones were not included in the 2009 demo at all since they were under heavy remodeling, but they were a major feature in the 2010 demo, though only for the Wizard, Witch Doctor, and Barbarian.

The game areas, quests, NPCs, and other features have also been custom tailored in the Diablo III demos. This was not the case with Diablo II; the playable demos they showed off at E3 in 1998, 1999, and 2000 were basically entire acts, with all the characters, skills, NPCs, quests, etc. The D3 Team has been much more conservative in showingg off the game, and all three demos so far have been small, self-contained areas of the game, with very little of the story or NPCs in place. No demos to date have shown off a town area, and only the 2008 demo has had an NPC (Captain Rumford) to speak with about more than the more generic quest details.
Features:
Multiplayer gaming with Blizzard's Battle.net service (players will be able to drop in and out of co-operative play)
Enhanced quest system with random level and encounters generator to offer different replay experiences.
Diablo III will be the first game in the series to use 3D rendering, but will still have an isometric, overhead view.
Interactive with environments: lay traps, use destructible objects against your foes, and use environmental obstacles to your advantage - all powered by the Havoc physics system.
New available classes and re-imagined old ones: Witch Doctor, Barbarian (more will be available as Blizzard releases more info)

Diablo 3 info and news
After 8 years of waiting, Blizzard has finally announced the next highly anticipated installment in the Diablo series. Blizzard has not released a playable Diablo 3 demo as of yet since the game is currently still in development. However, Blizzard has stated that the game engine and mechanics are complete, all that is left is to add additional content and tweaking and balancing. Blizzard has not ruled out that a Diablo beta may be available over Battle.net

A "demo" generally refers to a playable piece of a game. Many game developers release a demo, comprised of some early section of their game, for promotional purposes before or shortly after the release of the full game.

"Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn."

"When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself."
There are often rumors about leaked or stolen demos of games. These are almost always lies; ways to trick eager fans into downloading viruses and trojans, and Diablo III has been the source of several such rumors already.

Diablo 3 beta

The Diablo 3 release date is expected sometime in 2012. The Diablo 3 beta will last a couple of months.
Expect the exact Diablo 3 Beta release date to be announced soon. It will be sometime in September of 2011.

Castaway Entertainment
A video overview of the Blacksmith artisan in the Diablo 3 beta.
The self-proclaimed designer of Diablo II's Battle.net functionality, Michael Scandizzo, formed Castaway Entertainment with level designer Stefan Scandizzo and others. Castaway partnered with Electronic Arts in 2004 to work on an unannounced project, but since then has never revealed a game. As we later discuss, the studio has all but shut in response to financial troubles.
Stefan Scandizzo's short biography on Castaway Entertainment's web site indicates work on a 3D game following the release of Diablo II.

In 2000, Stefan started producing 3D monsters for the character team for an unannounced upcoming sequel.
Diablo II was, of course, a 2D isometric game but it had "3D" elements. This could have been for the Diablo II:Lord of Destruction expansion set but was likely for the Blizzard North team's next game. This cannot be confirmed.
Meanwhile, the company chose a striking name. Could this speak to the programmers' feelings toward Blizzard leading up to or following their departure?
