The previews don't work, not sure why, but it might be the GW stuff.  I'm going to take it out for a while later till I can examine it and possibly fix it.

On topic, I'm kind of meh about Diablo III.  Diablo II became too repetitive too quickly, and there are MMO that do similar things but a little better.  But that doesn't mean I can't be swayed.

Diablo II was cutting edge. For a long time, it was the measuring rod by which other games in the same genre were measured by. But with multiplayer games like guild wars, dungeon siege, and the like, the biggest flaw i see in the gameplay for diablo III is going to be a static camera angle.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Static camera angle?  You mean one less thing I have to worry about controlling?  Sounds great!

Most modern camera controls are fairly easy.  Simply 1 mouse click and you can drag/rotate the camera easily.

Yes he did, personally I enjoy the static camera angle, it cuts down on motion sickness.        Cool

Just because you can change the angle, doesn't mean you need to.

I like having it as an option, and occasionally, not having it is a pain and limits level design.
