I didn't want to make a separate thread but on Friday I'm sure people will want to follow the events closely and not clutter the Video Game thread. I have some thoughts and predictions on what will be shown. What do you think?


Diablo 2 HD remake reveal.

Diablo 4 Announcement

Overwatch PvE content of some sort possibly even a full fledged game (Titan) to compete with Destiny.

World of Warcraft - Upcoming Legion content. Nothing special.

I imagine they're not going to do anything crazy with Diablo. All signs point to a quick anniversary celebration in their current games and nothing more. Probably no expansion talk either.

Hearthstone will likely get an announcement for its next expansion though. Overwatch will get Sombra I guess? Legion might get a teaser for the Nighthold raid (and hopefully more 5 man content), and other than some updates for Heroes of the Storm I bet that'll be about it.

Crazy out there idea - something new with StarCraft???

I hope there is some diablo stuff, but i'm skeptical. There was that leaked artwork of the necromancers, but don't expect anything to come out of it.

A Blizzard Destiny-esque franchise for consoles would definitely pique my interest.

Currently the only Blizzard game I play is Heroes of the Storm so I am interested in what will be announced for that. I am assuming a couple new characters will be talked about. Maybe even a non-standard type of character will be announced too. Something else new to the game would be nice as well.

Diablo 3 will be getting the necromancer as part of a character pack upgrade.

Maybe that's the wrong term? I took it as being like an expansion.

Mini-Expansion, paid DLC, pretty much the same thing. I got enough out of Reaper of Souls that I will most definitely partake in the Necromancer whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

Diablo's nice because you can just hop in for a season, play it, then step away from it. The new class looks fun. I'll definitely give is a shot for a season or two.

D3 is getting 2 new maps for adventure mode and the D1 remake for free.

Necromancer is paid DLC in the "character pack" that will include new character slots and bank slots.

Its pretty weak IMO, I want to pay for a new xpac not a new class to run old crap again.

I'm curious how much the character expansion will cost. I think I've gotten pretty good value out of diablo ($100 for the core game + expansion for 6 years of gameplay) that i'd be ok playing $20 for the character.

I'd guess $15 US. Kinda like the Starcraft missions they had.

not quite a full remake. It's a 16 level dungeon within D3.

changed visual and audio filters to look retro, restrict movement to 8 direction. Include 4 bosses.

Time limited area.
