The new diablo was just recently announced and it looks awesome
You can look at the videos of diablo at http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/

[This is my RESOLVE...]

I have yet to play a Diablo game, but looking at these videos make it look great. It looks some what similar to WoW or FlyFF....Pretty decent looking though. The game comes out on pc only?

It's a Blizzard game so I guess it's only for the PC

Blizzard is not entirely PC limited.
Some blizzard games are later made for the consoles as well.

Warcraft II and Diablo were released for the Playstation and Starcraft and broodwar were released for the Nintendo 64.
Not to mention blizzard was going to make a game called Starcraft Ghost for  only the consoles. I'm not sure what happened to it though

And Cris, I suggest playing through the original diablo and diablo II before playing diablo III.  Not that you wont be able to, I just think It would be a more worthwhile game if you got in touch with its roots.

I played Diablo 2 back in the day.. was fairly addicting but, was too young to fully comprehend builds.. so by nightmare my guys couldn't keep up with everyone else... I've seen some1 play the original diablo and I can take a guess on what the game was about from playing d2 and recently reading part of the decard cain journal thing on the d3 website...
@IChown: As for ghost.. as far as I know its somewhere along the lines of being on hold/canceled.. they've either dropped it completely, are gonna start it again later or let another company do it

i thought that blizzard dropped Ghost?

Just looked it up.. apparently according to blizzard it is postponed indefinitely although ign and gamespot have it under canceled..

Anyways back on topic.. How much of the original staff of Diablo is still there?... I know tons of employees dropped out at one point so I'm wondering exactly how many are left.. since the new game seems to have the same feel as the older Diablo's

I'm not sure any of the original developers of the diablo series are still with Blizzard.
The main programmers went to develop Hellgate: London (Great game btw)

I'm hoping Diablo III will be just as good as it's predecessors, but i'm not sure.

Until D3 was announced, I accepted Hellgate as the unofficial Diablo 3.

You can't base everything around the original programmers.  You have to look at the company as a whole.  Once the developers left Blizzard, they've lost the Blizzard branding.  Without the Blizzard branding, they don't get the assurance of quality you get from every Blizzard title.  Blizzard itself doesn't release games unless they are qualified to their standards.

On a side note, many of my friends tried playing Hellgate london for a month or two.  All of them said it's filled with bugs, not fun and highly repititious.

Although it is filled with bugs and highly repititious, it is one of the more fun games out there. (My opinion)

Now back on topic...

Does anyone know the other classes that will be added? Besides the barb and thew witch doctor.

I might get it but then once you look at the fact the Blizzard takes there time and is under no stress to make any games you can exepct either great things or just a pile of junk. Blizzard should release all the classes in a later time. LIke at E3.
