Fallout 3 Director Comments on “Conservative” Diablo 3

Diablo 3 has been announced by Blizzard, and stirred up a bit of excitement this week. But in one person, the latest buzz has elicited disappointment instead.

Fallout 3 Production Director Ashley Cheng stated in his blog “I must say I am disappointed that Blizzard has stayed on the conservative side in terms of design with their updates to Diablo and Starcraft. Diablo will be interesting since World of Warcraft has a lot of Diablo-like qualities. I have no doubt, however, that they will be incredibly fun, addictive and polished games. Blizzard is the top of the class when it comes to game development – nobody does it better.”

He goes on to note what the company is capable of, with the addictive qualities of World of Warcraft seeing it banned from his house, though he hopes their next MMO will be “World of Starcraft.”

And in an update, he asks their forgiveness.
