  • The dark surroundings of this level is perfect...I wish all levels of Diablo III had this sort of "dark" atmosphere.

  • I preferred King Leoric naked with bones......

  • Those spells look a bit wowish to me, puple??

  • Hahah, those bow sounds made me thing of god old days playin D2 with my Amazon :D

  • @UndeaadArmy I hope those aren't placeholders. It'd be a nice nod to the past to keep them. But then I guess you'd have to bring back Matt Uelmen to do the soundtrack, which isn't going to happen. :(:(:(

  • Comment removed

  • why dose he have a mace when he had a sword before?

  • @bongmaster420420420 He lost it, it got rusty, it was stolen, Diablo was 10 years ago and he feels like he needs a new god damn weapon?

    You people will bitch about anything.

  • Why does he sound retarded -_-

  • After playing Beta, what I've seen so far is that  1. Its real dark. and 2. It's gory

  • starcraft II UMS.

  • So basicly tacts is.. Kiting...?

  • This series used to be satanic and scary as hell. Now what the fuck am I watching?! Where is the blood and gore?!

    DAMN YOU BLIZZARD, DAAAAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Tobbnes was diablo 2 blood, gore and satanic and scary as hell?

  • @gothaner0407 No but Diablo 1 was, and for the record I did not enjoy Diablo 2 either

  • @Tobbnes u said THIS SERIES

  • were they having crossover with warcraft...

    there's a Lich king there. >_<

  • Pathetic shit, i cant believe to what cartoonish crap has diablo stooped down to.

  • epic

  • Hmmmm... last I checked, I smacked the mofo with Appocalypse spell and wore his crown... Why is he still here?

  • SO ready for this.

  • Not trying to be a hater, but the combat and spell effects look and sound pretty pathetic. I would have thought that Blizzard would take the game up a notch or two, especially with a franchise that essentially made their company. This seems really...average.

  • @peri2502

    Haters gonna hate

  • @Lestrigones So you think Blizzard put their best foot forward with this?

  • HOW IS HE UNDEAD AGAIN!!!! OH THATS IT ROUND 2!

  • undead of the undead of the dead king

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if you reconize the "Bow" sound :D

  • Incarnation sounds like a jet turbine start. So it is a cyberpunk based Leoric? :)

  • tristram was merely a setback

  • I am amazed

  • What makes you so sure it's Leoric??

    according to Diablo 1 he has a sword that forged by Griswold.

    here it's seems to be a mace

  • @Shakshukamen yes this is leoric, he found a new weapon in hell, i guess

  • @SombraManx What makes you think that?

    Leoric buried beneath the cathedral in Tristram.

    I'm just saying that you have no proof that this one is actually Leoric himself

  • @Shakshukamen actually, blizzard confirmed that, this guy is leoric, is the final boss in the beta.. also is a mini-boss in game..

    well, if you don't believe i dont care, just wait until the game is released and play.....

  • just love how a large some of you are saying this is crappy graphics while you fail to notice that this is a video from 2009! ITS ALMOST FUCKING 2012! do you really think its going to be exactly the same as the video were watching with their current work?!

  • Is it really Leoric? It should be 20 years later and Leoric was killed long time ago.

  • cheesy laughter is cheesy.

    wow graphics are not diablo.

    anime animation is anime.

  • Woah, this was uploaded in 09. This guy actually worked for Blizzard to get this video.

  • I thought King Leoric got killed back in Diablo 1!

  • @Bradleybooger99 He was but I guess he returned some how.

  • omg jackals out of halo¬!!!

  • this game looks more like a cartoon now. i want the old diablo graphics back

  • @FuzyNavel100 are you stupid? old graphics suck

  • @Hectom8 maybe to you but these graphics look like 2006 graphics and the old d2 look is what made the game.

  • Make the game darker, it looks like WoW... not diablo

  • @Hazathegod if it's any darker you wouldn't see shit

    stop complaining, the game looks perfect

  • sry dudes but in my opinion "diablo 3" is gonna be a fucking disappointment! i mean... just compare this comic pussy graphics and the retarded laughing "witch king of angmar" copy with our beloved original "king leoric"! it's a fucking shame! :(

  • @iNeedaBreakdown in my opinion graphics are awesome, so is the atmosphere

    i don't understand you people

    it's fucking blizzard, all of their games are great

  • Shao Kahn undead!!! XD

  • They should make it, the more you use a skill the more it levels up and it a skill can get to level 50, Just constantly getting stronger through each level, i would really enjoy that, plus It Would give you lots off stuff once you get to level 90+ and trying to level up, you'd get exp, plus you're skills would level.

    Thumbs Up And Just Possibly Blizzard could see it, And Post It On All Diablo 3 videos, possibly even all blizzard videos, depends on how much u like the idea.

    :D

  • @TheLegoTerminator

    You would end up using only one skill all the time one after another just to see how it balances on max level and to get all skills up for pve and pvp content to check the best combos. Endless farming just for that? I don't see the use of that. It sounds like a neat idea, but its just fancy and serves no real purpose. Its not really content and also its not fun. Maybe at start - but it would become really annoying after a time.

  • king leorics son was possesed by diablo in diablo 1

  • this is soooooooooooooooooo similar to LOTR for PS2 when you fight against the king of the fallen warriors (ghosts)

    Diablo became shit and now also plagiary

  • @Mrjorjejorje Fighting a skeletal king? I think most role playing/action adventure games fall under that category lmao. Could say that LOTR for PS2 is plagiary for copying Diablo One. Damn bastards.

  • @WishyLH I don´t think so. Actually I played both games and I don´t see any interrelation between Diblo's (one) Leoric secuence and LOTR's. If you don't believe me you can search the video here in youtube.

    I have no intentions to discourage you, but this game is a robbery. Shitiest game ever made by Blizzard next to WoW I must say

    But buy It if you want, after all It's your money... It's not that bad... At least you're not expending It on drugs... Maybe..... Good luck with that

  • @Mrjorjejorje Haha i'm not getting D3 .. but drugs? ww (dot) muscle pharm (dot) com

  • @WishyLH Hey man, LOTR exists before you were even born and the fight with the dead king described in the book is equal to the game.

  • Hahah freakin' cool. I'm so tired of waiting for this game.

  • @stealthredneck your not wrong been waiting for this game for too damn long

  • The Beta is ending with Leoric. :-)

  • Mordekaiser!

  • @Nibbenyo lol yea

  • @Nibbenyo Es #1, Always shield never dies huehuehue

  • @Nibbenyo OMG! a LoL NERD!

  • @Nibbenyo LoLfag!

  • Why would Leoric be back? He failed Diablo in the first game. Why would he be back?

    He's just a bigger skeleton than the others, nothing special, per se, from a 'threat' perspective, especially since he lies dormant there, so wtf. In Diablo 1 at least he made sense, since he lived in friggin Tristram and got killed there. So he was okay to roam the catacombs.

    But this? This is just blatant coattail riding.

  • @JewTubeUsername for the nostalgi ..for the real fan ? how about that.

  • @JewTubeUsername

    I was with you until your last comment. You originally asked a very valid question, but then jumped to conclusions and answered it without actually playing the game and learning for yourself. :(

  • @JewTubeUsername who says this isn't tristram catacombs, his ghost repossesses his dead body killed in 1. Besides I never thought blizzard stories have been all rip offs each other for quite some time, world tree=world, the voice in the void=old golds, cursed protagonist turned evil (arthas/kerrigan) and retro-conning backstory turning zerg and orcish horde into misunderstood 'good guys'.

  • And even if it was King Leoric, is the dude not allowed to pick up an axe and hit shit with it?!

  • Honestly, it probably isn't even King Leoric, maybe his skeletal heir or some shit, don't get all your panties in bunches over speculation.

  • Leoric without his sword is like Chuck Norris without a third fist it just isn't possible.

  • its not the same high as diablo1...

  • whoa, actual new footage?

  • it's so painfully slow

  • I THOUGHT I KILLED THAT MOTHER FUCKER?!

  • @ScyllaAndCharybdis1 you're not the only one /(T_T)\

  • Ok, this is cool and dandy, but why is Leoric alive again?

  • @PaladinRageOldsql cursed the townspeople to suffer his wrath for eternity, and since his soul is partially demonic after Diablos attempted possession, he probably gets sent to the black abyss upon death, meaning he can ressurect and return to his cursed corpse.

    make sense?

  • Yeah it's like damn didnt i kill once before?

  • your kiting skills are inferior

  • What made Diablo 1 so great is that it kept you on edge with difficult moments like the Butcher and King Leoric. Especially in combination with the awesome music. Blizzard has already said that Normal in Diablo 3 will be very easy, so they already killed a part of the atmosphere right there. Call me a nay-sayer, but I doubt Diablo 3 will deliver anywhere near Diablo 1 or 2.

  • @GertUberNerd umm normal difficulty is supposed to teach you how to play. if you want higher difficulty player Nightmare or Hell modes.

  • @pirateking83 You've got a point, but by Nightmare you already know what's gonna happen, so it won't nearly be as surprising. If you've played D1, you probably remember your first encounter with the Butcher, right? That stuff was awesome.

    Also consider the fact that you have to play Normal for each and every character you create, so the first 1/3 of the game will be a borefest. Then again, the same can be said for D2.

  • @GertUberNerd i think in nightmare and hell modes they'll make it much more difficult and random so that you don't know what's coming. you know since every dungeon is pretty much randomized.

  • @GertUberNerd

    maybe they will have an easy mode to teach people and the old fans can go straight into normal mode which will have a bit of difficulty, like diablo 2 where the difficulty can ramp up at certain parts even on normal.

    but then you go to the next difficulty and normal seems like a kids game :P

  • Kite Gilr Kite!!!!...

    worthless user obviously does know how to use a clothy :P

  • come on... keep distance, hit & run!

  • i don´t think thats Leoric, i mean, i killed him years ago, and he used a gigantic sword.

  • Diablo 3 looks so uninspired. D2 wasn't quite as thematic as D1 but it still told a great story. But the reason D1 was so good was because of all the religious themes.

  • I hope they use the Tristram soundtrack at some point in D3

  • I'm fucking knew it! His corrupted Soul survived! Well he's been called a Skeleton King for good reasons.

  • omg like fake n gay, leoric is a poossy in dis game, lyk he haz no wachamacallit, scarineseses in d3, lyk cum on bro.

    Trollers be trolling, bitches.

  • @fatfail666 Stop using the word "gay" pejoratively and learn to write, dammit.

  • @Francis123P You're serious about that? You can't stop the troll.

  • @fatfail666 Oh, I know. Well, it's just that i'm gay myself, and comments like those really piss me off, especially when they seem to have been written on crack, so I can't keep myself from answering them. It's human nature, I guess. I'm pretty sure that if you ever came across a comment that is personally offending to you, you might wanna teach it's author a lesson instinctively, even if it has (almost) no actual impact.

  • @Francis123P So I see. Don't worry, it's not like I mean it xD

  • where the heck is king leoric`s sword ?!

  • King Leoric without a big freaking sword of epicness is blasphemy

  • I GOT CHUR ARMMMMM

  • Hmm, this is just as dissapointing as bringing back Tassadar back to "life" in SCII.

  • !!!!! i already laid his soul to rest...wtf is he doing back?

  • @brownspider64 I guess Diablo summoned him back from hell >_>

  • remeber diablo 1 skeleton king? And now hes back yay!

  • so leroic...we meet again.

  • Leoric's deeeeeeeeeead

  • fuck is d3 almost like a remake of d1

  • Don't wanna be a hater but ...

    Starcraft 2 - Fantastic, fanbase = way satisfied

    WoW Cataclysm - It's okay.

    Diablo 3... so wait, is this Titan Quest all over again? This looks slow and boring. D2 LOD is about hauling ass and destroying everything in your path, building unreal PvP chars, understanding the mechanics is a skill in itself and if you're not smart you get trolled/griefed out.

    Diablo always was dark, gritty and gory, this is May Poppin's backyard.

    What the f-.

  • is this the kking leoric from diablo1? i think sooo :)

  • I'm a little disappointed at the lack of terror generated by Leoric. I mean 'Hur Hur Hur Hur' just isn't quite as menacing as 'Looking for Baal?' followed by a WTF death and an agonising corpse run.

  • Was it even confirmed that the same Diablo from D1 and D2 was going to be in D3? or just some random big evil boss :/

  • @ZikicaKikica seriously. WD's mana source needs to be changed to voodoo magik! overall mana should be completely removed from the game as its unbalanced and not unique to the characters.

  • The world will end, when we see the dissapointment that is diablo 3.

    There are Free MMOs out right now that are competitive Vs this game already.

    If I were blizz, I wouldn't even release it, start over

  • is diablo 3 a remake of part 1

  • I think Diablo should keep their gothic and dark theme... now its just another cool game with awesome graphics... the gothic theme is what set it apart from other games like god of wars...

  • @nulnoh219 and you can tell its kept its gothic theme from a 59 second short clip? wait til it comes out before you start saying "oh, its lost its theme, its not as cool anymore". honestly, i see people saying the same thing looking at d1 vs d2, how it lost some of its religious themes and shit. look at the settings. D1: descending into a church. obviously gonna be some religious shit there. d2: chasing a demon across the world. and yet, same amount of religious shit, just better hidden.

  • Oh no! Leoric's bones got into a Horadric Cube. Now he's back and PISSED!

  • 0:34 i love that mischievous little laugh, can't get enough of it!

  • Griswold even says in D1, he crafted him the finest sword possible with mithril? He uses an axe now? Blizzard really lost Diablo..

  • @JungleFoxx well when they have a game thats up to 11 million ppl (last i heard) at 15 bucks a month, they're gonna kinda stop giving a shit about a game thats free to play... its really unfortunate

  • @JungleFoxx in D1 you get his sword nearing the end of the game that could have something to do with it

  • @JungleFoxx No. Read the lore! Blizzard has LEGENDARY lore, and their 3 series will just keep going. all different all great (dia, wow, sc) He had an axe before the sword.

  • @JungleFoxx except this is a mace ;D

  • @JungleFoxx did you really expect him to use the same weapon after 20 years in the game world? the sword probably got looted by all the adventurers.

  • @JungleFoxx maybe he lost the sword when he was killed the first time?

    maybe the axe holds some significance in the lore that we dont know about yet.

    we dont even know why or how he was resurrected as far as i know. so give them a chance there may be lore in the game that explains it.

  • @JungleFoxx seems like a minor detail

  • @JungleFoxx fuck u, blizzard is your god and you WILL BEND TO HIS WILL

  • @JungleFoxx Well..I assume he lost his sword after he was killed in Diablo 1

  • @JungleFoxx It wouldn't really be fair to have you fight an early game boss (or even a boss in a demo that isn't supposed to kill the person doing the demo) with a ridiculously powerful sword would it?

  • @JungleFoxx

    Whatever my god... I'm ok with a little change as lost as the change is good. Seriously swords are overused in every game i'v ever played. I'm glad recently some games are using weapons that are wierd and new. For example in God of War yea he calls them swords but.... no. Theirs just awesome killing things but sword nonono.

  • @JungleFoxx Perhaps leoric lost that nice lil sword when he died..again... in D1

  • @JungleFoxx maybe he lost the sword

  • @JungleFoxx Which he lost along with his field crown...

  • @JungleFoxx its a mace mang HOHOHOHO

  • @JungleFoxx

    Dude Diablo 1 is Diablo 1 This is Diablo 3 with new effects etc.

    If you criticize it, then you do not need it to play.We are in 2011 not in 1990

  • @MegaDiablo3 D2 followed D1, why shouldnt D3 do it? I guess you haven't played D1, neither do i think you're a real gamer, you're just a Crysis nerd looking for great graphics.

  • @JungleFoxx Yeah, but this is Diablo 3. He died when you get to kick his ass in Diablo.

  • @JungleFoxx Blizz guys think that axes look more badass. I think that big swords do.

  • @JungleFoxx Actually, if you remember, In single player, He usually dropped it... which, bringing lore into consideration, could have been the sword the Wanderer was dragging with him in the first part...

  • @MasterRhonin09 makes sense

  • @MasterRhonin09 i dont remember him dropping it... he drops his crown and i killed him yesterday he didnt give me his sword... i wish he did though

    maybe he drops it in other difficultys

  • @zerranterg It was a fairly rare drop. It is probably the best 2h sword a warrior can get in single player.

  • @MasterRhonin09 whats it called?

  • @zerranterg I do not remember off the top of my head.

  • @JungleFoxx

    Yes, becuase of such freaking marginal shit, you're saying they lost Diablo? You're most probably the most fucking retarded idiot, I've ever seen in my life. And all those who "liked" the comment. Diablo 3 is a new game, GET IT! It doesn't mean that it's going to be bad, just because it's not exactly the same as diablo 1 and 2. Jesus you're such fucking jerks, make me so aggressive. Idiots. Fuck you.

  • @Timophey74 You're so damn bitter it's amazing. He's saying that Blizzard has lost touch with their own game, where they don't even follow even the smallest details now. How could the design team not even give him a sword, when in their own lore it states that hes uses one?

  • @JungleFoxx well heeeeee issss dead now... maybe the sword is in the game for us to get our mits on

    ... dont be such a pansy ass

  • @JungleFoxx well he got his ass kicked in D1 by me so he clearly felt the need for a new weapon

  • @JungleFoxx according to diablo lore, after the dark wanderer "cleansed" the dungeons below tristram and defeated diablo, looters descended into the catacombs and caverns beneath the city to loot anything the hero left in his wake. it is highly likely, given that it is such a GODDAMN VALUABLE SWORD, that one of the looters took off with it, hence causing the skeletal form of king leoric to have to use his axe, which he owned before the sword, as a weapon when he ressurected.

  • @JungleFoxx

    Really? A weapon change. Thats what makes you say that? You probably never played the game even once, and even 6months before the start of the Beta and the news flood you dare to make such a statement. I think you really lost common' sense

  • I thought Leoric had a giant sword? Not a mace :/

  • shit...the world is going to be terminate in 2012,that's mean we won't play this game a lot...:(

    by the way,is it true that diablo himself or some abstract form of him won't even appear in diablo 3?

    diablo without diablo?

  • @SEHARA97 And you believe that... From a bunch of people in loincloths?

    Thats where the whole "2012" thing came from, you know.

    The Mayan calender ends in 2012 or some bullshit like that.

  • when i can buy this game?

  • @ZelaznyWDK any game shop, any online store will have it, but unfortunately, it probaly wont come out still late this year, probz around october/november, of perhaps even spring 2012.

  • Hmm wasn't Leoric relieved from his curse in Diablo 1 :O?

  • @nodoctoryet

    Yes he was but it seems 20 years later he is still trapped in that curse somehow i always knew they would revive him again most importantly how can his remains stay on a throne if the player clearly destroyes him on the ground in diablo 1.........

  • @NEMESIS1999 his followers re-mantled him? idk its cool hes back to kill again tho

  • you died didnt you ??? thats why the video is incomplete XD

  • Looks like the Skeleton King is having more problems getting past his minions then getting to her :(

  • Leoric was from diablo 1 if im not mistaken

  • I think leoric is a president of blizzard!!

  • Can't wait!

  • The warmth of life has entered my tomb...

  • when people say the butcher was hard, i just laugh. he was so easy but king leoric!!!! that fucker can go to hell (what he already did)
