I red from an interview he left cause Blizzard made him work an amount hour per day, and he was doing fine like "doing he's job and go home". So he left
@tetrazonian cool! i was actually going to respond to this even though i didnt know you are tetrazonian. but you would barely know since u havent played the game.
@LTmarmoset3000 Personally, I enjoyed the Diablo 2 soundtrack far more because of the feeling of being in a wilderness of a sorts, all alone with nothing but a mercinary and demons. But what they're doing to Diablo 3 is making it all cinematic... Whether or not that's a good thing is mostly just opinion but it'll take away the solitary "fear" that diablo 2 had... You never know, maybe it'll work with a new cinematic type of gameplay that 3 looks to have.
My comment is relative to my experiences with Blizzard games, not yours. Even a small child should realize that having a separate opinion doesn't make anyone retarded.
But since you are not a small child, and you didn't realize it, I am wondering whether your question is one better suited to you.
@VodnikTressel I asked a simple question: "Are you retarded?". I don't recall asking you to ramble on about irrelevant topics that had nothing to do with our conversation. But you've seem to have answered my question by not answering my question, thank you.
@metzGRR whats to explain? they certainly arent nuns and im not sure if female budhist monks existed but blizzard most likley made that just to continue the male/female customization for each char.
@metzGRR ur reffering to benedictine minks which are in diablo but the one shown in d3 is buddhist u can tell by his orange garments and even teh martial art style belongs to them
@greenbrad182 On the contrary. Blizzard has a strict policy regarding working at their campus. Matt wasn't inclined at that point in time to commit so many time to it because of his family and other matters, so they parted ways.
@MisterMetadata seriously i actaully think d3 is going to ruin teh diablo series. diablo is a gothic style game but theyre putting in buddhist monks and asian wizards and shit thats going to shatter the atmosphere of the game. plus theyre brigning cartoon, WOW-ish animation which looks terrible. say goodbye to diablo as we know it
@solokeith5000 I bet some one like you were saying just the same about D2. What about druids, fluffy treehuggers? Assassins, what's that all about? Also, lolwut amazons lolol. And so on, etc., you continue the list.
@Cidique Look at all the things that made diablo, diablo. The amazon, the assasin, they were to be expected considering the enviro's you were in. Rainforest much? Amazon it up. But really, take a look at how BAD they are trying to make the game, they seem to have no CLUE what made the first two great.
@doddoso Suppose your reply was coined on my sarcastic comment to solokeith5000's comment. Thing is, change is inevitable. Solokeith5000 also said Diablo is a gothic-styled game, and I'm 100% with him on that, and to me, Diablo 1 captured that spirit the best, by far. Diablo 2 simply doesn't do it for me.
@solokeith5000 in case you didn't notice, the sorceress in d2 was asian, so i don't think introducing an asian wizard class is exactly going to shatter the atmosphere. diablo is gothic but it has always included stylistic influences inspired from all over the world
@MisterMetadata Matt is now Working for Runic Games, which is a company with the ACTUAL Diablo I and II creators. Torchlight II is released in 2011 and it will be the real diablo-like game.
@MisterMetadata Correction: They did not "Fire" him for D3. He left the company of his own accord after finishing the Burning Crusade project. This was over 2 years ago. I think I read somewhere that he had a bunch of friends over at Runic Games that he worked with on the original Diablo projects, and I also heard somewhere else that he demanded more money than Blizzard was willing to pay, therefore he now works for Runic.
@MisterMetadata He wasnt fired he left to join Runic games along with a lot of other people from Blizzard north. And a Ps the music in Diablo 3 is great.
@Gondar4321 Yea, He left, he wasn't fired. I'm just glad I got to see him at Blizzcon in 08 when they unveiled it. Besides, hes working on Torchlight 2 now :D
This probably did not make it to the game for a very good reason, there was no place for it. Just listening to it, it very Spanish, has a positive atmosphere to it.
that's probably true. Still, it could have gone to the credits or something. As a piece on it's own, it's absolutely beautiful. A masterpiece. Wonderful. Matt Uelmen you're a genious.
he should stick to more string instruments in his work.. he is masterful at it. i'm not as much into his low-humming low-frequency instruments
