Diablo III Hints?

Thanks to Shacknews for the heads up.

Diablo III is one of those games that most people assume has to be in development, but has still yet to be announced. Now, several Blizzard and Diablo fan sites have hosted an online chat interview with Diablo novelization author Richard A. Knaak containing numerous tidbits suggesting that a third main game in Blizzard's acclaimed hack and slash RPG series is on the way. Some choice quotes:

Q - Medievaldragon: How much of the book is creation of yours, and how involved is Chris Metzen behind the canon storyline of Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy? Do you think the ramifications of this book impact in the storyline of Diablo 3 the game?

A - Knaak: This is a pure collaboration between myself and Chris/Blizzard. All that is written is passed by him and the others there. This will be canon and has adjusted earlier info. The ramifications here will be used for any future project...and I ain't writing for a dead game.

Q - Deathshade|EU: So... Diablo 3?

A - Knaak: I am not writing for a dead world...but a world with dead. nuff said

Sweet, Diablo III. Now all we need is Starcraft II and Warcraft IV!

Windows 7 beta download imminent?

Microsoft have updated their Windows 7 site with a download link for the Windows 7 beta. It would appear from the posting that Microsoft is currently readying site updates and download servers for the imminent release of the Windows 7 beta. Yesterday, German site Winfuture claimed that the beta would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest. Microsoft will not comment on the exact date and a Microsoft official confirmed the beta is still targetted for early 2009.

Win7 Beta Download Date Extended

After a rough start with distributing the beta, Microsoft must feel guilty. They have extended the time available for public testers to download and obtain keys for the beta.

All the way up to February 10, downloads and keys will be available for public download. After that date, if you have the download, keys will still be available.

This cutoff date does not include MSDN and Technet subscribers; the beta along with the keys will be available throughout the entire testing phase.

The expiration date for the beta is August 1, 2009 with an RC release to selected testers scheduled for before that date.

If you thought you missed out, but still want to get your hands on the beta, now's the time to do it!

XNA Game Studio 2.0 Beta Ending Soon

Michael Klucher: This Friday, December 7th, will be your final chance to download the beta of XNA Game Studio 2.0. We are ending the beta program in preparation for our final release.



Additionally, the Games for Windows - LIVE online functionality will become disabled. You will still be able to use XNA Game Studio 2.0 Beta to program System Link games, but you will not be able to log on by using a LIVE-enabled Gamertag.



As we have mentioned, the delta between the beta and the release was very short. During that period, we addressed many bugs and issues, but the beta you received was "feature complete," meaning that everything new for XNA Game Studio 2.0 was included with the beta.



Our final release is right around the corner, and we'd like to thank everyone who took time to download our beta as well as provide feedback through the Microsoft Connect site. It's with your help that we can ensure that our final build is as stable as possible.
