LesGeeks.net : Le site de la BD Les Geeks

La grande messe de Blizzard commence demain à Paris et elle est précédée de son lot de rumeurs.

 Mise à jour :

La page officielle -  Plein d'infos, de screenshots, etc. sur mmo-champion (anglais).

--- 

On sait qu'il sera question de Starcraft 2 et de l'addon WoW (Wrath of the Lich King), on sait qu'il y aura des compétitions, des conférences et bien entendus, des milliers de geeks ! Mais on ne sait pas quel nouveau jeu sera annoncé. Rob Pardo, un des grands pontes de Blizzard, a effectivement confirmé qu'un nouveau jeu sera annoncé.

Comme si ce n'était pas suffisant pour mettre les fans en émoi, Blizzard joue avec eux avec un teasing basé sur une image qui évolue chaque jour, révélant de plus en plus d'indices.

Voila l'image finale annotée par le site mmo-champion :

Beaucoup attendent Diablo 3. Pourtant, ça semble peu probable commercialement vu que la sortie d'un nouveau  Diablo ferait baisser considérablement le nombre d'abonnements à WoW. A moins que ce nouveau Diablo soit la relève de WoW, un nouveau MMORPG payant ? Ou alors financé par de la publicité ingame puisqu'il semblerait que c'était le plan initial pour WoW.

Ouvrons les paris ;-)

Pour plus d'infos sur la manifestation, faites un tour sur le site officiel. Sachez aussi qu'il sera possible de suivre l'événement en direct par une page de streaming vidéo.

PS : pour les fans, voici une liste d'indices qui tendraient à prouver que c'est Diablo 3 qui va être annoncé :

bottom right rune is from a game called Pax that blizzard never finished developing.

top rune is from lost vikings.

the two glowing eyes in the center (with the newes pic, where they shine), has the brow too steep to be arthas. it shows a \/ between the eyes on the brow, whereas diablo has a \_/ between them.

all 5 together form a pentagram shape, the common diablo icon.

12) WWI TAKING PLACE ON THE 8TH BIRTHDAY OF D2, 7TH OF X-PAC


there are 4 runes shown in that picture so far a Hel run from Diablo 2 a Rune from starcraft2 tribal a rune off of Frostmourne and a Rune of a game blizzard did not finish developing a while back. the eyes could fit this dark archon, Diablo's, and Lich King. Blizzard is very clever in fooling people and making them keep guessing till the very last moment. but here is some important info you should look at.

Explorer suggests the sequence of the hidden image's numbers in the file names start resembling the LOST experience numbers from the Valenzetti Equation:
4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42

Using the image numbers as separate digits, and applying them to their corresponding css class names to get the letters, using 0 as (learn to crop images anonymous) you can get 2 letters per day.

Tundra - 04: T, R
Glacier - 15: L, E
Icy - 23: Y, I
Cold - 16: O, L

Knowing that there will be 4 more letters, you can create TYR_EL I_ LO_ _ With the Valenzetti Equation from Lost being 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 which so far fits the numbers we have, the final result can probably be guessed to be TYRAEL IS LOST.

So then, 08 will be Artic, giving us A from 0, and T from 8. Leaving us with 42 something like _ _ S _ S

In short ... the combination of the LOST numbers with the words: icy, tundra, etc. Says TYRAEL IS LOST. Take that with a grain of salt. but you never know.


The numbers are part of the 'Valenzetti Equation', meant to show the time until the end of humanity.
The end of humanity.
Pretty dominating theme of diablo, especially after the events of Diablo II and the worldstone shattering.
