Tags: Bethesda Softworks; Diablo IIIWhat does Ashley Cheng, the Lead Producer of Oblivion and Production Director at Bethesda, think about Diablo 3? According to his latest blog update:
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.I'm not sure what "conservative side in terms of design" actually means but some seem to think it has something to do with the lack of first-person perspective. According to Rex Exitium's latest cookie cutter adventure Ashley also wanted Starcraft 2 to be first person stating "starcraft 2 looks great, wish blizzard deviated more, try ground control/battlezone first person gameplay". Yes because everything has to be first-person these days or it's just not "next-gen" or "innovative" enough.
Tom Chick says it was "a respectful and constructive comment" and Ashley says he has nothing else to say about it.
Thanks Dandelion and Hamster.
