Fallout 3 Producer Disappointed With Diablo III And Starcraft II [Bethesda]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/dawson-crying.jpg" class="postimg left"/>While <i>Fallout 3</i> producer Ashley Chung (not pictured) was impressed with the <i>Diablo III</i> gameplay footage, he was also "disappointed." And not only with <i>Diablo III</i>, but also the new <i>Starcraft</i>. That would make his feelings, say, sadly bittersweet? On his personal blog, Chung blogged his personal feelings about:</p> <blockquote><p> 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. </p> </blockquote> <p>Man, why's everyone so down <i>Diablo III</i>? There's <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/5021118/diablo-fans-petition-against-diablo-iii">that rainbow petition</a> and now this? Blizzard cannot win, like never ever ever. Hit the jump for Chung's post in full:</p> <blockquote><p> Diablo III announced. Nice. It looks pretty amazing, especially the gameplay video. Loved the destructible environments.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>In fact, World of Warcraft is currently banned from any computer I own due to its highly addictive qualities. Its easily one of my favorite RPGs.</p> <p>I know they are working on another Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game. I hope its World of Starcraft.</p> <p>UPDATE:<br /> Dear Blizzard,<br /> Please forgive me.</p> <p>XOXO,<br /> Ash </p> </blockquote> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ashleycheng.com/2008/06/when-ship-runs-out-of-ocean.html">When the ship runs out of ocean</a> [ash :: the blog via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://news.bigdownload.com/2008/07/01/fallout-3-producer-ashley-chung-disappointed-with-diablo-iii-r/">Big Download</a>]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=fb52e89ab45218c6933dcdf4ee742409"><img alt="" style="border:0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=fb52e89ab45218c6933dcdf4ee742409"/></a> <img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=fb52e89ab45218c6933dcdf4ee742409" style="display:none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
