WWI 2008 to the present

#0 - April 20, 2011, 8:41 p.m.

I recently watched the first game play video from WWI 2008 and it is still awesome to watch. The game looks incredible, and I'm stoked for it to come out. (I built a new computer as soon as the game was announced so I could be able to run in smoothly, and three years later here we are...)

Anyways, my question to you, Bashiok, is how much has the game changed since that first video? Obviously there have been a ton of additions, removals, etc., but does the game play quite differently than it did three years ago?

Have you guys changed the "core" of the game? If so, just slightly or was it a dramatic change?

The reason I ask is because the game looks like it plays fairly similar throughout all of the videos over the past three years -- obviously with more polish and detail. But, we have only seen so much and there could be a lot more going on that we don't know simply because we haven't been exposed to it.

You don't have to provide any spoilers or anything like that. I was just curious about how different the game feels now compared to the first announcement three years ago.

It really doesn't, which I think is the biggest reason why we announced it when we did. We hit a point pretty early on where the core of the game felt right, and we knew we had a solid base to build on. Then it was just a process of making the game. ;)
