Diablo 3 in Starcraft 2??

I'm not sure where this is supposed to go, so here will do

So, I was looking on the Diablo 3 website and noticed that the creatures look like they are a similar quality to that of StarCraft 2 units (similar poly count).

Here is an example:


So I was wondering, do you think you'll be able to export then import the Diablo 3 monsters from Diablo into the Starcraft 2 editor for use in custom maps?
Do you think it's intentional move by blizzard?

Because if you think about it, there are a lot of monsters and stuff you can use in WC3, thanks to the creeps. What do you have in SC2? Just the race units (I think there may be some others in the campaign though).

I reckon you will be able to. It wouldn't be all that hard to do, and I think they'll be compatible.

 

thats a good idea.. and would be really epic oh imagine having a zealot in diablo 3? or a colossus.

 

>=\ Now I wanna see a zealot face off against a barbarian..

 

What is more likely is that the Diablo 3 team is utilizing the StarCraft 2 graphics engine until they develop their own.

 

The protoss could be included, but like only items or weapons
ie psi blades+psionic enhancer or anti matter missle laucher (costs like uh-billion dollahs)

( sure it wont go with lore but why not )

 

Maybe Diablo III is the unannounced SCII expansion.

 

Blizzards current stance on importing models from their other games into other games of theirs is rather... inconspicuous. However;
Im talking of course in respect the warcraft 3 community importing mass WoW models into the wc3 editor, which is currently not allowed and not sanctioned by any community site.. apart from a crazy russian one .

So yes - i would expect it to be perfectly possible.

However no - judging from blizzards trends, i doubt they will allow or encourage it.

 

StarCraft IV: The Prequel.

 

Diablo really takes place thousands of years before Starcraft.

Warcraft takes place somewhere between Diablo and Starcraft.

 

And here I thought they were different universes.

 

^ He's joking


...

I hope!

 

i brought this up in other threads but no1 noticed or cared for my idea of having D3 units in SC2 map editor or something. should made my own thread lol but i'm down with your/my idea

 

it'd just be an easy way to get some "creeps" for custom maps or whatever. Say you wanted to make an rpg in SC2 or something. You'd need more units than what is already there...

 

Easy? Maybe. But the fact remains you're gonna pump up your map massively with every model you import, and a huge filesize is a killer for fresh maps. A high download speed doesn't help anyone since its the upload speed that counts, and from my warcraft 3 experience that's a *****.

 

The thousands of StarCraft 2 map hosting sites will help that though.

 

Yeah but you have to make the place to download it known first, so a map has to be somewhat popular before anyone will download it off the site, don't you think

 

Map hosting sites get popular in a matter of days. The only thing you need to worry about is getting your file known.

 

The first person to make a really good one will probably become popular by default.

The main race will be to make something to top Dota though.

 

We have to top dota, else the community is self-destroying!

 

that would be great. Honestly i would like to see a dark templay fighting against a barbarian. The battle would be epic! There's a high likelihood that Blizzard will incorporate some elements of Diablo 3 into Starcraft 2. Remember the marine model, zergling model and the hydralisk in Warcraft 3? Blizz FTW.
