D3 Physics Role

[undrgrnd59]

I remember looking at the Half-life 2 trailer "trap town" (below) and crapping myself thinking about how awesome it would be to kill my enemies using physics (mind power) and not just bullets.

The actual game, unfortunately, featured a lot less scenarios where you could use your mind to pwn enemies with physics, and a lot more scenarios with explosions and massive gun fights (still fun).

Will Diablo 3 take the same route?

I'm weary that it will. Yet, the video shows a lot of unintentional physics action as the barbarian knocks over walls and railings just fighting though monsters, so it may turn out to play a more active roll.

wow that guy was way too cautious in HL2 -.-

it probably will be something like how HL2 turned out to be... why would they want to cut out the most important part of the game (chop chop chop) with just destroying everything with the beautiful environment?

I believe D3 will be like it is in the gameplay video, its not like they are going to do all the work to add those destructable parts in just to show in the video and not add to the game.

I doubt it will affect gameplay (Except for the preset walls and such you can knock over to kill stuff) but it just feels nicer when you do a huge smash with your weapon, smashing everything around you unintentionally.

just like the exploding barrels the environment kills will be there but not when you need them the most or will kill you if you use it wrong

Hell I renember those HL2 videos when my jaw dropped and the game didn't include much of things included in those videos which did dissapoint me...But to be honest I think D3 will be as in videos, at least I hope so.
