The gameplay movie looked ok. I'm not convinced the Witchdoctor is a good enough class to remove one of the other core 5 though.

Have to agree with Dd about the Witch Doctor, otherwise it looks sweet.

The Witchdoctor looks sort of like an alternative to the Druid, which wasn't all that awesome of a class in Diablo 2. Given how few abilities were shown I'm willing to withold judgement on the classes. I'm more of an Assassin man myself anyway. As long as there's a good next step for a class like that I'll be happy.

Pff - druid and assassin weren't in the core 5 anyway: they were added in the expansion.

I liked the Barbarian and Sorceress classes and I seriously doubt they'd remove either of those. I'd bet Witch Doctor is going to replace Paladin.

Q: Will the seven classes from Diablo II be kept as well as the new classes you're introducing?
A: We have no plans to carry classes over. It's a fresh start, we haven't finalized the final classes or how many there will be. We're not trying to bring back Diablo II classes.

Q: Is the witch doctor a spiritual successor to the necromancer?
A: It's not really a replacement. It's a really cool class that we liked the sound of. The witch doctor doesn't prohibit us deciding to put a necromancer class in too.

I never got into the Diablo series. Something about the top-down view bothered me. Same reason I could never get into the Neverwinter series, too. The mechanics just don't feel right to me. I'm always amazed at the strong following it has, though.

Too bad WoW didn't have these graphics....I might have actually played it from the get go if it did.

I hope they revamp the whole "click to pick up shit in multiplayer games and ninja the fuck out of everyone until your computer explodes" system.

If it makes you feel better, they use the same patcher for it that Cataclysm uses.
