It seems like Blizzard is reusing sounds from Warcraft 3 to Diablo 3 sound production:
My friend had came over and I showed him the Diablo 3 gameplay trailer. 30 seconds into the trailer he said “Did you know that is the same sound as the Kobold in War3?”
I turned to him with really big eyes and said “WHAT!!!!!!!!?”
He whipped open his War3 editor and played the Kobold death sound file. I went back to where the barbarian shouts and replayed it. After a while we lined the sounds up perfectly and it has to be the same file.
Thing is, it only happens once.
So… was Blizzard trying to mess with us? Or is it a placeholder for something?
If it is a placeholder.. I can’t figure out what for!
AND NOW IT’S BUGGING ME!
If you move the slider to 00:27(or 28) you’ll hear something that sounds like a swine. If you do, good job because you heard it.Was it meant to be like the rainbows and make a huge rage out break? Or… I dunno…
Nothing serious but now that I know that it’s the same sound… well, I want answers.So… ???
Sources says that Blizzard have been reusing sounds for over 10 years and it quite normal, its also opens doors why we hear a sound of a kobolt when the barbarian is using his skills. Maybe there is some Diablo 3 lore behind this one?
