Diversify, no matter how compelling
I'm glad you like TDFX, but please buy other
things like PWJ that are really cheap right now.
I agree to TDFX's potential, but the appreciation
potential may not be as high as we'd like to
believe now that Wall Street has condemned
this stock as just another cyclical video
chip maker doomed to eventually fail. We
may know better, but that's not enought to
get the funds back into this stock.
As for Diablo2 support, remember, it's for
special effects only. functionally, Diablo2
continues to be a 2D animated game. A true
3D game that's Diablo'like would be MYTH
which is also due for a sequal this Xmas.
Eidos is also working on a true 3D Diablo'like
title for Xmas release, the name escapes me.
But the fact that Blizzard felt better going
with Glide3, than using DirectX 5 or 6 to
"show off" their title that's not due for
another 6 months is very comforting. I
predict Diablo2 will sell over half a
million copies in it's first month alone.
I'm so looking forward to this game, that
not only will I pay Blizzard for an advance
copy upon release, but I'll probably take
off a day from work just to get a head
start on the game the moment it arrives.
If you think I'm sick, believe me, I know
dozens of online friends who plan to do
the same. So any association with this
game to 3dfx is more than welcome. |
