Diablo 2 Resurrected coming to PC and consoles in 2021
- Thread starter Xando
- Start date
I misspoke about that but have they ever done this to another VV project? just because it happened once doesn't make it a recurring thing. And im not that pessimistic to believe it's going to happen to every remaster when all the other activison/blizzard remasters were fantastic. I'm not going to distrust another company for putting out 1 bad game. History is in favor of a good remaster over a bad one.
Diablo II doesn't have online-only DRM. If can totally be played offline via single player. The only exception is when you playing via the Battle.net servers via multiplayer.
Your only as good as your last game and the last game Blizzard sent out was shockingly bad. I don't think it will end up being a Warcraft 3 scenario but I am not going to buy into anything Blizzard says until the game is at retail and people are playing it.
It's still only 2 skill on PC and you keybind stuff on Funtions keys.
i already have the original d2 on my battlnet account, and yeah, if this isn't playable offline like the original d2 then it's indisputably a huge regression.
I don't think "Blizzard" are the ones sabotaging anything. I am fairly certain that would be Activision.
Oh I know D3 runs well on the Switch, hell I bought it because I love the gameplay loop. If it is the same team who ported D3 to the Switch then that is great.
I am excited for D2 on the go though. Never in my wildest gaming dreams did I think this would happen.
Even then, the original game is still under all the new graphics and everything shiny so I think nearly any laptop or system can run it just fine
I assume they'll do everything they can to avoid that happening again. Also a different studio.
Blizzard hasn't made a single game that I know of that supports ultrawide resolutions correctly. Over watch technically does but it's basically a 16:9 view cropped to 21:9 or 32:9
Blizzard got a nice taste of how rabid the diablo fanbase can be in that infamous blizzcon. They need to be pretty confident to risk doing a reforged again, there are people crazy enough in the diablo fanbase to go around burning koticks mansions if they do
Damn, all the items are rendered in game same as the paperdoll art
thats really awesome.
EDIT: based Skull sound

I think Warcraft III: Reforged was a wake up call. There's no way Activision was going to take all that heat again.
The quality and care going into D2R is what should have gone into the Warcraft III remake.
That's the original game framerate. Max resolution was also like 800x650.
IF you got the sweet HD upgrade in LoD. Original was 640x480 or something lol
I had completely forgotten that was a LoD feature. What a throwback
I'd hate to work on remaster people complain if they change too much, complain when it's too little. Fuck clicking on gold but i'd be shocked if there wasn't some people that would yell it removes the weight form playing the game having to mindlessly click 50 pile of gold.
Yes. They explicitely said so. D2R is balanced around controller, D4 too. So in both game you can just use whatever controller you want.
From what I've read and listened, yes you will be able to just plug in a controller and play on PC
Haha. Yeah I never played it until a month or so before Diablo 3 released. I only ever finished normal. My hand hurt so much just from playing those few hours in normal. I'm looking forward to playing with a controller. I think it will be easier for me.
You can toggle from remastered graphic to the original on the fly so I'd assume so.
