Diablo 4 Artbook Leaked Images
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
To put it gently, Blizzard's not against reusing character arcs or plot twists.
I need this now. Will double dip as I don't think console version will release same time. Probably a year after PC, but until then pc version will keep me busy. Triple dip when switch pro/ switch 2 version releases. Take my money blizz!
That last scan of what looks like an in game screenshot looks 🔥.
The burning corpses and that horned beast leaving burning marks on the ground. Damn.

Yeah, just based on how long it usually takes for Blizzard to release a game from the moment of announcement at Blizzcon.
How are people saying '' OMG DAY 1 BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! '' based on a few freaking concept images? Are you kidding me?
I'm not exactly hype, I feel like it's going to be a huge fantastical adventure to defeat the big evil with corny, cheesy dialogue that'll destroy all the potential Diablo feel.

Isn't Diablo still kind of alive, his essense at least despite his physical body being destroyed?
That art looks fucking dope. Man I hope they nail the gameplay and music.
How would you even give them money without buying the game lol.
Some people are very easily persuaded, I suppose. If anything it's a testament to how well marketing and CGI trailers work to sell a game we've literally seen nothing of.
I'd like to think it's very likely. They clearly know the console versions are wanted and I have to believe they've all sold quite well for D3. Doing them later would really surprise me.
Really hope that ends up the case. Would hate to wait year or two for a port.
Maybe this is next-gen material?
Depending how far out this is anyway.
"Diablo IV's artistic vision was built using several key pillars: "Return to Darkness", "Embrace the Legacy," and what the art team calls the "Old Masters Pillar," which is shorthand for striving to make each part of the new game look like it was painted by a venerated artist such as Rembrandt or Ilya Repin. When researching lighting or surface, they looked at old paintings first, rather than contemporary video games, with the aim of interpreting the world of Diablo like a medieval painter might versus how a photographer would."
(from the artbook)
man, that blurb makes me INCREDIBLY interested in seeing if they managed to do that.

Activision wants faster games from Blizzard.
This is either dropping next year, or at worst in 2021.
come on people, is the long waited sequel in a notorious series from a notorious dev... just the logo would get people hyped, just like that forest scene from TLOU2's first reveal.
Fingers crossed for Blizzcon! Art looks pretty, and I'm down for plague doctor masks.
While I won't go so far as to forgive Blizzard, I'm not going to lie - I am very, very excited about the prospect of a Diablo IV that might also take a lot of nods from Diablo 2. I liked the third game, I put a lot of time in the third game, but I think some of what it was doing didn't work for me after a while. I also can't believe this, but I think we need to get away from scaling difficulties. Some fights should just be super hard, and it shouldn't be up to the player to fine-tune the experience. Or maybe we need the best of both worlds - an open Adventure mode you can set to your own pace, but a challenging iron man mode that makes the game into a bit more of a roguelike with no respecing your character. I could enjoy both of those things.
The artwork in those scans has me super pumped. I hope we get to see actual gameplay at the reveal, not some lame CGI trailer. I also hope they are planning for a 2020 release, but I won't hold my breath.

I think so? The Black Soulstone that had all the major Evil's souls was shattered at the end of Reaper of Souls when we are fighting Malthael, so I think they were all sent back to hell.
I know, right? If they somehow manage to go full gothic + dark medieval through a Rembrandt lens for the actual graphics, then it's gonna be a looker.
seriously, this shit deserves some backlash imo
i feel sick just remembering D3's launch
D3 didn't look like WoW. :lol: That's a hot take from almost a decade ago. These games look like WoW. The main issue with D3, after the artwork backlash, was the gameplay that took a couple years to fix. Secondary concerns over auction house too.
Still not dark enough!
This is the artwork I wanted:
/thread my trve brother.
Or it's just that people simply enjoyed 1-3 and are looking forward to the 4th instalment. Same as others get excited for a follow up to one of their favourite game series. Nothing to do with being easily persuaded, or falling for CGI trailers. These times are long gone.
I'm not gonna believe Blizzard until I see the actual gameplay. Their development skills are gone.
