[JeremyEtcetera]

Fully recreated cutscenes

I need concrete proof of this at release. Everything else seems great though.

 

[Desless1]

So many hours? How about all the hours? Cuz once I fire it up, only an act of god will make me stop playing.

I know, but since I am supposed to be an adult with real life responsibility, it only gives me so many hours to play with.

Best to already notify the wife that when it releases, we won't be seeing each other for a while

 

[AV]

Did they just kill Diablo 4?

D4 is years away. Plenty of time for people to have their fun here.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Gentlemen. Those images?

Full chub.

If they can deliver (and let's not forget WC3:R), then I will pay whatever the fuck they want. Monthly sub, I don't care.

 

[TheMan]

cautiously optimistic. Trailer looked good but you never know boys

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

It's like people forgot WarCraft III: Reforged was a thing that actually happened.
Hype this game up at your own peril.

Yep.

I'll go a step further and say that D2 has a lot of rough edges. I prefer D3. This is great that it's finally coming to consoles and is getting an overhaul to (hopefully) modernize the game.

 

[Velius]

Looks like shit, reminds me of when Nintendo remastered the first Fire Emblem for 3DS.

At least they didn't make the Barbarian trans-black-gay in a wheelchair. I honestly expected everyone to be trans and Diablo to be reskinned as Donald Trump

 

[Flintty]

I never played Diablo 2 and I loved 3, so judging by the jizz bestowed on 2 by the Diablo community, I should love it, right?

 

[CamHostage]

They'd better make some QOL changes. Stash space is atrocious in vanilla D2

They did.

Diablo II: Resurrected

Evil is resurrected in the timeless action RPG classic Diablo II, and its acclaimed expansion Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, now remastered and upgraded.

diablo2.blizzard.com

Also, D2R has a Legacy Graphics mode. I wonder if this is running the new game on top of the old game (ala the Bluepoint remastered games) or if this is a regular conversion?

 

[prinz_valium]

Can't wait to make world first lvl 99 again with my last hit Amazon

You, just like me, will probably play both, even if they're both shit, let's not pretend otherwise.

 

[GHG]

stream from PC to phone and use a ps4/xbox controller with a clip thing. Its what I do

It doesn't work so well in the bedroom in my home unfortunately. Fine for slower turn based games but for an action title like this I don't think I want to put up with the latency.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

It's pretty exciting to have a remaster of this game. After WoW, it's probably my most-played game of all time. I'm weirdly interested to see how it is on console. Hopefully they make use of the Dualsense.

 

[Fake]

I don't see problem Switch running the classic mode. In fact, would be perfect for 720p screen.

Wonder if PS5/SXS will get a decent boost.

 

[Bodomism]

vicarious vision is the developer boys. Get hyped.

 

[Lanrutcon]

I am so curious about the technical details. How are the frame breakpoints going to translate, for example? A lot of mechanics were built around performance limitations back in the day.

They better be the same for that sweet 200fc tele sorc

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

[Virt McPolygon]

Wow, I remember the week the original came out. I was at some overnight camp at a local university. Holy shit has it been 20 years?

It's looking great, though. I don't tend to buy many remakes these days, but I'd definitely revisit this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Sweet, I'll gladly play this on the console if the controls and the UI will be good like in Diablo 3.

 

[daveonezero]

That looks good. I got into this genre with Titan Quest and then later Diablo 3. I had more fun with TQ, Mythos >Torchlight 1 & 2, PoE and Grim Dawn than D3. None of them really had the full package to me but Titan Quest and Grim Dawn for me though. That team knows what's up.

 

[Liljagare]

So they still can't innovate past Diablo 2, and are bringing it back? It's like watching a rerun again.

But, I wager it will sell well since they never made a better game.

 

[HE1NZ]

I like the authentic artstyle, but I can't see myself spending dozens of hours grinding in Diablo again.

 

[SinDelta]

Grim Dawn is the best. Actual findable loot unlike Path of Exile (though Path of Exiles story is interesting in its own way). Tons of stuff to do, end game dungeons, ect.

I'm curious to see how a modern Diablo 2 is.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Exceeded my expectations, I knew Activision would follow through with yet another faithful and true remaster.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Not going to lie, that shit looks hot fire!

 

[DeepEnigma]

I think I liked it more when you couldn't really see their faces in-game

Seriously though, it looks good. But I'm going to laugh when they slap some modesty bras onto Charsi and Andariel lol

Is that Trump?

 

[Spukc]

Overwatch skin, portrait, and spray and StarCraft portraits will be in-game no later than February 18, 2021. Diablo III in-game items will be in-game no later than February 28, 2021..

 

[sn0man]

I’d easily pay more for couch co-op on the consoles. Not that I’m not interested in maybe purchasing at this price.

 

[Paulxo87]

Hell yeah i'm gonna play the fuck out of this. Game was big part of my life back in 2002 lol

 

[TheContact]

i signed up for the tech alpha. hopefully they see my og account and let me in =x

 

[dark_knightmare2]

Le sigh. Diablo 1 would be more exciting for me.

Why waste time with that when Diablo 2 is better in every way

 

[iHaunter]

Le sigh. Diablo 1 would be more exciting for me.

D2: LOD was a far superior game in every aspect.

The good news is they also kept the runes in the game.

 

[daveonezero]

Yeah Grim Dawn is something I want to go back to too. I still haven't played the newest expansion or really got into the one before that. I just kept making new fun build. . I just haven't had a rig to put it on for a while.

How the hell is Diablo IV little kids Diablo

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

There was a reason Blizzard was embarassed that Diablo II had more active players than Diablo 3.

Rest assured, if the game is unchanged but is prettier, I will buy it for the 4th time. But I will wait a bit until i made sure the promises are kept.

 

[Lanrutcon]

How the hell is Diablo IV little kids Diablo

Maybe he meant Immortal?

 

[Concern]

Guess I'll finally get to see what all the hype was about

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

40 bucks? Fuck Yeah.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I just wish we could play 1.09. I'm not sure I have the desire to jump back in from scratch with the final revision they did, even though it looks fantastic.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

Is it naïve of me to hope this releases in the next couple months?

 

[The Hamburglar]

This is great for me. I never really played d2 , tried recently to play it and was far too clunky for me. Loved d3.

 

[I_D]

Obligatory:


D2 is my most-played game of all time. If you were to combine every single other game I've played in my entire life, that play-time is still less than what I've put into Diablo 2.

Needless to say, I'm hyped.

 

[OverHeat]

Preordered and sign up for technical my pc is ready.

 

[Calverz]

Le sigh. Diablo 1 would be more exciting for me.

U can play diablo 1 on ps3

 

[Beer Baelly]

[Kamina]

It better does

 

[NT80]

Any real gameplay updates? Make some of those near useless skills and stats more relevant and add in some new elements. I want what Diablo 3 should've been rather than the same old thing on new platforms.
