While you can still play at good ol’ 800 x 600 resolution, switching on the fly with a push of a button between vintage and modern graphics settings. Of course, no one is against the Remastered version of a classic either.The most obvious difference, naturally, is the fresh 4K lick of paint applied to the visuals. Hopefully, the next time we hear of anything related to this franchise it would be when Blizzard decides to share Diablo 4 news with us.

“They could do it but they will have to go out of their way to ensure that they are simulating the way that the game works in 2D instead of making it 3D, if that makes sense. On a fundamental level that can not be really comprehended unless you’re a programmer that has done this kind of thing before… if they do a Diablo 2 Remaster, it’s going to be difficult to make it feel exactly like the same game”, added Brevik. Because the moment that you change the fundamental way that you interact with the game and you move around the world, you’re changing the game. Everybody would just make 3D artwork and put it on a 3D grid that works except for it doesn’t work. They were nothing like they’re made today. If you do a remaster, this is going to sound terrible, I am going to sound like an old fogey here, but kids these days don’t understand how games were made back then. The blame false on the developers for poorly handling the project which is something Brevik is concerned about if Blizzard announced it’s working on the Diablo II remaster.

We have seen what happened with Warcraft 3, a game universally loved but hated with passion after the remaster release. For instance, the world of Diablo 2 is broken up into tiles.Ĭreating remakes or remasters can be risky at times. I think that remasters are okay, they’re fine, but you have to be really careful with remasters and there’s this delicate balance. I don’t believe a lot of the assets survived.
