Nh608sGBqFĬontroller play on PC is also enhanced by the fact that the game has a “low vision mode” mode, which enlarges text so that you won’t have to squint in order to read onscreen text while playing the game at a distance…Īnd when it comes to gameplay, Diablo II veterans will surely appreciate the enlarged stash too.
The original Diablo II didn’t have controller support and could only be played with keyboard and mouse, but Diablo II: Resurrected will let you plug in a compatible controller and have fun from your couch, enjoying a completely redesigned interface for the Xbox controller on PC (the console versions are obviously optimized for gamepad play, of course).īring some friends to perish alongside you.ĭiablo II: Resurrected is coming September 23rd. Other quality of life improvements are also present in the remaster. The original graphics can be seen on the left in the image below.īlizzard has proven to be masters when it comes to creating cutting edge video game cutscenes, so it’s a good thing that the almost 30 minutes of cinematics in the game have been redone in high resolution, with Blizzard surely to deliver high-fidelity visuals in tune with the game’s modernized graphics.Īnd sound has also been a highlight in the Diablo games – sound effects and music were pitch perfect in both the original Diablo and its sequel, therefore Blizzard is definitely paying attention to this aspect of the game in the remaster, upping its fidelity to modern standards and providing support for Dolby Surround 7.1 audio too. Also, as you might expect, animations are much more fluid than in the 2000 game, while character models are no longer 2D, but fully 3D.īlizzard’s own comparison below shows how far we’ve come in terms of graphics, but nonetheless, purists can still switch to the original visuals during gameplay by hitting a button, a feature which Blizzard also delivered with its StarCraft remaster in 2017.
Regarding the game’s graphics, these have been remade from the ground-up with support for 4K resolution. The thing is, Diablo’s sequel looks a bit long in the tooth now, and surely in need of some quality of life enhancements too… This is why fans of American developer Blizzard were ecstatic when the company announced that it would be remastering the game last year.Īnd the company recently revealed that Diablo II: Resurrected (the remaster’s name) will be hitting shelves on September 23 this year, and will be available not only on PC (via Blizzard’s service) but on consoles as well. The much-anticipated sequel to the 1996 classic Diablo turned out to be a great follow-up to the original, delivering more of the same hack and slash, action RPG gameplay that fans loved in the first game.
Back in 2000, Diablo 2 sure caused a stir.
