I'm more excited about this than any video game that's come out in the past 10 years.
I was a big enough nerd and sank enough time into the original to be ranked on the USEast Ladder a few times.
Diablo 2? Shouldn't it be #4 by now?
Is this just a remake of the previous one or what?
This isn't a new game, it's a "remaster" of an old game. Blizzard has done a similar treatment for Warcraft III, Starcraft/Brood Wars, and helped with the Crash Bandicoot remaster.
Updating the graphics, resolution, and compatibility with modern OSes for old games is very much in vogue of late. Diablo IV is in process, but it's Blizzard and their claim that it "might be released in '23 or '24," means that we probably won't see it until December 2026.
I've got D3, Reaper of Souls, the Necro add-on, and have played several Seasons, but there's only so many Greater Rifts you can grind through, before you get bored.
I welcome something "new" and for the PC, in the Diablo universe, after the Diablo Immortal announcement debacle a couple of years ago. <crickets>
Eh, I'll try it I guess. Doing Pindleruns and Meph runs gets old though. Grim Dawn has a port for D2 that isn't half bad.
That's sort of how I feel. All these reboots. I mainly stick to Path of Exile as my go-to ARPG game. Anything else just seems inferior.
Diablo 3 pissed me off too much. I found it got boring, really fast.
Funny you mention Westwood. Dune II was my first ever PC game. That's how it all started for me. Name represents more than just a company name for me. I was a major player of C&C. That's my go-to handle for any game I ever play.EA has owned Westwood since the early aughts, I was a big fan of the Command & Conquer series, and recently got EA's remastered version of Red Alert 2, it's been pretty fun, but I haven't played any other remasters. Blizzard started adding their OG games on Battle.net a few years ago, I think I bought a Win10 compatible version of Warcraft III for $10 and they offered the original version of Starcraft for free during an anniversary, I think. I've been content with my 640x480 256 color nostalgia on my laptop.

My buddies and I had a good time playing Diablo 3 on the PS4. Will keep an eye on this. Will they be making it for PS4, cause I'm sure as fuck not buying a PS5 until they're either dirt cheap or I finally decide I need one... Not like I have any time for video games anymore anyhow.
I can't wrap my head around playing games like Diablo on a console, give me a mouse and keyboard!
Is the PS5 not going to do like the Xbox's "Smart Delivery?" I haven't bought a console game since Doom '16, but briefly considered a new Series Alphabet Xbox to replace my Xbox One for Halo Infinite, but since Microsoft is allowing backwards comparability with Smart Delivery, I'm not wasting my money on a new console for a single game. Our TV is a 46"1080p 240hz, that still has a phenomenal picture, new Xbox doesn't offer enough advantage over what I've got to justify it.
Anyone play the Beta last two weekends?
