Activision-Blizzard's show starts RIGHT NOW, this very second.

Lets see if we get a new Diablo, or Diablo remaster, or anything. Something.

World of Warcraft stuff
Overwatch stuff
Diablo stuff

Hmm, not going to lie, this sincere "geek is chic" vibe is high octane cringe. Don't they know that we are all irony poisoned now, and the way to reach your geek clientele is to be cynical and self deprecating?

And here I was feeling so proud of the Codex for not making a topic about this and not giving this shit company any attention. Oh well...

To be fair I made the thread 5 minutes after it started, so you can say we kind of missed it. Also I am banned from 4chan, so that contributed to me posting here. And I've been finishing all the wine I got gifted for St. Valentines, that may have contributed too.

It's surreal to hear Kermit try to sell me a WoW content patch.

But look, we are doing your favorite story again! Look, we have a new Arthas, and Sylvanas will be redeemed as he falls, it will be like the good old days when you had hair and used to like our games!

 

[Ghulgothas]

Aaaand that's all for today folks!

when remaster of a 20 year old game looks better than in progress new series entry

OLD GOOD, NEW BAD
The remake looks like its Diablo 3 engine anyways.

Also, as I write this, Blizzard does another OLD GOOD NEW BAD thing by having fucking Metallica on lmao
Imagine your company having such low self esteem that all of your offerings are "remember when we used to be good" remakes and self references, and then you end it with a band from before your audience was born. Still, at least its metal.

 

[whydoibother]

fuck im going to sleep, boring show
no cool announcements and no cool blunders

[Daedalos]

yes im preordering D2 remaaster.

fuck u faaags

 

[Rahdulan]

Any good?

 

[Lyric Suite]

They made the Paladin ever darker lmao.

Next remaster he will be an empty black void.

 

[Gerrard]

Any good?

Those characters look like something from a mobile game that is a cheap imitation of some AAA game.

 

[luj1]

Any good?

The use of face algorithms a la TOW is obvious here. Sin, Druid, Pala and Sorceress have practically the same melonhead gamebryo face

Really bad move which robs the characters of what little distinctiveness they had left

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

you just described blizzard's last 10 years.
