Diablo 2: Resurrected remaster

[Edija]

This actually looks pretty good and plays well, there's some stuff I dislike. The Paladin run is weird, Amazon is obviously a bad design but don't care too much since Helmet and I'm not gonna coom to any video game characters anyway (possibly the only reason people are raging because the Amazon and Assassin are a little bit more covered up). I think Mrllamasc did a good recape of the current state of the remaster, the gems look like shit, the potions as well. Some of the colors are off, freeze and poison look too bright and shitty, also, some auras look like total shit, for example, Holy Freeze. The teleporter bug has to be fixed asap, the other stuff looks pretty good. Just thank God Blizzard isn't doing this in house it would be a bigger disaster than w3 reforged.

generic skelly in robe with soulstone hole made no fucking sense

What? It's Prince Aidan from D1, now the Wanderer. The dude you chase the entire game. Makes plenty o' sense

I don’t understand, the prince is dead after you kill Diablo, victim of summoning Diablo. A Wanderer is YOU.

Spoiler

The prince from Diablo I is named Albrecht.

He's talking about (the utterly nonsensical) retcon from Diablo 3, where the Warrior/Dark Wanderer is depicted as king Leoric's *elder* son Aidan. Who also fucks with Adria the Witch. Just because (I said it's utterly nonsensical, didn't I?).

Glad I never got D3. It was obvious from D2 that the Dark Wanderer is your character from D1, most likely the Warrior, as both Rogue and Mage sort of shows up in Acts 1 and 2.

Odd you can kill diablo in 1 as Rogue ir Mage and get their cutscene. I guessthey just wanted a goid story for D2 so Warrior is possessed, Rogue goes bad I guess, and mage goes nuts. Monk didn't happun'.



No monk one...


All three were tards. It didn't occur to them to take it to Cain or destroy it? Derp.

I think the implication was that it was either bind Diablo in someone or Diablo gets released, and you had a few minutes at most to decide.

Where the fuck is she going? What's her stalker up to? Does she have the same hairdresser that Goku & Vegeta have?

"The East is beyond your grasp."
"Die, maggot."
"Fear me!"

Andariel and her sexy bedroom talk.

More importantly how did she get to act 2? Warriv?

All three were already corrupted at that point, I think.

 

[Grotesque]

I'm 100% convinced that David Brevik's Tim Cain's true passion project in life were Diablo/Diablo II Fallout and after that he just kept spinning his wheels and never gave a shit about anything again which reflects how he did nothing really significant after. Last I checked he was developing some run-of-the-mill indie pixel art game shooter that's like Terraria Serious Sam or whatever.

you and luj1 should join forces and write the manual of how to be a sower cunt on the Codex.

 

[Luka-boy]

Blizzard did have a weird fixation of making box art covers of you holding a staring contest. Diablo, Starcraft (all three), Brood War, Diablo II, Lord of Destruction, Warcraft III's covers. I would also say Diablo II had the best of that particular style.

But the best Blizzard box art will always be Warcraft I and Warcraft II's.

Spoiler

Where instead, we got an orc and a human holding the staring contest

Yeah I think that's a good reason. All three were messing around with weird shrines, spell books, saw disturbing images and Lord of Terror also probably had mind-changing aura. Archbishop Lazarus was corrupted by it, Lachdanan was an exception. Also remember how Baal influenced Marius to release him from Tal-Rasha tomb? Or how Mephisto corrupted paladin order in Kurast?

Or they just needed a cliffhanger because they were planning on a sequel.

It was my interpretation that the 'spirit' compels them to slam the thing into their own head so Diablo can return again, while the hero thinks they are containing it before slowly going crazy (the dead kid convulses and then looks at them just before the hero briefly considers the soulstone). But there's probably some official canon reason.

Prolly, didn't he indicate he'd like to bang that bitch?

[Gregz]

At least she still has tits

 

[Gargaune]

Does anyone has a screenshot with Andariel from behind in the original D2?

Here:

WTT It Was Aliens for Slurp This Person's Delicious Asshole buttons.

Grotesque what's the context with the tweet? they are modifying animations / models in the base game, or re-examining the implementation of the amazon in resurrected?

One of the original Condor / Blizzard North leads who worked on Diablo 2 dusting off old game files he has kicking around and cleaning up the animations. He's not involved in the remake.

Shenk the Overseer needs to be a consultant.

I don't know much but I guess because of the late controversy with the amazon, this guy (that was a producer on Diablo 2) now has the opportunity to show some assets and some skin!

 

[Grotesque]

oh man!

those big tits on the amazon!
and they look like the'yre just painted over!

Old style CG works so good with high fantasy, clean and smooth yet detailed and shiny. It's perfect, you'd expect indies try to emulate that look with real time graphics to save time working on textures but alas.

 

[Gargaune]

So... mods will fix it?

I think the necessary skillset might be lost in this day and age.

Lessons learned and obviously not since it looks Not Ready For Prime Time. This is why I don't care much for remasters. It's inevitable that screwups will be made.
