Insert Title Here Pathfinder: Wrath
That's got to be some kind of sideboob record on the lower Tranazon tho. She's not just going to put an eye out, she's going for the whole skull with that thing.

Details. Seems like pure incline.

- It is actually D2 engine running in background with 3D graphics skin on it, so gameplay is EXACTLY like D2
- You can switch between 2D and 3D as you want just like in starcraft remaster
- it will support pad on PC, k+m is exactly the same
- game will require online connection to start but after than you can play offline
- modding support is in, some small mods should work out of the box bigger ones will need major rework
- when they re-implemented original engine they removed a lot of hardcoded stuff and put those into data files free to be modded
- they are reworking original 26 minutes of FMVs trying to make sure also that they are exactly like original ones in tone etc.
- optional gold autopickup
- they promise battle net will be better secured against duping etc.
- personal stash is twice the size of old one
- there is additional shared stash to transfer items between characters
- 39€ unlike Blizzard we know and free alpha to test it before release

Animations look ultra stiff.

yeah i noticed that. Especially in that tristram gameplay shown. Probably they should have used some physic based model but then again Necro uses a lot of skills with corpses so them flying off would make it hard to play.

Imho amazon, pala and rest of characters are fine. You also had to be blind to not see black pala in original d2.

diablo 2 was the first left click simulator masquerading as an RPG, nothing about this can be incline beyond jerking off your nostalgia.

I have easily 2k+ hours in D2. When i say it is incline, it is incline. The last time i played it was literally like 3 months ago with friend, we spend again like 100 hours in it.

If you want to play currently original D2 on modern system:
- it runs like shit with non locked framerate at 22-25fps, you can run it at proper 30 only with voodoo graphics card, wrapper doesn't fix it
- doesn't have a lot of original lighting engine stuff due to it being voodoo stuff only, you can use wrapper for this which is awfully twitchy.
- game is pixelated due to change in display tech. Game was made with 640x480/800x600/1024 on CRT with screen door effect. Without screen door effect everything is pixelated now.

Only way to play D2 as originally intended in full glorry is to have win 98 and pc with voodoo2

I hope you guys still have your original Diablo II CDs, because the downloadable version is about to get fucked in the ass just like WarCraft III was when Reforged launched.

They confirmed they won't remove it. Moreover it will get patch to make it better run with modern PCs and frankly Resurrected IS old D2 just with some QOL and new graphics that you can change back to old 2D graphics as you wish.

D2 already got kind of support patches for new systems but those were mostly band aids not real fixes.

I watched the remaster trailer for the first time. It actually looked pretty good from that angle. The character selection models are pretty awful though. The made the women hideous, the white men elderly, and the paladin is now kind unholy cross between thriller Michael Jackson and Gary Coleman.

The real test with visually updated armor sets will be if everyone still wants full Sigons.

LOL Thank for Warcraft 3 Reforged, It's seems that reddit also doesn't believe this game will be good.
