Necro gonna be like $20 minimum.

$20 for 1 character in a game that costs what $30 now? That would be insane. (although it probably is a good guess)

 

[Vital Tundra]

So DIablo 1 in the horrible art style of 3, as well as none of the gameplay mechanics as they were in 1.

 

[Brazil]

Necromancer being paid DLC is a big ha-ha-ha.

 

[TheSeks]

Yay. :/ Hopes of Diablo 2 HD: Dashed.

 

[WarMacheen]

I was hoping for diablo 4....or a remake of 2.

So DIablo 1 in the horrible art style of 3, as well as none of the gameplay mechanics as they were in 1.

based on the limited information, it sounds more like a mod than a remake.

Also was anyone asking for a remake of 1....pretty sure a vast majority of diablo fans wanted 2 if there was to be a remake.

 

[Nirolak]

You do only have eight directional movement!

 

[BruceCLea]

Is this coming to consoles?

 

[Lothars]

We want Diablo 1 with the cartoony look of Diablo 3.

... said no one ever.

It sounds great to me and I've played them all.

Yay. :/ Hopes of Diablo 2 HD: Dashed.

I think it will eventually come just like Warcraft 1 and 2 HD.

 

[Hari Seldon]

So this is a D3 rift with D1 inspired graphical filters? Is that it? That is a whole lot of nothing if true.

 

[serenewarfare]

Speak for your own damn self. The entitlement from Diablo/Blizzard fans is insane.

It's entitled to expect more than a patch and paid DLC more than four years after D3 was released?

 

[The Wraith]

pricing on this is going to be important. 10-15$ seems reasonable.

 

[Nokagi]

Probably try the Diablo 1 stuff then reinstall Diablo 2. Not paying to play the Necro in Diablo 3.

 

[Dog Problems]

pricing on this is going to be important. 10-15$ seems reasonable.

Yeah, that's the price range I'm expecting.

 

[Calcium]

So this is a D3 rift with D1 inspired graphical filters? Is that it? That is a whole lot of nothing if true.

Yes. 16 floors, 4 bosses. This is really not being communicated well.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

That's it?

 

[CaviarMeths]

Lol jfc, the Diablo community is terrible.

Gonna be great, can't wait to replay D1 and roll a Necro.

 

[Obliterator]

Diablo 4 isn't coming until 2025 if the gap between 2 and 3 is anything to go by.

Blizzard have stated they want development to be faster going forward so I really don't see that happening

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm in. Fucking cool way to do the "remakes."

 

[Dysun]

Bummer, really though this was going to be a new expansion pack

 

[Possumowner]

Well I'll be all in on Diablo 'remake' not sure on the Necro though,dependant on cost

 

[SliceSabre]

This isn't what I wanted, not even remotely.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Is the Diablo remake a separate game or is it playable in 3 with your character? As in are they new maps to play in or its own separate thing? Either way this is great news and I'll be reinstalling!

 

[Askherserenity]

Low expectations couldn't save me from this

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Welp, a bit underwhelming considering how psyched I was getting for potential Diablo IV or Diablo III full expansion pack, but not outright disappointed with what's coming, either.

I'll wait and see a bit on the Necromancer, especially waiting for pricing, but I'll gladly play thru the free content that's being thrown in.

 

[Blugrass]

man, bummed about the d1 "remake" news. D1 has such a heavy, intense, creepy atmosphere that i feel will be lost in this simple update...

 

[michaelius]

So sad - I hoped for full remakes of D1 and D2 not trash like this.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

I'm in. Fucking cool way to do the "remakes."

Cheap way is a better way to describe it. Fuck around with Diablo 3 assets in their game editor and boom! Diablo 1 "remake".

 

[Serrato]

The Necromancer ? Nice.

No new Act ? Eh...

Two New Free zones ? Cool.

Necromancer is not free. Boooo!

Diablo 1 in the Diablo 3 Engine and it's only a 16 level Rift.

Overall this is not really good for Diablo :/

 

[batrush]

fond of d1 but no way I'm touching it with d3's shitty art style.

 

[Savitar]

Getting the Necromancer so I'm pretty damn happy.

 

[Calcium]

Is the Diablo remake a separate game or is it playable in 3 with your character? As in are they new maps to play in or its own separate thing? Either way this is great news and I'll be reinstalling!

It's a rift themed like the original game. In Diablo 3, not a separate thing.

 

[Arttemis]

There's so much wrong with the itemization and stat design within D3, but it definitely gives a Gauntlet Legends kind of gameplay that I can enjoy.

I'll 100% be getting this!

 

[Kinyou]

Releasing a single character as dlc feels weird from Blizzard. Would prefer a whole new addon to go with it.

 

[duckroll]

I love how the expectations a mix of the following:
- Diablo 2 Remaster
- Diablo 3 Expansion 2
- Diablo 4

And what we got instead was:
- Diablo 1 Remake in Diablo 3
- Diablo 3 Paid DLC Character Pack

 

[Plague Doctor]

All in!

 

[Hari Seldon]

Low expectations couldn't save me from this

Yeah after all the hype before hand I didn't expect it to be this terrible. D3 is the only blizzard game I don't have installed and this terribleness will not sway me to even waste time installing it.

 

[Askherserenity]

I love how the expectations a mix of the following:
- Diablo 2 Remaster
- Diablo 3 Expansion 2
- Diablo 4

And what we got instead was:
- Diablo 1 Remake in Diablo 3
- Diablo 3 Paid DLC Character Pack

Not even :[

 

[AuthenticM]

we aren't even getting a true D1 remake

this is seriously underwhelming

 

[Flying Toaster]

Eh... anything new or more to Diablo is good in my book.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Fuck Off Blizzard.

Fix the PS4 version before asking for money for dlc, Jesus Christ.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Two free zones sounds cool on paper but if it's anything like the last time they added zones then they were just a new place for bounties and event quests to spawn.

They aren't significantly game changing in any way.

 

[Doomshroom]

Awsome, this is my most played PS4 game. Cant wait to try the necromancer after all Blizzard have been giving us im fine with some paid DLC.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

A playable Necromancer would be nice. I want to know his story and how the character will play out, but I was hoping for more story, and I've found myself skipping conversations anyway since they all lead to the same end. D1 remake will be nice though.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Oh , its a RIFT? with 4 new bosses?

Oh my ......

 

[Metroidvania]

Anything over 10 dollars for the Necro is gonna be bonkers, especially considering RoS going on sale frequently.

But hey, at least it includes two stash tabs!

/s

D1 'rift' is kind of cool, to be fair, but it's not a full-on remake, lol.

But I rather doubt the new zones will be anything significant, going off of precedent.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

- Diablo 4

I never expected Diablo 4 but a Diablo 3 expansion at the very least. A new, paid character, in a game with no new substantial content is pointless.

 

[duckroll]

Wait, Diablo 1 is a RIFT? ROFLMAO.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Rather surprisingly lackluster assortment---I'd really have hoped they'd pull out all the stops for one of the biggest anniversaries they could celebrate all things considered.

 

[Stone Ocean]

A fucking rift lmao

 

[Anno]

Why were people expecting Diablo 4? Or even a full expansion pack? Were there rumours?

It all sounds good to me. More maps are fun and a D1-themed rift sounds coil. Will likely throw in for some necro action as well if it's not too insanely expensive.
