Silverslick · Jun 28, 2008

I'm so happy that this was announced. I've been playing since Diablo 1 :laugh:

Diablo II was also released in 2000, with LoD reseased in 2001. That's a loooooong time ago, tech wise.

Totally true.

WarEagleAU · Jun 28, 2008

Thanks for this. I cant wait to check it out and see what the graphics and such looks like. Diablo 2 was the shit!

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2008

Because of the site being blogged by everyone tying to look at it... IGN is doing a good set-up for it all..

btarunr · Jun 28, 2008

Thanks CS, I'll put it up in the header posts.

ASharp · Jun 28, 2008

Blizzard is amazing. Can't wait for SC2 and D3!!!

The highest resolution in DII is 800 by 600.

If they increase it to only ... say ... 1024 by 768, it will be a disapointment, IMHO.

Not just a disappointment, it would be stupid due to the fact of a hell load of people having LCD's. I doubt for even a second it be res limited. I would of thought it would go 1600x1200 at least.

I wouldn't go that far because there a LOT of monitors that are incapable of that resolution, but i would expect that resolution to be available and, hopefully, an even higher one as well.

Kreij · Jun 28, 2008

It would seem illogical for them to not include 4:3 and widescreen resolutions all the way up to 2560x1600.
But, you never know.

blizzard is smart. just by looking at the graphics you know that the game will play very well on all systems from slow and old to fast and new. the graphics are nice and simple IMO and that really stays with the tradition of the diablo series and really all blizzard games. blizzard spends more time on actual gameplay and improving the overall story and environment than on graphics and cheap thrills. more companies should take this approach.

I'm so pumped up! Did anyone else here know out about the leaked soundtrack back in 2005/6? Someone from the orchestra submitted a pic of one page of sheet music for the theme. Since then I've always had hope.

I think that smiley face did everything I needed to say. Mainly because I've already created a thread on this, and this is more of a repost

Your post actually went more off topic than mine.

This will be awesome as long as battlenet remains free, and LAN play must still be an option.

i second that

Xolair · Jun 28, 2008

I've got to ''nag'' a bit about the graphical style though:

That kind of visual changes certainly would make the game more Diablo and less WoW.

miloshs · Jun 28, 2008

Why oh, why, does it have to look this awesome....
FFS im still playing D2, and i don't mind the graphics...

And now...
