First Diablo IV gameplay (PC, PS4, X1). Come share your opinions.

It's coming out for PS4 so it must be next year. Then they'll Rockstar double sell it on the same platform.

There was a piece of concept art shown off during the panel with Lilith where there was clearly a Paladin in the forefront. hrmmmm.

Good streamer. He has no problem being critical about the demo as he plays it. Half the time he is picking out bad things about the game than praising it....... unlike most streamers showing Call of Duty early previews gushing about it.

I believe he was the first in the world to beat D3 on Inferno w/ permadeath. This was at launch when everything was basically centered around using the AH. I remember checking out his streams at the time and he would farm treasure goblins for days on Act II at a particular spot. He knew the mechanics of that game inside and out at the end lol

I... I never got past the beginning of Act II on inferno before they overhauled everything.

Already confirmed by Blizzard. This is a very very early version of the game. It isn't even coming "soon" in blizzard time. 3-4 years out min.

It almost makes you wonder if there IS a D2 Remaster coming soon.


Especially since the game has shown off 3 D2 classes.
 
I honestly believe that this is a cobbled together mishmash of Diablo 2 Remastered assets placed into new environments, created as a direct response to and attempt at diffusing the social outcry at the Hong Kong social outcry.

Heck, the SoJ even has its +1 to all skills stat.

Solid theory. The walking animations even look intentionally stiff like they were trying to recreate the D2 ones.

This is a fucking mess. At the rate they're going, I won't be surprised if Activision ends up just shutting this whole thing down and contracting out sequel development. The resulting games would probably be better than this crap.
 
Looks utter trash. Its basically Devilian (rip) in Diablo's universe without any inspiration attached to it. Itemisation and skills are identical to D3

Outdated on all ends, but its to be expected with Blizz since they ran out of good devs eons ago
 
Well we got a new season coming up in d3 with some pretty insane buffs. Killstreak based 👏😎👏

I am going monk. D4 def gonna take some time

That's a pretty ridiculous claim. To have the game in a state that is playable by the public with 3 classes, 2 main areas and working shared world functionality is a lot of work. I would guess that there is at least 3-4 years work on this public demo already.

It's obviously using an updated version of the Diablo 3 engine. They didn't start from scratch like they did with D3. I'd be embarrassed if what they showed took 4 years for a full team with resources like the one at Activision. Specifically, I think it's based on the console fork with the roll mechanic and modified UI.

It's blatantly cobbled together crap.

LOL. 3-4 years to make a Diablo 2 skin. LAWLLLLLL
 
People are quick to forget how much D3 changes since the initial reveal. The playable D4 prototype isn't even close to reflecting the product we'll see in 2022/2023. I'ts 99% placeholder and smoke & mirrors. You'd have to be some kind of fucking idiot to get upset at a prototype's quality.

No offline mode?!? :(

Nobody thought otherwise, really. Especially now that PVP is a "thing".
 
Good but not enough. I think it must have more fresh gameplay elements, not only just a Diablo 3 reskin.
 
So what happened to Leah after Diablo III?

Diablo claimed her soul? Thats it for her? Damned for eternity ?

She dont deserved this

I think it's more in response to Diablo Immortal.

Is that just for PC, or will the console versions have offline like d3? Not that it's good for any version,but I'd only get the console version since my PC is a piece of crap. If it is like that for all versions, my interest in the game is gone and blizzard can go f themselves.

I can only speculate (it's early days), but I don't know if they'll let offline characters PVP with online characters due to rampant hacking on consoles. Or I could be completely wrong and console characters will all be offline and hacking will ruin the PVP.
 
To me, it was just go here, kill some things and loot some shit. Rinse and repeat. Which I had no problem with.
 
Unless they change their ways of been a shit company I aint coming back for it, Looks waaaaay better than the Warcraft expansion they showed, that was fucking awful.
 
If they really are planning to release this on current gen consoles - I can't see how this comes out in 2-3 years time....

This comes out next year imo.
 


This looks really good. Especially druid gameplay, very fluid combat and seamless transition between forms is beyond awesome.

I'm not sold on Destiny mechanics and shared world, hope we can turn it off.
 
I'm surprised by how many people are saying how good it looks. To my eyes it looks just like Diablo 3 graphics with a darker tone. My eyes or mind must be failing me.
 
Too much WoW gayness

/s

I appreciate the D2 callbacks, no Frozen Orb shown though. Was that Duriel?
Looks more Gothic. If the visuals are a representation of a departure from everything D3 then I'm positive. Give me more variety in the map generation, a proper stat system, a non-garbage item system and PvP in public games, then I'm on board.

edit: item sprites still look like shit IMO, how is it that D2 still has better item art? Wtf really...
