Diablo 2: Resurrected remaster

[Sykar]

Some more copium.

Aamazon jawline was already there in art. The only thing they changed was mostly her chest to not look like 2 bags attached to body.

Still looks like a woman at least unlike that uncanny valley.. thing she is supposed to be now.

(I don't believe) People are saying that the Paladins skin colour wasn't dark, they're saying that the character wasn't Sub-Saharan black, which neither the character model or the official arts shows.

I know this might come as a shock to racist and anti-racists around the world but SSAs isn't the only group with dark skin.

That is just nitpicking at this point. Like i said back then there were no ebony black 3D characters because it always looked wrong which is why they got "brown". In 2D concept art he is ebony black and his actual in game sprite is as well. It is only 3D art where he brownish.

Either way that is just nickpicking at this point. Original argument was that he was either tanned white or muslim which obviously is not true.

Yes! And amazon was not ugly tranny because 3d back then couldn't make ugly trannies!

It is gothic horror game not your shitty animu weebo game. She looks pretty much like amazon would look like. If you look at 3D concept art her face is pretty much the same just made with more definition which made her face look more muscular. Tits got makeover, instead of two lumps of clay she got actual breasts i guess.

What?

I wish more devs did what is being done to D2 (if true). Imagine all of the classics with completely unchanged gameplay & writing, just with UI and graphics adapted for modern systems. Pure incline.

This style of remasters is something i actually love. There are fairly recent phenomenon started by Shadow of Collosus remake by Bluepoit. One of the recent ones is Demon's Souls remake.

I would fucking kill for Fallout 1-2 remasters in same vein.

but moving from 2D sprites to 3D models is already a big game changer to how the game will be played.

Game literally uses D2 engine WITH 2D graphics. What you click on etc in 3D graphics is then translated to 2D game running in background that you can "show" by pressing a button. If you have ever played dwarf fortress with armok vission plugin this is basically what it does.

They also commented on 2D upscaling. From their initial research it would take around 160GB to upscale everything properly to 4k.

If you want to do proper remaster imho this is the best way to do it. Don't fuck with original gameplay rework graphics.

OG Diablo 2 looks fantastic with a bit of modding. It supports widescreen and has a nice scaler. I'm not even going to pirate this shit. Safe to assume it's not going to have any mod support and will require always online so they can kiss my ass.

Except for 24frames framerate taht doesn't work with 60hz screens well, pixelated art that was never intended to look as pixelated as now, lack of graphical effects and stutter present all the time regardless of what you can do.

Also D2R WILL have modding support as well as LAN support. Some smaller mods might work out of the box but big ones will need rework. Game does require online check at start to play though, after which you can play offline.

Ah, shame. If it's literally Diablo 2 but with different graphics then I've no need to buy this as I already own Diablo 2 that looks just fine to me. I was interested in playing a Diablo 2 with some of the gameplay kinks ironed out but if that's not what they are going to do then I'm not the target audience for this.

No one touches Fallout 1 & 2! They run great on a modern system and the graphics remain perfect. Bethesda has done enough to butcher this franchise.

Um you got Nova with the Amazon skin. This is what the actual Amazon looks like in Hots:

Went with Javelin/Shield instead of bow.

After Warcraft 3 Reforged, anyone who preorders this should be tarred and feathered. And just to be sure, tattoo "DUMBFUCK" on their forehead for good measure. 40 euros for a questionable remaster of a 20 year old game. We truly live in the end times.

The only thing Diablo 2 needs is a widescreen patch and auto gold pickup. It's not rocket science ffs.

 

[markec]

Cant wait for DalekFlay to tell us how Amazon looks more realistic this way, that we are bitching over nothing, that we are bad as SJW and how he is too good for this discussion.

Well they are making another Diablo 2 called "Diablo 4". Maybe you should wait for that instead. From looks it seems to be mish mash between 3 games. D1 artstyle and atmosphere, D2 gameplay, D3 combat feel.

The only thing Diablo 2 needs is a widescreen patch and auto gold pickup. It's not rocket science ffs.

As someone who actually dabbled with mods just recently it is harder than actual rocket science. auto gold pickup is only present in median Sigma which is shit tier overhaul mod. widescreen patch only works for 1.13C which really fucking don't like Win10. Moreover it is not comp with glide wrapper to get all lighting effects and perspective. So the widescreen you get is only available on overhaul mods like sigma which is shit and fucks up graphics even more. Path of diablo at least is playable but suffers the same issue as rest of them stutter and shitty 25fps framerate.

Spend like 3 days trying to make D2 to look as original but in widescreen and it was impossible in the end. The only way to play right now D2 with original graphics as intended is to have win98 pc with voodoo graphics card and CRT.

Also none of overhaul mods are comp with putty so fuck you if you want to play single and just loot things.

Looks bland and generic, very mobile-game-like. A move to 3d was a mistake, should have just up the resolution of the spritework. Also lol @ that amazon face, I thought blizzard were at least OK with women being cute in their videogames, but it seems like the joined the manface trend too

Man, this thread is being ruined by petty racist fucks. Again. I suppose they just don't like playing games anymore...

Is it really racist to be amused by the fact they turned the Paladin from a more interesting ethnicity into a stereotypical black American?

Woke arguments aside, it's a much less interesting design.

Because the important question of pixel race constantly occupies my mind while slashing through a gazillion of demons with a low health bar.... *facepalm*

Yes this would really fit with gothic horror D2 game. Shitty anime makeover for amazon.

 

[Reinhardt]

gothic horror

Ugly trannies is not gothic horror. It's body horror. Learn your genres, fag.

I think you should learn first what gothic means. Weeb. Things looking scruffy/bad/weared down including people is part of that astethic.

This chick looks like a Ugly Male Altmer from ES lmao. Perhaps they were TOO faithful.

 

[Faarbaute]

Trannies and black people aside, how could they make the barbarian look so tired, he looks like a bag of shit.

Spoiler

The paladin was always a particularly tan portuguese man, obviosly!

Wrong. That's Nova with amazon skin..

This is what the amazon from Hots (cassia) looked like

 

[ferratilis]

They added turning animations, check how weird it looks at 5:05. Also, it seems there are quite a few FPS drops. And the new UI is terrible.

It was made in time when "strong women" didn't need soyfaced retard onanizing about his design behind it but was just part of design and lore that fit world same as black people. You could see instantly in char maker that sorceress was actually nice looking and amazon was bulky af especially legs.

The slowdown is not actually an FPS drop but game running actually slowed due to D2 engine under it having issues. It is same as in original D2 when those monster die they you get fps drop. 3D graphics engine fps is detached from simulation so instead of FPS you get actual slowdown in gameplay.

On one hand I agree that I think this is a fairly minor issue but it does undermine the world building.

If they wanted to have made an SSA location and character in D2 they could, but they didn't make that.

Where is the bright red lipstick in the new model though?

I just find it amusing more than anything, if you're inferring anything deeper that's on you man.

Next defend sapping all the design identity out of the Assassin and making her the most generic asian woman ever made please. It doesn't even matter if she was originally asian or not before you go down that route, just that they literally took nothing from the original design and call it the same character.
