It's easier to analyse what's going on with that simplistic cartoon look. Diablo 4 is putting atmosphere and nostalgia over function.
The intro cinematic look gorgeous to be honest, mood, soundtrack, all. It looks very grim and not epic like D3.
The only problem is the classic good black man for SWJ agenda, but he dies too, so it's all balanced.
Gameplay im not sold about it, the engine feels really unpolished.

Did that Diablo Immortal shit ever get released? Did they dare to mention it's name at all? I haven't heard a damn thing about it since last year's dumpster fire announcement.

Not as bright and colourful as Diablo 3. Looks closer to Diablo 2. Dare I say it looks kind of decent?

By the trailer, looks good. But it will have mmo BS??
When i mean MMO BS, i mean :
- Cooldowns - Cooldowns are the awfulest way to balance a powerfull skill.
- Stats linked on gear. On a RPG stats should measure your character capabilities, i can’t fell immersed in a world where everyone is the same without the gear but can easily change everything about then by changing the cloths. On older fallout games, if you try play with very low int, you barely can talk. Requirements are good for very action focused games. For example, on demon souls to use Long Bow you need 15 STR. Fully draw an longbow requires a lot of strength, that makes sense. Some type of small bonus to not defense coming for armor is fine. But most of stats should be choosed by the player.
- No choices and consequences. For example, if you decide to become an vampire, it should give a lot of power, but make you much more weaker to fire and take sun damage. When i played DkS 2 as a pyromancer. Iron Keep was very hard and it made sense. Other situations become easier as a pyro in consequence of my power to manipulate fire. If you decided to be an paladin, you should ve very powerful against undead but should have some weakness to compensate it. That is how games should work.

what's with all the negative-nancys in this thread. fuck u losers.
This game looks GUD. Cinematic was crazy good, the gameplay was fluid, cool and they nailed the artstyle. Much closer to D2 now, which is great.
Finally the POE killer is here. i'm gon play the FUCK out of this shit

So they're bringing back talent trees, skill points, and rune words... but they had to go and CURRENT YEAR all the playable characters.
WE WUZ BARBARIANS AND SHIT.
I'm honestly exasperated, they were so close to sticking the land but then shoved their foot so far up their ass it comes out their mouth.
I wonder how that meeting went down. "So, we're bringing back all the old characters, and basically doing what the fans asked us to do for years."
"That's cool Bob, but what if we made the barbarian a maori?"
"What?"
"And of course the female version should have maximum manface."
"I..."
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet. The sorceress will be an arab, and the druid will be FAT."
[Everyone]: "STUNNING AND BRAVE!"

For me it's not about there being a dark-skinned character at all, it's changing what was already there. The paladin was there in 2, but that was a new character. Barbarians are a race. They're people from the north. Taking some random guy from Hawaii and calling him a barbarian needs some setup... like a story pitch where you say people came in canoes, raped all of the barbarians, and it's 500 years later. So yeah, it's fucking silly.
In the context of them reviving D2 style and apparently paying service to the fans, this is especially egregious. It just seems like a really weird choice.
I'm equally as upset by them turning the druid into a gay bear, by the way, instead of a literal bear. He should be lean, and then his transformations make him "big"... as an animal, not being a fucking modern bear by default.

Will there be romance option?
Trailer looked good, I would watch movie if one was made to that standard.
