Looks dope but GIVE US THE REAL MONEY AUCTION HOUSE again!

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Looking forward to Diablo IV and playing as a Rogue. Hoping this releases in 2022.

 

[PleaseWaitStation4]

Looks great.

Wtf is it with game devs being so damn scared of feminine curves?

Barbarian I get it, the Rogue kinda looks like a skinny boy ( in terms of body, not face ).
Eeeeh, okay... I guess?
But the Sorc?
She'd be the one where it'd actually make sense to push feminine curves and yet she kinda ends up looking like a skinny boy still.
It'd make the characters far more diverse too instead she just ends up being the Rogue but with at least a little bit of fat and not the super skinny anorexic looking chest.

The gear of the male and female Barbarian also looks way too different imo, it makes the male Barbarian look a lot more imposing he basically looks like Conan.
While the female Barbarian in a lot of the same gear covers a lot more which in terms makes her supposedly impressive and strong physique a lot less noticable and less imposing.

 

[Velius]

Lmao

 

[UniformDeliverance]

Holy crap. Those character models look amazing. The way the armor moves naturally with the character rather than clipping.. lighting reflecting off of metals.

This is an ARPG I mean common this is beyond impressive I’m straight blown away. Diablo 4 looks visually astounding.

Where did you see the sorceress model in the new clip ?

 

[cripterion]

Looks fantastic.

 

[Renoir]

Im sure there is going to be and option to pick they/them. lol

As much as blizzard change over the years, one thing stayed the same.. this game going to in a loooooong dev cycle. I don't think I see this game in my life time lol.

I need this game. Plain and simple.

 

[Spukc]

Eww that’s gross

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[GymWolf]

Diablo 3 still looks more impactful.

 

[I_D]

Diablo 3 still looks more impactful.

Agreed, which is disappointing.

Part of it's just that the spells don't look fancy enough, but another major culprit is the sound design.
Basically every hit sounds like a wet squish. That Druid's "tornado" at 2:22 is particularly bad.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Diablo 4 ll flop hard

I was more talking about how impactful the hits look and how enemies fly around when get hit.

 

[sircaw]

Seriously fix the god damn damage scaling numbers, i don't want to see 350 000 damage done to monsters aka diablo3, lower is much better, i want to see my character scale in power slowly and realistically.

Environments, art direction look wonderful, but need to see more on loot systems tbh,

The Paragon system, much better than d3 and not as overly ridiculously bloated as Poe but need to see more of it tbh.

What's the endgame system here, dungeons, need to see that as well.

Overall looking good.

 

[Spukc]

Diablo 4 ll flop hard

Maybe at first.
They won’t kill it

 

[Salz01]

I’m kind of pissed at all the people that complained about D3 being too cartoon like. Now D4 has no color and it’s all grey and brown. I also think POE2 looks better, and more modern.

 

[jaysius]

Watching that newest video, I want to be more excited than I am, the loot system of D2 was taken and abused in so many rotten ways it broke me of wanting to play anything with loot.

Diablo 4 would have been amazing 4 years ago maybe, they fucking slept on it with lazy ports of that rotten Diablo 3.

I don't know if there's a time for Diablo 4 anymore.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

It's been ten years since Diablo 3. How hard can it be to make an ARPG? Apparently very hard lmao.

 

[amigastar]

This and POE2 are my most anticipated ARpgs.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

They where and still are correct. DII Resurrection looks better than DIV at its current form.

I really dislike that it does remind me so much of DIII. Looks more like a refined ad on than a new game at the moment.

The designs are dull as well, only the spider host sticks out for me

 

[Reallink]

Why have they been wasting resources modeling these elaborate characters and monsters that aren't even visible to players? No wonder they have nothing after a decade. It's an isometric game where 1" characters walk into rooms and face roll your keyboard. Even the HUD looks 25 years old.

Details are still important man

Having better graphics is always a plus for me

Looks great! Now I just need controller support day 1 on PC.
