They said that the announcement was not Diablo 4, but I can understand why that would be upsetting if you had your hopes up. Same with Diablo 3, if immortal was named anything besides diablo, it would probably be more accepted, but the fact its predecessor was monumental in the advancement of ARPGs, any title bearing the name Diablo has large expectations. So in conclusion, they hyped up a diablo release (seemingly to sell tickets), ignored a lot of criticism on art direction and atmosphere to make a watered down version of diablo 3, partnering with a foreign mobile game company known for game breaking micro transactions in their game, and pushed it as the next big thing for diablo. Just the presentation was off putting: “nothing brings families together like slaying demons!”. To further the watering down they replaced assets like skeletons that aren’t allowed in China (allegedly), and scraped the witch doctor (possibly to pander to China again). This looked like the same or similar assets, and completely based off diablo 3 (although I’m this kid apparently taking place between d2-d3 but with only D3 characters (D3 barb, D3necro, crusader, wizard, demon hunter, D3monk, and no Druid, Assassin, or Paladin. With diablo three you got a water down game with an updated engine to say the least.

More and more games are stretching out but oh no, Blizzard are some kind of terrible corporate demons for wanting to enter the market as well.įor me - it looked like they were going in the wrong direction. Like a bunch of wanna be hipsters 'Oh I played Diablo when it was only on pc before Battlenet and before it was on your playstations and xboxes! PC master race blah blah blah'įortnite and PubG, Stardew Valley and many others have found a place on mobile to accent and go along with their main player bases.

Hell look at Teppen, it has a huge following all over right now. 'Fans' as I laugh as I type the word as usual were impatient and short sighted. The only fact is that Diablo 4 got pulled back, it was never canceled obviously as we can see by the rumors for this year.

Sounds like you have a keen sense of what people must have been thinking and planning, how long have you been working behind the scenes at Blizzard?īecause otherwise that is a whole lot of total and baseless assumptions. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
