It felt intimidating, because you'd never know what to expect. Diablo I has always been my favorite because it has the best atmosphere, even though Diablo II is considered the best one. If there is one thing I want them to bring back for Diablo IV is light radius. The first one isn't even that dark visually, but the atmosphere and tone is just insanem especually since it was created with basically 0 explicit story or dialogue. If you want REAL dark, take a look at Dark Souls (1 or 3) or Bloodborne. I say unfortunately because I truly lost all faith/hope for Blizzard writing on any level for any franchise (ESPECIALLY Diablo), but that doesn't stop me from D4 being my most anticipated game in a LOOOONG time.
Unfortunately for me the only thing that can really sell anything "dark/gothic/insert edgy cathchphrase here" is the world and story, and that's a pretty delicate line to walk. I can't say I'm sad D4 is darker, but it'll have to earn that atmosphere with a LOT more than just looks and corpses and blood. D3's problem really wasn't it's art style IMO, no matter what the legion of haters say, it's cartoonyness was just a convenient scapegoat for some deeper system issues. To my eyes 4 seems a bit darker than 2 even, since it's more photo-real as opposed to the slightly cartoony look of 2 (not the artstyle, just the sprites as you mentioned), but to me being crazy dark isn't necessarily a good thing in and of itself. Hm, interesting, I never really saw D2 as especially dark, probably because I played 1 first, and 1 was REALLY dark, in pretty much every sense of the word (hellooo light radius). But if Blizzard really wants to make people go apeshit with this game they have to capture that atmosphere. There is something very unsettling about Diablo II's artstyle (and Diablo I as well) that is unique maybe it has to do with the graphical limitations and spritework. If they want it to be dark, as they stated, it has to be DARK. If it's any indication, right now there are 4 or 5 streamers playing the Diablo 4 pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha demo from Blizzcon and they have 50k viewers, while all the hundred of PoE streamers combined have like 1.5k viewers.Diablo IV is veeeeery close to nailing the look the solidified Diablo II as the best in the series, aesthetically speaking.īlizzard needs to cut the PG-13 crap and add more blood, more gore, more dirt. None of those mmo's remains, and WoW is still the most alive game in the genre, in a time where mmo's aren't a thing anymore.
PATH OF EXILE 2 VS DIABLO 4 FULL
Kind of like how for 15 years every new mmo general chat was full WoW-hate, all the wronged souls anticipating how this one mmo, yes, this very one mmo would be the WoW killer. Very few things unite more than banding together in scorn towards the big evil successful companies.
That is, until Blizzard breaks it again, probably, and they flock back crying about how awful Blizzard is to whatever FotM ARPG is around, be it PoE, Lost Ark or whatever random name you wanna give it. The day Diablo 4 appears in the market nobody will even know what Path of Exile is. Diablo 3 made itself obsolete, Path of Exile is merely an alcoholics anonymous fellowship of broken souls looking for a home.
