They unfortunately said release is "not even Blizzard soon" so it might still be a good ways out. But that cinematic and the art style are such a huge improvement over D3.
The biggest concern I've got at this point is the loot I've seen in streams of the demo looks super simplified like D3. Hopefully that's just lower level gear or stripped down demo gear.
But overall? Pretty damn hyped, the Diablo series is my favorite of all time. I can't wait to see what's discussed in that Systems and Features panel tomorrow at 2:15 central.
That's encouraging, thanks for the report. Runes are confirmed back too which is huge.AtlAg05 said:WGann3 said:

Saw a few legendaries drop on a stream and it was +skill based bonuses. Which was more D2

The gang is going to get back together!!!
What's weird is they talked about developing it for PS4 and XBox One which are both going to be obsolete by what, 2020 Holiday season? Isn't that when the next gen consoles come out for you console people in the know? Seems weird they would develop something for consoles going away in about a year if they weren't going to release it before then but maybe I'm reading into their exact working a bit too much. They very well could just have meant they're developing it for consoles and don't know what the next gen stuff will be called.Tomdoss92 said:

Fair point. I'm probably just trying to justify a speedier release in my head.Chase McGuire said:
The PS4 install base is >100 million at this point. No way they only put it on next gen when they could sell so many PS4/XBO copies. I imagine it'll get a PS5/Nextbox port too, but the next gen install bases won't be very big comparatively for a while. Blizzard will follow the money.
To be fair it's not like '96 or '00 or even '12 scaling the assets will be significantly easier for the next gen boxes and if they can run on PS4 and XBO and those will be backwards compatible then really it's about using the scaled assets with the existing architecture that's supported. Maybe take advantage of any new features offered, but probably not. With online directories this makes life much easier to be able to move from port to port. At least one generation in any event.WGann3 said:Fair point. I'm probably just trying to justify a speedier release in my head.Chase McGuire said:
