@@emmw7794 Nah, 20 years of nostalgia has ruined it. If this was the game we played at the time, we'd find anything else "ruined". D2 should not be remastered, but a complete remake with new systems and quality of life upgrades would be welcome.
@@Darbobski sort of how Diablo HD is, which is fantastic. What's great with such a remake is that there is still a value in playing the original, but the remake is so. worth. playing. It has a lot to do with the added cut content, which is like nostalgia on crack, but also quality of life upgrades and straight up added systems (many from D2, obviously. The waypoints is a bit of a mood killer though).
Now both David Brevik and Mike & co are making what sounds like very passionate publishing companies. I'm all for it, and best of luck to them! All these fan-made projects and features show that a proper Diablo 2 remaster is absolutely possible. I really hope you're right, Rhykker, and we finally get a solid remaster next year. If not, I can't imagine it being long before someone beats Blizzard to the chase! :)
great for Morhiem! hope he and his team will help guide the industry back to its roots - making great games, that ppl want to play and remember fondly even decades later, isntead of the current profit-before-everything-crunch-time-for-developers-and-super-bonuses-for-exes mentality
The Warcraft movie wasn't bad. like, many scenes were still pretty cool, the story was great but the passing was awful. Long story short, it had great potential and everyone could agree, the execution was just laking. I would love to see a more experianced story teller and director for the next movie.
The Warcraft movie should have been made as a Netflix series instead or something. It is impossible to cover such massive story, in a coherent way, within roughly 2 hours of movie.
Honestly just get rid of the live actors. The cg is the movie was great and orcs were the best part. The human actors just contrasted so badly beside them that it was really jarring.
@@MrGoblinX honestly WoW doesn't work in live action. Blizzard has some of the most talented animators and modellers in the business. A WoW CGI animated mini-series would be the right path.
Guys, if you need an old-school Fallout1/2 fix, I STRONGLY recommend Fallout: Nevada. It is an F2 mod, with excellent quests and dialogue. At times it suffers from inconsistent quality of its Russian to English translation, but the overall feeling of Fallout 1 is very well preserved.
has any got any idea when the update will go live, me and my brother started the game on ps4 three days ago and we are reaching GR60 right now, just curious as to the fourth cube slot, we each have a few items that we could use
People have said that for over a decade. Reality is even if they fully 'sell out' they'll still be successful as there are millions of consumers who will buy shit products. We can't fight shitty game devs with our wallets because many scabs will buy the shitty games anyway.
@@Forscythe80 I have a coworker who likes playing Starcraft/Warcraft and he's bought the SC remake but he was still undecided on WC Reforged (not because of reviews but he has a big backlog of games he hasn't played) and I've done everything I can to dissuade him from buying reforged bc of all the BS attached to that game.
@@Forscythe80 well, yeah, they have said that for over a decade, and have been right for over a decade, Blizzard is full on undead, absolutely no soul, just consuming everything in its path like a scourge, sure they will still be financially successful, until they suck the fanbase and the franchises dry... there is a lot of blood in there yet to be sucked, but they're getting there. Here's hoping that all the soul comes to dreamhaven and makes good games again
I'm so sad that Activision/Blizzard can't be bought out! T_T Activision is KILLING the gaming community one game at a time T_T EA is also killing the gaming community one game at a time =T
1:58. Easy decision for me. I don't play early access anything. Ever. I've had a couple of instances in the past where I've been let down with games that turned out to be okay in the end. I don't want to be a bug tester. So gaming experience, if it's story driven, etc. I want the full finished product when it's done. It might mean I have to sometimes wait a long time before experiencing something but I'm in no hurry. Plenty of games to play.
You can easily go ahead and play BG3 EA as DOS2 EA was nowhere near as to what DOS2 release is besides a few major plot points. Gameplay was different, skills were different, npc interactions were different. I think it's cool to experience both sides.
Very, very happy to hear about Mike Morhaime and Crew getting back together. They have INSANE talent on their side, and the right moral values. Gonna be big while valuing the small things. I hope more Blizzard big wigs join them instead. Maybe down the line acquiring some IPs...well...a dude can dream...haha Or Blizzard could just be good again 4Head ...yeah
So Mike Morhaime rides again and he has lots of the crew back. The expertise is there, the need to make new gaming products is there. So, when are they finally getting Chris Metzen to finally come out of retirement and be the ubergeek that gave us all these beautiful stories?
I suggested a 4th Global Kanai cube slot where you can choose anything couple years ago, explaining the advantages in topic. I thought it was much more creative way than a regular power creep with endless number buffs. Well way too late for me as im done with D3 quite some time ago. Keep rocking Grim dawn
It doesn't show what happens in Warcraft 1 game, it is more of a prequel to Warcraft 1, with some overlap if I recall this right (it's been a while since I watched it). They would have to deal with remainder of Warcraft 1 game before moving to second part.
Mike's new companies will definitely make an RTS and we SO need of new Good classic RTS games! all the members running in the company are ex RTS experts mostly!.
i would wait till the full release of baldur's gate 3. but with that comes the problem of having to avoid spoilers till the release. but at least if you wait you can play all day everyday till you finish it without breaks.
A regular, sane, individual should heed these words. But unfortunately, for someone in Rhykker's position, he should likely play the early access chapter. It's sort of his trademark to be on the cutting edge of this niche market. He is also in a position where his feedback will likely be heard by the developers. I feel that Rhykker is a man's man (or a gamer's gamer) so I'm confident his feedback will be for the betterment of the project.
Heres why you SHOULD play bg3: Its the ultimate excuse to do a truly evil character. In their 1h30m panel from hell the lead writer specifically said that some his favorite scenarios and dialogues only happen after evil player choices. Plus...you help make the game better.
Baldur's Gate is an epic story and the largest part is the narrative and experience. If you are the kind of person who would enjoy reading the first three paragraphs of a novel, then putting it down for half a year and starting reading it again then go for it an play the early access, but otherwise if you pick up a great book and start reading then can't put it down till it is done then perhaps it is best to wait.
Cyberpunk 2077 aside I haven't been this excited (that is to say feel a literal adrenaline surge in my body) over game related news for about a decade until you mentioned Mike Morhaime formed his own company. MY GOD there is hope after all!!!!! I am going to fully support him and his crew. Can't wait to see what they have in the works. Aragorn: "There is always hope"
Hey Rhykker I have heard of now three diablo 2 remasters//mods. This one, path of Diablo, and Project diablo. My thought is what do u think of splitting interests? Comparison of the different diablo mods could even make a whole video. Especially cause Path and Project are remarkably similar it seems like.
Median really isn't a D2 remake in the sense of remakes its more of an overhaul mod. Now yes more people need to talk about it because i play it more than the orignal D2 at this point.
Hey Rhykker, this is folks. RUclips seems to be getting too comfortable with these non-skippable ads. Well the early access for BG is just the first act out of like what four or five? SO it might not hurt to try it but I dunno if you want to stream it since others might want zero interaction with it until its 100% out. The WoW movie was fine, a sequel would be fun. If Morhaime can make an environment where devs don't have to crunch, can make what they want with no "triple A" money grubbing influence and just make good games and if they sell well, maybe we can finally have an example that the bullshit behaviors of studio management and publishers can't be tolerated any longer and they should just let devs develop without bending the knee to share holders and board of directors that don't even freaking play games. Me as a PC player when I hear Microsoft bought Bethesda: (*´ー`)旦 Kinda glad the Alert level doesn't go up when you kill monster anymore, there's at least one type of monster that the Rogues aggro on regardless of how much you tried to sneak by it and it was one of the monsters that alerted other monsters. Overall I'm having fun with this season, I missed the last season and some of the new builds on the forums are pretty insteresting.
You should check out Reign of Terror. It's a conversion mod for Grim Dawn converts it to D2 (the classes, spells, items, dialogue, music, quests, runes, cow level). I have zero faith in anything from Activision so this might be the best modern D2 we could ask for.
D2 LOD Remaster -Graphics: I love the graphics of Diablo 2 LOD. It’s one of the biggest reasons I love the game. I love how it looks like a painting. I love the pixel art. The art of this game has its own unique style. I wouldn’t want the game to become 3D smooth, or anything like that. Changing the graphics, to me, would almost be like taking a photo of somewhere that Van Gogh or Monet painted, then saying that (since the photo looks more real) we can get rid of the paintings. Maybe some auras (and other effects that look like mist or fog) could be a little more smooth so we don’t see the gradient. Maybe the water too, so we can’t see the larger squares that make it up. It would look a lot better to remove the flame shadows that are on the ground with some fires/torches. The green birds in Act 3 freeze a lot. Maybe just change the color of the health orb, for poison, instead of your character turning solid green. Maybe some patchy whiteish areas on your character for being frozen instead of solid blue. The poison and frozen effects could be changed in the same way for the monsters too. I’m just thinking that there could be a way to make these effects look more subtle. That would keep with the realistic feel of the game. If they make the screen bigger then I think they should make the maps bigger. Hopefully they would keep the mechanic of the monsters being triggered just off screen. They’d then need to space the monsters out so we don’t get attacked by impossibly huge mobs. If they made the screen bigger but still kept the monsters being triggered at the borders of the original screen size (they’d just be standing around), the game would feel less alive to me. I would rather the screen actually get bigger than it just being a zoom out. I like the size of the characters. -Remove bots and dupes from Diablo 2 LOD. -Skills: I like the skills. Fix bugs. -Stamina: I’m okay with taking stamina out of Diablo 2 LOD. I would still like to be able to switch between walking and running though. -Potions: I love the potions the way they are. I love how Diablo 1 and 2 LOD have an alchemy feel to them. There could be better throwing potions though. -Loot: I love it the way it is. I love the race for it. People can play with friends and share. I also like the rarity of items. It makes them special. -Gold: I like picking up gold the way it is. I think Diablo 2 LOD should stay a point and click game. I feel like it has a better look and feel than running around over a bunch of piles of gold (auto pick up). A lot that I love about Diablo 2 LOD is the way it looks to play. I don’t feel like running over the gold would make it that much faster. I also like that I can leave the gold for other players without having to drop it for them. I don’t like AOE gold pick up because it kinda takes away from the race to loot. I like that feeling of being in combat and trying to pick up gold at the same time. I like when we’re all trying to pick it up (dangerously) before everyone else like a bunch of greedy treasure hunters. Gold seems to be one of the most talked about changes. If it does change, I would rather go with AOE gold pick up. Here’s my suggestion for the way it would work: When hovering the mouse over a pile of gold, all of the other gold piles within a certain distance are highlighted as well. Clicking on just one of those piles will pick up all of the other highlighted piles. Some people feel that gold, in general, is not very important. I disagree. I use gold a lot. I especially love to gamble. -Higher Difficulty: I would love it. Also, in a private game, we should be able to make the game players 8 difficulty. -Accounts Never Expire: That would be great. I don’t have time to play very often. -Stash: I would love an infinite/shared stash! -Character Tab: The character tab should be accurate, and more could be added to it. -More Items: More of every kind of item could be great. Monsters were originally supposed to drop body parts that could be used for crafting items. I love that idea, and I would love to see more crafting recipes. -New Act/Classes: I wouldn’t like a new act, but it would be great to add the Rogue, Sorcerer, and Warrior (from Diablo 1) as new classes to Diablo 2 LOD. It could be nice to also have the option to play as the opposite sex of each class. Maybe instead of another act you could still basically play Diablo 1. I’m not talking about adding the story of Diablo 1 in. I just mean make steps down into the destroyed Cathedral. Then have the areas of the Cathedral, the Catacombs, the Caves, and the Hell area with Diablo 1 music and Diablo 1 monsters. Also, there was originally supposed to be a battle.net town. That would be great. Thank you so much for reading!
My Blizzcon online predictions are that they will show a whole lot of stuff that is years away. However i am hoping they will give solid release dates for stuff they are working on since Blizzcon is usually a big deal.
Love the passion fan projects, nothing but respect. But gotta say that that proof of concept demo is very...well...mh, I'll say 'not good looking from a visual standpoint'. The original looks way better even 20 years old and pixelated. That looked like someone slapped some gifs with different fps on top of another. Good project for improving skills though, I think. And the music does sound good!
@rhykker - About Baldurs Gate, wait for the full thing.. it's not so black and white of course, but i like to quote Mr Shigery Miyamoto here “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”

InXile is also owned by microsoft now. Brian fargo is there and i think some of the fallout 2 staff. They released wasteland 3 which is the mosz falloutish game i have played in the past
Last time I heard about a key developer/manager leave a the development studio they helped build to build a new studio because they couldn't get along with the parent company, that parent company managed to get the rights to publish their games, then mishandled the publishing of the sequel, putting the company in financial difficulty, forcing the new company to accept the publisher's buyout offer. All the work to get out of being in a company that's owned by EA, just to end up selling the new company to EA. I really hope that Dream Haven has better luck with cutting their ties to Activision.
I still wish Bliz would make a full cgi movie. Think Warcraft would have been better without the live action side. Really surprised they didn't do it for Overwatch with how easy that would have been for a wider audience.
Yeah I buy all micro transactions in every game I get. Sometimes it goes upwards of hundreds of dollars, but I want to support the companies. I dont really care.
Dreamhaven's "crunch time" is when everyone starts doing sit-ups to burn off the excitement that their newly released game doesn't require a day 1 patch and sold over a million copies.
So while Epic is playing footsies with Apple, Microsoft swoops in and gobbles up premium market share. Who in their right mind wouldn't go for an Xbox Game Pass now?
Great, this is like BLizzard 2.0 (minus the greed and satan ruling over it) I hope more BLizzard devs join the new teams! The king is dead. Long live the KING!
I just want Diablo 2 with a control scheme more in line with D3 and Path of Exile. I just want to use different buttons to activate skills rather than switching with the F-Keys.
My prediction is Diablo 5 will be announced to come out before Diablo 4

It's a conversion mod for Grim Dawn converts it to D2 (the classes, spells, items, dialogue, music, quests, runes, cow level).
I have zero faith in anything from Activision so this might be the best modern D2 we could ask for.
any news if the Necromancer is in Diablo 4? Thats all I ever want to know :)
D2 >> D3
Blizzard used bags of money! It's super effective!
Microsoft used dump-truck convoy of money! Sony Fainted!
Wishing Mike Morhaime the best. I would love to shake hands and thank him for the wonderful games from my youth.
D2 LOD Remaster
-Graphics: I love the graphics of Diablo 2 LOD. It’s one of the biggest reasons I love the game. I love how it looks like a painting. I love the pixel art. The art of this game has its own unique style. I wouldn’t want the game to become 3D smooth, or anything like that. Changing the graphics, to me, would almost be like taking a photo of somewhere that Van Gogh or Monet painted, then saying that (since the photo looks more real) we can get rid of the paintings.
Maybe some auras (and other effects that look like mist or fog) could be a little more smooth so we don’t see the gradient. Maybe the water too, so we can’t see the larger squares that make it up. It would look a lot better to remove the flame shadows that are on the ground with some fires/torches. The green birds in Act 3 freeze a lot.
Maybe just change the color of the health orb, for poison, instead of your character turning solid green. Maybe some patchy whiteish areas on your character for being frozen instead of solid blue. The poison and frozen effects could be changed in the same way for the monsters too. I’m just thinking that there could be a way to make these effects look more subtle. That would keep with the realistic feel of the game.
If they make the screen bigger then I think they should make the maps bigger. Hopefully they would keep the mechanic of the monsters being triggered just off screen. They’d then need to space the monsters out so we don’t get attacked by impossibly huge mobs. If they made the screen bigger but still kept the monsters being triggered at the borders of the original screen size (they’d just be standing around), the game would feel less alive to me.
I would rather the screen actually get bigger than it just being a zoom out. I like the size of the characters.
-Remove bots and dupes from Diablo 2 LOD.
-Skills: I like the skills. Fix bugs.
-Stamina: I’m okay with taking stamina out of Diablo 2 LOD. I would still like to be able to switch between walking and running though.
-Potions: I love the potions the way they are. I love how Diablo 1 and 2 LOD have an alchemy feel to them. There could be better throwing potions though.
-Loot: I love it the way it is. I love the race for it. People can play with friends and share. I also like the rarity of items. It makes them special.
-Gold: I like picking up gold the way it is. I think Diablo 2 LOD should stay a point and click game. I feel like it has a better look and feel than running around over a bunch of piles of gold (auto pick up). A lot that I love about Diablo 2 LOD is the way it looks to play. I don’t feel like running over the gold would make it that much faster. I also like that I can leave the gold for other players without having to drop it for them. I don’t like AOE gold pick up because it kinda takes away from the race to loot. I like that feeling of being in combat and trying to pick up gold at the same time. I like when we’re all trying to pick it up (dangerously) before everyone else like a bunch of greedy treasure hunters.
Gold seems to be one of the most talked about changes. If it does change, I would rather go with AOE gold pick up. Here’s my suggestion for the way it would work: When hovering the mouse over a pile of gold, all of the other gold piles within a certain distance are highlighted as well. Clicking on just one of those piles will pick up all of the other highlighted piles.
Some people feel that gold, in general, is not very important. I disagree. I use gold a lot. I especially love to gamble.
-Higher Difficulty: I would love it. Also, in a private game, we should be able to make the game players 8 difficulty.
-Accounts Never Expire: That would be great. I don’t have time to play very often.
-Stash: I would love an infinite/shared stash!
-Character Tab: The character tab should be accurate, and more could be added to it.
-More Items: More of every kind of item could be great. Monsters were originally supposed to drop body parts that could be used for crafting items. I love that idea, and I would love to see more crafting recipes.
-New Act/Classes: I wouldn’t like a new act, but it would be great to add the Rogue, Sorcerer, and Warrior (from Diablo 1) as new classes to Diablo 2 LOD. It could be nice to also have the option to play as the opposite sex of each class. Maybe instead of another act you could still basically play Diablo 1. I’m not talking about adding the story of Diablo 1 in. I just mean make steps down into the destroyed Cathedral. Then have the areas of the Cathedral, the Catacombs, the Caves, and the Hell area with Diablo 1 music and Diablo 1 monsters. Also, there was originally supposed to be a battle.net town. That would be great.
Thank you so much for reading!
Sorry Obsidian is not Black Isle. One or two employees does not a studio make.
Black Isle-> Troika -> Obsidian. I don't know how much of the original team is still there anyway.
My Blizzcon online predictions are that they will show a whole lot of stuff that is years away. However i am hoping they will give solid release dates for stuff they are working on since Blizzcon is usually a big deal.
haha what a joke that was. Yeah, solid release dates. I know better now.
Hate the trends for ARPGs to have resource and health bars on one side of the screen.
video ends
hey folks, that was Rhykker
Sandstorm would've been a good publisher name competing against Blizzard. Also it would be a familiar name to the fans.
Rhykker you should seriously change it to one that Norton and Life lock is offering since it is one company now also has a VPN too boot.
I hope Mike's new company will be the new "Blizzard" that we all loved growing up!!!
WOW!!! Amazing fan remake >_>
Love the passion fan projects, nothing but respect. But gotta say that that proof of concept demo is very...well...mh, I'll say 'not good looking from a visual standpoint'. The original looks way better even 20 years old and pixelated. That looked like someone slapped some gifs with different fps on top of another. Good project for improving skills though, I think. And the music does sound good!
If diablo 2 remaster is announced at the next blizzcon, don't you think the d2 fangame will be in trouble ?
@rhykker - About Baldurs Gate, wait for the full thing.. it's not so black and white of course, but i like to quote Mr Shigery Miyamoto here “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”
InXile is also owned by microsoft now. Brian fargo is there and i think some of the fallout 2 staff. They released wasteland 3 which is the mosz falloutish game i have played in the past
Most Fallout-ish game you played _in the past_ ? But it was Released this year =[
@@abnnizzy yea yea, in the past weeks. I know, my english sucks
Last time I heard about a key developer/manager leave a the development studio they helped build to build a new studio because they couldn't get along with the parent company, that parent company managed to get the rights to publish their games, then mishandled the publishing of the sequel, putting the company in financial difficulty, forcing the new company to accept the publisher's buyout offer. All the work to get out of being in a company that's owned by EA, just to end up selling the new company to EA. I really hope that Dream Haven has better luck with cutting their ties to Activision.
"Warcraft movie tailored to china audience"
That means no zombies, skeletons, arthas story etc... i have no high hopes.
Thank God there is now a possiblity for Fallout to return home
I still wish Bliz would make a full cgi movie. Think Warcraft would have been better without the live action side. Really surprised they didn't do it for Overwatch with how easy that would have been for a wider audience.
Just buy baldurs gate 3 during early access to get it cheaper and then wait for it to be fully released to play it.
I dont even care what Morhaime sells im gonna buy it just to give the ppl there more money to work with.. gimme good old games back!
Yeah I buy all micro transactions in every game I get. Sometimes it goes upwards of hundreds of dollars, but I want to support the companies. I dont really care.
@@wildwest1832 /s?
Dreamhaven's "crunch time" is when everyone starts doing sit-ups to burn off the excitement that their newly released game doesn't require a day 1 patch and sold over a million copies.
That Diablo Respawned looks amazing. Definitely going to try it out.
So while Epic is playing footsies with Apple, Microsoft swoops in and gobbles up premium market share. Who in their right mind wouldn't go for an Xbox Game Pass now?
Great, this is like BLizzard 2.0 (minus the greed and satan ruling over it)
I hope more BLizzard devs join the new teams!
The king is dead. Long live the KING!

Hey, have you ever heard of Malus? It’s worth checking out
Really enjoyed the first Warcraft movie. Dunno why critics didn't dig it. It's not high art or anything, just a fun fantasy action flick.
Damn, did i just started snowball effect? :D
I just want Diablo 2 with a control scheme more in line with D3 and Path of Exile. I just want to use different buttons to activate skills rather than switching with the F-Keys.
This has always been possible, go to settings - management
The last WC movie was good. It should've been a box office success if Legendary didn't spend $200mil advertising in China.
@M B Except its other way around.We only got easter eggs and they shit on the actual lore xD
XD
@@redpandaarara4259 What do you mean by that? What major part of the lore did they mess up? Garona had sex with Lothar instead of with Medivh?
Wait for the full release. Even if it's just the first act, don't spoil the story for yourself
wait till Baldurs Gate 3 is fully released to play the full story
It's worth playing the bg3 early access lvl 1-4 in dnd is a lot of content
Thank you Rhykker!
The running animation in that proof of concept is painful to watch.
Looks like one of those early SC2 builds. Solid tho
