Yesterday, Diablo 4 announced a new quarterly update, which brings about 8 minutes of gameplay and scene demos.
The official introduction is as follows:
The art of Diablo IV is designed using modern technology and physically oriented lighting techniques. As we handcrafted locations for each region of the Eastern Continent, we paid special attention to how they were designed to allow players to fight and explore around, taking into account the storyline and style. To achieve this goal, we used the two main axes of "medieval art" and "return to darkness" to screen concept art, regional locations, and final implementation results. Guided by these two main axes, we successfully created a consistent visual style for Diablo IV.
Judging from the summary content of the "Diablo 4" development quarter released by Blizzard, the game's screen style is more inclined to the effect of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2, and it seems that many people have said that "Diablo 3" is not "diably" enough to have a certain effect.
In addition, the new game will use a completely open world version, and the "jumping off" link that has frequently appeared in the Previous Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 games may no longer be used.
After watching the official introduction, I can't help but think of another similar game "Dungeon Siege" N years ago, and it seems that Diablo has also begun to learn from it.
Judging from the content of several videos released by the official this time, although it can be seen that the official efforts are trying to move closer to the style of Diablo 2, the actual effect does not seem to have much improvement, and can only wait for the final game experience. Is it said that "Diablo 2 Reset" will still be available in China?
