I like the idea but... what the heck with the specs?! How is it necessary to have anything higher than an iGPU for that level of graphics complexity? Is it running on Crysis' first engine?

If Diablo 3 is anything to go by, it'll be using a criminally inefficient engine. But also it'll have more detail than you think, you'll be able to zoom in and see quite a few things from what I've heard. We'll see.

Though I have no doubt you'll be able to crank the details down to nothing and run it on a potato. I wouldn't worry about that. The game still has Diablo 2's engine running in the background, and all the timings will be based on original D2's 24 fps / 24 timing intervals for interactions so it'll probably even feel fine running the game at 30 fps. As fine as running based on a janky-ass broken-to-the-moon screwed-up-on-release engine can feel anyway.

I was really hoping for a full blown remake rather than a remaster that drags in nearly all the problems of the original, oh well. I'm never a fan of near 1:1 remakes.

Hd7850 minimum? Thara interesting for 2D graphics. That card can run much more.

It's not 2D graphics. It's 3D on a 2D plane.

Funny thing is that D2:Resurrected is more interesting than D4.

I agree. Last spring during lockdown I actually played D2 again with a bunch of friends for about a month. I was surprised to see that the battlenet for it was still online.

After W3 Reforged, I will keep my expectations low.

After Cyberpunk 2077 I can never get excited for a game again. Thanks CDPR, great job!
