Diablo 2 Resurrected

[Colif]

What are your specs? Dungeon crawlers like this usually don't require too much juice to run.

i realise most of pc is fine, just curious about 1440p, since thats what screen is. It appears to be unknown right now.

I wonder how much of the Diablo 2 manual still applies to the new version... I have it around somewhere, though i can't find it right now.

Diablo 2 Resurrected PC system requirements revealed – and mod support confirmed

No hellish spec demands, fortunately

www.techradar.com

Well, my last pc would have run minimum easy enough but not recommended, but I can now.
Not sure what is needed for 1440p though.

The requirements are really high considering that it's an isometric hack 'n slash. My PC meets this requirements with ease (as long as I stick to 1080p), but not everyone will be happy. The new engine must be quire demanding. I hope that the posted requirements will let us play in 60 fps.

And here we have the release date. September 23rd this year. As I suspected the game will be released after the vacation period (on the northern hemisphere that is ).

I can't wait that long

its funny to me I took years trying to find a game like D2 and it is D2 again.... so its 2001 again? glad I don't have to use same PC as I had then.

In the meantime, someone released a mod that allows you to play at 60FPS, plus some other tweaks and fixes: https://github.com/bolrog/d2dx

I've pre-ordered the game. I just couldn't wait any longer. Thankfully the price is lower than for most AAA titles. Keeping this in mind I've decided to pick up a full package of Diablo 3 as well. 20 euro is a really good price for the game with all add-ons.

I'll probably play D2R on the release date (if the servers are capable enough ). I haven't played Diablo 2 for 18 years or so. This will be a very nostalgic trip to the past. Alpha test have shown that the game is in fine condition even months before the actual release. I think Blizzard has learned the lesson from Warcraft 3 Reforged and we'll get a beautiful remaster. I keep my fingers crossed!

be funny if i could import my lvl 70 odd barb into game... shame I can't remember anything about game. Besides watching people speed run it.

So is it pure or did they put a way to respec more often, that will be a test. D2, if you mess up a character, you start again. No 2nd chances.

Ignores Prime Evil Collection, I don't want 3 again.

Its not so cheap here but nothing is, I wait a while as no rush to buy, its a digital copy I assume

I never played D3 before, so it's a good deal for me. From what I've seen in other places D3 plus all add-ons is more expensive than in this bundle with D2R.

It's not cheap, but still the price is lower than the price for most AAA titles. At least in the EU area. And yes, it's a digital copy of course. I suspect there will be no physical release.

Would like to check it out sometime. I will probably wait for reviews because of how warcraft 3 remake turned out. I don't trust blizzard at all

The alpha tests have shown that the game is of high quality. I think that Blizzard took a lesson from Warcraft 3 Reforged and now will provide a great remaster. What's important the game is produced by former Vicarious Visions, which is known for quality remasters.
