Gamespot has shared a video, showing 9 minutes of brand new gameplay footage from Diablo 4. This video can give you an idea of the art style of the game in its current state, so make sure to watch it.
Naturally, this video does not represent the quality of the final game. After all, Diablo 4 is not coming out anytime soon. Back in November, Activision revealed that both Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 have been delayed. Still, I’m certain that most Diablo fans will find it interesting.
Diablo IV will be an always-online game, and will not offer an offline mode. We also don’t know whether Blizzard will allow modders to enable an unofficial offline mode or not.
Diablo 4 will also have cosmetic micro-transactions. Additionally, Blizzard is looking into enabling cross-play support between all platforms.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

no idea why people like this game, i played the first one and it was super boring and repetitive. I also played dungeon siege, the 2 times i played it, i gave up at the swamp. Then you got sacred which has open world so that made it last longer, but the controls in all those games are horrible ,especially the camera in dungeon siege. I also played titan quest, holy crap its repetitive and boring with enemies that are too tough and dont respawn so you can farm them unless you quit the game and launch it again. Only one of those games i got far ahead was restricted area which i pushed through it and gave up in the end due to being under leveled.
Why do people enjoy these repetitive click fests?
its all about building a character, who can clear every level, fast and efficiently, test different skills and gear combination, get better loot playing higher difficulty, and repeat, its pretty addicting
That mentality is killing every RPG, Coop and MP game nowadays, it’s such a small, limited and brainless gameplay loop and even worse, it’s either encouraging severe addiction or MTX
yeah dude, why ppl waste time playing theses boring games when you can just… idk play fornite lol
Lol imagine living in a world where the only option left when you quit playing boring clickfest-looter games is playing Fortnite…
a better one, imagine getting sarcasm
i mean we are heading to that point fast. Games nowadays are made with mp in mind with randomly generated dungeons and online events and have algorithmic generated loot etc etc. Gone are the days of sp focused games.
You don’t know what an algorithm is, do you ..
i do, too bad you admitted its you who doesnt.
Imagine whining and crying like a snowflake about gaming because you don’t like a few games
fortnite is diablo as an action game but with building and pvp.
Lol no it isn’t. Get your head out of your a*s and take a look
too much micromanaging for diminishing returns, its like you saying that if you read a spreadsheet for min maxing, then the game plays faster and therefore you can finish it faster.
Because how many runs you may need to complete your build, you want to be fast and efficient, and find the best way to progress whit your character.
That’s all about it, you may prefer other stuff, that’s cool, back in the day things were different and people enjoy these games for many other reasons, and you know, years later some of those people get to work on other games, hence the influence on today’s standards
diablo ruined rpgs and shooters. What i mean? What i mean is that when it came out and it was successful, it spawned 2 decades of cheap rpgs mainly from eastern europe that are just diablo clones. For years every indie rpg was a diablo clone, thankfully that has began to change. But it didnt stay there, they ruined shooters by turning them into looter shooters. Diablo is responsible for making every game designed lazy, including the loot system in cyberpunk 2077.
It’s almost like not every game is meant for every person right?
which begs the question why are there so many clones of this game? Is it because its easy? Did diablo ruin rpgs? Back in the old days making rpgs meant you gotta make good story an dungeons, now its copy pasted endless grindfest.
“oh come on, you are over reacting”
No i am not, it infected other genres as well, its the main reason why borderlands exists and by extension anthem, division, destiny, ghost recon breaking point, out rider, shadow warrior 2 and even cyberpunk 2077 has the same loot system.
DIABLO RUINED GAMING.
It’s an ARPG. As in action. And the reason there is so many clones for this game is because people like it and it’s like saying why is there so many clones for FPS games?
I personally like these games. I mean you go you hit things you get loot I like loot and you build a character. I dunno saying the game sucks because you don’t like that genre is silly.
my god what an idiot. The reason there are so many clones is because its easy to make, no need to make interesting levels just make dungeons, no need to make a long game just place more enemies, no need to place loot, just have an algorithm that spawns leveled loot. No need to make good quests or ways to complete them, just have endlessly killing enemies. Diablo ruined rpgs, it made every small developer in europe make diablo clones instead of rpgs, you know ROLE PLAYING GAMES, gothic is an action rpg, so are bethesda games, yet they are not all combat like diablo. Also you say there are too many fps games? LOL DIABLO RUINED FPS TOO, also when you say fps do you mean first person shooter or shooters in general? Because now every game of every franchise is a looter shooter, repetitive grind fest that you get levels and get randomized loot created by a algorithm. Every game is like that now. Thank you diablo.
Most games back in the old days were garbage too. You probably just have trash taste
lol
you’re wrong, there aren’t many clones. And all of them suck except Titan Quest. Path of Exile is a dumpsterfire catering to streamers and top 1% nolifers, Grim Dawn is meh, WOW and Torchlight looked too childish for me and strayed too far from the original dark atmosphere of Diablo. And what else is there? Corepunk looks good but it went woke. Ah yes, we also have Project TL which will never be released anyway.
Van Helsing.
there are 2 van helsing games, a sequel called victor vran, restricted area, dungeon siege 1 2 and 3, sacred 1 2 and 3, space siege, at least 2 viking games, one set in fedual japan or china was put on gog recently, 2 torchlight games, divine divinity. This list is from 2011 and its so long https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/list-of-all-diablo-clones.62183/ here is another one https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/wastelanderone/lists/ginormous-list-of-diablo-clones/74701/
When you create a new character, check the Hardcore box.
Playing Diablo 2 one night with a handful of strangers, we went after Baal on Hell difficulty. Watching my teammates die off one by one, permanently, while getting the killing blow on the boss and realizing I was the last man standing gave me enough adrenaline to forego sleep that evening.
i dont play rpgs for adrenaline, thats what action games are for.
Hence why it’s an action rpg genius
do action rpgs mean that it cant have a story or quests other than combat? Gothic was an action rpg and had plenty of that, not to mention bethesda games. It so lazy and repetitive.
stfu hardcore shill:) seriously, you people are a cult. Losing everything in a loot game sucks. It’s not exciting at all. You people have some faulty wiring up there
lol. that is so well said. Hardcore is about as stupid as jumping off a cliff without a parachute, good luck on the landing.
Gay
GAYABLO, the next game from woke blizzard.
Better than slav jank and indie shiet
you do realize that diablo is responsible for ruining rpgs and turning every “slav jank” and “indie shiet” into diablo? Including shooters through looter shooters and mobas.
I enjoyed playing them with friends, there weren’t many COOP games around at the time. I cant enjoy them now though, these games are all the same I feel like im playing the same game every time. If it weren’t for the different UI in this video id think I was watching a video from a POE expansion.
the gameplay can be VERY addictive if you are into the “kill / loot loop” style of character progression… it’s very well executed in the main titles of the ARPG genre. Other than that, there’s the story and atmosphere (which Blizzard destroyed with D3 but HOPEFULLY is aiming to bring back with D4). Diablo 1 was good for it’s time, but it has too many flaws nowadays to be considered playable… still, it’s a game designed in the pre “political correctness” era, and has GREAT atmosphere, lore, art style and dialogue because of it. the kind of game that even if it’s not for you, it deserves respect for what it was and still is.
honestly mate you are admitting that diablo is basically a mouse experiment that t you grind on a wheel for cheese.
There’s no pleasing everyone because different people like different things, and that’s ok. It’s not a difficult concept to understand.
click click click click click
riveting gameplay.
sure kid, whatever.
Since the whole pozzed woke movement is against Blizzard, I definitely know the whole lawsuit is a blatant lie. These “people” always whine telling lies about the “bad men rapists”. Meh, I hate Blizzard but even more I hate the woke lgbt movement.
Its not a lie, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Im 41 and worked for bunch of startups and that’s basically boys club, imagine College just at work, you have parties you go drinking, you talk openly like with your friends, no P.C. BS, you talk about female employees if there’s any hot ones, you try to hit on them when you go to party or to company trip, its perfectly normal and perfectly human, of course no one should get raped thats amoral and wrong, also hitting on married women is kinda wrong unless they want it.
My issue with this is simple: Bunch of nobodies, millennial and GenZ filth that never achieved anything in their lives, that lives on imagery values that doesn’t reflect human history, tries to change established system, to topple the tower and to get us all into their garbage that always piles up below towers, into their 99 genders world, into no joke, no humor world, into feelings over logic world, into DiVersiTy over Meritocracy.
Noone raped anyone in this case though
Man Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls is looking sick!
Oh wait…..
MMO. Disgusting!
What MMO? Diablo 4 ? Thanks, for good laugh. D
You’re welcome. Must be a hard life if this is what makes you laugh!
I am laughing, because you wrote a total crap,and your down-vote number is a good proof of it. Do you even know a difference between an ARPG and a MMO-RPG ? 😀 Diablo series was and is an ARPG classic and it was released way before, any MMO game.Diablo 4 will be the same ARPG game, as it was before.
Fine *always online crap
Happy!
‘Always online’ doesn’t make game a MMO type. And about Diablo 4: https://www.gamesradar.com/diablo-4-director-explains-why-its-not-an-mmorpg/
I don’t understand how this looks worse every time they show it. The effects looks worse. The physics seem worse. I don’t get it. They need to stop grabbing interns a**es in that studio.
clearly its all fake, there is no way it looks like they targeted very major studio, activision, ubisoft, riot, quantic dream, rockstar, etc etc and went after veterans like chris avelone, but did not touch ea and naughty dog even though there are reports from male staffers on the same behavior.
That being said, this is what bringing women in gaming gets you boys. Crappy gay garbage soyfested written games and a sexual harassments lawsuit All of this and the destructon of the industry because a bunch of morons listend to anita sarkeesian and wanted to bring more “diversity” to the industry in order to make “better and more interesting games” Well never before have games being so samey and so crappy mediocre and broken. Hope it was worth it.
sips a glass of wine as the titanic is sinking.
doom 2016 was good so was prey and doom eternal, but thats about it for aaa.
its not a priority (hence all the drama) and theres tons of studios too small or medium sized to care about diversity. maybe you should look inward instead
yea i agree with the diversity quotas, its basically de risking their game for potential backlash which sucks (also popular indies are still indies btw)
a lot of em just got popular through word of mouth though
Anyone lining up to buy more Blizztard titles after garbage Warcraft 3 Demastered and censored Diablo 2 Demastered will get what they deserve. When was the last time they made a good game, 2010?
I usually can’t stand these sort of games, but ‘The Ascent’ has been a really cool romp so far. Although it maybe that I reallly love Cyberpunk setting. Not sure if dark fantasy would do the same for me.
There’s no Diablo in this shlt, there’s only a Blizzard logo trying to do what every AAA dev do today: milk money from morons!
This company is dead, and so are their “games”.
Small thing worth noting to illustrate how compromised the industry is. I remember when Daniel Vavra, the lead developer of Kingdom Come, was getting smeared by the (((gaming press))) for making a historically accurate medieval europe game that didn’t feature any POCs or tr4nnies.
Tell us you’re in the closet without telling us
Too bad it’s going to be an always online game, like the latest ones.
This is just Diablo 3 isn’t it
Diablo 3.5 looks bland and uninspired with horrible music that can’t hold a candle to the first two game’s soundtracks. They still want to infuse Diablo 3 with ideas from PoE and Diablo 2, but I just don’t think they have the talent and drive to make it work. Everyone that made D1/2 special has long left Bli$$ard.
I hope I get proven wrong.
The look and feel is Diablo 3 just slightly darker.
You can’t force the artists that made cute painterly D3 and WOW to make art that looks bleak… It’s still a variation of cartoony. You need new, genuinely bleak artists.
No real money auction house no buy!
Nice snow effects on the site, John. Nice effect for the Christmas season.
Your profile photo almost killed me! 😀
Glad It made you laugh. The world needs more laughter.
😉
Looks good. But prob won’t ever bother with it until it hits $20 down the road
Tencent-owned company (and DRM): no buy.
dude you should realize most of these guys behave like frat boys long
after college, none of this should surprise anyone really. its not a
conspiracy out to get em lol, tons of witnesses and investigations that
lasted for years that go on for really long trials with tons of evidence
like wth are you smoking
dude you should realize most of these guys behave like frat boys long after college, none of this should surprise anyone really. its not a conspiracy out to get em lol, tons of witnesses and investigations that lasted for years that go on for long a*s trials with tons of evidence like wth are you smoking
tons of people do programming nowadays, its no longer been a nerd thing for a long time now
a lot of nerds quickly get into that mentality once they feel they have some power though, its not like being a nerd means youre a good guy, in fact a lot of times therye underdeveloped when it comes with dealing with females just due to the very fact therye nerds. also im not saying theres not many cases where it was indeed someone being overly sensitive (the developer of aquaria killed himself because of what some girl said (which also wasnt true btw, not in the sense that the guy meant anything it was just all in the girls head)) but in this instance in particular thats not the case. i mean you dont bring a huge company like this to trial because of some she said he said. heck theres even a voice mail of the CEO himself threatening to kill a woman there and there plenty of evidence of bad harassment being common place there (not just some random name calling or jokes)
