Diablo and how Blizzard resurrected their classic RPG series

TSA writes: Slay monsters, hoard loot, level up. These are simple yet effective components powering the Diablo series, adventurers grinding away for endless hours after being caught in that all too familiar loop. With Diablo 2 Resurrected launching later this year – and with the first alpha test now underway – let’s take a look back at the origins of this landmark series.

They didn't want to resurrect it. It took 20 years of nudging by the fans.

Yeah crazy it took this long. It's staying power is up there with the best. I'm excited to play the shit out of it again.

anast1108d ago

Same here. I can't wait to play the necromancer again.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1108d ago

So true. But I’m glad it’s finally here and it looks fantastic.

I’m excited for both resurrected and Diablo 4. Just need both straight into my veins.

SAG-AFTRA helping the pushers of AI cutting out more of the workforce so more profits go to CEO's and shareholders.

"Understandably, voice actors are baffled by SAG-AFTRA's decision. Similar to when Microsoft announced its partnership with InWorld AI,

Steve Blum, who has provided his voice in everything including Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Last of Us Part 2, and more, said: "Excuse me? With all due respect…you state in the article 'approved by affected members of the union's voiceover performer community.' Nobody in our community approved this that I know of. Games are the bulk of my livelihood and have been for years. Who are you referring to?"

Deus Ex and Starfield actor Elias Toufexis responds similarly: "I would humbly consider myself one of the top voice actors working in games. No one asked me about this. No one reached out for my opinion. From what I'm seeing, no one asked any of my peers either."

Fellow Starfield actor Melissa Medína also responds to the news, calling it a "betrayal" and warning fellow actors: "Don't give your voice to this until you have clarity around where your voice will be used."

"A disappointing agreement SAG-AFTRA have made regarding AI use," Baldur's Gate 3 and Dying Light 2 actor Thomas Mitchells says. "Studios will look past creativity for convenience and this will potentially have a detrimental effect on artists."

Money, money, money

In the songs tone

Capitalism needs to be tweaked a little. The constant hunger for profits profits profits every quarter only open the door for cutting corners and trying to find new ways to make more money. Greed will always ruin products. Even fast food companies like McDonalds started off using quality ingredients and only because of their constant hunger for profits and pleasing shareholders did they begin to use cheaper and cheaper products and materials, just to make profit. You could have the perfect product that everyone loves, but if it doesnt make MORE money for your company year over year then they have to sacrifice parts of it in order to make a profit. If they weren’t always looking to make more money they wouldn’t be doing this, capitalism expects a company to have infinite growth in a finite space, that’s called a Cancer in the biological world.

Such BS. I want real acting (good or bad) in my movies and games. Not some robot with their fake emotions. Im in full support of real working voice actors. And if it means not buying anticipated games. Then so be it.

Chocoburger101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Indeed, the only message companies understand is when we don't buy their products in droves. Vote with your wallets. Let their games tank and fail, let them suffer the consequences of their actions, and most importantly, don't believe or accept their fake apologies (likely written by an AI bot these days!) when things don't go their way.
