Man. Not sure what crack people are smoking. I donโt see Diablo IV as a beefed up D3 or a modernized D2. It has the potential to be its own thing - open world, world bosses. Itโll all come down to how they build out the content. From what I can see, it can go big.
Iโve played D2 and a lot of D3 and I donโt think I was as hooked at the beginning as I am from this Beta. From the darker art to the utterly beautiful cinematics, following the close of Beta, I am left wanting more.
I think D4 is a winner. And one more thing, GG on the character creation. Itโs stunning.
