Much of the work on it was done by Vicarious Visions, a blameless outfit only integrated with Blizzard earlier this year. In some respects, this beautifully produced remaster of Diablo 2 is unlucky to be Blizzard's first release since the state of California filed suit against the studio. Availability: Out now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and Switch.Platform: Played on PC and Xbox Series S.Developer & publisher: Blizzard Entertainment.In the wake of the appalling recent revelations about the studio's "frat boy" culture, this is now a question we have to ask ourselves about Blizzard games, too. Where do you stand on separating the art from the artist? Maybe you've mulled this over when considering whether to watch a Roman Polanski film or listen to a Michael Jackson album - and Lord knows, the history of art would be impoverished indeed if we stripped it of all its monsters. The title will be launching for Switch on September 23.You can't fault the craft of this painstaking remaster, and the game itself still has an ornery magnetism - but Diablo 2 is showing its age. I think people are going to enjoy it, being able to take it on the go for the first time.ĭiablo II: Resurrected is actually just on the horizon, and if we hear anything else about Switch performance, we’ll pass along that information. With every platform we make sure that we tailor the technology to give the best experience on that particular platform. It’s tailoring the experience for that smaller screen, the handheld screen that can be swapped out for a larger screen if you dock the console. Todisco: Same goes for a lot of the 3D visuals.
Just the overall attention to things like, how big is the font? How are things laid out on the screen? Those are all things that had to cater to that device to play up its strengths. We’ve taken a lot of things into consideration with the Switch, especially if you play it in portable mode. We wanted it to be what was right for that console. We didn’t want it to feel like we just ported a PC game to the console. But yeah, with all of our consoles, we built them for that experience. I like playing it in the undocked portable mode. Gallerani: I think it’s running like butter.
