Diablo 2 - Original vs Resurrected (2000 vs 2021)
167Today the remaster of Diablo 2 was released, twenty-one years after the release of the original, and I show my comparison video here. Blizzard considers "Diablo II Resurrected" a remaster and not a remake, because even though the graphics look new with new models, animation, effects and lighting, the old engine is used as the basic framework. So you can switch seamlessly between old and new graphics. Also, an attempt was made to keep as many design decisions from the original as possible, even a known bug. There are some new comfort settings, such as automatic sorting of the inventory, automatic collection of gold, clearer item comparisons, a better automap. The cinematics have been remodeled, animated and rendered, but keep exactly the style and dynamics of the original (if you want to see the original cinematics, check out my video with all Diablo 2 cinematics).
The Lord of Destruction add-on is also included in Diablo 2 Resurrected. If you haven't played the best part of the Diablo series yet, you can buy the remaster with a clear conscience, because getting the original Diablo 2 to work on today's PCs is not that easy, even via Battlenet (it took me some time).
What do you think of Diablo 2 Resurrected? Is it worth it, is it an improvement, or would you rather stick with the original?
