Diablo 2 High Resolution patch, best thing since sliced bread

Gamer Limit writes "Craving Diablo III? Want to try and fill the void until its release? Well for those of us who want some classic hacking & slashing action, but aren't willing to play Diablo II in the old cruddy 800 x 600… The High Resolution (Multi-res) patch comes to the rescue.

The Multi-res patch allows you to play Diablo II in any resolution supported by your monitor, there are a few caveats but nothing that stops the awesomeness of high res Diablo."

This makes me unreasonably happy.

ThanatosDMC5373d ago

I wonder if i should play the game again... I did delete all my characters permanently. Had a lv86 Necro with Bramble armor or whatever had a lv19 Thorns rune armor. I forgot.

Guido5373d ago

It's hard to get into Diablo 2. I might have to give this a try and see how it works out.

zagibu5373d ago

Diablo2 is so much better than Titan Quest.

shadowfish5372d ago

Diablo 2 is nowhere near as good in high resolution, not only do you need to alter all the awareness stats of every monster, but it ruins such skills as teleport, and makes the game ridiculously more easy, considering you can see what's at least twice the distance ahead of you as what you normally could.

but the people get so small at high resolution! It's like Diablo 2: Munchkin Wars.

chrisjc5373d ago

I still play Diablo II every so often. It looks like I'll be going back early!

Go Gaming Giant5373d ago

I tried to play DIablo 2 a few months back and couldn't get into it

Vintrus5373d ago

I just need to get my Diablo CDs back from my brother

How about a Starcraft high res patch?

syvergy5373d ago

I agree, I would definitely go for this.

What Can Diablo IV Learn From Diablo II

Diablo IV may be the latest entry from the Diablo series, but it can sure learn a thing or two from the iconic Diablo II. Both of these games are different and similar to each other, but Diablo II's phenomenal presence should still be more appearing in Diablo IV to make the game even better in its current state.

Don't turn it into a live service, don't reskin immortal, and add to the complexity.

Diablo 2 Receives 60 FPS Update Thanks To A New Mod

A fan-run initiative called Project Diablo 2 has brought a 60 FPS update for the classic Diablo title, among other changes.

1nsomniac370d ago

Boo! Thought this was eventually a patch for diablo2 on PS5. The fact that they can’t get that game to run in quality mode at 60fps is an absolute joke!

The game is still $25 +. I'm waiting for it to drop to the actual value of the product.

Quickstrike640d ago

I would still feel ripped off getting it for free.

MadLad639d ago

It's an awesome RPG they did a good job to modernize.
You may not want to play it, but it doesn't mean you need to act all edgy and crap on it.

anast639d ago

D2 is a masterpiece. I want to play it but it is still too much of an ask right now.

sourOG640d ago

I can’t fault activision on this one. “Hostile” for the delay in recognizing their power lmao. Yikes. Good luck with that MS.

coolbeans640d ago

This attitude is why I'm not a big fan of the MS/Acti deal: you're essentially rewarding repulsive higher-ups with golden parachutes versus absorbing talent like the inXile/Obsidian deals.

MadLad639d ago

But the Acquisition is actually ousting these people; allowing the company to move forward.

The current shareholders, despite all the toxicity and both public and internal outcry, just voted in Kotick yet again.

coolbeans639d ago

That's a fair positive, but part of me still hoped their misdeeds would've bit them on the ass in a more damaging way.

MadLad638d ago

Oh, I agree.
I would love nothing more to see someone like Kotick fired on the spot with every employee giving him a kick in the balls on the way out the door.

Unfortunately the world revolves around money, and he made the company a lot of it. Thus the jackass is still around.
