Diablo 4 at 4K/60fps on Xbox Series X, 1080p/60fps on Series S; No Loading Screen in Open World

Producer Rod Fergusson has confirmed that Diablo 4 will run at 4K/60fps on the Xbox Series X and 1080p/60fps on the Series S, and has no loading screen in open world areas.

Obscure_Observer407d ago

It´s going to look and perform like a dream on the SX!

Lightning77407d ago

For the type of game it is it makes sense. Most Bethesda games except for a few don't release feature complete. Weather that's 4k 60 RT other bells and whistles.

gleepot407d ago

This game is made by Blizzard. Bethesda makes buggy games.

darkrider407d ago

No loading screen? When did Diablo games got loading screen except when you start the game?

gangsta_red407d ago (Edited 407d ago )

I never played Diablo 3, but I remember Diablo 2 having loading screens when going into dungeons and such.

darkrider407d ago

Playing resurrection and don't see any loading screen, beside in the start. But in games like resident evil

Home? lol

wasn't aware ABK and diablo were created by xbox and MS.

Welcome to the family would make a lot more sense, just saying.

Obscure_Observer407d ago

"Welcome home ABK abs Diablo!"

Yes! Xbox is definitely the house of RPG games!

Flawlessmic407d ago

ahhh the pettiness, its like dealing with children lol

Ps5conehead406d ago

Dude you are brainwashed by microsoft. Are Sony hurt you really bad. Yes I play more ps5 but when they don’t do the right thing I call them out on it. Are use my wallet to show my disappointment. You Xbox fanboys need to do the same thing. . And pc gamers who bought tlu1 should let Sony know the port is lousy. But you and your x box fans take every crap microsoft throws out there. And cry’s when others call microsoft out on it. I played a lot of ps4 and xbox1 last gen but got tired of microsoft not supporting there platform. They can buy up every 3rd party studios but till microsoft manages their game division the right way. It want get better. Buying up the competition is not the best thing for us gamers. And even if that happens Sony will thrive it has plenty of 1st party studios. Plus you might get more developers to go independent. You want the mergers thinking Sony will fail. But it want. Sony is fighting this merger/takeover like most companies do. When their competition is merging it’s called business. And the 10 year cod thing is silly if Microsoft is serious they should make a contract that it will be multi platform for the life of it. And I don’t even play cod. . In airline mergers regulators made the merging airline sell certain routes and terminal space. And that’s not a 10 year deal. It’s permanent. And different things like that for different companies. If Sony was doing this I guarantee you Microsoft would be fighting also. It’s called business. And Microsoft and sony and sega and Nintendo have all paid for exclusive. That’s business also. I’ve been gaming since 73 and exclusive deals have been happening. Atari 2600 and intelevision had exclusive from 3rd party’s . In the 80s sega and nes. The 90 sega and snes . But here now with the internet.. the fanboy thing has really skyrocketed. Just about every generation I had both systems except this one. Only have a switch and ps5. If I want I can play Microsoft games on my computer. So enjoy the console of your choice others will also. The 70s were great people played games for the games and early 80s 90s also. They didn’t care how many consoles sold. Are how many games sold. They bought the games they wanted and played them. They bought the magazines that had the demos and played them. I know now you down load demos . And gamers big discussion was which one of them were better playing the game you know trash talk each other good clean fun. But now it’s trash talking the sales and console choices others make. But now it’s getting worst and hatful comments. I get it you hate Sony then don’t buy it . It’s called choices.

BehindTheRows406d ago

PC will always be the home of Diablo. I get that you struggle with this, but that's what it is. Adding Xbox as an option doesn't change that.

Welcome to the platform you were going to anyway and lets ignore your actual home the PC?

Obscure_Observer406d ago

"Pc it's the home of Diablo."

Not anymore.

Flakegriffin406d ago

@Obscure

“Not anymore”

What makes Xbox the home of Diablo besides the buy out? It’ll still be on all platform and still run better on PC. You have such a weird stiffy for Xbox, it’s strange. Educate yourself better.

Obscure_Observer406d ago

@Flakegriffin

"What makes Xbox the home of Diablo besides the buy out?"

Not sure if it was a question directed at me, but if it was, you already the answered it yourself.

_Decadent_Descent406d ago

@Obscure_Observer Microsoft was (and still is) a PC platform simply by virtue of Windows OS alone. But they've also been developing and publishing games on PC for decades too, long before their endeavors into the console market . Simply put, PC is still the home of Diablo.

Is Diablo IV worth it for the Single-Player experience today? I understand it has got many patches and improvements.

Daeloki8d ago

I honestly don't know what they could have changed/patched to make the game enjoyable since last summer. I played the campaign a bit past act 1 with a friend and it just becomes incredibly boring and repetitive. I uninstalled shortly after and haven't looked back. However, with me it may just be a case of that it's not my kind of game. I just didn't enjoy the endless cycle of going into a dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle, teleport back to dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle... rinse and repeat. That cycle was about 80% of the game back then, completely drowning out the story for me. If there is a demo, or you have a chance to test a friends copy then I'd recommend that before spending any money on it.

Kosic7d ago

I loved D3 and would play a season for weeks.
D4 came out I reached level 60 ish and grew bored, I tried again in S1 and got to the same level and quit. I heard about the loot revamp, and briefly tried season 3 before jumping into the new season.
The game is better because it's easier to feel this progression smoothly increase, without hitting such a large road block, but I am level 61 and in Torment 4, and again I just don't feel the urge to continue.

I found a lack of direction of what to do, the thing that puts me off is the bland world, hell-tides are rather boring. Kill a non stop spawn of demons and summon a boss...

If you can get it for cheap, give it a try, or do a Gamepass trial and play it there.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k422d ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas22d ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k422d ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas22d ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows9022d ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider162422d ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k421d ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka22d ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan22d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka22d ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto22d ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander197221d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast22d ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows9022d ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast21d ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k422d ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows9022d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast21d ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 22d ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus
