Diablo 4: 10 Things We Want Blizzard To Include

One would think that the existence of Diablo Immortal (and those other Blizzard mobile games ) will allow Diablo 4 to have a more straightforward business model. After all, removing any predatory steps is more likely to build player trust, and long-term that kind of trust is what games need to bring in new fans after an honest gaming experie


Although there have been plenty of major advancements in video game development since Diablo 3 first launched, Blizzard should first take a step back and look at the origins of Diablo . There was a clear tonal shift between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 , with a slight move towards more of a high fantasy setting and a greater variation when it came to level des


The Skill mechanics have been a controversial subject for fans. On the one hand players like the Diablo 2 skill tree that has players focusing on different skills for unique builds to complement their style of play. On the other hand players like that Diablo 4 Patch Notes 3 took the pressure of planning builds, removed the risk of creating broken characters, and having to restart if you want to try a different skill


Although it's what most fans wanted to see, **Diablo 4 ** was not announced at BlizzCon 2018, with mobile spinoff Diablo Immortal instead sitting as the major Diablo 4 collectibles announcement at the event. The reaction was not positive , with fans dismayed that an event for Blizzard's most devoted was seen as the best place to unveil a game for a platform that has often failed to hit the m


DOOM had been hibernating for far too long, and Bethesda and id Software knew that it was time for the Doom Guy to awaken from his slumber in a literal fashion. DOOM (2016) didn’t try and reinvent the character, but instead brought him back as the Doom Slayer, a man who fears no Hell, for he has conquered it. The Doom Slayer rips, tears, and kills demons like a hobby , just like he did way back in 1993’s original DOOM g


Something that may work here is an expansion of the roll dodge mechanic that was introduced to the console version of Diablo 3 . Adding a bit of nuance to that, and of course making it available to PC players, could give the player more agency. Better yet, some kind of parry ability could also do the world of good, and help make Diablo the definitive hack'n'slash game on the mar


A game that was almost a given, LittleBigPlanet ’s ‘Play. Create. Share.’ mantra is all about the community and the adventures players experience together. While creating maps with teammates may not be so enthralling, playing popular user-created levels and the campaign mode that the game comes with is perfect for those looking for games to play with frie


One of the most addictive experiences in Diablo 2 was running the campaign in co-op mode with a total of eight players. The game ramped up the difficulty to match the fire power of the party and it made for some great mome


First released on PlayStation 3 in 2010, Dead Nation made its PS4 debut in 2014 with the Apocalypse Edition. The top down shooter has friends exploring a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies while looking for any way to survive. The game starts pretty easy, but once it gets going, hordes of zombies are thrown at players making for an exciting co-op g


Blizzard was eventually able to mend Diablo 3 , but they launched it with an auction house that was heavily and justifiably criticized by players. It was an unnecessary addition based on money-making that had a detrimental effect on the game itself, and Blizzard should be hesitant to do the same again. Instead, Diablo 4 should focus on what its players want. No gambling, no auctions, no loot bo

When Diablo 3 launched, the RMAH would have meant that players would always be buying and selling items, with Blizzard taking a constant cut of the cash. With that failure out the door, we need to consider how else Diablo 4 could bring in revenue at a pace that would keep its development assured. One option is another RMAH, but that would imply Blizzard has learned nothing from the first attempt. Unlikely, but we should not count it out completely.


Although Diablo 3 is still plenty of fun, porting over its gameplay as-is into a sequel could make it feel a little dated in comparison to some competitors. Blizzard wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel, as there's only so much you can do to an isometric hack'n'slash without it turning into something more cumbersome, but it's clear that something needs to change h


Luckily for those that weren’t a fan of Jar Jar Binks, they could find the goofy Gungan frozen in carbonite in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , a now Star Wars Legends game that featured Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret Sith apprentice . It’s a shame there’s no way to unfreeze Jar Jar and bring him along for the adventu


A lot has changed in video games since Diablo 3 first announced, and the level of restriction placed on the game at launch would be even more criticized in the modern day. Although the stuttering start to Diablo 3 's life in the wild may have been forgotten about (aside from those few who still get chills at the mere mention of Error 37), it's fair to say that the limited options available upon release would not fly to
