Every feature is there too, save one, the unloved auction house for trading items with other players. Every update to the PC version in the last 15 months has made it across intact. Love it or hate it - and Diablo 3 has certainly proved divisive - you cannot fail to be impressed by how complete and insanely customisable the console version of this visceral action role-player is.
The strange thing is that its return is marked with a release that is more like a classic PC game than the PC game it's based on. The strange thing isn't that the titan of online PC gaming is back on consoles - that was always going to happen.
But it’s nice to see Blizzard adjust for players who don’t want to use a mouse and keyboard or those who want to slay demons with a pal in the same room.īlizzard has yet to announce a release window for Diablo 4.The last game Blizzard Entertainment made for consoles - not counting an outsourced Nintendo 64 version of StarCraft, a PlayStation port of Diablo (outsourced again) or the unreleased StarCraft: Ghost - was The Lost Vikings 2 for the Super Nintendo. In the image above, both players are customizing their characters simultaneously, with player 1 adjusting their skills and player 2 previewing their talents.Įverything about Diablo 4 is still a work in progress, including these new interfaces. Both players adjust their builds during local co-op in Diablo 4 Image: Blizzard Entertainment In Diablo 4, Blizzard rebuilt the UI for local co-op. In Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls on console, local co-op partners couldn’t access their menus at the same time - a problem for a game all about equipping new loot and abilities.
The studio also revealed a new focus on couch co-op. The shift from mouse and keyboard to controller is now instant, as seen in the gif above. Image: Blizzard Entertainmentĭiablo 4 supports controller use on a PC, which means Blizzard needed a UI that could change quickly depending on the user’s input device. (Diablo 4 itself has changed since our first look in 2019.) One of the standout features of the upcoming game is a UI built for both controllers and couch co-op with a friend. The post focuses on how Blizzard has evolved the user interface since Diablo 3. In its first quarterly update of 2020, Blizzard revealed new details about Diablo 4 - as well as feedback from the BlizzCon demo, like the ability to rebind left click.
