Definitely looks like a whole new game in the pipeline. Any other dungeon crawler fans on ~tildes so far? I think I've got 300+ hours in Diablo 3 alone, let alone 1 and 2.
What do you want in a new Diablo, what do you definitely not want?
Man, I would kill for a game with Diablo 3's fluid combat and PoE's depth.
Not that Activision-Blizzard will ever make a game with that sort of depth, but I can dream.
That sounds about perfect. I'm not sure how I'd feel about the skill system. On one hand, I love how Diablo 2 handles it, with a limited number of allowed respecs, making later difficulties less punishing as you can use one build for low levels, then another for higher difficulty play. Despite being a more hardcore player myself, I don't think I'd like respeccing to be too punishing. I think the skill system of Diablo 3 is great for more casual players as they can try any build without needing to roll another character or grind for hard-to-obtain materials. At the same time, it allows more hardcore players room for experimentation with a large variety of combinations.
I'm still dreaming for Diablo 2 Remastered though
