To illustrate the Diablo II: Resurrected team’s approach to adapting the feel and controls to PlayStation controllers, we invited Design Director Robert Gallerani to share his insights.
New players and veterans will be able to experience this iconic chapter of the Eternal Conflict through the extraordinary capabilities of the PlayStation consoles and DualShock 4 controller on PS4 and DualSense wireless controller on PS5.īringing the classic keyboard-and-mouse gameplay to a controller was a unique challenge. Blizzard is also working on greater support for couch co-op players through tweaks such as the ability for both players to easily access their UI screens independently or collaboratively.Diablo II’s legacy will continue on new platforms over 20 years after its original release on PC in 2000. Speaking of controls, the team also intends to allow you to rebind more input options this time around. Along with setting the action bar to the bottom left of the screen for console players and to the middle of the screen for PC players (at least by default), Blizzard is also giving PC players the option to play Diablo 4 using a controller. The team also mentioned how they are now accomodating for certain console-specific requests now that they are developing a Diablo game for consoles and PC at the same time. The idea is that you’ll have to utilize different strategies to defeat them than you would have to if you are fighting a member of the Drowned family or another group. For instance, there’s a new Cannibal family of monsters who utilize melee combat and high speeds. They also state that creatures have been grouped into “families” which share certain design archetypes.
Along those same lines, the Diablo 4 team says that all of the game’s monsters have been “reimagined” in a “darker, more gritty art style” in comparison to how they may have appeared in Diablo 3(thus bringing this game aesthetically closer to the Diablo games of old).
