Diablo fans worried Diablo 4 looks like a \u201cDiablo 3 clone\u201d after gameplay reveal Blizzard EntertainmentA video showing off 30 minutes of Diablo 4 gameplay has been met with some community backlash for looking remarkably similar to the infamous Diablo 3. For lots of Diablo fans, Diablo 3 was quite the disappointment following the remarkable success of its predecessor, Diablo 2. Criticized for its overly linear storyline and lack of replayability, the third installment in the series didn\u2019t deliver what many players wanted. With the next chapter in the story, Diablo 4, promising huge changes for the war-torn realm of Sanctuary, fans of Blizzard\u2019s brutally brilliant dungeon crawler have been perched on the edges of their seats just waiting for any snippets of new information. A 30-minute preview of the sequel\u2019s gameplay has crawled out the shadows, but it hasn\u2019t been the heavenly miracle that a lot of players were hoping for. Diablo 4 gameplay released A 33-minute long snapshot of Diablo 4 gameplay has appeared on YouTube. However, much to the irritation of fans, there\u2019s a lot of similarities between the sequel\u2019s gameplay and that of Diablo 3, the latest but not greatest installment in the franchise. Playing all four of the currently announced classes (Barbarian, Druid, Rogue, Sorceress), TubeGameVideo\u2019s playthrough has left players out in the cold. \u201cI feel like I just watched some of my Diablo 3 footage,\u201d writes one commenter, while another calls the gameplay \u201cjust Diablo 3 remastered.\u201d One goes so far as to scathingly call it a \u201cDiablo 3 clone.\u201d Others have criticized Blizzard for losing the overall feel of what made Diablo so great. Making reference to the upcoming remaster of Diablo 2, one comment notes \u201cwhen they have to remaster old games and not change anything that says it all.\u201d Another recalls \u201cwhat made Diablo 2 great was you were always fearful. Edging the screen a bit at a time to not be overwhelmed,\u201d something they believe this gameplay snippet lacks. It doesn\u2019t end here, though. In a Reddit thread dedicated to discussing how caster abilities will look in-game, some players have condemned a lack of imagination when it comes to the look of different spells, claiming that they all looked like \u201clasers.\u201d Noting that \u201cthey seem so lazy and out of place,\u201d the fact that they pop up in this gameplay preview has some fans considering a \u201chard pass\u201d on the new title. As we see more and more details slither out of the cracks, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if Blizzard adapts this feedback into the game\u2019s design. With no set release date as of yet, they\u2019ve got all the time in the world to make changes, but whether or not they choose to is a whole different story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
