The content: Resurrected comprises Diablo 2 Resurrected Items and the expansion Lord of Destruction. Same seven characters, same attempts, no new styles or narrative. It's Diablo 2. Blizzard's developers said they had been tempted to include more stuff, but decided to concentrate on nailing the remaster. The original graphics and match code: You can switch to Diablo 2's classic graphics on the fly and then swap the new dynamically lit 3D to your classic 2D sprites. That's because Resurrected is operating on that initial code.

"The logic of this game and all the sprites and pathing and information of the equipment, your fall prices along with your strike chance and proportions, and whether or not this monster chooses to bleed because you struck them, is still driven by the old game and it still runs at 25 frames per minute," said Gallerani. "So all of your breakpoints to your stats are still also going to be the same as they had been. 

On top of that, however, we've got considerably more granularity using framerate, with directions that we render out stuff, with how lighting works, since it's basically a 3D engine running atop. Think of it like a marionette: the individual pulling the strings is your 2D game. But in this case it is a blockier [puppeteer] and an extremely lifelike puppet." First Diablo co-creator David Brevik pointed out on Twitter that they may need to create"small modifications from the AI radius and skill ranges" since the original game was built for 4:3 displays.

The stock size: Blizzard considered shifting this as a contemporary quality of life upgrade, but decided against it. "Among those things that's really different in D2 when compared with modern [action-RPGs] is you are not yanking 70 firearms from your back pack at any point in time," Fergusson said. "You had a very limited inventory. We had plenty of talks about: Should we increase the inventory size? It's one of the areas where we felt that was a bridge too far.

It had been part of the cosmetics of this game. The fact that you collect charms which make your character stronger but are consuming your inventory space, it gives you this strain of'do I want that +15% magic find at the cost of 3 slots in my inventory?' These were interesting and meaningful decisions even though you're enjoying. The notion of,'this is great because of buy Diablo IV Gold life' became'no , we are really breaking the game mechanics.'"
