The team has looked at a lot of pop culture references such as comic books, tv shows, and look at these through a lens of Diablo.If it's any indication, right now there are 4 or 5 streamers playing the Diablo 4 pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha demo from Blizzcon and they have 50k viewers, while all the hundred of PoE streamers combined have like 1.5k viewers.BlizzCon 2019 - Diablo IV World and Lore Panel Recap None of those mmo's remains, and WoW is still the most alive game in the genre, in a time where mmo's aren't a thing anymore.

Kind of like how for 15 years every new mmo general chat was full WoW-hate, all the wronged souls anticipating how this one mmo, yes, this very one mmo would be the WoW killer. Very few things unite more than banding together in scorn towards the big evil successful companies. That is, until Blizzard breaks it again, probably, and they flock back crying about how awful Blizzard is to whatever FotM ARPG is around, be it PoE, Lost Ark or whatever random name you wanna give it. The day Diablo 4 appears in the market nobody will even know what Path of Exile is. And they still have quite a lot more to develop.ĭiablo 3 made itself obsolete, Path of Exile is merely an alcoholics anonymous fellowship of broken souls looking for a home. Considering they just recently rebooted D4 from scratch (according to a Kotaku article), what they're showing now could very well be just a vertical slice that was made especially for Blizzcon 2019. They actually said it's not even "blizzard soon". So I'm really excited about D4.īut they said D4 is quite a while off. POE is great mechanically, but as I said, that's not enough for me.
I need visceral combat and great animations, and that usually requires a certain budget. Just having good mechanics is not enough for me. Maybe I'm too picky, but the low-budget of it just never caught me. Path of Exile just never managed to scratch my itch. In the meantime, Path of Exile 4.0 expansion that is supposed to battle vs Diablo 4 is coming out by end of 2020 and it might make D4 obsolete even before it is out. I am not going to make the same mistake with D4, this time I am waiting for review and reports from players before I give them any money. D3 got me to buy it based on Act 1 that was better than the rest of the game. I didn't get this same optimistic impression. The other two panels that will go into deep mechanics and world/lore are not unfortunately. The Unveiled panel which just ended is publicly available.
I'm so excited.Īnd they said it's very far off, not even "blizzard soon". A return of skill levels, talents and runes. Going back to Diablo 2 both in terms of art style and mechanics. I've seen the first panel at blizzcon, besides the info in the opening ceremony, and man they scored it out of the park imo.
