Company Blizzard published a new blog post on the progress in the development of the game Diablo iv. Screenshots are also presented based on the version of the project being tested inside the studio.
As part of the final production phase, emphasis was placed on a zone called Dry Steppes. The team is testing the game to see which elements work and which require polishing. However, the current version does not contain all the developments that are in stock.
At Blizzard, they promised to change the approach to the story. If in Diablo III gamers watched portraits of characters, now developers are experimenting with camera angles. When communicating with secondary characters, the camera will approach the interlocutors. But when talking with more important characters, a manually created animation library will be involved. There will also be videos on the engine.
As for the open world, players will be able to combine the implementation of side tasks with the promotion of the plot. Gamers will be waiting for events, PvP activity, and so on.
The developers are very proud of the camp system: having cleaned the outpost with bandits, friendly characters will come in their place.
Movement on the map will facilitate the transport system. So, you can attach a trophy to the saddle of a mounted animal to brag to other players. However, while the system does not work perfectly: animals can get stuck in the environment, and enemies with remote attacks quickly force the character to dismount.
Judging by the description of the network mode, the developers decided not to focus on World of warcraft. They want meetings with other players to be rarer, otherwise the Diablo universe will lose its sense of danger. Random heroes will not interfere with clearing dungeons. After completing story missions, cities will turn into social hubs. In the open world, you can come across other gamers and take part in the event.
“Even at such an early stage, playing Diablo IV is a lot of fun. We are especially pleased with the character classes and see great potential in them,” the statement said.
