Blizzard rounded up all of that material before it started work on Diablo 2: Resurrected, but the first art assets actually weren't vital since they remade"every single asset in the match," Fergusson said. Resurrected enables you to change between the classic graphics, which can be untouched, and an entirely new 3D engine. The cutscenes are entirely remade also.
"Since we've got first men and women who worked on [the cinematics], we can have a lot of discussions around intention," Fergusson said. "We went with,'What would their intention be when they had the instruments we have now?'" The code, more than the initial art resources, was critical for Diablo 2: Resurrected, which thankfully wasn't lost.
"If you dig into the code, there is Diablo 1 hint in there. "That's what makes it have its own character. The idea that the old code works the way that it will means you have the game which you have. If we had been hoping to modify motors and reestablish it and we did not have those intricacies of the old code, then it would not feel exactly the same. We are actually very thankful that we have what we have, as [gamers ] can have that experience that is authentic."
Even though Diablo II: Resurrected isn't trying to precisely duplicate the original's appearance, the newly-announced remaster is creating an impressive attempt to coincide with some parts. Watching a panel at BlizzCon now, I was delighted to hear how they awakened ancient Blizzard resources to recreate and even reuse from the remaster. My favourite titbit: the new Tyrael reuses the angelic wings out of the actual 3D version used to create his 2D sprite in the original game.
While the first Diablo 2 is 2D with sprites (made from 3D models), Resurrected is rebuilding the whole match in 3D. During the board, Blizzardeers clarified they made an attempt to assemble original concept art, 3D models, code, leaves, and these to understand the original intent behind art and better educate the artwork teams' creative choices as they remade parts. I'm a sucker for good archive work.
