Qualities that made StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II the titans of their day. The listing was for a Senior Software Engineer, Classic Games and read: Forbes says, "Blizzard is almost certainly remastering Diablo II," and points to a company job listing from way back in November 2015 as evidence of this. While the game developer has not officially announced a Diablo II remaster, there is plenty of evidence that it is planning, if not already working on one. However, should the company's apparent plans to remaster Diablo II get closer to fruition, it may decide to pull Egod's plug. He has been working on it by himself for over three years now, and has setup an Indiegogo account to help fund the project. He describes it as "a Multiplayer Hack and Slash RPG mods for Stacraft2 Bnet 2.0." The mod is called " Diablo: The Curse of Tristram," and modder Etienne Godbout (Egod) is responsible for the recreation, which is not quite Diablo II, but close. I mean, how can an RTS engine be used to create an action-RPG game? But after watching 12 minutes of gameplay (below), I was convinced. When I first heard about this, I had my doubts. While everyone pines for a reboot of Diablo II on the Blizzard message boards, one fan has taken it upon himself to remake the classic game using nothing more than the StarCraft II modding tools. Of course, it also raises the question, where is a Diablo II remaster? I have to say, it looks great and really brings back the memories of why the game was so awesome in the first place. The StarCraft remaster just dropped three days ago, and I've been playing it.
