"...authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service." "...a bit more modern, Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, a host of bug fixes and high-resolution support via aspect ratio-correct upscaling." Disappointing... "For those wanting something a bit more modern..." "...an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs..." "...which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility..." "...a host of bug fixes..." "...and high-resolution support via aspect ratio-correct upscaling..." Not by a long shot. The resolution is... MAYBE 800x600 (like Diablo2), but looks more like 640x480. - The Graphics and objects don't scale to 1080p. - The camera is still very close. - The HUD is gigantic, not scaled to the 'high-resolution'. - Framerate is horrible. - Battle.net is disabled for the 'upgraded' version, and network play is limited to Direct-IP or Local Area Network (via IPX -Really, who has drivers loaded for that?!) - Unless you play the 'original version' you're playing a castrated 'upgraded version', which didn't provide me any benefits over the original. - No wide-screen support. - Anti-aliasing, Anisotropic filtering (don't appear to work worth a darn). For a 22 game that's they're charging $10, I would've thought at least a couple of the claimed improvements would be... actual improvements. Using their in-game video settings options, I specifically set the in-game resolution to 640x480, and no anti-aliasing, no anisotropic filtering, and then set them up to max for my system ( 3840x1080, 60Hz, MSAA 8x, AF 16x ) and there was no discernable differences in the quality of the game's visual appearance (with a LOT of black space on either side).
