Excited for 'Diablo IV'? We sat down with the game developers to find out what's back — and what's new — in the fourth installment of the endlessly playable hack-and-slash RPG.
The great thing about Diablo is that it’s really easy to play. Whether you’re playing on a mouse and keyboard or a controller, however you interact with games, it has a very easy interface. And the fantastic thing about a Diablo game is that you get to slay a bunch of demons, right? And they explode in really satisfying ways. And your character gets stronger, and you get to slay even bigger demons.
It can be very abstract at the beginning. [We] want to hit the emotions of tension, fear, darkness, endless strife, madness, grotesqueness; We want to return to darkness, respect the legacy of earlier games, never be static, earn interactivity.
. At the same time, if we try to just emulate or copy or mimic exactly that score, then probably what would come out is something unoriginal and not as good as it could be.We have pillars, and one of the pillars was called the “Old Masters” pillar. And the “Old Masters” pillar was a way to galvanize our vision. We’re trying to create something that feels like a medieval masterpiece. We wanted the colors and the tones and the textures of the world to remind us of that.
The goal was to just always have the game, if you’re standing still just listening, it’s always slightly moving, slightly bending and over time changing and it feels like it really paid off. Because when you stand in an area, I kind of don’t want it to sound exactly the same every time because that gets back to the annoyance factor — ear fatigue.“Return to Darkness” was one of them. “Embrace the Legacy” was another one.
We work hard to introduce new players to concepts, we work hard to make sure that complex, deep systems are introduced slowly to the player or after the player is familiar with it. And our emphasis was on story. [Story] is another way that can help make the game accessible to someone who isn’t feeling familiar withbecause of course, all humans like stories. And a story is something that can connect across people really well.
