From the article, it seems that the “big thing” they’re betting on will be mods, or “user generated content” in bznz speech, which neither Diablo 4 nor Path of Exile 2 can offer, what with being live services.
I swear the next headline is going to be like ex devs of pong to make a new game.
I’m getting so jaded by all these ex dev new game posts.
Didn’t they do that years ago when the Diablo 1 and 2 devs formed their own studio and made Torchlight 1 and 2? And then went under because the games didn’t sell enough and the IP got sold to some shady company who made it into a weird, half assed MMO?
I think some of them also made Hellgate: London before that.
They did indeed. That game had its problems, but I liked it. I remember seeing it years later, after the game had been sold to… I wanna say it was a Korean company. They massacred the writing and the game is unrecognizable now, which is sad.
I thought Path of Exile was done by ex Diablo 2 devs.
Yes. However, idk if these are those same devs and would you really say no to another torchlight 1 or 2?
I would not say no! I enjoyed the first two Torchlight games.
TL2 is great, haven’t played the first one tho.
TL1 is pretty simple compared to 2, kinda like how Diablo 1 feels compared to 2: one town, one dungeon with 4 different themes after a number of levels (can’t remember if 5 or 10). Hell, that one of the heroes of TL1 became the big bad of TL2 is another nod to Diablo 1-2
In before Rod Fergusson demanding they call it a “Diablo-like”
