@@queenbrightwingthe3890 you are kinda dumb man, no two ways about it. They will do the same thing they did with D2R, same game running in the background just with a new coat of paint running on top of it. it will be the same game. It will be "trash" bc the game is old as hell and dont hold up very well in 2025, same way D2R after the nostalgia was gone it was a "meh" game
It would be one of the few things that Blizzard can do to pry me off Honkai Impact 3rd for more than an hour each week to play what they have to offer.
Rogue like Old Tristram Cathedral dungeon crawling mode with random generated floors is a fantastic idea! The replayability could be endless! With ability scrolls/boosts or elixirs or maybe legendary uniques or items only can be found by killing Diablo or bosses from Diablo 1?
Diablo 1 should be remastered simply because it’s the only game that’s not widely available to everybody. We all have access to D2-4 on all platforms but not D1. And because D1 started it at all you know. We wouldn’t be here now playing and talking about Diablo if it wasn’t for D1. I’ve seen playthrough’s but i’ve never played it myself. I would love to experience D1 for myself
I played it on PlayStation 1 believe it or not. AND it had couch co-op. I was really sad when D2 never came to consoles (until D2R when I finally got to experience it.)
@@BearInTheWoods I picked up for $5 back when Gamestop still had ps1 games. I played it with a friend from work and let him borrow it because I had it on PC. The jerk moved out of state without giving it back.
I noticed you have been doing a lot less cutting and splicing together your talking clips to make your talking more seamless. I really like it, it makes your videos a lot more personable! Keep up the awesome content!
But Rhykker should use more appropriate footage, so when talking about Diablo 1 use that as background, not Diablo 4. Same for those warcraft news and such. Just use old vids of yourself playing those games. Much more a nostalgic feeling lso
It really hits me that the re-masters are a sign that they cant recapture the magic. D4 was just a clone of D3, theres shockingly little to differentiate between the two
I LOVE roguelike games, so a combination roguelike D1 remaster would actually be totally dope to me. Like revisit the same places and same story but with a new coat of paint and reinterpreted gameplay. The story itself would be incredibly short so adding a layer of replayability with the roguelike elements sounds like a better way to give it a reasonable pricepoint.
i would love to see a diablo remaster or a remake by doing exactly how they wanted to make it back in the day, but i realise that's difficult cause the original team has left Blizzard
To me book of demons is the only game i played that feels like diablo 1 , really cool game that might fool you because of its look . Its a shame a indie company can make a game that feel more like a diablo game than diablo 4
"How did we play games in 1994?" Well, as someone who was in high school in that year... the arrow keys were actually, you know, arrow keys. As for Warcraft, it's just like any other. Select your units and click to move. As for a Diablo? That was a game I received for my birthday. I spent many many hours playing. Aaaand, as for games "shutting down", no... If a company is gonna put out a game, they absolutely should provide some means for players to keep playing the game. This idea that we're merely purchasing licenses that can be revoked at any time rather than software is a real problem that should've been stamped out when companies first started doing it. Instead, we let them, the law lets them, and we're paying the price by losing access to games we want to play, whether they're ten weeks old or ten years old. If I can play a game from the early 90s (that were purchased directly from the autho, in most cases!) in DOSbox, surely these assholes can provide a means to keep playing The Crew, Assassin's Creed, and a bevy of other old titles.
I really like the cathedral idea you put forward for a second expansion. I hope that they develop all sorts of game modes to expand on the already big variety of things to do in the endgame. The community might not be healthy enough for mechanics like Helldivers has, but I would love more community goals.
Yes yes yes!!!! I have played Diablo game's since Diablo 1, and it would be cool to implement it in D4 like the anniversary event in D3 . But that seems to be easily done, and I think that they might do that, but how that's the question, and I would love to see a real D1 reborn and that they added the og expansion to it, of course they main idea for it .
Diablo 1 remaster with source refactored to make it extremely modular and allow official modding support. I would love to add content easily to the original and not rely on janky methods. Adding 100 new items? Modify enemy stats? Add new stats? Add 100 new levels? Add new bosses? If I have that option, we can truly make Diablo 1 what was it was meant to be. But please blizzard, keep the core game in tact... Let the players fix it, or allow them to.
That would be amazing but I don’t think that’s gonna ever happen in today’s game industry. Too player friendly and Micro$oft ain’t gonna miss out on the opportunity to make more money.
They should remake Diablo 1 as a modern Dark-Souls game. Its a perfect fit. Diablo 1 is the original Souls game. Bosses were a nightmare in Diablo 1 in 1996, it was a survival gothic game like the dark souls games are. I know cause i played both games at their release.
You expect way too much from Blizzard ..they aré going to do a lazy remaster/ remake milk diablo franchise with nostalgia and abandon the game as they did with Diablo 2 to push Diablo 4 sales..becoming destiny 2 with DLlC and skins from fornite and even pets..😂
I am a huge Diablo 1 fan, and I enjoyed Hellfire, too. You could edit a file to add a few extra hidden classes too!! It would be nice if they were added to D1 if there is going to be a remaster. I like your idea for the roguelite by the way. I would love to battle through the cathedral again, especially in some sort of roguelite!!!
please, no. i dont trust in this diablo 4 staff to remaster this masterpiece. i wouldnt mind if it is going to be remastered by vicarious vision who did diablo 2 remaster. but those guys in comments are insane saying that they want d4 combat and mechanics in d1. the reason a lot of people hate d4 is that the combat doesnt look arpg and is mmo like, which is bad.
Wait, the spirit born class has to be bought with the expansion and it's the most OP class in the game? LOL Keep selling power Blizzard. Every time that I get the slightest itch to come back to one of your games, you do something like this that reminds me why I left.
2:52 I like how you used a filter to make it look like, "Hey guys, remember way, way, way back in the day, like way back when Diablo 4 was still newish? Like when Warcraft I & II fans could only *DREAM* of getting remasters? You remember those good ol' days, back a whole seven days ago, last week?" lol
Diablo: The Hell Mod is exactly what they should do as a remaster. close to the D1 core experience with just more stuff added that doesn´t feel out of place. Making the game to close to D2 is a curse.
YES!! Your idea for the next expansion is spot on. What a great idea! That sounds amazing, love Hades, Diablo is perfect to include a specific dungeon to include those mechanics. Exploring Old Tristram would be a fantastic addition .
I'm also having a blast with the Warcraft 1 Remaster. As a kid that was the first real PC game I ever played and really got me into PC gaming in the first place. The original game is so hard to play today, but with the quality of life updates in the remaster for movement, I'm having a great time.

@@ConceptNull They have D4 to expand the action rpg ideas and make it a MMO lite. D1 Remake could ez be a souls like. Even the new Star Wars games are like Dark Souls a bit.
If the make a D1 Remaster I really hope that they’ll give it a whole makeover like D2R got. The Warcraft 1&2 Remasters are but they are minimum effort remasters. D2R is what the gold standard for Remasters should be. The only other game I can think of in the same vein is Metroid Prime Remaster.
You can kind of attack move in WC2 with the patrol command the main problem is that you move back to the initial position after reaching your destination so if you aren't actively controlling the units they'll keep moving back and forth and into potential danger.
I'm all for it. Especially since the first D1 only meshes through retconning off of D2 and subsequent Diablo entries adding to the events. I'd be really interested to see if they'll overhaul the story to fit the reveals that happened later down the line and really just sell the tragic, slow slide to, no pun intended, hell that Tristram went through.
Next week: "we won't be talking about the season theme today - we'll detail that after the PTR" After the PTR: "Season theme? Oh it's the season of the armory. There's a reputation tracker and everything!!"
We can't just ignore the fact they released D1+Hellfire on Bnet later on as well. I personally would love a D1 remaster but honestly i would like it even more if they made a full remake instead. Imagine they even iclude all the content that didn't make it into the heavily cut release version. The Belzebub mod did a great job with a lot more available and additional content while staying faithful to the og game.
His idea for playing through Diablo 1 has literally been my idea for years, except I don't want it in D4 - I want it to be an end-game event in D2R. Collect keys or whatever to unlock a portal to Old Tristram and you run through D1's original 16 dungeons. Make it something where you have to be clvl 95 - or even 99 to be able to open up - that way it gives some of the more casual players more incentive to reach those higher character lvls. When Blizzard 1st announced D2R I thought of the idea of including D1's dungeons as sort of a D2 version of D3's Rifts, but then my idea evolved into making it an endgame event for extremely high lvl characters. I know Blizzard would never do anything that cool, so my secondary idea for D1 content being added to D2R is make a 2nd Pandemonium event where you fight Uber versions of some of the bosses from D1 - the Butcher, the Skeleton King, Diablo...But instead of the destroyed version of Tristram it takes place in D1's Tristram.
When the D1 topic arises, I have to put this idea out there. The original D4 concept was a 3rd person souls-like game, "project Hades," right? I think a D1 remake in that style would be intense.
I truly hope they’re going to give us a PTR for every season. I think they’re nervous about the SB changes and want people to test out the nerfs/fixes/changes.
I remember waking up at 4am so i can connect with my friend via 56k super fast multiplayer connection because if someone picks up the phone, instant d/c. I was doing this as 5th grader, grinding from day 1 😭
Here's an simple change that would have saved the season: Give us the option to select a different reward instead of the glyph levels in the pit, e.g. a guaranteed ancestral legendary or crafting materials.
They should remake Diablo 1 as a modern Dark-Souls game. Its a perfect fit. Diablo 1 is the original Souls game. Bosses were a nightmare in Diablo 1 in 1996, it was a survival gothic game like the dark souls games are. I know cause i played both games at their release.
I just checked out the WC 1 and 2 remaster...it blows me away that they don't just make all of their old RTSs in the Starcraft 2 engine. As far as I remember, SC2 has a lot of the unit assets from WC3 in it already. If they made a 'battle chest' of WC 1-3 all done in the SC2 engine, I'd cream myself.
they throw around the term "remaster" when it's really just a fancy overlay that makes it look...fancier. some backend stuff might be done, but it's far from the traditional sense of the word. i'd rather they remake it from the ground up. but, i know that's a pipe dream lol.
Hey Rhykker! This is a folk. I like your D1 remaster idea but here’s another: make it like a D3 Challenge Rift where you go through a portal that “takes you back in time” to walk in the shoes of a forgotten adventurer. - It would still let us go through the 16 floors like in D1 but lock the gear and skills to a premade build and class every week. - It would be another opportunity to have leaderboards as well perhaps with an earnable title for being in the top 100 or something. - Of course, they could give the players a reward cache just for completing it that week like in D3. It would have to be worth it, though. At least good enough to be worth doing at the beginning of a season like in D3. - I know they took down a similar system to be reworked that’s unavailable this season so maybe they’re already doing this! A bear can dream… - But also… FINALLY, Diablo would be in Diablo 4. 😁
In my older age, I've become very fond of roguelike games. I don't really have the time to play games like I used to. I've been begging for a roguelike version of Diablo 🙏
The idea of D1 as a D4 event is cool but i would still want a D1 remaster/remake, since both games play very different. Also, i would like it to include Hellfire and the other characters (apart from the 3 basic ones). Hellfire quests arn't great but the dungeon is very nice. The Hell 3 mod integrates all very well and add many floors and quests to the game.
I'm just going to say it here, I love Diablo I've been a fan of it forever but I went back to try and play Diablo 1 as a 38 year old and it's absolutely horrific lol.
I would definitely be there for a Diablo 1 remaster...the first time you take a new character into level 1 of the Cathedral, with the classic dialogue "The sanctity of this place has been fouled," along with the great music is one of my all time favorite gaming moments. The idea of a Diablo 1 rogue-lite mode for a DIV expansion would also be a lot of fun...though what do you call it if you play a class other than the Rogue! =)
6:00 Don't sleep on unlocking all Altars of Lilith in Hard Core if you normally play Soft Core, or vice versa... I would imagine most casual players have not done the altars on both realms. Also I bet we are getting a PTR so we can test the armory... that's bound to be bugged at release. Great content Rhykker.
Yes, what I want and D franchise need is a gameplay like D1, 15 levels or more underground of the Cathedral with level of difficulty incremental, more monster variety, the manual assigning points to the class attribute again, more cinematics, could be every 5 levels of deep underground, all of these will save Diablo again. It is what it is.
AHH Diablo 1 Remaster!!!! I hear your idea. But also, priority should be a Real Diablo 1 remaster. Give it the D2R treatment where they added very slight simprovements and bug fixes, a few new item options, tweaked a couple spells. That would be so amazing!
The next D4 livestream is 1 hour before the big PoE 2 livestream, those twitch numbers on the D4 channel gonna be interesting an hour into the livestream 😏
What gets me in WC1 is the inability to edge scroll. There's an unofficial "patch" that converts some mouse movments but it runs in windows, so not viable for bare metal retro DOS rigs.
The D2 Resurrected team did a fantastic job with D2. I would like the same treatment on D1. I want my RPG to stay as an RPG however, no rogue-like elements unless they implemented better than any game we've seen thus far.
Re remaster for war3 is an overstatement honestly. Props where props are due, at least the game is stable now (no more stupid fps drops in undiscovered areas and fps is always stable) and the classic hd graphics are nice, plus you may combine some of the classic with reforged graphics (the reforged environment in ultra graphics combined with the rest of the classic settings look pretty good), but the reforged models still look like crap. Replace them with some graphics a la heroes of the storm, then we'll consider it re reforged... Warcraft 1 remastered is beautiful though. That one I think is worth it!
A Diablo 1 remaster would be awesome! I tend to fire up the PS1 once a winter to play D1. Feels good to spend time in that game. The music and feel are on point
This season was the last straw for me. Until they make significant changes to Tempering, D4 will remain uninstalled. Overall, the game is definitely improving, and I did have fun playing S4, 5, and 6, but I just can't deal with Tempering anymore. It's just too frustrating.
Hehe, when their projects kinda failed, they start looking what was succefull, which was made from another company, to make it remastered so they get more money, without actually make anything new to the its base game but graphics..
Love your idea for a roguelike mode with D1! I'd love it if it was in D4 but at the same time, since they put the D2 remaster on every system out there even on the switch, maybe a remaster with the roguelike mode included could be released on older systems and included in D4 for the more recent ones. Probably too much trouble but still it could be fun.
I would definitely be interested in a Diablo 1 rogue like in d4. It would be cool as a mechanic that also grants rewards and currency, runes, etc for the actual game
They would literally have to make a new game to ever make D4 feel like a Real/Traditional ARPG its kind of its own messy version of a ARPG don't think it will ever get out of this state
I was really hoping for a Warcraft 4 announcement for the anniversary, but Reforged being more playable is acceptable. It means WC4 is still on the table.
I'd love a D1 Remaster, but I would also love a full on remake with updated controls and more focus on methodical combat and exploration, something more akin to No Rest For The Wicked.

I know Blizzard would never do anything that cool, so my secondary idea for D1 content being added to D2R is make a 2nd Pandemonium event where you fight Uber versions of some of the bosses from D1 - the Butcher, the Skeleton King, Diablo...But instead of the destroyed version of Tristram it takes place in D1's Tristram.
When the D1 topic arises, I have to put this idea out there. The original D4 concept was a 3rd person souls-like game, "project Hades," right? I think a D1 remake in that style would be intense.
this would be awesome
I truly hope they’re going to give us a PTR for every season.
I think they’re nervous about the SB changes and want people to test out the nerfs/fixes/changes.
It's like to see someone make a top down ARPG with roguelike elements and horror elements...The essence of Diablo 1, but not a remake. Something else.
I remember waking up at 4am so i can connect with my friend via 56k super fast multiplayer connection because if someone picks up the phone, instant d/c. I was doing this as 5th grader, grinding from day 1 😭
Here's an simple change that would have saved the season: Give us the option to select a different reward instead of the glyph levels in the pit, e.g. a guaranteed ancestral legendary or crafting materials.
Diablo 1 remaster, lets go! Where is the customer line up?
Diablo 1 in the D4 engine would be awesome, but I hope it's a stand alone game.
That would be great actually. The D1 in the D4 engine would be amazing
I would absolutely buy a D1 remaster if it was greatly improved upon. Not just a graphical upgrade but new animations to make it more seamless
D2r level is much better
They should remake Diablo 1 as a modern Dark-Souls game. Its a perfect fit. Diablo 1 is the original Souls game. Bosses were a nightmare in Diablo 1 in 1996, it was a survival gothic game like the dark souls games are. I know cause i played both games at their release.
Clicked for D1, watched 50% on D4..
I just checked out the WC 1 and 2 remaster...it blows me away that they don't just make all of their old RTSs in the Starcraft 2 engine. As far as I remember, SC2 has a lot of the unit assets from WC3 in it already. If they made a 'battle chest' of WC 1-3 all done in the SC2 engine, I'd cream myself.
Your concept of a d1 like dungeon in d4 sounds completely awesome. Im sure they are listening.
"No change" is actually the best change!. Talking about enchanting. FINALLY they changed it.
they throw around the term "remaster" when it's really just a fancy overlay that makes it look...fancier. some backend stuff might be done, but it's far from the traditional sense of the word. i'd rather they remake it from the ground up. but, i know that's a pipe dream lol.
I like that a great deal of GoG games are just DOS Box renditions...so you can extract the game files and play them on bare metal retro DOS rigs!
Hey Rhykker! This is a folk.
I like your D1 remaster idea but here’s another: make it like a D3 Challenge Rift where you go through a portal that “takes you back in time” to walk in the shoes of a forgotten adventurer.
- It would still let us go through the 16 floors like in D1 but lock the gear and skills to a premade build and class every week.
- It would be another opportunity to have leaderboards as well perhaps with an earnable title for being in the top 100 or something.
- Of course, they could give the players a reward cache just for completing it that week like in D3. It would have to be worth it, though. At least good enough to be worth doing at the beginning of a season like in D3.
- I know they took down a similar system to be reworked that’s unavailable this season so maybe they’re already doing this! A bear can dream…
- But also… FINALLY, Diablo would be in Diablo 4. 😁
In my older age, I've become very fond of roguelike games. I don't really have the time to play games like I used to. I've been begging for a roguelike version of Diablo 🙏
The idea of D1 as a D4 event is cool but i would still want a D1 remaster/remake, since both games play very different. Also, i would like it to include Hellfire and the other characters (apart from the 3 basic ones). Hellfire quests arn't great but the dungeon is very nice. The Hell 3 mod integrates all very well and add many floors and quests to the game.
I'm just going to say it here, I love Diablo I've been a fan of it forever but I went back to try and play Diablo 1 as a 38 year old and it's absolutely horrific lol.
This is the only Diablo news I've been excited about for some time. A remaster or D1 would be great
I would definitely be there for a Diablo 1 remaster...the first time you take a new character into level 1 of the Cathedral, with the classic dialogue "The sanctity of this place has been fouled," along with the great music is one of my all time favorite gaming moments. The idea of a Diablo 1 rogue-lite mode for a DIV expansion would also be a lot of fun...though what do you call it if you play a class other than the Rogue! =)
6:00 Don't sleep on unlocking all Altars of Lilith in Hard Core if you normally play Soft Core, or vice versa... I would imagine most casual players have not done the altars on both realms. Also I bet we are getting a PTR so we can test the armory... that's bound to be bugged at release. Great content Rhykker.
Yes, what I want and D franchise need is a gameplay like D1, 15 levels or more underground of the Cathedral with level of difficulty incremental, more monster variety, the manual assigning points to the class attribute again, more cinematics, could be every 5 levels of deep underground, all of these will save Diablo again. It is what it is.
yeah they can take my idea of timeshifted dungeons where you get sent back to diablo one in diablo 2 with your diablo 4 character
we cant make diablo 4 perfect...so will do diablo 1
F*ck blizzard.
I hate blizzard, I don't even bear to hear this name, they're the worst... What? Diablo remake? Shut up and take my money! Where do I pre-order?
Rather have a D2R expansion :P
I dont trust them to touch diablo 1 anymore. Blizz is dead and they continue to desecrate it's corpse.
D2r is great. Calm down doomer.
I replayed Diablo 1 recently and forgot how good the original is. The survival horror aspect is real.
AHH Diablo 1 Remaster!!!! I hear your idea. But also, priority should be a Real Diablo 1 remaster. Give it the D2R treatment where they added very slight simprovements and bug fixes, a few new item options, tweaked a couple spells. That would be so amazing!
The next D4 livestream is 1 hour before the big PoE 2 livestream, those twitch numbers on the D4 channel gonna be interesting an hour into the livestream 😏
I'd love to see a D1 mode for D4 😃. Although I think a lot of people would be disappointed that D4 was a requirement to play D1 "re-imagined"
What gets me in WC1 is the inability to edge scroll. There's an unofficial "patch" that converts some mouse movments but it runs in windows, so not viable for bare metal retro DOS rigs.
Add running speed into D1 Remastered.
The D2 Resurrected team did a fantastic job with D2. I would like the same treatment on D1. I want my RPG to stay as an RPG however, no rogue-like elements unless they implemented better than any game we've seen thus far.
Diablo 1 getting a resurrected treatment would be my absolute dream. I want that more than anything
Re remaster for war3 is an overstatement honestly. Props where props are due, at least the game is stable now (no more stupid fps drops in undiscovered areas and fps is always stable) and the classic hd graphics are nice, plus you may combine some of the classic with reforged graphics (the reforged environment in ultra graphics combined with the rest of the classic settings look pretty good), but the reforged models still look like crap. Replace them with some graphics a la heroes of the storm, then we'll consider it re reforged...
Warcraft 1 remastered is beautiful though. That one I think is worth it!
I still have my ps 1 copy of diablo 1 and memory card don't fuck with that one just fix d4 thanks
I have never played Diablo 1...a remaster would give me the incentive that I need to play it.
Dude, a rogue light mode in tristram cathedral would be fucking godly
A Diablo 1 remaster would be awesome! I tend to fire up the PS1 once a winter to play D1. Feels good to spend time in that game. The music and feel are on point
D1 remastered using the Diablo 4 engine would be awesome. I also remember an older game by Blizzard called Blackthorne.
Diablo1 remaster I WANT THAT SOOOOOOO MUCH , but not a D4 ishh D1
The last possible thing they can milk before abandoning the franchise like they did Starcraft. Sad to see what they've done with diablo.
Not even gonna lie, I personally don't care for rhykker videos, but I see diablo 1 remaster I click.
Diablo 1 as a roguelike dungeon for D4 would be amazing!
The ost for thr old games was so good.
i think your idea of diablo 1 in diablo 4 is a freaking great idea.
This is gonna sound like madness but I always thought a D1 remaster in first person with Chivary 2's combat would be amazing.
I would hate D1 becoming into a roguelite.
If anything, D1 as a soulslike is more enticing and fits into the atmosphere much better.
I think Diablo 1 is currently fine as it is. It doesn't even look bad. A remake of it (maybe souls inspired?) would be sick though.
This season was the last straw for me. Until they make significant changes to Tempering, D4 will remain uninstalled. Overall, the game is definitely improving, and I did have fun playing S4, 5, and 6, but I just can't deal with Tempering anymore. It's just too frustrating.
Hehe, when their projects kinda failed, they start looking what was succefull, which was made from another company, to make it remastered so they get more money, without actually make anything new to the its base game but graphics..
As far as why players are dropping faster in Season 6 :: Because only one class is really viable. Why take a step backwards and alt?
Love your idea for a roguelike mode with D1! I'd love it if it was in D4 but at the same time, since they put the D2 remaster on every system out there even on the switch, maybe a remaster with the roguelike mode included could be released on older systems and included in D4 for the more recent ones. Probably too much trouble but still it could be fun.
I would definitely be interested in a Diablo 1 rogue like in d4. It would be cool as a mechanic that also grants rewards and currency, runes, etc for the actual game
They would literally have to make a new game to ever make D4 feel like a Real/Traditional ARPG its kind of its own messy version of a ARPG don't think it will ever get out of this state
I was really hoping for a Warcraft 4 announcement for the anniversary, but Reforged being more playable is acceptable. It means WC4 is still on the table.
I hope Blizzard are watching, I love your idea of a Diablo 1 dungeon in Diablo 4. That's sounds 🔥. I really hope they will do that
I'd love a D1 Remaster, but I would also love a full on remake with updated controls and more focus on methodical combat and exploration, something more akin to No Rest For The Wicked.
