I have the CD version, and it works great on Win7

Leave Activision but Battle.net will stay with Acti

This just confirms that Blizzard is remastering D1. They will have the remastered version up on their launcher instead.

Kinda of a dick move that they're selling this. I mean the game already has no copy protection.

>they will have the ruined version up on their launcher instead.
fixed

its so the pc peasants who dont have phones dont feel left out when the rest of the guys play diablo immortal

>its so the pc peasants who dont have phones dont feel left out when the rest of the guys play diablo immortal
Implying anyone wants a shitty mobile game

>remastering D1
who cares

Hell teh fuck NO

NOPE
>"GOG's bundle comes packed with two versions of Diablo 1. The first is a "vanilla" version, which runs on the game's 1.09b codebase with only one noticeable tweak: a scaling fix to ensure that the game renders at its original 4:3 screen ratio, no matter your display size (even though it otherwise transforms your screen in a way that resizes background windows in Windows 10). In comparison, trying to run the game via a mix of the original CD-ROM and official patch files can lead to a stretchy screen, should you not install any third-party mods.

>The second included version is a DirectX-fueled build of the game, whose extra tweaks were built entirely in-house by GOG. Among these are support for a variety of resolutions and refresh rates, a "borderless window" option, a v-sync toggle, a gamma slider, and a pair of visual filters: anisotropic filtering up to 16x and anti-aliasing up to 8x MSAA."

Here we go.

What if Blizzard licenses Diablo to CDPR to make some money?

>new Diablo games to be made by CDPR
:^)

So, will Diablo 2 be next?

Diablo 1 HD was an interesting mod

That doesn't say anything about source access. All of that can be done with normal dll injection.

>remastering D1
>nuBlizz
Don't get high hopes, the only reason why Starcraft got proper remaster because some dumbfuck found gold disc with a source code and gave it to Blizzard. Also, nuBlizz pretty much "remade" D1 within D3 as event and called it a day. Blizzard lost source codes to their games up to before D2. They are maybe doing D2 and W2 remaster, since SC engine is pretty much W2 battle.net Edition so I don't see problem here
>But they released also for free Blackthorne and The Lost Vikings!
Yeah, no shit. It's running through DosBox and these are SP games. DosBox can play multiplayer but it's convoluted and not elegant solution for double-digit IQ nuBlizz fan.

nuBlizz are talentless hacks. Get used to it.

Diablo 2 is planned to have an official remaster by the blizzard classic team

I've never played the first or second Diablo. Is this a good deal?

wc and wc2 have no planned remasters
diablo 1 wont get a remaster

D2 and WC3 are the planned ones

>actually buying such an ancient game

Diablo 1 is a good game but not worth paying for desu.

Diablo 1 HD mod by belzebub is a more modern version but it has the same issues as any fanmade mod.

One time I got banned on Yea Forums or maybe Yea Forums (was 10 years ago) for posting a google link to an image search of a famas.

I have no hope for W1 remaster because of all shit they remade in WoW. Also they have no source code for it, so they would be forced to do a full remake. W2 on the other hand it's actually plausible but it would cannibalize W3 remaster sales if announced right now.

>OLD GAME BAD

Well, I did, but then I saw that shit about them being 'politically motivated' now, so not any more. Fuck politicalshit and fuck any company that wants to get their hands dirty with that filth. Politicalfags need to be put down already.

fake news

If it played and looked like the D3 event, then I'd be okay with it. But knowing Blizzard, they'd just make it look exactly like D3 and call it a day, losing all of the charm of the old graphics style.

and now YOU have a copy of the Diablo source code. Whoa! Wow!

>GOG
dropped

The tweak implies that it is a mod or wrapper, not an actual recompiled version of the game.

not a little bitch like you that's for sure.

Then you are fucking retarded because Actiblizz lend the source code to GoG

Damn 2d really ages like wine

no they didnt

Getting source code from a 1996 game should serve only as learning purpose. It's not so hard to clone Diablo with modern tools and the design principles are out there for anyone who wants to check them.

source?

i would unironically be excited for this. i would like to try multiplayer without a million hackers. but also worried they would take out the pvp mechanics.

Instead of acing like a fucking reddit zoomer who doesn't know shit about it, go to vogons and the gog forums: its a recompiled exe WITHOUT the battle.net support, only P2P and LAN MP.
While the original game on the package supports it, its 2 separate games at this rate, if it was a fucking wrapper, battlenet would work on the enhanced gog version, and even with a wrapper, Diablo 1 looks like crap since DgVoodoo2 cant handle Anisotropy and AA well with both D1 and D2. Without the SRC its IMPOSSIBLE to inject this without fucking the image and scaling, WITH IT, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

AS FOR Hellfire, its not included because Even blizzard ignores its existence due to how buggy it was, since it wasn't made by them.

If Morhaine was working on it, that FAGGOT would never lend the source code, with PRESIDENT OF BLIZZARD Brack and ACTIVISION BLIZZARD CEO Kotick, they can do whatever the shit they want, and shit on the rules made by Morhaine and the shareholders.

im forced even to defend fucking kotick because the situation Inside Irvine was a fucking literal Sanitarium of Tumblr, and the purge woke them up.

ok, show me the source

Why would they break battlenet if they had the fucking source code? It's just your typical ddraw.dll injection.

The user didn't said they broke battle.net, they just had it removed because there is no point in supporting such an old game with their current network system and servers.

is it cuz all the multiplayer features are client side so there's no good way to do anticheat?

>No launcher required
>DRM free

This is kino tbqh

Guys does prepaid credit cards works on GOG?

>no WC2 remaster
Interest dropped.

why are they lying then that there's battle.net?

so I just learned that Hellfire was a thing, and this doesn't come with it
How to go about playing hellfire with this?

play the original you fuck.

You don't as Hellfire is shit.

Would be cool if it actually was open source.

why
everything I can find about it makes it seem pretty cool

mega when

It's not modern battle.net

>Rumor has it that every Warcraft up until warcraft 3 is coming out on GOG
they literally confirmed on the blog post on the diablo site
