Seems there is some kinda hack for widescreen.

That is the mod that worked before fine, you can´t use it on bnet version of D2, not sure if this MedianXL works on ISOdemo version tho, with that i could use it.

I doubt it will work for sigma xl, but for the original median XL mod you could run:
glide
1920x1080
plugy
1920x1080 does completely break the game though, as monster agro is tailored for 800x600 so any char with range can kill everything "off-screen".

More rumors about a Diablo 2 re-release.
| Quote: |
Given the negative reception of Reforged, Ressurected is not being handled by Blizzard's internal remaster team but instead being developed by Vicarious Visions
Vicarious Visions is known for remasters of PS1 classics such as Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Crash Bandicoot
The report comes from the French site Actugamer which predicted the announcements for Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV
Diablo II: Resurrected sounds like the kind of name they’d pick
If true, this remaster would be released between Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 which makes sense
Jason Schreier said he expected to see a remaster of Diablo II at Blizzcon and that the reveal might have been delayed
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Diablo II

Can't you read? Why the hell would the "OUTSOURCE", OUTSOURCE ?!? Please...
Also Vicarious Visions are known to remaster/ports games for decades, from their own team.

I dont understand, they said before a remaster is very unlikely due to many art assets etc that was lost forever.. so whats up with a remaster suddenly possible ?

money is whats up, bliz fanboys would buy turd with a wrapper around it these days , so why not exploit that while they still can, they have nothing to lose and they have a massive shortage of new titles coming out to keep their bullshit daily chore and login engagement numbers up

That mod kinda......breaks the game. You'll be able to see enemies far away that you normally wouldn't be able to see, and they can't see you, and will stand there until you run up on them.

All they have to do for a remaster for people to be happy is slap on a smooth, crisp 3D engine, maybe drop lots of D3 models in there to save some work, then add QoL features like auto-gold pickup and bigger stash/rune stacking mechanics, and keep the whole thing backwards compatible so that modern and classic clients can play together.
MABYE increase the high level rune drop rates if that hasn't already happened in the last few years. I used to run multiple bots concurrently in D2 for years and I never in my life had a Zod rune drop. Jahs and Bers some, but also way too few for the insane amount of playtime my multibotting-setup accrued, finding those manually was almost impossible.

People didn't find them, they duped them. I guess 99.9% of high runes and Soj's were dupes.

I had some friends who used to work in an internet Cafe back then so they had lots of free time and they did Mephisto, Baal and Pindleskin runs for like 8-10 hours a day for SoJ-s, Oculuses and dunno what else items and enchantments. They only played in a local Bulgarian server so the items weren't so expensive as in the EU countries or the USA and sold each for like 2-3 euros but still made good enough profit. But then came some hackers who duped these items with thousands and ruined everything...

Yeah they'll fuck up Diablo II big time if they were to remaster. Warcraft III was an easy remaster with its simplistic 3D and they still fucked it up. Diablo 2 was all 3D rendered sprites - they most likely lost the original files decades ago and even if they didn't, chances of them redoing the entire engine so the original 3D models are used as actual 3D is virtually zero.
Good thing - Blizzard today is just like Valve and Bioware: a shitty shell of its past self.

Isn't it called 2D3D Spries or something? Anyway, all the textures are flat 2D sprites anyway, so a remaster would simply mean "higher res sprites" and not "turning the thing magically into 3d". WC3 was already 3D.
As an ancient D2 addict, I'd rather they don't mess with it tho. Especially not, if it will harm the original.
Also, as with WC3, it will only tarnish the last bit of good memory I have with Blizzard...

Now that I think about it, wouldn't it just be easier to make D3 good?
Add runewords, charms, loot that make you THINK.....

Well luckily D2 is reverse-engineered to hell and back, there are private battle net realms that can host the classic 1.09 experience for eternity.
What I'd really like to experience again though is the meta-game... hanging out at blizzhackers, using random d2hackit exploits and messing around with packets, counter-scamming trade scammers in public games, getting your account banned occasionally, trading all delicious botting-loot for forum gold on d2jsp so that I can get another botting-account up fast when the next season starts... those were the days. Getting up each morning to look at what loot the bots found was like a mini-christmas each day.
