Here is the camera zooming out during the boss fight with Belial. This feature has been in the game since 2012 and people are now talking about it like it's the most unbelievable thing the gaming industry has seen. People claiming D4 has a new engine is so fucking unbelievable and appalling to me that it makes me throw up by how easy it is for Blizzard to sell their lies.
If you were responding to me right above you, I think you missed my point. It wasn't that it could zoom in, it was that once it was, you could see the models were much higher res/poly than D3. I think we all obviously know you can zoom in with D3

You're entitled to your opinion, but...in the end who really gives a crap about what engine is being used? If the game is good, I could care less what software they use to make it. The graphic quality of the demo was far superior to D3 live, I don't care what engine it is, although the devs did say at the panel that it was new, if memory serves.
Really? To me it looked like at most 2005-2006 quality graphics form the time when stuff like bump and normal mapping was making it into the mainstream. Doom III comes to mind. Granted, it doesn't look as grotesquely bad as Grim Dawn but it's just barely better than current PoE, let alone PoE 2. Nothing to sing praise about.
have you seen any online gameplay videos that portray D4 graphics as you’ve claimed them to be? Because out of all the videos I’ve seen, even of “high res” gameplay, doesn’t seem very impressive and makes the graphics look barley better than D3. Let alone a “night and day” improvement. If you look at the YouTube comments on the gameplay there’s also lots of others saying “D3 reskinned”, which is why I made this thread. The themes and lighting are clearly ‘darker’ and it’s a bit sharper, but it doesn’t appear to be a big leap.
