This journey starts by making Diablo II run on modern platforms, but it does not end there

Does not end there... D2X2 hype ?

Probably means there is more content to the patch than just compatibility to modern platforms.

If it's a patch as large as D2's later patches or something as large as D3's major patches, that'd be great.

What the game needs is... support for higher resolutions.

I grow up on d2 and i still go back and play it every once in a while. It has been by far my favorite game ive ever played. I highly enjoy the leveling to 99...it was hard...took time... but wasnt necessary to complete builds usually. I have to say if a HD D2 got released with no duping/bots it would be FAR FAR more fun than D3 at least for me and i would be actively playing it for more than a 1-2 weeks which is how long i usually play d3 after a patch before i get bored. Though i do enjoy D3 i really hate rifts... i dont find it nearly as amusing as the old cow/baal/mephisto/pindleskin runs. Now on top of those being the top places i use to farm the games pvp was what held it together...it had a thrill to it, you would look for a game that said pvp and join it. you wouldnt know who you were playing against, what type of builds and it was just a blast to run around just outside of town and kill people and take their ears. I thoroughly enjoy that they have updated it and hope a non duping/botting HD D2 will be in the near future. i would highly enjoy a HD D2 over another d3 expansion.

I remember starting Diablo 2 before the release of Diablo 3 and crashing on me every 5-10 minutes with "unhandled exception" error.....

Hopefully when nostalgia will hit me for an evening i will be able to play it without getting booted out of my game because the software is old as hell <.<

Would love to see diablo 2 on mobile/tablet. I would play the living hell out of that.

Rebuild the game with the Star Craft 2 engine, bring back the battle.net 2.0 lobby, and don't 'reinterpret' the gameplay systems to reflect MMO-style rules and balance that undermines ARPGs.

Hell, just push an official 1080p resolution patch which also addresses the frame rate and cursor lag and I'd be happy. Game runs horrible on modern machines.

This would go a long way towards restoring my faith in Blizzard after they took a dump on the franchise with Diablo 3.

I reloaded D2 for a blast from the past, had a little trouble loading it for some reason but got it sorted out, It is still fun after all this time, the game actually loads much much faster now then it used to and no lag and not one disconnect or error while playing.....good stuff. I am using a quad core gaming machine with Win 10.

Blizzard began hiring late last year for people dedicated to rewriting Diablo 2 in high definition.

nah we need more sexiness of transmogs i want my character to look more hookerish.

If they gave it controller support you wouldn't need to use the touchscreen. That being said I bet there's probably away to get it to work with a controller using some sort keybind/contoller mapping app.
