Diablo 2 Bosses Remade in HD
With the recent debate about what might be revealed at this year's BlizzCon, and in an age where remastered games are a reality, some people still believe that a Diablo 2 remake could be a possibility.
In the past we featured some of the work by Svein Yngve Antonsen, a norwegian artist that made amazing high definition models of the D2 bosses. In order to imagine how these could look by today's standards, today we would like to highlight them once again - together and in order!
Click the images to check their ArtStation pages, where you can freely rotate the 3D models.
Act 1 - Andariel, Maiden of Anguish
Act 2 - Duriel, Lord of Pain
Act 3 - Mephisto, Lord of Hatred
Act 4 - Diablo, Lord of Terror
Act 5 - Baal, Lord of Destruction
Amazing! We can only keep dreaming, but what nice dreams we have
Fucking awesome
Andariel got the fairy eyes though.
Im still waiting for boss rush mode where you fight every single boss from d1 to d3.
Holy shit! Except for the Mephisto model (wrong colour, an extra pair of arms instead of tentacly appendages) and Andariel's face which looks more like a High Elf, these all look amazing.
This is basically a repost isn't it? I recall seeing this...maybe 1.5-2 months ago.
Holy coooooooow!
LOOKING FOR BAAL?....
Mephisto and Duriel look wrong, Duriel is supposed to have a huge smile and look quicker like when hes coming to kill you, Mephy needs more hanging limbs imo
the rest look great.
Seriously, I would LOVE a diablo 2 remake, and this helps refresh my dream. Amazing detail here, well done!
Complaining that the 3d models are not a 100% replication of the d2 sprites is one of the dumbest things i have ever seen on this forum.
These do look pretty amazing but the chance of them overhauling all of d2 is highly unlikely.
Why is diablofans the less interesting site of the curse network ? I don't understand the need of reposting images or shity youtube video no one cares... A bit sad.
I really don't see the point in remaking Diablo 2 when 1.) Diablo 3 is already out and 2.) Diablo 1 is far more ripe for a remake. Diablo 3 is already kind of a remake of Diablo 2 anyways (first and second Acts are almost identical in theme and setting, Act 3 of D3 is like portions of Act 5 of D2, D3's Act 4 is a mirror opposite of D2's Act 4). A Diablo 1 remake could actually update how the game plays, what environments are used, and fix the story which has become a gargantuan mess at this point.
That said, I think if they were to consider making a Diablo 2 remake, it would be far more prudent to make it a full-priced Diablo 3 expandalone, maybe with a "new" old class reintroduced as well (probably Druid). This would reinvigorate the Diablo 3 playerbase, save time and money on development compared to making the entire thing from scratch, and maybe give Blizzard a good proof-of-concept to go ahead and remake Diablo 1 as well, probably also as an expandalone.
Of course, knowing Blizzard, it's entirely likely that there'll be nothing about Diablo at Blizzcon at all.
If it ever gets remade the way these above photos are you will have me sold i will buy it.
The D3 bosses are cuddly compared to this... especially that weak ass Diablo we got.
All of these are incredible! My favorites are the way you rendered Diablo, Andariel and Mephisto, great job!!
