"The backdrop could be fancy cushions, it could be heaps of skulls, it might be Diablo 2 Items sand dunes, but it's actually only a horizontal image," Rob Gallerani clarifies. "When you fall a sword, that's a 2D sprite. It's just a flat sprite and it sits on the top and you'll see it. When we have a 3D sword resting on 3D skulls and bumpy things, we can not just have it be there since it would clip all those things. So we must make certain that it leaves on a pass that's on top of those items. There is a lot of loose ends that need to get accounted for when you're bringing a 2D sprite to a 3D world."

And it is that aspect, acquiring the 2D world drive the 3D coating that ensures the team preserves the game as is. Even with adding an impressive visual makeover, control support, and a contemporary widescreen presentation that supports 4K TVs and ultrawide PC monitors, it is the same Diablo II that it has always been.

"Everything has been positionally driven, statistics wise, or otherwise by that exact same 25 frames-per-second-logic cycle," Rob continues. "The simulation on top of it, divorced from this, we can have an uncapped frame-rate for cartoon along with other things. That is why it's one-to-one, even though it's really just one and you are getting to see that other layer at the top."

Where does the process begin? If you were to take an existing 2D match and all its assets and not just recreate the visuals in 3D nevertheless keep the core code and create that operate across multiple programs and input methods -- there would naturally be a to-do list. If the match was twenty years old, this to-do list likely includes finding anything and everything to Buy Diablo 2 Resurrected Items do with the game's development.
