While I applaud him for setting a high goal, I dont see how this is even remotely possible, without massive engine, modeling, and graphical upgrades. Not to mention server stability and performance that these "upgrades" will require.

I think a more nuanced statement of expectations would have been more reasonable. PoE is old, its unlikely it will compete with Diablo 4 from a nuts and bolts point of view, and tbh the core gameplay is getting stale after all these years.

I hope 4.0 (for it's own sake) has some incredible changes that live up to the claim of jumping into the next generation fight.

I dont want to seem pessimistic here, but man that claim and pre'hype for 4.0 seems dubious.

Good luck GGG team! Competition is great for all gamer and I hope your expectations live up to reality!

He's setting the bar pretty low if he's confident 4.0 will beat the mobile game.

As for D4, it should be good. They can *probably* learn from their mistakes while copying all the core features of recent ARPG's that made them great, and then you put D3's super smooth and fluid combat which most ARPG's do *not* have.

The story was average, the character building was bad, but the combat and visuals in D3 were fantastic.

First: D3 was hugely successful because of the name brand and battle.net. But it was an inferior product in every way. A small team developed a game called Titan Quets with a better engine and better mechanic. It took D3 years to have a game that was "acceptable". BTW, considering the resolution and the different resources, Titan quest was awesome. I remember the water waves in Titan quest adn the ripples when walking. D3 did not even have that. Also, I remember D3 code was (and still is) so inefficient, that you needed a top tier video card to be able to experience the game without graphic lag.

Second: The original Diablo team is gone to work on other projects with other companies. Diablo on phones was built by another company and it appears they are just skinning it. It shows that Blizzard is only an empty shell innovation wise.

Third: Have you not read about the financials issues of the consortium owning Blizzard and Blizzard itself?

Fourth: I have been playing POE since 1 year and half and every league was superior to any Diablo expansion (I will not even mention the seasons, it was simply a re-balance of already existing items and skills).

Fifth: Blizzard communication with its players (aka customers) is awful. If you look at the statistics of the previous years, the only growth in players was in China with ALL their game. Almost all public games with D3, SC, Warcraft, Heroes of the storm are chinese. It is easy, the characters of their toon is in chinese.

Sixth: No offense, but if POE is such old and a bad game, just stop losing your time posting here and go play a more modern game.

Thank you

Have you seen how blizzard have been doing in like the last decade? You can't see how GGG can succeed I can't see how they can fail -_-
