Alright boys. It's my time to shine.
>tfw I liked Diablo's design in 3
Diablo 4 will turn into a Souls like game
Screencap this
Would /v/ like it?
>>343278027
Going to be an iOS game calling it now
>>343278145
And that's supposed a bad thing?
>>343278220
Are you saying it isn't?
>>343278195
Worse. It will be like DIII, only even more dumbed down.
>>343278131

>Blizzard Entertainment is seeking a game director with outstanding communications skills, proven experience in creative direction, strong ability in system design, and a stellar track record
literary only 5 of 10billion people on earth, why the fuck they dont ask directly to the skilled person?
>>343278301
I dint think that's physically possible without being ios
>>343278292
Yes, there's nothing wrong with a """Dark Souls""" type of gameplay if done right
>>343278027
Here's a spoilerthis is not news.
They had this job offering for a while now, and they also had it for concept design etc. It has already been discussed like half a year ago, and all signs pointed to another paid expansion.
Keep up anon
>>343278363
They're probably going to hire the guy that directed the fucking Dungeon Hunter games on iOS. Everyone always says the best version of Diablo 3 was on the console, now that meme is going to ruin Diablo 4.
>>343278368
It will be IOS and PC and it will open the eyes of disillusioned Blizzdrones...or not at all...definitively not.
>>343278454
No, this game director position was just recent. They were looking for art directors and lightning directors and they already have in house programmers for development. If they're looking for a game director now, it means that they're close to announcing this project, probably by the next Blizzcon
Warframe style game with a Diablo skin slapped on.
>>343278880
That...wouldn't be so bad.
Then again Hellgate did this, though not in a Warframe fashion, but look how it ended.
>>343278596
Diablo 3 on consoles is identical to PC in everything but DRM, console version allows you to play offline, PC does not.
>>343279114
I would play it if it was actually challenging with decent class meshing but blizzard dumbs everything down to hit as big a target audience as possible and relies on the loot treadmill to get people addicted and continue playing.
>>343279448
Agreed. Why play a game if it's not challenging?
>>343278027
i sent them a text file of all my amazing game ideas i came up with in the last 10 years in my moms basement
i see no reason why they wouldnt hire me
>>343278421
>blizzard
>doing something right
Reading those requirements that kind of person doesn't exist.
>>343278027
QTE will be in the next game, Day 1 DLC and season passes and since it's blizzard, you will need a active sub to play the game, calling it.
>>343278027
>Blizzard Now Seeking Game Director For Unannounced Diablo Project
I know there's talks of HD 'Remaster' of Diablo 2 and older Blizzard games, but another expansion or Diablo IV?
Shitposting aside, I REALLY hope they learned a good lesson with D3 and can renew all our faiths that they can make a good diablo game again. D1 and D2 have gotten stale as fuck for me. Probably won't, but I love the fucked up universe of Diablo.
A Diablo RPG, (not arpg) would be interesting.

Why do they want to make more triple A trash? Making diablo an AAA title is what gave us D3
>>343279721
This probably worked for some pre-2010 Valve employees
>>343280071
Prbably a different game that were expecting. Blizzard has expressed that after the ending of Reaper of Souls that they want to move on from Diablo and expand the world more.
>>343280446
id honestly love to have this guy on a big project
i wouldnt buy the game but listening to this guy bullshit is so fucking funny

>>343279273
Diablo 3 on console has a different camera angle that makes the game feel more satisfying
>>343281126
plus roll button console diablo 3 is better than Pcccuck version.
>>343280919
Fuck that loser.
>>343281490
That's a huge bait.
>>343278027
>hey guise, we need some random dude to direct our next diablo game
>it's gon be great
>>343278131
Her design was great, it just didn't look very much like Diablo.
But once you look passed that and see that she's in a female host and is basically an amalgamation of seven demons, it's fine.
>>343281490
I'm fuming.
CORRUPTION LOL
>>343280578
The said this when they were making D3 too though.
>>343281824
>it's fine.
No it's not, by that logic Diablo 1 should have resembled the Princeling he inhabits, and in D2 instead of shouting 'Abandon hope!' he should have shouted 'I can't do that right now.'
>>343278027
with those requirements you might as well say "we are not hiring right now"
>>343281824
>Her design was great
I liked it too
>>343282040
>Princeling he inhabits
But he did.
Diablo 1's version was smaller, less bulky, and had no tail.
D2 he was inhabiting a warrior's body, so he was huge and muscular, and fully developed.
>>343282060
It's not hard to find people who meet those requirements in California.
>>343281490
Even though diablo 2 was shit LoD fixed a lot of the issues with the game, you should've played it or even play it if you haven't
>>343278027
>>343281490
Accurate
>>343280446
pls no
>>343281824
Honestly I just didnt find femdiablo intimidating enough. Cant quite put my finger on it. I wanna say that its because they look like a skinny demonic supermodel, but Mephisto was even skinnier and he spooked the shit out of me when I first saw him.
I dont know. Still think that Diablo even with a female host should have been a gigantic musclebound brute. After all, if a chick turned into a female bear, it would still be a fucking bear.
Diablo reskin of Overwatch
>>343282356
That's a stretch and a half
>>343280138
>>343280446
I love how all those credentials will only ensure that the game sucks arse.
>>343282561
It's the thigh gap. The only time female features work is if you combine sexy with ghastly
>>343282561
Yeah I didn't find her intimidating at all. It's the atmosphere of the game, it didn't sell the same kind of "evil" that older Diablo games did.
On top of that Diablo in D3 constantly talks, to the point that she becomes annoying.
>>343282819
The devs have said that Demons gain some traits from their hosts.
I'm calling it,
Diablo Kart: Sanctuary's Highway to Hell
>God tier
D2, LOD
>Great tier
RoS
>Mid tier
Diablo
>Garbage tier
D3
Just my opinion fags.
>>343283321
The Reaper of Souls looks better to me.
I reallyEnjoyed Reaper of Souls, and play the game off and on
>>343279273
Actually its got some features that PC doesnt, such as stupid strong elites being able to invade the games of people on your friends list (and they get more stronger if they kill them)
>>343283465
D3 definitely went with the WoW formula on gear, but Im not arguing with you.
>>343283586
What game does Blizzard make doesn't follow a WoW formula these days anyway?
>>343283376
There's something weird with an image that complains about problems in a version of a game you can't even play anymore.
>>343281490
Do guys at Blizzard really think that a clean and polished monster fuming bright neon lights from every orifice 24 hours a day is a good and scary design? I mean, that skeleton on Diablo II cover has some mystical flames too, but he looks much scarier than that "new and better" Diablo.
Diablo Realms
Calling it
>>343278027
its been two years since the last expansion and they're only JUST looking for a game director? JUST
>>343283932
Dont even care, would play.
>>343284025
Because they've been adding lots of content to the last expansion
>>343284065

Why do they put this for hire? They should be assigning. Is Blizzard running out of creative juices?

why don't they just hire a collective of anons? We're surely better than some out of touch fogey.

Why do companies always make these demon like requirements, when in the end its always some random dude that maybe has fulfilled 1 or maybe 2 of these requirements. Why not just be straight forward and honest from the start
>>343284478
if you meet some of the requirements and you appear to be a better candidate than others during an interview, you may get the job over some people who meet more requirements
>>343284478
because they seek a professional
>>343284374
its a game you'll play for 2 weeks and get bored of, then play it for another 2 weeks on patch day and get bored of it again. the power creep has went to full retard levels and blizzard is so cheap they dont even give pc players all the stash tabs immediately, they have to literally grind out a bunch of shit once every 3 months over the course of a year to "unlock" them.
>>343281490
is diablo 3 any good? i stayed away from it because the brightness fiasco left a bad taste in my mouth but now ___ amount of years later since diablo 3 came out (i cant for the life of me remember) i'm wondering if it's worth finding some friends and playing it and completing hell mode or its equivalent
>>343284478
They aim for the stars and settle with the best that they get. If they end up with a person who can actually fulfill them, all the better.
>>343278027
How many people can fit the criteria on earth?
Beside /v/ obviously.
>>343278131
>implying you can do much worse than the red chimpanzee from 2
really it was just phenomenally easy to shine in comparison.
>>343284637
D3 vanilla was pretty trash, but RoS is fun.
>>343284478
>always make these demon like requirements
because they're devised by human resources hambeasts whose sole joy in life is the minor power trip of holding meetings with candidates to ask them shit like what animal do they most relate with.

Not at all, which you would know if you had played it and/or were not a mentally challenged chap.

>>343284794
ah yes human resources, a complete waste of resources
>>343278027
Could it just be another D3 expansion and they're just cagey about it?
>>343284992
New game probably but not an ARPG
>>343284478
Because
>A minimum of 5 years’ directing video game development
>Shipped multiple AAA products as a game director or creative director
pretty much disqualify 90% of potential candidates. Game director on AAA title has a cushy job.
>>343278027
>A minimum of 5 years’ directing video game development
How do you even get directing experience if you need directing experience to get directing experience?
>>343285254
Make your own game? Problem is the AAA part where you'll get to direct something if you sick dicks for a living in order to get promoted.
>>343285254
Connections in daddy's company
>>343284979
>ah yes human resources, a complete waste of resources
And why is that?
>>343285254
Start your own company and grow it to AAA release size and direct the games.
>>343285397
wanna start a game company together?
>>343285254
These requirements are shit anyway.
Companies simply take the biggest liars. The better you are able to lie, the better you are.
Hell even a friend of mine recently got a job as insurance adviser. Before that he only did a apprenticeship as a 3rd worldish canteen cook.
You can guess that he literally had no requirements except the average be motivated and shit.
>>343285443
>>343285254
A mega company like blizzard can simply get experienced AAA directors right off the bat you stupid shit, why do you think they'd just let a clueless tumbrshit like yourself lead a 200million project?
To answer your question, you either make your own company or get promoted from a senior dev to the leader, if they think you have what it takes/cant find anyone worthwhile.
>>343285508

>>343285396
companies have entire departments dedicated to it, all it amounts to for the most part is a huge amount of red tape just to give them more work to do to
all though do is just make it tedious for ordinary people to get jobs with their nasty bureaucracy
they're also usually female, so if you're a pretty woman, it's harder for you to get a job because women hate other women
>>343283542
What an unconventional opinion.
>>343285878
>so if you're a pretty woman, it's harder for you to get a job because women hate other womeni thought you could just blowjob all the way to the top
>>343286004
that's only really in hollywood and porn
>>343285693
Of course, but that also applies to pretty much all jobs that arent mc donalds worthy.
My cousin is a mere computer scientist. He did work 1 year after apprenticeship for pretty much the basic loan. The loan that pretty much the most get after 4 years of apprenticeship.
But recently got a fucking high paid job. He applied there just for the kek of it because it also had extremly high requirements (4+ years of work, and some fucking other shit we never heard of) but also because its 10 minutes away.
He got the job, TWICE the loan, a car and he gets free gas paid. In a job where he boots up some servers and surfs 4chan for the rest of the day
>>343278027
Doesn't matter, Blizzard will shit the bed like they did with all their Franchise.
Easy
Remake D2 LoD
>>343278027
Come one guys, you all know what it's gonna be:
>third/first person open world MMO in Diablo universe
There is literally nothing else they could do as a separate project. It would most likely be revealed to be another D3 expansion though.
>>343286148
Not on that fucking shit WoW engine.
Don't get me wrong, I played a fuckton of D3 & can say it has really good gameplay, but can't forgive how they butchered the voice acting, story & art direction of the game.

>>343283321
D2 SoJ serves a purpose:
One of the only viable spellcaster ring mainstays
D3 SoJ serves no purpose:
No one uses it in the recent patches because green rings or rings with strong legendary effects override it.
>>343286737
SoJ used to be the best choice before the green rings and OP rings. It still is for some builds that can't use those rings
>>343278131
the first thing what came to my mind when I saw it is that I wanted to fuck it.
>looks like a new Diablo xpac
>just for it to get shit on and forgotten about like D3/RoS is
The sad part it isn't a bad game in its current form. It just isn't D2, which let's be honest if they just did a graphic update and called d2 d3 people would have still shit on, and therefore deemed "no good" but people who haven't touched it.
>>343284637
D3 was utter fucking trash, completely shit in every possible sense.
RoS made fun and playable, and they tried to fix their errors, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not.
Get both discounted and it isn't a bad game, at all.
It indeed required a ton of patching tho.
We're all still awaiting the rightful successor of Diablo 2.
>>343278027
I just hope it is on a new engine instead of the Starcraft 2 engine. That engine looks like donkey balls.
>>343278027
>saw they are hiring for a Financial Analyst position

>Why do companies always make these demon like requirements
because the guy they seek will have to bear the burden of millions of $ of budget, hundreds of directly related jobs, will be the face of the company, will have an influence on a quarter of blizz's assets.
Also: depending on your performance, you may attract or scare away shareholders, that could bring down the entire company in less than a week.
we can shit all we want on directors and everything, but they won't take the first autist passing by.
also you'll have to live through this don't you know?
>>343278027
Hopefully it's just another expansion to Diablo 3.
