kidson2004 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 This is going to bomb and bomb hard. Why blizzard is making this a Mobile only game is beyond me. The backlash that was received when this was announced was definitely deserved. What do you guys think? https://youtu.be/YhqWaqL2N7A the video reactions on YouTube are killing this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because mobile is next gen gaming and the new C&C game seems amazingly popular. But on a more serious note: if they put something relevant like overwatch on mobile, people will say that it is a nice addition or something. but doing it to a game that needs a new sequel and then butcher that idea by making a mobile only game as the NEW NEXT DIABLO made by a studio who only does diablo ripp-offs... not the brightest idea.

Popular Post Rick_Sanchez Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2018 What makes this worse is that they announced it at blizzcon in front of primarily PC players with mega awesome PCs ready to play the next Diablo at 4K and they were basically told you wasted your money on your PC and you should all have a phone. Really bad move for blizzard. To Quote the AVGN "What were they thinking?" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2018 I don't care about Diablo or Blizzard, but I've enjoyed seeing the massive backlash over this. Mobile gaming is cancer. "Do you guys not have phones!?" Yeah, but that doesn't mean we want to play games on them. We have these things called consoles and PC's that are much better suited for that. They must be so out of touch with their playerbase if they were expecting anything but a negative reaction when announcing this in a room full of hardcore PC gamers. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least EA also announced possible remasters of the oldest C&C games... and probably a coincidence, but a year or two ago there was a leak of future GOG releases and the oldest C&C games were among them. I hope the mobile game meets the same fate as the "Generals" sequel/reboot/whatever that was being made years ago. Also not only that other studio does Diablo ripoffs, but there are rumors about it being literally a reskinned Diablo ripoff.

Conker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 GG Blizzard, enjoy all the backlash, hopefully this bombs, something which no-one asked for. and a great place to announce it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobby Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Why will it bomb? PS4 has shown it is mobile game central, we got the port of FF15 mobile for god sake Give it a few month, it'll be ported.

Lance_87 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) ^ Jesus Christ it's worse than i thought. I didn't watch the conference, only the trailers and the "out-of-season April Fool's joke" guy video. I read they're trying to cover their arses by telling journalists that there are more Diablo projects in development...

Also: https://www.diablofans.com/news/49075-diablo-immortal-interview-with-wyatt-cheng-and-joe The backlash on this game is real. They weren’t prepared for this kind of response from the community.

Redgrave Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I want to feel bad for the guy that was up on stage since in a way I feel like he knew he was going to take a lot of heat and tried his best to salvage it as bet he could. At least I want to believe that. It's just strange how out of touch Activision/Blizzard are into thinking that a series known for its hardcore fanbase being on PC would suddenly be okay with having a microtransaction filled mobile game that nobody asked for. This is only one-upped by EA propping up Command and Conquer's corpse-- I mean showcasing the Command and Conquer mobile game at E3 this year and Konami turning Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid into Pachinko machines. Diablo can still be saved but this is dangerously close to having it put one foot in the grave. It also really doesn't help that the game is just a re-skin of another mobile game the people working on this one already did. And like mentioned above, Blizzard have been removing negative comments in the main video trailer and apparenly re-uploaded the video to reset the like/dislike ratio as if that would really help. At least the silver lining of this is we can get some meme material out of it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellesan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 heartstone is a card game so that works on a mobile, but doing a huge rpg as diablo downgrading it to mobile is pretty weak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is crazy when people create groups and pretend those groups are mutually exclusive. Blizz announced a game in front of a crowd of people that have a device said game can run on.

Alaquia Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't think it's the mobile aspect alone... it's the game itself. it looks cheap and I can understand everyone who is upset. it has one of the most dedicated or let's say at least one of the most "hungry for more" fanbases around. a massive slap in the face and an even bigger dissapointment. the whole "just don't play it" argument is bs. seeing such a big franchise getting raped hurts the hearts of many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so cheap that it's free. It clearly fits right into a f2p section of the Play and App stores. I might even say it looks a little better than the average f2p mobile game. Disappointment of what? People shouldn't go around expecting or predicting anything when it comes to these conventions. Those people have no one to blame but themselves for their unmet expectations. No one has been slapped in the face. You people do nothing but overact and cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the biggest fan of the franchise (still enjoying it), so I'm not part of the "you people". But is it really so hard for you to understand that people are sad that their favourite franchise gets butchered? there would be no complaining if there was a remaster for d2 or even a 10 second teaser for d4 (looking at you Elder Scrolls) and AFTER THAT they can announce the mobile stuff. many folks are afraid that this is the future of diablo and that would be a shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillia Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The thing is though... it's not gonna bomb. The Chinese market will eat it up with a spoon. They'll make plenty of money in micro transactions, just not from the kind of people that attend Blizzcon. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
