It’s truly impressive that Blizzard has been able to find yet another way lớn release Diablo 3. Following the PC launch of the trò chơi way back in 2012, we’ve already had one release of it on PlayStation 3, & now it’s been re-released, and simultaneously made the jump on to lớn the next-gen consoles for the first time.
Most of the attention on this particular release will be on the PlayStation 4 & Xbox One versions, but let’s break away for a second to lớn have a look at the Ultimate Evil Edition as it sits on the PlayStation 3. As a game that has already been available on the console for around a year, is there enough additional nội dung to justify the disc-based re-release?
Hmmmmmmm… yes và no. The reality is that the Ultimate Evil Edition is more of an expansion pack than anything that deserves a full retail release. But then the base click-em-up chơi game is so good, & the extra content is worthwhile, so as a purchase it still makes sense.
So, what’s new in the Ultimate Evil Edition? There’s a new chapter (Act V, và it’s a good one), and a higher màn chơi cap (70) to take the quest lớn new heights of danger. Every action-RPG skill you’ve ever developed will be tested if you ramp the difficulty of this puppy up. There’s also a new character in The Crusader, who is a handy fellow (or lass) with plenty of armour and some nice new tricks up his or her sleeve.
Most significantly there are now loot runs, in which players descent into randomised dungeons filled with enemies to slaughter và treasures lớn find. Và it’s in these Nephalem Rifts where players will find the reason lớn buy the PlayStation versions of this trò chơi over the Xbox releases – Blizzard has dropped a few of The Last Of Us’ enemies into the trò chơi to join the slaughter. Fighting off waves of Clickers, Bloaters & Stalkers is pure tín đồ service, but it does work in the context of the game & adds some value khổng lồ the game. There’s also some equipment that’s exclusive to the PlayStation platform, called the Guise of the Colossi, which as you can guess takes inspiration from Shadows of the Colossus. Given that Shadows is such an entirely different trò chơi to Diablo 3, both in tone & theme, this inclusion doesn’t sit right with me at all. But hey, I was too busy killing Clickers lớn care.
This content is locked away for right at the over of the game, & as with any Diablo trò chơi it can feel like a grind khổng lồ get there. Thankfully players can import their saves from the previous Diablo 3 on PlayStation release, so they don’t have khổng lồ start all the way from square one again if they don’t wish to.
Blizzard has spent the last couple of years tweaking the vi xử lý core Diablo 3 gameplay, và these tweaks do create a more streamlined và generally enjoyable game in the Ultimate Evil Edition. Loot drops with less frequency but greater quality, and there’s a Paragon progression system for more experienced players once they get lớn the end-game which provides incentive to keep playing on.
The social side of the trò chơi has been enhanced too, with clans and groups making it easier khổng lồ get involved in multiplayer sessions with decent human beings, though for my mind the best way to lớn play co-op Diablo 3 remains the local multiplayer. Sit down with a friend, grab a controller each và you’ve got a recipie for the perfect beer-and-chips gaming night.
The good news for Blizzard has been that Diablo 3 hasn’t really been bettered on console over the past year. There’s been a couple of classics emerge on PC, but for those who predominantly play consoles this remains the newest and most masterful of hack-and-slash RPGs. Và because of that PlayStation 3 owners who haven’t made the upgrade to Sony’s new console may well find themselves enjoying this beast all over again – especially when you reach the over game and the extra content and higher level cap has a chance to shine.
The gothic horror atmosphere of the game is as brilliant as ever, too. Though Diablo 3 was never the most immediately beautiful game, everything within it – from the character design to lớn the environment layouts, the way enemies shamble about, the haunting ambient sounds & music, & the incredible (if overblown) cut scenes create a tense, dark environment that is so complete that it remains a rare achievement among games.
But really this is an expansion pack, & it’s going to lớn cost you almost as much as a new game, so if you are a veteran of Diablo 3, be aware of that.
