We've already talked about the fan-made Diablo 2 AI upscale project run by redditor zomprd and took a look at some still images and creature models, but today we have his finished demo to check out! His second and final version of the browser-based sample shows off the Rogue Encampment with an Assassin walking around the place. You can also switch back and forth from the original game look and the new upscale, just to see what exactly has changed. Also, if you've ever really waned to walk around in the stream in the encampment, you can!

    Greetings strangers!

    First of all, thank you guys for your support, it's been a great month.

    You can find the new version here: https://quiet-springs-45295.herokuapp.com

    For those of you who haven't heard about this project - it's a web game, free to play. It shows what D2 could look like if it was upscaled. I've used artificial neural network tool called ESRGAN for upscaling the original textures. In the game you can choose to view the original or the upscaled version and swith between them at any time - notice the buttons in the bottom panel. Press F11 for fullscreen.

    Changelog:

    • Mouse clicking should now move the character in all browsers
    • Mouse holding now moves the character
    • The encampment has been populated - NPCs, torches, rogues, chickens, cows...
    • Visit merchants to view their inventories

    The project could be developed further, but I'm satisfied with what it looks now. If there's anyone who would like to develop the project further or just see the code, leave a comment / PM me, I'll gladly share the source code and explain the mechanisms.

    What do you think? Would you play the game if it looked like this?

    Once again - thank you for your support and all the comments, you've been a great community to share my ideas & progress with.

    Have a great day and see you all in Sanctuary.

    - zomprd

        Blizzard Reportedly Reuniting with NetEase to Bring Back WoW in China
        By Staff
        Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2 might soon make a comeback in China, thanks to Blizzard reportedly teaming up again with NetEase.
        The news comes from Core Esports, which suggests Blizzard's game services could be back by the end of March or the beginning of April.
        After 14 years of partnership, Blizzard and NetEase hit a rough patch in 2022, leading to failed negotiations. Consequently, when the licensing agreement concluded on January 23, 2023, Blizzard's game services were suspended across mainland China.
        For more details, you can check out the article in Chinese or find an English translation by Amy Chen on esports.gg.

        By Staff
        According to WSJ, Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard, has floated the idea of buying TikTok to potential partners.
        Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has reportedly shown interest in purchasing TikTok, as legislation in the U.S. threatens to ban or force the sale of the popular app over national security concerns.
        Kotick is said to be seeking partners for the potential acquisition, discussing the opportunity with notable figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The move comes amid growing scrutiny over TikTok's data privacy practices and its ties to China, with U.S. lawmakers pushing for decisive action.

        Bobby Kotick left his position at Activision Blizzard in December 2023 after Microsoft finalized its purchase of the company. Post-acquisition, he reportedly received over $375 million, as detailed by Forbes.
