There are rumors of both coming out early next year, what are you going to play?

Yes

If you think either of them are going to be good you haven't been paying attention

diablo2 remaster

or diablo4 for on phone

?

i really dont get the hype of a "remastered" game of any sort, much less d2.
still gonna be same shitty bots and dupes so whats the point

Maybe they will actually incorporate very easy anti bot measures?

it should be the very least recoded using new engine and such..
instead of just swapping on higher res images as replacements.. that would really really be the end of diablo, worst than that diablo mobile announcement a year back.

They literally have to redo the engine

If you just swapped to higher resolutions the game would stop functioning because too many things are based on the game running at 25 fps and distances measured in pixels. It ends up being less work to just completely remake the game than to try to repair a bunch of poorly-documented spaghetti code managed by two different studios and more than 5 different teams over the years
