the graphics are somewhat better, a bit too polished in my personal view, looks like a semi-modern rpg. i prefer the gritty look of the lower resolution graphics, they made them to look good on any type of screen.
i think they did a much better job on starcraft remastered where despite all the graphics being modernized they are still almost indistinguishable from the original forms and polygons of the original sprites. also the 60 or whatever fps as opposed to 25 on the original makes it look over-fluid, rather than like an anime. whereas if you see lightning, inferno or arctic blast on d2r they look like exhaust smoke in the very unfinished gta san andreas while in the original they're truly epic.
a lot of the items viewed in stash are very changed and almost unrecognizable as well. most of it is just unaesthetic eye candy, circa d3, and it loses its gothic dark and moody vibe.
