Now, controller users should use the left thumbstick to move their characters. For instance, Diablo II has always used a stamina framework for movement, allowing players to choose between walk and run depending on how they want to manage their stamina. There are many areas where the developers can help improve the console experience. Because of this, using a controller may have “serious ramifications” from a design perspective, so they have to make sure that things would work for everyone.

Gallerani said that PC players have finer control of their characters, mainly because it is easier to do things with a mouse and keyboard.

Robert Gallerani, design director for Diablo II: Resurrected, has shared information about how the console port of the game will differ from the PC version. That said, it seems that the upcoming remaster will take some cues from Diablo III, especially on controller movements and how players are given full control of their characters, compared to the game controlling everything for them. It is a remastered edition of the classic game and is co-developed by Blizzard and Vicarious Visions, with the latter handling the console port. Diablo II: Resurrected will be released on September 23.
