THE GRAFICAL PART

In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.

SUPPORTED OC AND GRAPHICS API

Diablo IV Beta is supported by Windows 10/11.

The priority and primary graphics API for Diablo IV Beta is DX 12 .

GAME ENGINE

Diablo IV uses a game engine developed by Blizzard Entertainment called "Skeletal". This is a new engine created specifically for Diablo IV, which was designed to provide players with an incredibly beautiful and realistic game world, full of details and effects.

The engine uses the latest technologies such as ray tracing to create realistic lighting, shadows and reflections. The physics has also been improved, which allows you to more realistically interact with the outside world. In addition, new features have been added such as dynamic weather conditions that can affect gameplay.

The Skeletal engine is expected to provide high levels of graphics and performance, as well as the ability to create unique game worlds full of details and features.

GRAPHICS SETTINGS

Diablo IV Beta has a fairly wide range of graphics settings.

 

Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

GENERAL VISUAL DESIGN AND GAME PHYSICS

As mentioned earlier, Diablo IV uses the new "Skeletal" game engine, which provides high-quality graphics. The graphic style of the game is realistic and dark, which suits the theme of the Diablo series.

The world around Diablo IV is made with high detail and contains a wide variety of details. Each location has its own unique atmosphere, which is conveyed not only by the color palette, but also by the details of the environment. For example, in the forest you can find many different plants and shrubs, and in the caves - stone formations and stalactites.

Graphics of characters and monsters are also made with a high level of detail. Their models contain many small details such as scars, beards, mustaches, teeth, and more, which makes the characters and monsters more realistic and unique. For example, if you look at a demonic warrior, you can see armor details, various fragments of equipment, as well as internal organs that are visible in places where there is no protection.

Graphic effects such as fire, lightning, magical effects are made with great detail and look very realistic. For example, the magic shield created by the character has a transparent sheen and moves with the character, while the fireball explodes with many sparks and flames.

In addition, dynamic weather conditions such as rain, thunderstorms, snowfalls and fogs are implemented in the game, which adds additional atmosphere to the game and changes the appearance of the surrounding world.

Music and sound effects also play an important role in creating the atmosphere of Diablo IV. The sound effects look very realistic, the sounds of combat and magic spells also add to the players the feeling of being in the world of Diablo. The music in the game is written in the style of fantasy and heavy music, which goes well with the theme of the game.

Overall, Diablo IV looks very impressive and promises to be one of the most beautiful gaming titles on the market. Great attention is paid to details, realism and atmosphere creation. Players will enjoy beautifully crafted graphics and a visual style that is fully consistent with the theme and overall atmosphere of the Diablo series.
