  • I really loved this kind of ghostly atmosphere, darkness and evil ... And when a look at the new trailer of Diablo 3 ... I was like : wait this is Minas Tirith ? What happened ? Did Sauron summoned Diablo and all the demon's familly ?

  • a classic piece. a knightly hero, a magic sword, a suit of plate armour, and horror. there are a lot of things in the video worth talking about

  • As a kid I had this game but never played it... because this intro scared the ever living shit out of me :P

  • I remember playing this in my early teenage. Almost shit my pants when the Diaglo appeared...Brrr.. :D

  • 18 people have less than 16 years

  • Comment removed

  • wht does the sword have to do with the game

  • Do you guys understand how scary this shit STILL is ?

    Diablo 3 intro is not scary at all :(

  • iny my opinion this is way better than this new cinematic intro for diablo 3

  • God, we thought those graphics were so cool... ^^

  • Man these demons sure were a lot cooler when they didn't ride around on thrones and speak with English accents and giggle while making snarky comments at barbarians

  • This Intro was scary, i played this many years ago :-(

    But the game is very good.

    It is one of the best games ever :-)

  • I recently finished Beowulf and had to come back to this.

  • Spiderman 1 -Awesome

    Spiderman 2 - Awesomer

    Spiderman 3 - Shit

    DIABLO 1 - AWESOME

    DIABLO 2 -AWESOMER

    DIABLO 3 - ???????

  • Despite the age of this cinematic, it still sends chills down your spine.

  • Get Diablo 1 at my channel. With Color fix for Windows 7!

  • I remember I showed this to all my friends when I first got the game and we were blown away by the graphics

  • Genius.

    You eat dead meat from the old ones, you see hanged people, you see dark eyes staring at you, you see that the sarcophagus moves, when you didn't expect it, and the demon appears in front to you saying: "And now?"

    The same occurs when you turn to an adult.

    The world is not as they told it to be.

    Have a nice day! :)

  • One of the best Action RPG games ever made!

    Long live Diablo! \m/

  • Possibly the creepiest game I've ever played. The ONLY other game I know that had such creepy factor was ES4 Oblivion. Diablo 2 + LOD simply had much less of it. I've played TONS of games over the years, and Diablo still ranks (for me) as the creepiest ever. The dark atmosphere and tantalizing music remains unmatched to this very day. Those prerendered 2D graphics have a LEGENDARY feel to them. Honestly, I just DON'T find 3D graphics creepy at all.

  • @Francozilla

    interesting, I didnt find Oblivion creepy at all. the dungeons could be sometimes, but otherwise the game was just pure fun :)

  • @Francozilla very true my friend, Diablo 1 was terrifying i remember playing this at the age of 7, the butcher scared me soo much i didn't touch the game until i finished Diablo 2 when i was 12, even then at that age it was still creepy, atm the moment im playing d2 on hardcore with a Assassin, act 2 so far, im now 23 but lookin back on these fantastic games i hope they really pull this one off cmon Blizzard :)

  • wow haven seen this in years, good times ;)

  • Wow when i was a kid this intro movie seemed really realistic but now it looks feck ugly. It still has this great dark atmosphere I remembered.

  • saw this when I was 6 it had a bad affect on

    my dreams

  • I scared myself so many times playin this when I was just a wee kid. I still get the chills when I fight the Butcher lol

  • This shit scared the shit out of me.

  • 0:08 hey there's a cock!

  • @lesztat18

    Smartass :D

  • @HectorCruzSuarez agree.

  • the bad graphics made this more terrifying

  • @yeomond Heck they weren't even bad. =D

  • HAIL DIABLO THE LORD OF TERROR

  • eu até chorei aqgora.

    Durante muitos anos eu quis assistir á essa abretura, pois meu cd do diablo travava na abertura, muito obrigado @larbjov

  • There were three classes in Diablo.

    The warrior became Diablo's new host.

    Many fans believe that the Rogue was tainted by corruption during the events in Tristram and appears in Act I called as Blood Raven.

    The Summoner in Act II is suspected to be the Sorcerer who went insane as the result of the corrupting influence of terror.

  • Diablo 1 was pure evil....it wasn't like playing a game, it was like exploring the deepest recessions of hell yourself for me as a kid.

  • @lordangelic god, this was the scariest shit back as a kid. The only time I played this as a kid was during the day with my homie watching lmao

  • should I try the Diablo series? I never played it before and people keep saying it is/was really good.

  • @MajorShepard I loved it. But by now the games are pretty dated of course. I personally can't wait for Diablo 3 to come out. I'd say Diablo 1 & 2 are worthy of being considered true classics.

  • @MajorShepard the graphics are horribly dated by this time, but the fantastic storyline and gameplay compensate the isometric visuals. i'd download the D2 demo, see if you enjoy it.

  • @ludz69 Go fuck yourself.

  • diablo 1 is the shit but diablo 3 become so colorful but it's ok

  • @thepriestiswithyou I'm with you on that one buddy :P

  • I just bought the game... Still havent played it (Nor diablo 2 for that matter) But this makes me wanna play it like right now :P

  • what is this game about???

  • @nachodc Kicking ass and taking names!! haha jk, i've not a clue, but as what i see or think i see, ...yeah i got nothing... =/ google it? xD chacha it?

  • @Thrallpwn Ah!! i figured out this game is about a fucking psycho warrior breaking tombs and killing dead guys because he had a bad day... Plus, he is doing a public service defeating evil :P

  • Man, I loved this game -- and the intro with the crow plucking at the dead guy, so memorable to me.

    I was never very good at Diablo (I am now) and always seemd to have to use a trainer for the game to get anywhere past the Butcher, hah. I hated facing the Butcher in the game when I was little...scared to fight him knowing I'd be decimated -- and that room he's in with the bodies? Diablo sure was a bit darker than Diablo II.

  • @AssyrianSoldier1933 Go die troll

  • diablo= the best and the most scary game i played not for the game but for the ambiance , like the music and the sprites

    diablo II= nice game but i prefer the first one

    diabloIII= maybe a good game but ... blizzard north will not work on it and matt ulment will not be the composer and the game is a copy of World of warcraft...

    i miss blizzard north

  • diablo 1 is like the movie alien 1,diablo 2 is like the movie alien 2,I hope diablo 3 do not like alien 3.

  • @bigerbigerbiger Really? I compare Diablo to Terminator. Although I hope D3 performs better than T3.

  • @bigerbigerbiger Diablo 3 will be like Lord of the Rings 3.

  • @bigerbigerbiger A 3 wasnt.....yeah you're right, i wish they'd have stuck with original script

  • @bigerbigerbiger With always online DRM requirement I think it will become Alien Vs Predator.

  • @bigerbigerbiger why is diablo like alien?

  • @5ol1dsn4ke It's artistically excellent, but not quite as exciting as its sequel.

  • Just getting into Diablo. Should I get the first one?

  • @Minhist Diablo was such a good game when it appeared. But times past and things change, tell me what games you played lately so i can tell you with what part you should start now.

  • @Minhist Yes!!! Then the second one with the expansion. Play multiplayer way more fun than playing alone

  • @Minhist yes it is the best too

  • lol i hear you Tomdogg449 when i was 10 or when ever i remember it scareing the hell out of me the lower i went.

  • omg, when diablo screams at the end, it sounds just like Deathwing in the 2010 WoW expansion

    Way to go blizzard - recycling sound effects from 15 year old games

  • @mockingbird83

    Uh oh, someone with a Diablo vs. WoW obsession... lmao.

  • @gjgoingsolo huh? god no. I gave up on WoW a looong time ago, and i don't particular care either way for diablo anymore.

    what i do have an obssession with is the gaming industry taking cheap shots at making a quick buck these days. I think most mainstream developers are sacrificing quality for the sake of production time/profit these days. And this is just one of those examples.

  • blizzard has a thing for crows. Crows are involved in both of the open cinematics for diablo and warcraft 3 (as far as I know from playing...maybe more)

  • cheesey

  • I could never play this game cause it scared the shit out of me

  • What happened to fucking badass trailers like this?

  • seriously, even if I was a hero with superpowers, I would not mess with Diablo, god damn he is evil!

  • THIS SHIT IS SCARY

  • weve come a long way cant wait for diablo 3

  • The Legendary Diablo 1! Too bad, they don't make that kind games anymore, where you can actually feel the game.

  • this shit goes hard, the new diablo will never be as intense as the first

  • the fact that all you hear is the wind blowing and the crow coming twords you is scary and then theres diablo at the end. Scariest one by far

  • i want that sword!!!!

  • @DrGreenfun Me too! lts search!

  • holy shit at the end when Diablo comes out of no where. Freaked me out. The one for Diablo 3 does not scare me one bit.

  • Cool. With all the foggyness and stuff like that, it would've been cool to play the Silent Hill theme on this video.

  • Vote for Diablo in the greatest Video game Villain contest.

    Vote here, if you already have ignore this message. Get your friends to vote also. at gamespot youtube doesn't allow linking sites.

  • how many times i thought i was hearing that music in the darkness of my room thinking that my computer was still on? how many times i fought with diablo in my dreams? every time he killed me I woked up sweating like if i was in the gallows

  • @vxxj4v1xxv Sir.

    You now have the Rank of a Patriarch.

  • @vxxj4v1xxv lol im still getting butchered by butcher in my dreams...that guy gave me nightmares....freakin aspd and damage he's imba at low lvls >.<

  • @vxxj4v1xxv nice grammar

  • Just ordered on ebay!!!!

  • I'll never tire of seeing this. Diablo's reveal is perfect.

  • Paul Eiding is the narrator (Roy Campbell in Metal Gear Solid series...). One of the best voice acting in video games history.

  • lol this is before the days of blessed hammer and enigma... that pally woulda been fucked up! :D

  • Lol @ the graphics.

  • If'n that don't bring back memories.

    I remember playing the shit out of this on my Playstation, since I didn't have a PC way back when.

  • i remember seeing this trailer and starcraft teaser in my old warcraft 2 cd. i love everything about this intro

  • the first diablo had the scariest soundtrack lol

  • ...so what was up with that sword?

  • @jbecker8082 I remember playing this game and watching the blood in the all the butcher layer. The Butcher was a beast! Scared the shit out of me and my friend when he came running in with the cleaver to scrap our noob head. Was nice playing with my friend at the time with a built home LAN system. No more LAN party anymore.

  • Does anyone know where i can download the whole game?

    Im dieing to play it.

  • @bethsqeak you can buy it! It's very cheap

  • man i used to play this game like crazy back in the day same with starcraft 1

  • Diablo kinda' sounds like a hidralysk.

  • i dont like any of you... the only person i like is myself...

  • i don't a higher resolution of starcraft hurry up and diblo 3 and then warcraft 4

  • IT'S GRISWOLD'S EDGE!! AZUREWRATH STILL DOESN'T EXIST IN DIABLO 1.. GOOD TIMES.. GOOD TIMES..

  • @netpakers I don't think it is... look in the Diablo Manual: the lore's got some stuff that never appeared in the game.

    And btw it could be. I used Griswold's Edge to kill Diablo XD.

  • I love this game! Scared the crap out of me when it first came out tho

  • The sword in the ground is azurewrath, the sword Tyrael uses in diablo 2 to destroy the worldstone in the LoD Ending.

  • @lZlKing SHHHHH!

    No got round to finishing that yet!! :D

  • The Diablo scream at the end is just so... epic...

  • I LOVE YOU DIABLO

  • 1.13 dupes out ... this ones real watch?v=_wlAcqy3akU

  • god damn. this game is so fucking gothic. dark. creepy. holy shit this is sick. the first quest in this game was hard as hell from what i remember. "ahhh fresh meat." holy shit. hahha. i was 7 playing this game.! They should remake diabo 1. keep it the same just new graphics...

  • UGH those graphics lol, remember when that was top'o the line?

  • Is this a online game?

  • @Kingcays it;s single player and online

  • Ah, the memories. I love Diablo II and I'm sure that #3 will rock, but the original will always have a special place in my heart. :)

  • I never saw that sword in the game o.O

  • the was to hard for me so I stopd playing it but still graet game

  • I would go so far as to say that this is the best rpg-game of all time!

  • I hope Diablo III is as dark and mysterious as the first one!

  • Why Diablo 2 isn't so dark?? Why?? But Diablo II still a great game... but changed a lot, I hope Diablo III don't change a lot, more than has already changed.

  • not a place i wanted to be

  • @Nilleboy1005 (in a good way) :D

  • @Destro7000 But anyways Diablo is a very cool game! i haven't played nr 1 yet cause i dont know where to get it :(

  • @Nilleboy1005 amazon, you can buy it still, and you can go to wal-mart and buy the battlechest :)

  • @writertrump No i live in Denmark and i cant find it ANYWHERE!

  • the creepiest thing bout diablo for me was the music o.O graphics are not creepy but the music! OMG! fear can kiss diablos red ass ;)

  • @zaddenasdfg the graphics were creepy too.

  • @Destro7000 yeeee it was now that i think of it. so creepy at its time. ! omg! the butcher nightmares again!

  • epic

  • That was a really good game. I remember playing it online for hours, back than i actually had to pay by Minute for beeing online (at least here in Austria, but I guess that was pretty much the same also in the US or other parts of Europe).

  • is this real... i mean a diablo movie with this stupid effects and history??

  • This is the introduction video for Diablo I, yes. I don't think it's particularly stupid, however, especially not for when the game was released (1996). Diablo I was a much darker, more atmospheric game. They decided to take the series in a more epic fantasy direction, rather than the gothic horror that was Diablo I, although of course there are still elements of gothic horror in Diablo II.

  • @Kitsune44X diablo 1 was all about duping... diablo 2 was all about scamming, quite sad how everyone didnt actually play the game from start to finish they just went online and got lv 99 and looked at their name :(

  • @rbNNNN Not all of us were like that, my brother, friends and I played it single player a lot before we were able to play multiplayer.

  • well said Kitsune44x.

  • OW JEEEEE

    Old diablo (oldyes but goldyes)

  • I don't know why, but this version of diablo scares me a lot more than the newer version...

  • Yes, Diablo 1 has a lot more atmosphere then the newer parts.

  • @Tomdogg449 it's just darker, more atmospheric and more story-driven, rather than gameplay-driven. A lot of work went into that little game ...then Diablo 2 came along and didn't take itself very seriously.

  • @Tomdogg449 It's just got better atmosphere, I think. Darker and more claustrophobic.

  • @Tomdogg449 maybe because it was dark back then and scared the sshit out of most people now that i watch this im going to play my diablo i hope i dont get my ass kicked by the bucther first :O

  • @Tomdogg449 It's a lot more suspenseful and haunting in nature I agree completely.

  • @Tomdogg449 yea man, it's cuz the first two were more dynamic. they knew when to make your neck crawl, and when to have a huge monster burst through the wall. and matt uelman (who isn't writing D3's score) is an incredible musical composer, and an absolute genius when it comes to creating a suspenseful atmosphere that makes you dread opening the next door... diablo 3, while it does look very good, just doesn't seem to have that quiet, eerie and morbid atmosphere that the first two had.

  • @Metalbrain89

    Isn't that almost always the case? Why bother even making new sequels to good old games? Devs can't seem to come up with anything new these days...

  • @Tomdogg449 just 'cos it's actually good.

  • @Tomdogg449

    atmosphere is what creates the dread. example of bad atmosphere (imo dont crucify me lol) : fear 2 is not scary at all because by the end of the first game we are used to it. this game however, i am still admittedly afraid to play at 17 because of nightmares of it i had at age 6. lol. why i played it at age 6 idk ask my dad :P.

  • @Tomdogg449 because you played this when you were younger

  • @Tomdogg449 i'd bet every player feels the same way. This was a true horror game, and a really good one with great gameplay.

  • @Tomdogg449 It's because the new version is like some freakin dragon. This is what Satan should be, somewhat a red human...

  • What is the sword in the movie? Any significance, or just for epicness?

  • Epicness mostly. It *may* have been Shadowfang, a sword which was going to be a big feature in the original concept for Diablo I, but that part of the storyline was ultimately cut out of the final version of the game. We do meet Izual, the fallen angel who was supposed to wield that sword, in Diablo II, however, on homage to that part of the plot which was removed from the original Diablo game. More than likely just some sword in this intro though.

  • Thanks for the NW mod link, and nice video, i love Diablo series.

  • This is the reason why i love RPG upto now

    Diablo is epic FTW

  • I have never seen a better Devil anywhere or since Diablo came out. That is still the ultimate Badass Devil ever. The devil in Ledgend is a close second but, can't really compare those two. One's all Evil suave and, the Diablo one is just Brutal badass tear you a new asshole or two maby three. Much kudos to the original artist.

  • its 10 years old, but still looks so good - man , I wanna play it...

  • same :(

  • More like 13 years old man. 1996 was it's debut :) I was 15

  • @qtismyname in 1996 i was born haha that game has my age ;D

  • great creepy sound effects and music

  • epic intro !!

  • blizzard makes the BEST hack/slash RPGs period!

  • very creepy for back in the day

  • This intro and the Butcher are really scary when you are just 8 years old.

  • I used to start the game then delete it if i got bucher as a quest! i always took the poisened well quest. i was 10 though

  • estimated release for Diablo 3 is about 2011 - 2012. same year where all those doomsday quacks preach the "end of days".. so strange
