  • God this brings back memories....i remember i used to try to play this when i was 7....i could get past the first dungeon before wetting my pants from fear...XD its good to see this again.

  • I played this game when it was first released. I was a kid. This trailer scared the living fuck out of me. and it still does.

  • Why cant Diablo 3 have nice scary graphics like this one? Needs more gore

  • Stay a while, and listen!

  • every time I see this scene when I was kid I always feel scared and can't sleep the night.

  • i never understood the meaning of the sword in this movie. is it the sword you craft with the blacksmith? but what is it doing there and why is it already crafted? i can think of no other special swords in the game

  • Früher als kleines Kind fand ich dieses Intro sowas von verdammt gruselig! XD

    Vorallem das Ende XD

  • i want D4 to be a remastered version of D1 with new twists and relatively the same plot. with more classes and other places to go outdoors.

  • This game has amazing atmosphere.

  • still i play it i complete the d1 with warrior and now i started hellfire with the monk

    5/5

  • bad ass

  • gotta love the dark-themed music

  • i heard stories that the creator of the first diablo game left blizzard after releasing that game he never come back and never heard from him ever again!

  • Comment removed

  • In the beginning, it sounds like Lineage 2... Oh...

  • 0:19 i imagine a screamer coming up right there

  • d1 takes a crap on d3's graphics!

  • I was in grade 6 when this came out! Friggin awesome game!

  • lol wtf do you mean with 1996 soon 20 yearS? learn to count ;P

  • @Kaldyo it will be 20 years in 2016, why don't you learn to count?

  • Ksiądz Piotr Natanek poleca !

  • God, I love the screech Diablo does at the end of this video, scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it; nowadays, it's still one of the better creepy moments.

  • @Kaesoism

    Yeah, I thought so too.

    It's definitely one of the more unique sounding roars compared to what we typically expect to hear.

  • Man, i love how blizzard focused on the really mystic and gothic atmosphere in D1, D2 lost a bit of it, not a scary game like D1, but D3 seems to have lost it completely. I know it might a bit to early to judge since its not out yet but still, you can still tell which game is the scariest, I feel like they lost the whole 'Diablo' thing where its supposed to be really dark and merciless, I just hope that I am wrong

  • @WhatTheFOKK: Define merciless : /.

  • @Khornedevotee Yeah it might not have been what i was really looking for, maybe something like "Dark and depressive". Merciless came to mind when i was writing, but when i think about it i guess it was the wrong word xD

  • two people jumped at Diablo :D

  • 2 people are Cowards and going not in the Labyrinth!

  • Fucking Masterpiece. Still getting goosebumps when I think about how I felt back then...and now!

  • I used to play this on the PSX, 2 players ruled ! :3

  • One of the GREATEST games EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • compare D1 to D3 you will see, D1 is for adults and D3 for the wow kids fuck off Blizz, shame on you. look at this masterpiece and look what you have done now

  • @Insanaty Erm...okay?

  • symbolism, names or anything that is related to christanity to prevent further oppositions directed by the church or the community or even by the government.

    for example.

    archbishop lazarus, was indeed a christian bishop but later on it is converted to some fictional religion's spiritual leader. doing it so blizzard sacrificed the gothic theme of the game in latter installation diablo 2.

    yet bitter taste of legendary diablo remains. and diablo 3 will be shit if we compare the themes

  • here is the real story that will relieve doubts about the video

    why there is some content excluded from diablo 1 though it appears in the video.

    the original game is inspired from dante's inferno, story wise. a knight steps through the gates of hell, traveling every level of hell to save his beloved. a heavy christian symbolism was present in the game. yet this was cut as the studio merged with blizzard and took the name Blizzard North, policies of the company enforced of removal of religious

  • Here is what you do not have in game today, it's the atmosphere. And I doubt that they will be as interesting as before. Games now are awful, seriously.

  • D3 looks Discovery Kids compared to D1

  • @Mizeravelzinho what does that mean?

  • @Mizeravelzinho dude d3 looks like disneyland and shit while d1 looks like exorcist.. fuck blizzard for making d3 a fusion of wow gayness and some other rpg game

  • @Mizeravelzinho I'm tired about people complaining how Diablo 3 is "cartoony" and "too bright". Do you seriously want the game to be set in 50 copy/paste dungeons where you feel like a rat finding a way out of a maze, or go into open lively landscapes and paint them all with demon blood? It certainly has less pentagrams and satanic symbols, but I don't see the problem with that, it's still dark and edgy. -_-

    Just watch the Black Soulstone cinematic, does it still look like Discovery Kids?

  • @narrat0r12 That's right. And, even if someone thinks it's "bright" and "cartoony", there's a simple solution: adjust the monitor's (or the graphics driver's) color, contrast and brightness, until it's dark, black and white. Classic!

  • Blizzard are awesome at making cinematics!

  • @MegiddoVidoq Yeah, but they take that credit wrongly that they focus on creating cinematics too much instead of developing the game efficiently.

  • @Str4t0sPh3rE True

  • Where is Jack!?

  • The beginning of a great game.....

  • playing Diablo + listening to KREATOR at the same time = Moment of the day!!

  • diablo is scaring me

  • Diablo 1 was the shit.

    Nothing could beat my Magus.

    Just mana shield + teleport + spawn few hydras + few chain lightnings + teleport away = win.

    It was funny to kill goatman by teleporting into closed room spawn 2 hydras and teleport away and just waiting there when you start listening to slaughter.

  • This game destroyed my life :D. I was 14 when I got this game. My average dropped about 30 percent and now I work at mcdonalds. That's ok because I'm gonna be the first one to get it when diablo 3 comes out!!!! P.S. I'm 14 and a half right now :DDD

  • @yu00889 LOL! I laughed at the end of that, but Diablo is AWESOME!!!

  • 1996,,,soon 20 years !!!!! Still I would play it again....Masterpiece

  • @Sawaki83

    then play it.

    i do xD

  • @Sawaki83 i feel a bit old right now lolz

  • @Sawaki83 me too

  • @Sawaki83 that is a legend!!!

  • @Sawaki83 im thinking of getting it do you recond me me getting the game?

  • @Sawaki83 recommend*

  • @Sawaki83 and again and again and again

  • Greatest Game Ever and same with Diablo 2 for both were the greatest games of all and nothing can equal them now and forever.

  • Diablo screaming at the end gives me some serious shivers and goosebumps..

  • I had the misfortune of having loud speakers when I played this for the first time and when Diablo roars at the end I jumped clean out of my chair like I got scary mazed hahaha

  • Diablo 1 is the best part, and have the best music and story!!!

    Diablo 3 hahahaha, what a sh..!!!

  • I'm 22 years old now and I still find it creepy. But i remember when I played this game when I was like 11 or something, damn i fucking shitted in my pants...I was so fucking scared when I played it..so my question is...do you guys think that diablo 3 is gonna be scary ass hell or just a game where you kill monster?

  • @Alpito123 Unfortunately the latter =/

  • @Alpito123 Right now, with all the Gameplay videos, it looks like Diablo 3 is gonna have WoW-like graphics, but with an RTS Camera view. It looks alot like Diablo 2 for gameplay, but apparently they're gonna have class specific quests and lots of side quests. I'm so pumped for the game, but because of the graphics, I'm afraid my computer won't be able to take it.

  • @Alpito123: You are only scared so far in your life. It's mostly the music that did the most part of the atmosphere not the darkness. It's because the music was made to fit to the darkness or the darkness was made to fit with the music or something like that. Why should a game be dark to be scary? Isn't it funnier to SEE what you kill instead of hardly seeing the silhuets? I would love to see how Blizzard made their monsters and see their details.

  • That crow used to scare the be-jesus out of me back then.

  • those dead bodies hanging from the branches always creeped me out.

  • Legendary Diablo 1996! Diablo 2 is a diffirent game just as Diablo 3 will be. If you haven't played Diablo 1 then you haven't played Diablo at all.

  • @Igorsov: I disagree. You only need to play the games you like. I myself however love ALL Diablo games, including what I've seen of D3 so far as well as Diablo 1. I found it very difficult down in the Hell levels. Creepy place(walls of bone and rivers of blood, some says it's lava but lava doesn't look like that and I find it looks more like blood, inside the walls and flesh on the walls as well). Wow this takes me back. The Hell Knights were a pain >< XD. Fun game though :). Beat it 2-3 times.

  • "Aaaaaaah....Fresh meat!"

  • 10000000/10

  • HOLY SHIT!!! who else had to get there ears fixed after hearing diablos "war cry" BTW this is better then Diablo 2

  • I feel a chill run down my spine every time i see this

  • never played diablo 1 but ive beaten diablo 2 and cant wait for diablo 3

  • @MrMakinghumor

    wow, im jealous of your grandma :O

  • everything in that game went to hell at 1:15 and the part where cool music kicks in.............ah good old classic horror music then HE shows up screaming for mercy by my Blade >:D LMFAO

  • HOLY SHIT this would be scary shit if they made a movie out of it live action and its 3 hours a terror though the whole thing and the tralier was the intro for diablo 1 only live action cinematic DAMN,im scared now if they do but what the hell ill see it anyway :D

  • PURE RPG PERFECTION!!!!!

    please find time to relisten to the village sountrack... that is just amazing

  • TERROR 1.36

  • im pretty sure the sword on the hill was in the WC II cinematics as well.

  • While sitting in a dark room, wearing earphones with the sound cranked up, and watch Satan scream on a big screen, I pissed my pants

  • Das macht auch heute noch Laune ( die abwechselden Quests sind ne echt gute Idee gewesen )! Einfach super, good old times!!!

  • diablo 1 scared the crap out of me diablo 2 is fun as hell but lost its scaryness :(

  • once*

  • Wow, sweet game

  • You have a other taste, ok.

  • Comment removed

  • diablo 1 sucks

  • @Zakaree5 FUCK YOU

  • Diablo 1 ist der Beste Teil, unheimlicher Hintergrund, sehr gute Geschichte, coole Musik und gothische Aufmachung. Auf der Play Station ist das Spiel sogar auf deutsch sowie die ganze Hintergrundgeschichte, die man sich anzuhören kann. Die PC Version leider Englisch, aber Grafik und Steuerung besser.

    PS das Video von Diablo 3 ist wie ne Mischung aus Warcraft 3, Herr der Ringe und was sonst noch, der letzte Mist, das ist kein Diablo, ich erkenne es nicht mehr wider.

  • @deuschritter

    ja habs damals auch auf der playsi gezockt. war der hammer

  • @deuschritter  total agree diablo 3 ist ein knieschuss für jeden diablo1 fan

  • The intro movie alone was epic what more could you ask for?

  • Does anyone know about the cinematic with the dark wanderer and the soulstone is glowing bright red and he is sitting in a wagon or something it has been a long time and i want to see it again but if anyone has an idea please post a link to it under this comment

  • @iamverymad67 That's one of the official movie intro's of Diablo 2 where we see Dark Wanderer's voyage towards the east

  • looks like i need to add this game to the "need to play" pile! lol i only heard of starcraft from Brizzard

  • @newnewpoint wow where have you been? lol they have made many good games. You should check them all out :)

  • Man I wish I still had this.

  • They should remake diablo 1 but more in a prince of persia style. The RPG element wouldn't fit in if you only stay in one village that gets destroyed later on. Plus it would be more scary since you know that upgrading is out of the question and skill is the only answer to survive

  • I know nothing about this game but it looks cool.Is it p2p or f2p?

  • @sickpuppiesfan9 wtf? never played??

  • @sickpuppiesfan9 You can buy Diablo I on the Blizz official site.

  • @sickpuppiesfan9 its a old ass blizzard f2p game you just have to buy the CD <.<

  • omg i loved this game back in the days and i think its better then Diablo 2. ahhh i remember when i was playing this game when i was 6 and i remember encountering the fucking butcher and holy hell when i walked in that room i litteraly shit my self (im currently 16)

  • all of diablo's cinematics are all fucked up and you dont understand shit.

  • hey... my coloring is jacked up, u know how to fix it?

  • Thats so true, then things get so fucked up as you go on, ahh fucken Lazarus thats bastard freed Diablo and it freed its brother, nothing else woulda happened

  • Diablo 1 is epic, its creepy and eerie environment makes you feel like you were really part of the game, scary, dark and evil environment combined with sound effects make it even scarier. I just hope they make Diablo 3 this way not graphics wise but eerie wise. Dark and scary should be the best environment for diablo :)

  • EPIC!

  • does anyone remember the old diablo 1 blizzard video where he travels in that carriage and drops that red stone? ive been looking for that everywhere

  • now this is a trailer! this was when blizzard came up with quality games :(

  • dude..this game is hella scary lol I remember being traumatized by the butcher for weeks when I first played this

  • @lordangelic  HAHAHA same here bro, same here...

  • That intro was freakin sweet back then!

  • jsuis dsl de dire pour tous se qui aime diablo mais j'aime mieu wow

  • this is cool

  • I miss Diablo... Diablo > Wow

  • In terms of atmosphere I've yet to play an action RPG that surpasses Diablo 1. I'm glad the art direction for Diablo 3 was reviewed and hope it falls more in line with this original classic. The Tristram theme still resonates with me, I hope it's something they retain throughout the series.

    From a gameplay perspective it wasn't perfect but at the time this game changed the way I thought about games. Only Diablo 2 has managed to inspire similar feelings since.

  • I wanna play diablo 1 :D

    but where can i download it ? >.>

  • This game scared the shit out of me when I was 10 years old. I remember my 80 year old grandfather, would sit beside me and watch me play computer games during the summer, this was the only game he liked to watch!

  • where can i find diablo the movie?

  • man compared 2 diablo 2, diablo 1 is a scary ass game

  • @adagjlzhepr

    yes but now D3 looks too friendly... compared with D2 if u ask me and with 1 ofc.. no doubt

  • @adagjlzhepr If you played it when it first came out, and its graphics were good for that time. You woulda pissed urself like me.

  • @MrCharger567

    Couldnt agree more, i think i was like 11 years or something when i played this the first time,

  • @adagjlzhepr Yeah! Hope that the 3rd one will be as full of possibilities like the second, but as scary and athmospheric as the first!

  • @KungVanargand forget it.. it looks like wow cartoony 100%.. fun anyway..but no the same atmosphere.

  • @orlandothx eh, the third is plenty dark, have you not seen teh gameplay trailers? There a zombies crawling teh side of cliffs in dark dungeons. I think maybe you're not used to decent graphics?

  • @kro235 .. i just gonna tell you just one thing: light radius as it self..have disapear forever.. so you can se the whole room.... is this dark? what happend to the Light radius modificator present on d1 & d2? :S Cheers.

  • @orlandothx so u think d1 is better than d2 and d3 because of a light radius? Wow i'm glad you're not making d3.

  • @kro235 absolutly not.. i wonder.. WHat the hells do they think quiting light radius?. Mark my words.. this will be the last Diablo....torchlight in the future will be the NEXT diablo... couse the real diablo lost his soul.. and maybe u dont understand this.. but playing diablo and diablo 2 bettwen 1996 & 2002 was sacred thing.. out of this world... now diablo 3 looks dated...and its nothing new to the game marchet.... this will be the last .:) cheers.

  • @orlandothx the last cheers but not the last dick u suck fucking queer

  • @FREEZERQC 3 years old that u can't keep an adult talk? Cheers :)

  • @orlandothx: ''this will be the last'' -That YOU will play I wager :). Cheers.

  • @adagjlzhepr agreed...its was way darker and not only because of lighting effects! Music, gameplay....everything was put together to create that mood

  • When you think about it...these are really good graphics for 1997!

  • no it was from 1996. i have to say the atmosphere was very scary. even more than in d 2

  • @EmotionalShredd:

    Yeah D2 had the better gameplay but D1 had the best atmosphere. I remember playing this game when I was like 9 and having the poo scared out of me over and over. Like when I first found the Butcher's room, just opening doors all over the place, nothing to worry about, la la la, then all of a sudden out of this door "MMMMMM FRESH MEAT" with the speakers turned up loud. LOL so funny, I probably screamed like a little girl. =P

    Great game.

  • btw...what is that sword!?!?!?!?

  • @myttn

    Maybe Frostmourne... who knows...

    I think Kil Jaeden could be Diablo's cousin.

  • this game is just as old as me :) and i started to play it one year ago to bad i say! wish i got it when i was born then it would have been so awsome! nowdays its just talk about D3 it looks cool though.

  • epic...epic...EPIC!!!!!

  • I think it is its simplicity that makes it so much better than diablo 2. diablo 1 just was about one doomed little village with one cursed little chapel, and hell followed beneath. Just about diggin deeper and deeper, where it´s get darker and darker, until you meet diablo.

  • I agree. Diablo 2 is so typical of a game made in the 2000s... just all over the place. Both were fun though. But not much of an impact like Diablo 1.

  • @blockprodukt Well, I'm pretty sure that one you go down 1 floor its just as dark as the deepest, as no sunlight means no sunlight. But yea, I think it has a very unique and good plot.

  • @blockprodukt

    I'm getting a bad feeling that Diablo 3 will be rainbows and sunshine....

    :(

  • @Soothfish if what I've read is true, Diablo 3 will suck cause they removed the funniest-to-play classes (pala, necro, assassin and druid). Again, I'm not sure this is true, but if it is, then I won't EVER play that game :x

  • @MysterioFan02: It's only your loss m8. Not Blizzard's. Take in mind that Blizzard MAY add Necro, even if Witch Doctor is in the game bc Witch Doctor summons undead dogs and zombies and all that while Necromancers summons skeletons and golems : /. Paladin can also be put in the game even if Monk is present. So don't lose your hopes yet. PERIOD!

  • @blockprodukt thats true...i didn't rlly like going to a new place every 10 minutes of playing. but diablo 1 was perfect

  • I honestly can not say how much of an emotional impact this video has on me. This is one of the first great games I ever played in my life, and I'm sure I'll remember it years from now. In comparison to Diablo II, I would have to say D1 had a darker atmosphere, which I richly enjoyed.

  • Very dark video, I like it... Diablo 2 is a great game, but I think it miss some of this dark atmosphere

  • D1 was better than D2 because it was.. 1. More challenging 2. Had way more charisma 3. Better music and atmosphere 4. Better balance in the classes/items 5. The succubi were bare chested. If you disagree you can kindly go chew on some glass :).

  • rofl

  • when i first played Diablo , i was ..... 11 or 12 years old , and from then to now this game is one of my favorite !!!!!

  • I actually hated this game back in the day. D2 hooked me into Diablo games forever

  • I remember getting this game for my birthday and trying to play it on my parents 486. I was so dissapointed.

  • kill daiblo gogogogo

  • alien0verlord, this game is apparently older than you so go away.

  • Most awesome opening to a computer fantasy game ever.

  • Considerbly one of the best CG work of all time. In 1995-1996 this game was released with that CG video. Today i'm in VFx and cg artist because of this video which wow'ed me in 1996 and even the game too. Hats off to whoever did this he must be the most talented CG artist in the world.Imagine there wouldn't be such amazing rendering system in those days. Even today if u want to render this video it would hardly take 3days to do it! I'm just blinded by these people and Idsoftware.

  • noone cares aahha lolol

  • man, I grew up on this game, im so grateful to have played it. I remember i had this pimping Rogue in all black armor. She owned.

  • Bilzard allways makes incredible plots and cinematics. Diablo 1 is no exception. Love this game.

  • I remember the first time i fought diablo .. i threw my gamepad and runned away from my t.v :P

  • ya once when i was a noob i was playin diablo 2 and the screen started shake n and it said diablo walks earth again and i shit my pants and ran away .

  • wicked ;-)

  • Cool story, bro.

  • It is such as black metal...
