Search for Baal Cinematic , New cinematic might be visually detailed, but beside that older version is still a masterpiece considering it was made more than two decades ago. Baal's body language, gestures, little details on facial expressions, lips movement,the way he casts spell, skin on the jaw, neck and the way he leans back and forth is adding so much to character. (24:22) His neck prop have better animation and delay and feels like it has weight , the flags, banners, smoke etc are more lively and wind is perfect for the kind of scene when they charge towards screen at the end. Birds, snow in the air, dust etc all of that is missing in new one. It looks flat , and only the textures and models are more detailed. If you watch it from 24:35 without sound the visuals itself have so much chaos in old version and feels powerful. Feels like the animators were living the character they made. I think i said too much already...my love for Old Diablo is pouring out. I think i am gonna play it one more time.

I agree. Many small elements I think were done better in the old animations. I think a lot of things were more expressive in the old animations. Even the spiders movement in the beginning feel more like how a spider would move (Spiders generally do not stroll along. Either they sit still, move slowly, or more really fast, they tend not have a medium speed.) That is not to say that the new animations are bad. There quite good. But they could have been a bit better I think if they kept the more expensive style as well as worked on making some scenes a bit more readable. The old animations did get that a bit for free since you had less. And less is more sometimes. At least it tends to make thing more readable.

I think that the main problem with the Resurrected cinematics is the body language and the emotion behind it. If you look at Marius at 19:59, the original's Marius has a very constricted, very crept up arms, which shows Marius as not-so-confident individual. Someone who looks like he has something to hide and has been fleeing for long time. However, the Resurrected Marius has more open arms, which shows confidence. It feels kinda off when Marius has been someone who's been chased by both the demons and the angels for not destroying the soul stone for a long time only to have a very confident body language. I think this is the reason why the Resurrected feels lifeless despite having superior graphics.

An improvement overall, particularly in the faces, fire and lighting! I have one nitpick: At 23:29 the old Baal seems to actively dismiss the echoes, showing the character's complete domination of reality. The new one's movement seems less like a conscious dismissal and more a random fidget.

In fact the origin expansion opening cinematic was the one I liked the least from all of the cinematics. Which I think was the best remake from all of the other remakes because they are so emotionless. Just fancy graphics details and effects. Just like any other new blizzard game (sc1 vs sc2 for an instance) which are missing the soul, basically of everything from environment through the characters to the graphics. Also if you compare Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 experience from the game play. Diablo 1 is absolutely crushing it with the escalating tension of the atmosphere and the feeling it delivers to the player... as it was meant to be in the first place as a trully horrifying experience form playing Diablo 1 as you are entering the deepest depths of hell to meet Diablo himself. Absolutely epic. It's sad that all the games nowadays as well as some movies (shining vs Dr. Sleep, which was great btw) are so focused on the effect instead of atmospehere. Guess its how it goes now....yea, that'll be it...I cut it here.

Clearly, the candles in the old version were there to occupy screen space and make it easier to animate, but it makes the viewer feel like they're seeing fromt the perspective of Marius, like someone small, afraid, and huddled to the ground.

I haven't played D2 in a long while and honestly don't feel a huge nostalgia for it. Just comparing the two versions here led me to the above conclusion.

It's nice to see how faithful they were, and also how well the originals hold up, not in render quality but in animation and composition. Found my self enjoying those elements quite a bit more in the originals. An example of this is 0:23 when the original is just a cold and stark steady camera looking down on Marius, while in the Remastered it's slowly spinning moving down. Removes the just stark nature of the original. I also find it kind of weird how much they changed the server in the first one. The shattering of the crystal looks far more magical and arcane in the original in my opinion. I know it got changed because the effect used in the original looks dated to animators, and it is just a face stripping mechanic common in most 3D editing suites these days. Also it's not really animated destruction. But the white inside and over the top shattering looks cooler to me at least, and that could have been done even with the new destruction animation. Great video much appreciated, thanks for the effort!!
