If you’ve pre-ordered the game you’ll pick up a set of Infernal Pauldrons, and you’ll get a nifty Legendary ring for linking your Xbox Live or PSN accounts with your Blizzard account.
The first thing you’ll notice is that the game runs at an absolutely gorgeous 1080p resolution and at 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 4 and on the Xbox One, leaving no appreciable difference between them in terms of graphical presentation.
There really isn’t a laundry list of new features in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition for the PlayStation 4, but that isn’t to say it is bare bones by any stretch of the imagination. Could a move to the PlayStation 4 combine everything that was right with the Xbox 360 version, and the stellar updates brought by Reaper of Souls on the PC to live up to the Ultimate Evil Edition tag they’ve stuck on the box? The only hitch I found with the expansion pack on PC (again, a refresher right here) was that it was stuck behind the always-on DRM – something that seems unnecessary now that it no longer protects the real-money Auction House. With the closure of the Auction House, and all of the upgrades in the new loot system, Reaper of Souls felt like the Diablo III that team Blizzard wanted to make when the game first launched. Diablo III on the PC picked up an update and a slew of new features including Adventure Mode, Loot 2.0, the Crusader class, a fresh chapter to continue the story, and a devastatingly-powerful antagonist in Malthael with the expansion pack this past March. If you think back 11 months (or you’d care for a refresher) you might recall that my review of the Xbox 360 version praised the game for the new radial menu system, pick up and play mechanics, and for just how seamlessly the cooperative play worked. Some folks have slain demons on the PC, some have only hunted the Lord of Terror on consoles, but they all want to know if Diablo III retains its crown as The Dark Lord of the Couch. It’s the simplest answer to the deluge of questions I’ve had over the last few days when people have seen that I’m playing Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition on my PlayStation 4 and they want to know whether it’s worth picking up.
