(Vote): Bad, hate it!
(Vote): Good artwork but thats all!

My personal opinion, from what i've seen, is that both artwork and design look absolutely
awesame! but I cant wait to see how my own computer handle it, aswell as the feel of the game.

As i'm not F&F i've only watched videos on youtube aswell as streams.
but so far, i'm really looking forward to it!

Whats your opinion?

This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.

Look at the vods from the first act, its very dark. The difference is simply that d2 was prerendered graphics and d3 is true 3d. I rather like the graphics and if d3 is simply to bright for you then you can alwys turn the gamma down.

I was shocked how people reacted to the first screenshots of Diablo 3. Yes, they were colorful, but i did not like the overall aggressiveness and pessimism.
Now Diablo 3 seems to be a really goodlooking game. The design is atmospheric and from what i've heard from players the engine just "feels" good". There's so many game with graphic engines that feel really shitty, but that's always been a strength of Blixxard.

I like it, and never got mad during the 'color controversy'.

I do however miss the butchered corpses and gruesome doodads of Diablo I (or even II).

They need to improve on that.

Diablo 3 looks nice, Diablo 1 looks scary.

The only thing I don't like is that it feels to me like there is a disconnect between the characters and the background. I don't know if it's the lighting or colors or whatever, but something makes it seem like characters looks out of place and not part of the same environment.

It looks pretty impressive, but imo, not as impressive looking as sc2. After how amazing looking sc2 was when it released, I had higher expectations for D3, but I'm definitely not disappointed.

I like it. 2D isometric is much better than the 3d 1st/3rd person crap they put out nowadays.

The game looks decent. The art style is coherent, the scenery is full of detail. This will be true for years to come. Technologically though, Diablo 3 is nothing special at all. What disturbs me most is the low polygon count and very flat looking surfaces.

Decent, but not the best for me. Generally everything is quite all right, but I don't like some of the choices they made (for instance imo there's too many pastel-ish colour presence in the game). I'm significantly more optimistic about it then when they first showed the graphics though.

Yeah, I like my gibs too, it's hack and slash after all :-)
It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather than to bow one's head and succumb.

The low polygons / terrible textures on characters themselves is actually pretty shocking to me, but luckily like all other blizzard games the art itself is top notch.

The game looks like it was made 6 years ago, but I'm mostly fine with it.

I resent the change of tone between D2 and D3. D3 feels more "epic" and WoW-y than the grungy horror style of D2 and D1, which really made D2 so intense for me. It was actually scary. Fighting Diablo in Tristram in D1 and then Mephisto and Diablo again in D2 would feel a great deal less intense with the graphics in D3.

I am a little surprised at the graphical quality. Starcraft 2 is simply beautiful, it will be interesting to compare them if I get the beta or when it releases. I feel like the streaming doesn't do it justice though. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

I feel like videos and screenshots don't do the graphics justice. You gotta see it in native resolution and in full motion to see how well they are designed.

Form a pure technological standpoint they aren't advanced at all, they are actually pretty dated.
BUT form a pure artistic standpoint they are incredibly well done. Everything has just the right colors and blends in with the everything else quite well. It almost looks like a 3D oil painting and I've never seen a game that has such an artistic style.

All in all, I'm quite impressed. IMO doesn't need to be incredibly advanced to look really good.

I didn't like it from the very first moment i saw it, but i don't care. I just need a solid gameplay to be entirely happy.

I realy enjoy the music though.

I love it, I think they did an awesome job. People always find something to be unhappy about

Everything is so bright. It's like a kid turned up the color saturation all the way on the TV displays at Circuit City.

Why is the ground bright green?
