It looks...ok. Definately doesn't have the right feel to it though.

All those screenshots are at least 3 years old. And the game has changed a LOT. Did you see any footage from the beta? All of the zones from it are really dark, anymore dark and you would be looking at a black screen.

It's just that the atmosphere doesn't match with Diablo at all. But then again it's only beta, expect alot of changes untill release. I wouldn't sweat it too much right now.

Why is the ground bright green?


i have to admit, 'necromancers choice' looks way more appealing to me.

Why are people taking year old screenshots and using that as justification for it not being what they want? From what I've seen the atmosphere totally matches Diablo.

I've watched a lot of videos and I played in a "sandbox" which just allows you to walk around in the environment. And to me it feels exactly like a Diablo game, the atmosphere is perfect IMO.

Oh well, from what i've seen on FnF streams - there's plenty of atmosphere.
In the end, you could always use your graphic card drivers to do color correction curves in a photoshop manner to fit your needs ^^

Diablo 3 has some AMAZING art direction and that makes all the difference in the world. There isn't a single game out there that has aged as well as Blizzard's games. I don't see why some of you are bashing WoW's art design, when it is in fact among the best in the business. Diablo 3 drawing inspiration from WoW is a good thing. Another thing is the insane level of detail in the animations. From what I've seen from the beta footage, Diablo 3 looks gorgeous.
Also the game has much more colour simply because it makes all these little details stand out. If it was like that shitty photoshoped screenshot above, the game would have been a pale and lifeless mess.

Why is the ground bright green?

While I will agree that the Necromancer's choice looks a bit more appealing due to the darkness, Blizzard has said it time and time again that the engine isn't capable of that. I believe it was along the lines of "they can't get lighting done like that because the engine isn't smart enough, etc..."

All that person did was lower the saturation and increase the contrast and aid grain.

Edit: Actually the more i look at it he probably added some darker spots manually too to mimic better shadows.
But yeah, i still think the thing that reason it looks better isnt really the lighting but just the crunched up values and less saturation.

overall it seems kind of underwhelming, as with all blizz games, the graphics are nothing special.
Huh...

It's 2011 and they still have an engine so weak they cant do lighting right? I think they actually said it would be too hard to play if it was that dark to be fair.

I just hope it'll be able to run on my laptop. With lowest graphical settings anyway, I cannot care less for the graphics :D

The atmosphere seems all good to me but what I have a problem with is all these damn combat effects. D1 and 2 had a rustic and "realistic" feel to the combat. When you hit someone with an axe all you got was some blood splatter, very few attacks had spectacular effects. In D3 it seems like you cant' swing that damn axe without colorful flashes and effects littering your screen. I hate that, otherwise it looks really great.

From playing in the beta i can say that the game is pretty dark and the atmosphere very much fits Diablo. I have a history of having low Brightness on my screen though, have had lots of comments about it in the past. But if that's what causes it for me then people complaining about darkness can just turn their own brightness down.

As for impaled corpses and such, they are around. As well as pools of blood and dead stuff to turn around for loot. Perhaps not in the same amount as the first 2 games had, but we shall see later on when the game is released and more content is accessible, the beta is after all very small.

The art development in D3 is insane.

Also this poll is premature, the game isn't out yet. There are a lot of graphical touches that are omitted from the beta.

For evidence of how a game improves graphically from beta to release, look at DE3

it looks almost like torchlight. I am slightly disappointed to say the least.

I can understand that blizzard is trying to accommodate as many players as possible but from what i've seen from the streams it isn't something graphically impressive.
