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. What about the Half-Life series? Especially Half-Life 2. | ||

It's supposed to be brutal and disgusting, not light and colourful. The dark atmosphere of Diablo is what made me buy the game after seeing a friend play it. That atmosphere is totally lacking in Diablo III. | ||

You'll barely ever get cutting edge graphical technology in their games and with the development time saved for leaving them out spend it on things that keep their games selling for years and even decades. Do you think people keep playing D2 and BW for the incredibly advanced technology? | ||

I understand some wanted it to be "darker" but that aside, nobody plays a game like Diablo for the look. Something like Silent Hill, Ico, Shadow of Colossus etc are games where visuals serve a much higher purpose than something like Diablo or Starcraft. The game is about as dark as SC2 is, and SC2 is actually still quite dark in tone, the Zerg units look absolutely evil and disgusting, while Protoss look pretty and eternal. I hope that same tone is kept in Diablo 3. | ||

That being said, Diablo 1 had mad crazy atmosphere. Most depressing game I have played. | ||

I still enjoy d2, and that's in frigging sprites pretty much. They're perfect as they are. That said, I was a 'lil suprised the first time I saw the wireframe on the characters, but it seems to get better with some armor ontop! | ||

Looks beautiful to me, ESPECIALLY the environments. there were many spots in D2 that just looked so stunning. (I.E. the plateau where you fight the ancients in act 5) I could just chill there and gaze at the rest of the act that i had just traveled through from the peak. It was simple and wonderful, and it looks like there will be many such spots in D3 Also: the graphics do absolutely everything they need to do without cluttering things beyond ridiculousness.... Which is all i ask from a graphics engine in the first place. Bitching about color schemes during beta...? UGH! | ||
