I'm going to trust them and just wait until I actually play DIII to see how it feels.
I agree - but I would bet that since this uproar has started they may just take a small step back and see what they could do to sort of remedy this visual "problem" the fans are having.. but my guess is not everything is complete yet (duh lol) and in the end we will feel the horror, but its worth a try to get it a bit more dark
Just quit whining. You aren't making the game. You have no say. You can't change anything.
I like the new art style. I like everything about what we have seen of Diablo 3. It's not because I like WoW or Guild Wars or any of that crap mentioned (which has nothing to do with anything). I am a pure Diablo fan. The Diablo games are the only Blizzard games I have ever played.
All of these Diablo "fans" shouldn't have any problem with what Blizzard dishes out. Just be glad D3 was finally announced! If you were true "fans" of the series it wouldn't even matter. As long as we get to go on with the epic Diablo storyline.

Anyone obsessively participating in whining right now, go bide your time by writing dark poetry about your anguish-filled emo heart.
Hmm, It actually seems like some of us need to reevaluate how we think this game is "supposed" to be. So overall, everyone has an issue with the less gothic, gritty look. Quite honestly, the only real issue I see from an art point of view is the hue contrast SO FAR. Lets address some things.
-D3 does not look like WoW. Lets be for real. The level of stylization is not even close to the same. WoW is almost completely stylized, whereas D3, SO FAR, is not. There is a realistic value scale, there is indeed a level of violence animation wise and style wise that is not present in WoW. Vibrant colors? Well in the cathedral, how vibrant were the colors really? There was mainly a use of simple blues and greys with slight changes in their respective chroma. This is nothing major. The outside area? well its outside. Again, contrast in hues is an issue but lets not forget that its a work in progress. Is there not supposed to be lush flora and fauna OUTSIDE? just because its Diablo doesn't mean the sun cant shine. There is something dark and perverse about demons and zombies attacking you in an area of daylight and greenery in itself. It violates secure ideals. Lets also not exaggerate with our assessments people.
-What can we accurately say about the character models not fitting a Diablo game? The barbarian looked like a barbarian. In fact, there isn't much to the barb. He looks almost unchanged in terms of design.
Now the witch doctor. Well any of you ever seen a witch doctor? Any of you actually realize that, hailing from Africa, there is definitely high use of color, hue contrast, value change. Overall they are pretty vibrant dudes. The model for him is perfect. The headress, his posture, his proportions. That is how a WD would look.
I too am a hardcore Diablo fan, but Im also an artist and a gamer and I know that these things that people are complaining about are NOT game breaking. You guys sound like a bunch of introverts who never go outside and wish sorcery was real.

Haha, I like that statement. Seeing as I am an avid emo hater.
I just don't understand why people have to whine. A true fan of Diablo would just be happy that after all of these years the one thing we have all been waiting for was finally announced.
Reading back i see not many people have looked at some of the new screen shots. The wizard is in the middle of the darkest non-colorful graveyard I've ever seen! No more flaming about lack of darkness you previous posters! :thumbsup:
