“There’s no going back now,” he said during an interview in a Manhattan hotel where Blizzard was showcasing their newest games. “We’re very happy with how the art style is. The art team’s happy. The company’s happy. We really like this art style, and we’re not changing it.” - Blizzard. :thumbsup:
Penny-Arcade is by far the best gaming comic in existence. Go back and read all of them. I guarantee you will be laughing hysterically on many occasion.
I have always been curious about who made those altered screens. Does that take much effort? Or did he just apply some kind of filters to the overall picture?
I normally like penny arcade... and I like the diablo 3 art direction and thought the whole "zomg look at my awesome photoshop" thing was stupid... but I hated that comic.

"If we're actually making the game worse with no other reason than to be different from WoW, then it's a bad choice." - Jay Wilson (D3 lead designer)
I do realize that not all you people who dislike the art direction of D3 are emos, but that doesn't change the fact that it appears that way to many of us. So I find comics like this one amusing. :]

It's about the easiest thing you can do in Photoshop. Anyone could do it in about 5 minutes or less. You just make a new layer on top of the picture, fill it with a color, and then play around with the layer modes/opacity until you find something that looks "better".
Also, if you would want to desaturate the picture, this only takes a few clicks. Image - Adjustments - Hue/Saturation... - Pull down the saturation thingy - Click OK.
Edit: And for the record; no I did not make any of them. That's just lame when Blizzard has over and over again presented good reasons for their choice of art direction.

Mildly funny. What makes it funny to me is that this is the case with a million unskilled idiots who spend all day on the web thinking they have something to offer when they really don't. Whether it be web design, programing, animating, etc. Go to school and get some real experience then maybe people will take you seriously. That's how the world works.
When has this ever happened though? I've never seen anyone try and take credit like that. Maybe I missed something.
We tried to imagine the sort of person who takes world-class design, changes the contrast, and then calls themselves the artist.

Enjoy.
With that said, PA has a huge hard on for WoW. God forbid someone not like the game they like.

That comic is a representation of what Nintendo did to its fans.

I wont be playing the game due to the art direction. Over saturation is always an eye-sore to me, and sometimes quite literally one at that.
