98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature. <- Just for you, Chaos, and just because it's true.

Except 2D is not a thing of the past. Only in some of the new generations mind's eye it is. Yes i admit that 2D is outdated and all and for games like Warcraft it was fine to go to the 3D because it wasn't really a gritty game like Diablo. Could you just imagine if Diablo had the same cartoonish crap as WOW? If they brought the diablo games back into the catacombs and stuff like that where it is eerie(sp?) instead of in D2 where it was all sunny grass stuff than they should stick with the traditional 2D with updated graphics.
Wow this is a large thread! Anyways, I would rather go with the Diablo 2 graphics over Warcraft. Those graphics is what defines the game it is today. Maybe diablo 3 can come up with a 2.5 or 2.75 d graphics but if not, no biggie.

Hero of the Trojan War, son of Telamon, thus called the Telamonian Ajax, also called Ajax the Greater. In the Iliad he is represented as a gigantic man, slow of thought and speech, but quick in battle and always showing courage. He led the troops of Salamis against Troy and was one of the foremost Greek warriors, fighting both Hector and Odysseus to draws.

Hmm I've been playing d2 for 6-7 years now, so I'm not what you can call "new generation". Anyway, name 1-2 games that are "in" now and have a 2d engine, aside from d2, which -lets face it- isn't one of the current greatest mp game in the market (although it was 3-5 years ago).
I mean, I wouldn't call 100k-200k players (in the entire game) a popular game. 5 years ago it was 3-4 million players and it was hot. Now it's a thing of the past, only true, hmm, lets say "loyalists" and very very few newcomers play d2 nowadays. sad but true

I guess when you look at it some of the most successful games have been in 2D almost 3D. However, we need to look at the technology race of today. The PS3, X Box 360, and your basic top of the line PC. All these platforms have constructed the empire on graphics and gameplay. Now taking into account the fact that you might not need good graphics if you have exciting, adrenaline pumping gameplay, this is what Diablo 2 LoD had. However, the market today looks at more then just mere gameplay. The graphics of Diablo 2 were fun but I think it is time that we step it up a notch. I think that if we could take the gameplay of Diablo 2 and put it in pulse pounding, mind blowing 3D graphics, we could blow all the other 3D MMORPGs right out of the water. Of course this is just my thought.
i hope its 3d because they could really make d3 scary with lighting and shadows. they could make it really ambient and creepy. making hell more hellish, and anything celestial.. even more celestial.
2d wouldnt be able to do much more than it does now for d2. less it was an odd cel shade or something.

Exacly, otherwise D3 won't be able to compete on the market today.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Well if we look at Warcraft I, II, and III, they all display the same kind of "kiddy" graphics. If you look at Diablo and Diablo II LoD, it displays more realistic in-depth graphics.
This leads me to beleive that if they did create Diablo 3 in 3D it would be a more realistic looking game. Almost like Guild Wars, only not as laid back on the "Blood and Guts".
i think the same format as diabloII is fine. i am a begginer and enjoy all the diabloII adventures. but if we can get a diabloIII in any formate would be just as good to me, and hopefully our server will allow more players to enjoy it and not lag as much.
hahahaha. I would agree with the more BnG, cuz thats kinda kinda guy i am.
I am accually really into how they did the whole 3D/2D thing. I think thats what makes D2 what it is. Dont have to Worry about the dame camera. Another thing i hate about some MMORPGs; the damn camera is screwy.
If they do, do 3D like KotOR, NWN, then it would just be something to get used to with Diablo. I Really prefer the D1/D2 style. And i deffinately would not want it to become and MMORPG like WoW or GuildWars or like any of those free online MMORPGs (Silkroad, Rappelz, you name it....)
D1/D2 is different from most RPGs and dats what i like about it. I DO NOT want it to blend in with the others; let Diablo series be distinct from the others like Final Fantasy has become distinct from others.

In my opinion, I think if you change diablo 2's graphics like wow, the "staryness" of the game will disappear. Diablo has always gave us suspense in the way the graphics were set up (well, suspense when you first play the game :D)
