to be honest very first impression was 10/10 because they kept with the CORE visuals like the top down perspective
then my first impression when the character was being played and seeing the new health system.... 7/10
after the panel discussed the new health system im back to 10/10.
the main concerned i had was the gameplay straying from the core gameplay of the franchise and it didnt.
complain all you want about early development candle stick holder visuals, but the truth is you aint no fan. so you dont belong here.
Because the number one rule youd follow as a diablo fan is : gameplay > visuals

I for one could care less about the graphics as it sits now. As we all know the game is in early development. I have waited long enough for the announcement alone. I have faith that blizzard will not deliever us a piece of crap after all this time. I have faith!

The blind mind's eye replies with a sigh and a tear of contempt for those who see the world as it truly is.
You keep pointing to the fact i made one valid example of the candles, yet avoid the fact that the armor sets and colour and style look very similar to the WoW art style.
You're argument that graphics are not important is flawed as modern gaming stares more and more in that direction. Sure it doesnt outclass gameplay completly, but without graphics to suppliment it, you have a shabby game.
FYI: You're rediculous statements to finish your posts "/ownage" do wonders to show your maturity btw.
Question. Have you watched the game play video? Do you think that looks shabby?

I was quite impressed with the gameplay video actually, resumed my faith after look at the screenshots. However, the gameplay video obviously doesnt give us the same resolution look as the screenshots do (for me at least, low res vid). But i understand that its prealpha/alpha and it will improve a lot from its current state.
Also, is anyone else having trouble with the Blizz downloaders for the vids? The cinematic trailer downloaded fine, but the other 2 say "tracker down".
To all the ppl here that i said was crazy, i admit that i was wrong. But I do hope that when its time for blizzard to make a new diablo game that all will not get there hopes up to high and start thinking that every little image that Blizzard releases is for diablo. We all know how much Blizzard likes to keep things a secret and likes to make us think of one thing then releases something else. Just try to keep an open mind in the future.

My life is like a dragon, first praised, then hated, now lost.
Your post makes no sense at all, are you saying that because its 3d is the reason it resembles the wow art style?.
GTFO? how about no little boy..... reply to my posts when you have matured a bit or at least have a coherent thought that actually makes any sense to post.
Thank You
I say it can resembles to anything.There is whiny fuckers out here who are (obvioulsy) whining about Diablo 3 graphics. Its just useless to whine at this because:
-Its a early version of the game. Like the guy said: Nothing we saw is final.
-Moving from 800x600 to 1920x1200 screen resolution(I expect since games these day have such resolutions available) make it hard to keep the (if you don't know, from a certain viewpoint, diablo 2 was highres for a 800x600 screen) "highres" feel and look.
-They certainly improoved from the WoW graphics style but creating 100k poly class models would be simply useless since they are very small in our screen. What they did was Enough and making more would have been a waste

ive already replied 3 times specifically in reguards to why warcraft and diablo share resemblances.
and if you cannot decipher that yourself, you are mentally handicap and i refuse to keep (edit) *Attempting* to inform you.
i dont see what the big deal is about the graphics, i think they are great, and it keeps the dark and gloomy d2 atmosphere and there is a shitload of gore as well while having better graphics so imo there is nothing to bitch about there, the things crawling up the walls to attack the barb was just awesome, skill graphics seem to be improved, seems to be more talking in the game as well which is actually a good thing imo, keep up with the story, unlike d2 where you don't even want to have the sound on while playing the game because its just annoying. I wish they had announced all the classes but im still very happy to be able to see the gameplay video and this is definately a great day for us diablo fans, even if we do have to wait 2 years or more to actually play it.

I remember when I saw the first ad for Diablo in PC Gamer and I was very excited. Then I remember when Starcraft videos and screens shots started coming out.
Speaking of gauntlets, does anyone remember the gauntlet in the game NoX if you played as a warrior?
I know it's not Diablo 3 but its one of the Diablo clones and if you have played the game then it should bring out a laugh.

Just hope they darken it a bit
