Well let me jsut start off my saying that diablo 2 graphics were not amazing, we all know that. That is not something that bothers me, and it should not bother the fans of diablo 2.
Let me clarify. If you enjoyed diablo 2, which had poor dark graphics, then you musn't really care about graphics. So i say why are so many people complaning about the new approach to making a new game. Have they not read the storyline? This is decades after all the evil has been destroyed. Obviously its going to look more bright and more "cartoony."
There is no doubt that diablo 3 will succed, juse look at the team fortress series. TF1 was all dark and wierd, everything was difficult to see. Valve then made TF2 and all the characters became like cartoons, and they put much more light into the game. People complained about it, yet it was a succeses wasn't
I don't care what people say about diablo 3 looking like wow. If you don't like the graphics I say you don't buy the game and keep on playing diablo 2. Blizzard does'nt care about you, they won't change there engines and art direction just because some people disagreee with it. which bring me to my next point.
What did you expect? Diablo 1 and 2 were made when not many other games were competing with them, and when the engines to make these games were not amazing. Technology has advanced, did you really expect blizzard to keep the old art style, with cheap graphics and jut countine the story line? Why would blizzard do such a thing, it would not look like a new game whatsoever, especially in comparision with the diablo clones today.
If you're a real diablo fan graphics should not bother you too much.
