Quote from name="Rob Pardo »
With Battle.net we're definitely looking at possible different features that we might be able to do for additional money. We're not talking about Hellgate or anything like that. We're not going to tack things on. I think [URL="http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=2015259"]World of Warcraft[/URL'] is a great example to look at. We charge people if they want to switch servers or if they want name changes, things that aren't core to the game experience, they're really just optional things that some people want. It takes us some development work to do it, so it makes sense to charge for it. We would never do something like say to get the full game experience, you'll have to pay extra.
With the announcement of the game, Blizzard also revealed that the game will be on Blizzard?s legendary network, battle.net. This means the game will be entirely free to play, simply plug and play till your heart?s content.
I wish Roper would show us what his version of Diablo III would've looked like.
Probably full of fail like Hellgate.
I wonder what these art style complainers will be saying when they're addicted to Diablo III's gameplay?
Seriously now ... Roper may have had the whole "enviroment" down, but look at Hellgate ... it got blasted for being completely shallow and being painfully repetative. Same enviroments, same enemies ... and a woeful "premium" system and content. Blizzard knows what they're doing. They've proven it time after time.
Who did create Diablo series and made D1, D2, LOD?
- David Brevik along with his friends Max and Erich Schaefer brothers.
Max had talken about DIII's art style. I wonder what would David and Erich say about the art style.
Maybe i don't like the art syle because i'm a Diablo fan. Not a blizzard fan. Also i don't like blizzard's games. (Warcraft series)
BTW it's really nonsense to bash creators of Diablo. We can talk about Diablo now because they created the franchise not Blizzard. Blizzard just published the games.
These screenshots from Diablo 2 which some of you call even brighter and peaceful than Diablo 3.

I AGREE COMPLETELY. This is what I feel. I shouldve brought in the old design team to work on it, with the new one. then it wouldve actually looked like diablo. to me it looks okay but not like diablo, which was down to the microscopic details...this one is blotchy and rounded and cartonny like im playing warcraft 2 with a modern look...diablo is an old style game, it needs to be 3d, but like a 3d verson of d2. thats it. if they made the shit darker and worked a little more on small details, i would be happy.
Also you guys have to remember that Blizzard North was a completely different production team, under a different name, until they were bought out buy Blizzard, then became blizzard north, AND they were already nearly finsihed with diablo 1 when they were bought out, so it became a 'blizzard' game. in truth it isnt a blizzard game. not at all.

Stars aligning fragments of the memories
Parallel truth, awaken in translucence
Sealed by this deadened song
Sinking in toneless comatose
Come and tear my skin, fear what's within
Its massive darkness filling my world
Submerged rage writing unspoken words

You're right. It's a "Blizzard NORTH" game. lol

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
I agree we all need to stop giving Bill the attention he craves and just shun the guy already. Posting news items about him only makes him stronger, after all.
Here's a couple shots to remind everyone of the carebear esque rainbowland bs we're gonna have to put up with in D3 since this is somehow still getting attention:

Blizzard South. They were the ones who pushed for them to make it realtime.
Btw, I took the liberty of fixing your gamma and contrast settings. Your eyes can thank me later:
If... you really like playing with black blobs, I assure you Diablo 3 will support your desired slider settings.

Totally agree with the statement about Bill Roper!
Are you being sarcastic about the comparison??? Please tell me yes.

In wow forums someone made a thread and asked to describe Diablo I and Diablo 2 in four words or less.
Bashok's reply:
"Killing demons for loot. "
This explains everything about D3 team. They don't even know what is Diablo for. Also i don't think even they know where did the name "Diablo" come from.
Four curios players: It came from "Mount Diablo" in San Francisco and "Diablo" word in Spanish that means "Devil".
For example here's the line from D3 gameplay trailer.
"What in the hells is that" says a guard.
Bashiok said that there are lots of hells in Diablo universe. Yeah proabably it's like that but in mortal realm most of the people don't know that. In DI and DII, people ( other than tyreal, lazarus etc who knows the truth) use words Hell and Heaven. Even someone who knows the truth don't use that phrase beacuse of consuetude.
And there are lots of hells but "Hell" word is used to describe all of them. For example it's written Lords of Hell ( Diablo, Mephisto, Baal) in D1 manual and Lord of Hell in Legacy of Blood.
In fact mortal realm in Diablo games is no different than medieval ages of the real world. It's same. But the truth is different (there is no god in Diablo games). It's one of the reasons why Diablo I was scary and photorealistic. It was looking like some time in our world and we didn't know the truth until we got deep into the church. We've seen pentagrams, crosses etc. All made us wonder what's going on there... With great realistic, dark, gritty art style and creepy music it gave us Diablo feel.
I'm sorry mates but Diablo feel is something not releated to game's greatness. I hope someone from D3 team reads this post and realizes it's not about just gameplay.
The altered screenshots look cool but you can hardly see any detail. I don't get why people think it should be dark during the daylight. There is probably going to be a day/night cycle anyway. Ken, you are going to have to explain better because what I think you are saying doesnt make any sense.
