The colors are just too much in my opinion, it doesn't feel diablo to me. The warcraft art style is ok, but again, it just doesn't feel diablo. Also, for people like myself who play lots of blizzard games, I think the warcraft style of art will get repetitive if used too often. When it comes down to it though, I don't think it would be worth the time to totally redo all the art with a different style, and I really doubt blizzard would consider it at this point. However, I would like to see some time spent on tweaking the colors and shading for a more diablo-like feel.
I never realized how much I appreciated the graphics of diablo and diablo II until this conversation came up. The graphics really set the mood. I've played other dungeon crawlers, with bright cartoon-like graphics, and it's still great fun, but it's just not the same, something is missing. I'm hoping blizzard will listen to us and tweak the art a bit, I think they can find a good middle ground and please both sides of this argument, for the most part.
