Fourth Batch of Screenshots and Art
Click the images to bask in the glory of the high resolution versions that you likely won't see anywhere else!
The first image we have here is a rendered image of the Tristram Cathedral and looks beautiful... Though something I want to point out, back in Diablo I, there was a fence on the right side of the Cathedral just past the graveyard... It now looks like it's open and that trail leads to another city/town... I wonder where that could be heading to?
The second screenshot depicts the Witch Doctor firing his Poison Dart skill against some Walking Corpses and what looks to be an Unburied. You can also see a Zombie Dog heading up into the fray.

There was no Cathedral in D2 because Tristam was cut off from what would have been left of the cathedral.
But the Tristram we see in D3 is "New Tristram" if I remember correctly.
Edit: I really like the pot of stewing gizzards in the WD screenshot.
I thought It was an illustration/concept art piece. Especially because it's signed.
BTW, I tought that the Tristram Cathedral WAS there in D2. That burned down area in the northern corner of tristram, with just the walls and the impaled rogue to the right...that wasn't the remains of the Cathedral?
Too bad it isn't a little bigger though. Granted, it's still my background on my desktop...lol
Too bad we'll never see that angle (or anything remotely close to it) in-game.
I thought there were just trees behind those walls.
Which I'll maybe watch once. Maybe. Let's just hope the demon hunter promo isn't a taste of the kind of writing we can expect.
Anyhow, it is funny - a fantastic piece of art comes down the pike, with a clear signature, and none of the 'fans' have any idea who made it.
And as far as the cinematics, I've always enjoyed Blizzard's stuff in that regard. Not to mention we'll still probably get a really good look of the entrance and sides of the church from the isometric view in game. Kind of like the monastery in Act 1 of D2.
Its definitely New Tristram. None of those places look to be in walking (or sight) distance of Tristram.
The city in the back is obviously new tristam, since the old tristam in in front of the Cathedral's entrance, and that town in the back has lights.
EDIT: that place with the black earth is where the cathedral is supposed to be, since it was surrounded by walls too. The cathedral was burnt down in d2.
