This Castlevania game looks like such a waste of good graphics. Fighting with a whip, wtf? Get a real weapon. It does look amazing though, I wouldn't mind Diablo looking like that, although I also quite like the current style.
Worst case scenario we all just download a program like powerstrip and mess around with our color profiles to make the game darker, sharper and more monochromatic

And its not a game like D3 its more a game like God of War, without inventory i think.
Incorrect. God of War is a game like Castlevania, not the other way around ;)*, and although I haven't played Lords of Shadow yet, practically every entry in the series has had an inventory. (And LoS looks awesome, btw, I can't wait!)
I had a quick play with my color profile on my mac to see if I could make some of the colorful screenshots look more diabloish. Keep in mind this was all done with the default color profiler on a mac, I would have had a lot more control on a pc with powerstrip + screen calibration:
Besides, Diablo III begins in a world that has been "peaceful" since the last appearance of the prime evils. It is just fitting that the first act has rainbows, green grass and stuff. Then the game progresses into a more darker, deteriorated state.
This is actually a great point Don. I had never really thought of it like that. It definitely gives credit to how the game is that we have seen so far.

I had a problem with the whole rainbows and happiness of Diablo 3 at the start and even at Blizzcon with how the demo they gave us had intentional rainbows hidden in the game to just aggravate that fanbase.
After getting further in the demo tho and witnessing that screenshot above with all the ripped bodies and the mayhem it turned my opinion around on the developers.
I think it's good to have it start out peaceful so you can really get a good feeling that the world if becoming corrupt. I highly doubt we will be in a peaceful state for long before the shit hits the fan.
I actually love the D3 artstyle. It's unique, the way it looks like a painting and yet real. Especially the desert footage is really nice.
They had to do something different than D2, for progress' sake, they couldn't use the graphics from a 10 year old game. So it's gonna look different. And the game takes place in different environments, so it's also gonna feel different. And that's good, because it's a different game.
Seriously, is your penis gonna shrink because at least one act has some cheerful looking parts in it? Or even because the overall color palette is brighter? Once I'm playing the game and actually running around with my charcter through a whole world ready to be explored, I won't care about how some old screenshots look.

Lol, exactly. The graphics in D3 will be great and those who don't like the way the game looks like will still play it like crazed addicts that need immediate hospitalization so I don't get all the menstrual whining.
Just enjoy the game and thank God or whatever you believe in that we will actually get to play Diablo 3, because there may have never been another Diablo game, don't take that for granted...
No, really, they look good enough for what they are. There's not that much room for graphical innovation in hack-n'-slash games because of the isometric view. The same goes for RTS games. The point here is that you guys want BR00TAL GOREZ. C'mon, it's Diablo, there's going to be gore. I'd like to hear an argument about how it isn't already gory enough.
D3 had a plethora of gore. Trust me, just go look at gameplay videos, every fight has at least one instance of gore. While it may not cover your screen with blood, it's enough to suffice.

I'm not complaining about the hardxcoreness of it, gore is whatever. It's more the "vibe" and just overall feeling you get when you play the game, I feel like they didn't capture that feeling in D3, and that picture I posted has that vibe.
rofl. Diablo lost the Opeth feel since D1. D2 is all about run around in lightspeed, casting screen wide poison novas and turn your enemies in hot green painted morons.
I actually think D3 is gathering the nice mood back, but D1 is still alot better in this aspect.
D3 graphics sucks. Blizzard suck very deeply hard at graphics (WC3 looks bad, WoW is a joke, SC2 is mediocre and D3 looks terrible).
Dude, you're making a big deal out of it and you shouldn't. The graphics are fine and different from the rest of the games we see. I will admit that I like a more artistic oriented style over realism when it comes to fantasy games. Diablo 3 is fine and provides a decent amount of mature and gore stuff. I am satisfied with what they came up with. Seriously, why dwell on what should have been and rejoice at what we currently have? You're gonna waste more energy crying over YOUR vision of diablo than accepting a nice change at the end.

Who's wasting more energy? You, definitively you, just because he said "Blizzard suck very deeply hard" doesn't mean you have to waste time trying to... comment on his opinion, whatever that is supposed to do. Oh, you're satisfied? Some people aren't. And I'm sick of people that are just satifisfied about everything they're thrown at them. Its the reason gaming is so sad today, even if its not a big deal when it comes down to the D3 graphics.
He's right, and thats his and my opinion, though mine is not as pushed, so why didn't you just leave it at that? We -need- people that don't just suck it all up.

Easy solution- stop playing games especially if they are causing you so much anguish. Or even better- play the ones you like. Oh...wait, I'm sure you must already do that. So I guess, it's all about whining for whining's sake then.
Where do you get the idea people are just sucking it all up? Has it occurred to you that people might actually like the way things are going?
Ever heard of constructive criticism? That's what we actually need.
A game is done to appeal to people. When it doesn't look like it will do the job for someone, he should at least try to justify why his opinion is so.
Sure it's their opinion but when the reason is not apparent, it just looks like whining. And we definitely don't need it.

Seriously man, I'm tired of people complaining all the time about every little details. Ya sure, we need people like you, pointing out anomalies in games, finding bugs no one has seen. I like people who wanna change some stuff for the better. The only problem is, on this particular matter, arguing over the graphics of D3 is futile and useless. It may be your opinion, but at this point it doesn't matter and it won't make a difference. So basically it's complaining for the sake of complaining. I hate that and it pisses me off and this is why I'm commenting on your opinion, but I'm not targeting you directly.

I'm pretty much with Karjalan on this.
