I still think that the box art needs a little Tyrael Wing action. Diablo 3 announcement website-style epic Tyrael wings. Right there in the background blackness.
Anyone with me?

The final test of the Serpent's Form takes place in "The Pit of 12 Vipers." The initiates are not told about the 13th.
Geez, that normal edition is frickin' amazing. I actually just got a little nervous that the CE won't be able to look anymore badass than that.
Lol I completely agree, I saw the first picture and was like 'oh fuck that's the best box art I think I've seen on a game.. ever'. Then I looked at the white and I'm like ahhh shit, how are they gonna top that?
Sigh, I dunno how I always get into these offtopic things.
They started working on Cataclysm at the same time as late WotLK development. The Diablo model was made very quickly for a short part of the cinematic and most of it was not even finished yet. You can clearly see it in one of the behind the scenes videos featuring the cinematics department... could've been for SC2, don't quite remember. Also you can see on sonsofthestorm.com that in 2007 all Diablo concepts were for the original Diablo from D2, I doubt artists would waste their time making those complete concepts if the D3 Diablo was already established. A year later Cata starts being worked on and we see first glimpses of Diablo's model in the 3rd game. On the other hand I don't doubt that the cinematic version of Diablo was started before Deathwing's.
Both characters were flashed out at pretty much the same time though.
Anyway, I admit I might be wrong. Let's continue with the topic.
For some reason after looking at the box art, it made me watch the D3 CG again.

I love all loot fest kind of game! I will be playing all of them for the next few years. Loot fest games I'm looking forward to: LotR: War in the North,Torchlight 2,Borderlands 2 and of course Diablo 3.
I wonder if they would do the CE box art with separate boxes having each character on it.. that would be interesting. Kind of like, pick your fav. character, or have another CE version be a different Diablo picture.
But...Deathwing was created before the current Diablo... >.> Deathwing was created back in Warcraft 2 and the current Diablo (IE post '05 restart of Diablo 3) was created at the earliest late '05.
That being said, Deathwing has a bigger jaw, and the jaw is made of metal, whereas Diablo's jaw is not made of metal... >.>
First, of course Deathwing and Diablo look alike. Just how many different ways can you draw a black skull with horns and demon teeth with red energy/fire/lava coming out of orifices, pores, and eyeballs?
Second, while the box art is awesome, does anyone else think it would be cool if they used the Beta box art? Something about that understated logo...that would just be too awesome if they released it like that.

Oooo, yea make the current normal Boxart the CE boxart and make the Beta Boxart the Normal boxart. I think that would look a lot more snazzy on my shelves. <3

Ha. Bagstone.
Diablo with Tyrael's wings?
Ha. Bagstone.

Regardless, sweet images.
