By the better special fx of D3 i meant the explosions and such that take place, or the sandstorms we saw in the desert, theres just generally more stuff going on so the armor has to be flashy to shine through all that. And there was someone who started talking about the overall art direction at some point. And also, even though a new act isn't being revealed at this Blizzcon demo, that doesn't mean that we won't be sing a new environment, as they have emphasized that each act does have multiple environments. So its not out of the question, as I've said in a different topic, for there to be a mountain we have to climb thats in the middle of the desert and has snow on its peak. Or something dramatically different like that, so these armor sets don't necessarily coincide with the desert in Act 2.

Not Multiple environments but multiple places. Acts are still all desert or all woodland or all marshes, but there are different types of deserts and marshes and woods now. Like act 1 was basically the rogue encampment, now it encovers westmarch to new tristram which is across that whole wooded area. At least this is how i think they meant it.

"Act II has a variety of locations that aren't just sand blown desert. New locations and changing scenery keep things interesting. We're upping the ante, so you're not going to go into an act and it's essentially the same look and tileset the whole way through. We keep a theme but there's a ton of variation possible, even in a desert." -Bashiok
I can find the link to the quote again but I just looked it up for a different topic. The environments change, possibly drastically, in each act.
