Thats not night, have you actually ever seen the night? (retarded question, but you never know, kids tssk)
Some people also said "Act 1 wasn't evil/dark, so Diablo 3 doesn't have to be evil"
Here is Act 1 daytime:
Here is Act 1 night time:
Not only is it darker, but also it has realistic characters/textures. Looks great.

Have you played Diablo 2? That picture i made is how Diablo 3 should look when it rains, has nothing to do with day / night cycles, who talked about that?
People wearing sunglasses while on the computer. It's not that complicated.
So...since nighttime in D1 looks dark D3 should be dark during daytime? Ok...
Not to mention the King was already corrupted etc when you first enter D1 so yea, your argument is bullshit, there was plenty of evil going on, with Diablo under the cathedral, the King going crazy and whatnot.
I agree but. Frogotten Tombs which Blizz showed us are too clean. I mean, hey they are frogotten but even the carpets over there are new. Floor is just washed. The second location is Leoric Highlands so Frogotten Tombs could be somewhere in Tristram. From stories on official Diablo 3 site you should know that monsters over there are making massacre inside. There should be more gore, more dirt and more mess inside. Right now we have got fluffy lion statues, clean floors, eye-candy colours without no light source, disappearing blood and corpses and not even funny jokes which dosn't fit Diablo world.
UPDATE. And we have totally unrealistic weapons and armor sets. Just take look here...
Diablo always had almost realistic weapons and armors. They look cool, they was inspired by real ones. Now we have mmorpg stuff.
DO YOU REALLY WANT ARE DIABLO TO LOOK LIKE THIS MAN WOW
Diablo 1 HAD NO EVIL AT ALL at the beggining and it looked like this so that argument is bad.
QFT This picture is DAYTIME. Maybe it's cloudy, but it looks normal with nothing evil just like D2 Act 1.
There are no corpses, blood on walls, dismembered people, impaled victims etc.
Look like a normal village on a cloudy day.
And still Diablo 1 looks realistic with shitty graphics.

OK, check it out, I'm going to rock your world. The developers said that Sanctuary is such an evil place, that no know really noticed the prim evils died, because the place is consistently evil(Paraphrased exaggerated slightly.)
Now to my real point : can we just forgo the continuity in the lore argument? No matter how you slice it, it just sounds like people trying to make sense of plot holes in bad movies.

Not at all, they said people think the evils never existed, and that the peace has been on the kingdom for 20 years.

Please stop calling Diablo graphics shitty... it looks way better than D2 (imho) or D3 at this point... Just because you provided a badly optimized screenshot or play on a widescreen doesn't mean the graphics are SHITTY. The graphics are very crisp and nice. They are not lively as in 3D, but please don't call the graphics of one of my fav games shitty when there's no basis for it...
Not at all, they said people think the evils never existed, and that the peace has been on the kingdom for 20 years.
They also said, they were expecting an attack, but it never came. Might be due to the fact that belial and azmodan were fighting with each other in hell.
I think the whole "forgot about Diablo" subplot is ridiculous.
And you can clearly see demons and skeletons in the outdoor environments yet it looks as if they hadn't touched a damn thing. Don't tell me that the presence of evil shouldn't and wouldn't have an impact on the environment. I'm sure they love gardening.

they're still better than cartoony graphics. That was my point.
D1's graphics were great for their time.

Alright, Ive talked quite a bit but didnt show my idea yet, I messed a bit with photoshop until I got the right look
IMO, you are lying to yourself if you dont prefer the darker version... That is exactly how I think of Diablo 2 in a 3D environment, more realistic, sharper, "not knowing what will come up next", having the only real light source being your character's light radius, this is Diablo, not the above version
(Ill update later if I mess with some other pics)
I don't want 24/7 nighttime, like people above said. I also don't want 24/7 rain. It's been 20 fking years of peace ffs.
you guys have to remember, D3 isnt cartoony, its just the best they can do in 3D without creating an Uber Hardware Hog game.
we already covered this.
640$ machine can run Crysis on High. (not Ultra settings)
Expensive systems is not an excuse for using graphics from 2002 for a game scheduled for around 2010.

Does anyone else notice the RAINBOW in the background on the first... so childish... This is Diablo III come on...
DIABLO
Look at the second to last set of pictures. The one with the Barbarian on the bridge. Is that a rainbow in the background?
Rainbow?
THIS!
IS!
DIABLO!!!!!!
