If they make the textures a little bit grittier and bloodier, it will be perfect, imo.
Well, that and they make scarier environments later in the game, of course.
And there are mangled, nude corpses hanging from spikes somewhere.
You know, usual gory stuff. The gore the better eh?

Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!
wtf in real life their wouldnt be nude corpses like everyone says those people just have a little weirdness hey i play games like titan quest and stuff so im not in to the whole goth nude crap but i still love diablo cause the gameplay seriously guys soldiers go fighting in a dungeon they die would their clothes dissapear only other thing is the demons are screwed up and well they are that way uggg well the butcher like well hes a screwed up faggot lol
They need to "fix" something that is improperly done, simple as that.
It's only improperly done because YOU think it is. Don't get me wrong, I love both the dark, grittier version and the current one we have. However, it's not going to ruin the game for me when I can easily adjust that stuff in game.
If Blizzard decides to change the graphics, cool. If not... there is a simple solution to the "problem".
The graphical update is great personally, wh ocares if it's cartoon-esqu'd. It still looks incredible, better then what anyone here anticipated I'll bet. BTW, the cartoony design is a nice break from the goth grey or crap brown overlay game makers use, see Gears of War for deails (Author's Note- I'm not saying that GoW is a crappy game).
In the end, I hope they add a world editor tools with the game, then you can do with whatever you wish
Just because you and other posters on this forum hate the graphics does not make it the majority... You are forgetting other fan sites. Van is right. I think the phrase "I fear change" fits here. I'm done arguing about this...
Yes, 54 people are indeed the majority of all the players who will buy Diablo III. Idiot.
This only shows that there are ~54 ignorant people who judge a game as a whole based off a very small portion of it. Just because this area is not "dark and gothic" doesn't mean the others aren't. I'm sure whatever Blizzard releases will fulfill the player's need for gothic style environments. Wait until they show screenshots of the rest of the game before you post any more of your ignorant bullshit again please.
I also agree with the people not satisfied on the art direction chosen by Blizzard. But it's not something as simple as needing to be "darker" or something about brightness and gamma.
Is the characters textures themselves which are painted in a cartoon way, there is no normal mapping or realistic shaders on the characters and environment (exception the FX which is superb).
To be honest, and ignoring the low resolution issue, the characters from D2 have much better detail and texture.
The art direction, in general, is wondreous, I love how the pics look in the thumbnails and low res videos, but having a Barbarian with painted muscles and no normal mapping?!
I'm sure the overall problem is caused because Blizzard is so focused on making the engine running even on low-end PCs, and they have just decided to not do any sort of advanced lighting/shader interaction.
Any way, from any other perspective, I think I'm gonna love D3 and gonna buy it whether it looks a little like WoW or not.
It shouldn't be black and white, I have no idea where you got that idea, instead it should just have a less cartoony feel.
I'm fine with color, D2 had plenty. I just want it to remain with a realistic graphical style, like the previous 2 games (For instance, look at the new skeletons, they're cartoony. Lame).

Zynalc: "I believe that most of the people have read some books or seen some films about santa. The typical figure of santa is not invincibley powerful but always very very fraudulent."
Agreed. Many of the complainers are idealizing D1 and D2, as well as acting illogical. Go back and play D2 act 1. It was boring and drab as Hell. Go and try to make yourself play through D1 again. It's pretty arcane, to say the least.
I love the look and I hope Blizzard doesn't sell out. Either way, the game will be immensely successful. Sure, some things could use a change. But the game is so early in alpha that complaints are unwarranted. Furthermore, you can change GAMMA and BRIGHTNESS in your video options!!!!
The graphics don't even look REMOTELY like WoW and yet people still draw the comparison because of...Color?! Hey guys, Katamari Damaci is so WoW its not even funny. So is TF2!!!! THEY HAVE BRIGHT COLORS!!
This community sounds like a bunch of spoiled brats. Really, it's disappointing to say the least.
I am so sick of seeing those pictures posted everywhere on these forums. Can a mod clean it up?
I'd like to point out that none of the people who have been waiting here for years are complaining.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
And Steak, have you seen the images being posted ad nauseum around the forums? Almost B&W. That's where I got that from.
But it's all good. A lot of people are viewing it differently, as you would expect, so I can only hope Blizz will address it with caution, and not a knee jerk reaction to the most vocally opposed out there.
I often wonder how things would go if Blizz had said, "ok Diablo community...we're going to create D3. Tell us what you want and we'll make it".
There would be thousands of different views on colour/themes/modelling/lighting and the list goes on. To the point where I see the Dev's heads resembling something along the lines of the lie detector connected to Homer Simpson. Whan asked, "Do you understand?" "Yes......." Dev's head explodes!
Lets just wait and see.

Well, what should I say instead of "fixing"?
They need to "fix" something that is improperly done, simple as that.
Spoiled brat ffs.
You have no idea.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
I have no doubt Blizzard will fix any problems with them. Look what they did with StarCraft 2.
If Blizzard decides to change the graphics, cool. If not... there is a simple solution to the "problem".
In the end, I hope they add a world editor tools with the game, then you can do with whatever you wish
No, it's improperly done because the majority thinks so.

I would prefer diablo 3 as a dark evil theme
instead of happy colour theme. that just my style for a diablo game but people do say change is good.
I hope so..

It's a figurative representation of Diablo's fanbase. And idiot? Is this how you emphasize your posts?
If you change the number of people who voted in that poll to say, 1,000, the percentage of "ignorant people" should remain the same.
Someting that follows every single aspect of gamplay is a very small portion of the game? I don't think so.
Lol, you think that there would be a sudden change of artstyle?
"Ok guys, next level needs to have a little less rainbows and more pentagrams"
Of course, that's what every professional art team does. Change the art style as they please.
I have been waiting for this game for years but I'm slightly worried it won't fit the franchise.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited it was announced. I just care a lot about the game, that's all.
It's still blizzard but it's very noticeable that it's not the same dev team.
