Hey Guys, I realy got very excited with the news from Diablo 3 in WWi, that was great !
I thought I was never act like a child again wondering and awaiting for a game title as I am now. For one of the best series I ever played in my life.
Ok, then, 4 days have passed and with a more logical and less emotional view, I have to agree that Rainbow really does not make part of Diablo World. I got realy and badly scared seeing in the Gameplay when the barbarian left the dungeon (less colorfull) to a Dreaming, Fluffy, Shinny scenery fighting deadry Zombies ?! WTF ? I would make more sense ironically if it was not zombies but chocobos, ponies... Oh please, for God/Diablo sake, dont change soo dramatically from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3...
Since you are taking me out of context: for all the issues the D2 inventory system has ("Tetris"), it's still better than the single-box, every item takes up the same space system that we're currently seeing.
Just to make a note, I feel Diablo got the best shake and the most love with the translation to 3d.
Just to clear another thing up. Every piece of armor will have its own modeled appearance. It won't just be Light - Medium - Heavy like in the past two games.
Disagree. The character art of the WC2 Troll compared to the WC3 Troll looks like an excellent adaptation from one to the other.
Also, that's a poor choice of image for SC2. Early SC2 shots faced the same criticism as the Diablo ones have (since the WarCraft stylization is now pervasive in everything Blizzard does, ugh), but they have since been considerably improved (though I think they could still be grittier, especially the Terran)

It isn't the 'WarCraft' stylization. It's the 'Blizzard' stylization. WarCraft was just the first to get updated using it.
i've just heard that they are making Starcraft II looking also very colorful and WoW like...
Why so much influence from WoW. If I like the WoW interface, i'm going to play WoW not Diablo
you got it wrong.
they WERE doing sc2 all bright and clean, the fans disliked, voiced their opinion
and now blizz is improving the graphics, and im really impressed with the result
if only i had the links to the images comparision
Reduce the number of lights in dungeons. Bright green/blue/white lights takes away the feel being in dungeon. Diablo series feature dark atmoshphere, which made series so intriguing and special.
Add more grittiness to textures and environment. Currently they look kinda plain and glossy.
Reduce the over-the top usage of colors. Judging from 20 minute demo, the vibrant green, purple and blue colors takes away immersion of gothic settings.
Please make this game for fans who love the diablo series and don't ruin this beautiful game by making it WOW clone.
I don't know if this has been mentionned before, if so forgive me.
I just got thinking about what blizzard said about having contrast in the game, have moments of light and darkness to enhance the experience. That using colors was a way to achieve that goal. But I think they misinterpreted the reality of it somewhere because their wrong.
Look at every good suspense and horror movie you can think off. I'm gonna take Lord of the rings for exemple because it's just the king of them all
There's no real color in LOTR is there? At least, none that we notice. The movie used a combinaison of Light and Darkness to convey hope and depression. I don't need to name exemples because I'm sure you can all remember on your own.
Find me a movie that managed to make you feel afraid or tense by using pastel colors? A movie that had rainbows and butterfly and a colorful forest that came out of a saturday morning cartoon that made you afraid.
I'm afraid that the Diablo team lost sight of this, that they forgot what game they were making, what they are supposed to make us feel.

just wondering what do you mean by saying it wont just be light medium heavy?
i know the armor in diablo 2 were categorized as that, but that 100% irrelevant anyway........
People plays D2 for getting fun or cus of addiction?
You have not understood it. Any game gives you the "terrorified" feeling? Only Diablo. Diablo satisfies bad energies of people.
This Diablo III is not HELLISH. IT IS NOT TERROR. BUT DIABLO HAVE TO BE the TERROR. It's core is this. - diablo: lord of terror
baal: lord of destruction etc,) lol- u see an "evil" gameplay at D3? i couldnt
I cannot believe anyone would support a Diablo game as a happy-go-lucky cartoon Warcraft gnome dancing festival.
Diablo is notorious for being that cool horror/gothic/dark/scary RPG. HECK, the THEME of the game is DIABLO!! LORD OF TERROR AND ALL THINGS SINISTER!!
Now tell me WHERE THE HECK does rainbows, bright vibrant colors, copy-pasted WoW-tard graphics, fit in a game as freggin' awesome and dark as Diablo!??!
Have all of you lost your mind? I garauntee most of these people supporting such an atrocious version of Diablo are all from WoW and like simple fun/happy/dancing crap like that.
Give me the real Diablo not this mainstream crap.
So yes, DARKEN THE GRAPHICS !! OR Diablo himself shal CURSE YOU !

Read my post above, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
I hate WoW guts and will never play because i think it is too stylized, and Diablo 3 looks nothing like it, there is NOTHING in common between the two, each one of them HAS ITS OWN STYLE.

"This place is thick with the stench of ghouls"
Said the Barbarian before proceeding to slaughter everyone
It is hard to create a game, if it is an "evilness cult".
If the players are satisfyin from the "badness" of it, the game is becoming dangerous.
Diablo is not a game like the others. Diablo fanatics are the "real fanatics". "Fanatic" means, dangerous.
Who would like to see "more blood and ashes and fires and death and more death and more more death" ?
You are creating a game and people does not like it, becouse it is "lively".. It is not "dead". It is not "eviled".
There is a psychological problem.
Yes, DIABLO'S BLOODY ENVIRONMENTS' ALL FANATICS HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS.
I have it too. It is my choice. And if Diablo 3 will not be for us, ehh, we would not play. I am sure some other companies would create an evilish/realistic/bloody/cult game for us. And now, the choice is not mine. It is Blizzards hard decision. Choose a side Blizzard. .
"Diablo" name has an energy too.. Maybe Blizzard would not success under this mountainy heavy task.
But I definitely don't like everything being the same. That's boring.
