i know its more detailed than wow textures, they still dissapoint, it still isnt as detailed as d2 -dont make me post the gargoyle statue.
I know, every game disappoints you alittle bit, but you cant always have everything perfect for you. And plus in such early stages of upcoming release the disappointment emos/goths kids:D get is just ridiculous.
You can fix it. By adjusting monitor settings or ingame brightness/customization. Alot of techniques to make it more dark. And plus how can you judge a game by just watching some glimpses of the first act???? Imagine the last act, this game is going to be amazing. It will crush WoW.
did u even read my post i said i was ok with the brightness, my problems cant be adjusted using monitor settings
the game i see isnt unique at all, thats my point it looks like titan quest or some other diablo ripoff. i was just expecting somthing more true to the franchise yet still original in its own right.
“One of the things that we considered when we were working on the visuals for ‘Diablo III’ is the fact that color is your friend...," said Lee. You hear that folks? Not everything should be dark and grimy like a bathroom in a rest stop at night. Lee also added that the colors add contrast to the game as it highlights some areas of the environment. "A great analogy is like in the 'Lord of the Rings' - not everything is dark,' said Lee.
to clairify, im ok with the level of darkness, even the outdoor areas. and while the colors dont make sense, i can live with them. the problem i have runs deeper which is why im so dissapointed becuase i know its unlikely to be fixed.
You can fix it. Turn off the monitor and everything will be dark :rolleyes:. Seriously all these negativity wouldn't make the game much better.

Actually many see it very unique, it will look more like Titan Quest if they do actually change it to the way you want.
Isn't that what you want
Well, sadly that's Titan Quest
And that's Dungeon Siege 2
Can't you see how both look generic and boring, the look almost identical, only with TQ having better graphics, but both have the same boring style.
D3 looks nothing like this now, and many people ( including myself ) don't want it to.

Well were doomed, but this is just labeling the community, i mean you see these threads "diablo fans angry" or " the community wants" DAmnit im happy with the graphics and i think the petition can go to hell.

actually the titan quest pic looks more detailed than any d3 pic ive seen also has better lighting
besides im NOT saying it looks EXACTLY like it, i just think they went the wrong way with it.
Where in sane hell do you get off with the whole warcraft connections?! ok they have some similarites big whopp, The gameplay, and graphics still looks kick ass damnit.

i hope this comparison show what i mean
So you are trying to compare a tiny 2D sprite to a fully detailed 3D model ( even not the same character class ) !!?
That side of the comparison is not really valid.
As for the other side, what do you expect a barbarian to wear, paper thin armor, it has to be bulky and spiky.
And comparing it to WoW shows clearly that D3 is far superior in all terms, the textures are very nice, the colors are realistic and coherent, the textures are crisp.
Here is a summation about the Armor thing.
The spiky armor above was in the game, and this Barbarian 3D model here was the one used for the 2D sprite in the Diablo 2 game ( as stated by the artist himself ), so, that bland looking armor or this new more detailed and realistic one.
The Barbarian heavy armor designs always featured spikes and huge shoulder pieces, and simple as that, it looks a lot better now.
Warhammer and Gears of War Both have very bulky armor and there is nothing cartoony about it, they are both gritty dark universes.

Hunter that CG barbarian picture looks awesome!. I wouldn't mind if D3 has that art direction though. So it seems it's not about darkness then. It's about armor pieces now.

Well, he looks crappy to me, neither the design nor the quality are anything close to the new one IMO.
The new one is far more detailed and realistic than the old one.

I know the world of Diablo from the first to the second game show a much more morbid side of sanctuary and made it more horrifying but, when i first heard of the news, i was so excited that they're actually making a brand new installment to the game.. Now for all you colorblinds and chromophobics out there, give it a rest already... The makers of this game are trying to bring to life the world of Diablo to make it more realistic.. And besides, Diablo III is afterall venturing into new realms of the world... And another thing, I like the new changes... Makes me want to speed up time to the release date and get me myself a copy of the game... Great work Blizzard!!!

In between Light and Darkness, he was born. Outside of time and space he exists.. In this hour of darkness, he is once again called for to rid the world of sin and chaos.....
you all taking me as an evil guy who wants diablo3 to fail, i just want it to live up to the diablo name.
i know the gameplay will be awesome and help make up for any peves i may have with its looks, but if its released unchanged it wont be a true diablo to me and many others.
it will be a diablo ripoff with great gameplay elements using the diablo name.
also i know u people like the new look, or maybe your just siding with blizz art team because u want the game yesterday, its ok nothing wrong with any of that, but dont chastise me because i would prefer a true continuation of the series instead of this "Contoversial Art" direction they have taken.
it really angers me that they would even go the controversial route, they had to have known it would upset people. the only real reason is that they are being greedy, babying it up to gain a bigger audience. i dont believe for a second that they truly feel their new art style is moving in the right direction from a gamers perspective.
It seems to me that in game character model looks better than the one showcase in the D3 character class page. It seems very low on polygon count and character models look very blocky.

anyway u missed the point, im not saying d2 looks better than d3 from a graphical standpoint, it obviously looks nicer
im trying to illustrate the artistic direction overall isnt staying true to diablo, its obviously INFLUENCED more by warcraft than d2, which is WRONG! imo KEEP THE GAMES SEPARATE! as much as possible PLZ
