To jump right into it, we know that in DI and II, Diablo was taller than the player char, but not really very large. Maybe this was because of low screen resolution at the time(640x480), so an overlarge Diablo would've filled up the whole screen.
Coming to DIII, the graphics now easily allow for greater screen areas and we've already seen huge bosses like Siegebreaker, Leoric, etc etc. Given all this info, will/should Diablo remain as small as he was before? He HAS to be more badass, somehow, than ANY of the other guys, and I don't really see the puny Diablo matching up. What say?
.... I don't really see the puny Diablo matching up. What say?
Plz don't insult big D from D1 and D2. They were very well made according to me. However if blizz relied only on size to make an impression on us, it will be a bit disappointing.
I mean by that, that they need to create a mood. I feel D2 did it quite well though...
I remember first time in D2 in catacombs where i was supposed to kill Andy. I opened my quest log and read 'Kill Andariel'. I couldn't find her. I was in catacomb level 4...N i saw that big door..which i opened...to kill a few monsters. I was full of anticipation. It still did not prepare me for Andy(the first boss and her sheer size too) when she cried- die maggot and a single poison nova later, all(yes ALL) my skellies lied around me in crumpled heaps. N i was trying to open a TP coz my life was draining away so fast...
Duriel too was pretty nice. Stuck in a chamber with that guy who when he bashed u, there was only a quarter(if u lucky) life left.
Imagine D3..whre u won't have TPs... Imagine how tough Duriel would be...
As for what we know of D3, i though King Leoric got a nice intro as boss... It was cool. :cool:
i think i member seeing a tp in the first barb vid????? correct if wrong. havnt watched it in ages.
as for diablo, I HOPE HES THERE. god damn, its only called DIABLO 3.
imo, your right, however. it comes in parts. 1 part is his sheer size/beastlyness
another part is his badassness. if he is not at least 3x more epic than siege breaker, i might quit the game.
3rd part. THE MOOD! first time, and several more times after, i played d2, i was in the game. the ground work and such was great. by the looks of it, im pretty sure its gonna be good in all 3 of these sections in d3. HOW CANT IT?
There was a statement made about the Diablo Overthrown statue on Diablo3.com that revealed that said demon was Diablo. It also gives you a nice comparison for how large Diablo will be.
Yeah, I think it's safe to assume Diablo will be in the game in some form. Personally I'd like to see him be similar to the D2 version, maybe slightly bigger but not a huge boss like the siege breaker.
Well, there we go, heh. I kind of just assumed Diablo would be in the game in some form, since the game is called Diablo, of course. However, I must've missed the memo confirming it, :|.

The statue caption read something like: Barbarian standing on Diablo's head.
Or something very similar indicating that the monster we saw in the trailer was in fact Diablo.

I'm thinking he should be the size he's always been. I think it would just look silly if Diablo was the size of a castle. I associate gigantically sized monsters with stupidity and mindlessness (Siege breaker anyone) and I wouldn't want to think of someone as cunning and sadistic as Diablo like that.
And I agree with Necrodrac, I was terrified when I saw Andy and ditto for Duriel. Their size compared to the rest of the demons was enough to make me antsy.

I think the Siegebreaker should be the max height of any bosses.
If Diablo was as huge as a castle that would be rediculous. I hate games that have that big of bosses. (besides Zelda ofc :P)
ya it was in the first gameplay video with deckard cain who had to go in one
Yeah your right but I'm pretty sure, as of now, that TPs are not a planned part of the game. At least not in the way we are used to. I believe i read that somewhere, I'll dbl check it.

Size doesn't matter. A big unicorn with a big horn isnt scary to me. And also a big, scary, blood dripping, gory Diablo isnt scary if he is unicorn land. Diablo himself won't make me terrified but rather the situation and whole themey thing that he is in. Like the butcher, when you look at a screen shot of him he isn't so scary, but when you hear "Ah Fresh Meat" out of no where only to find some half sized dude dressed in blood holding a cleaver....well, stuff happens..
Im hoping they rely on more than looks and graphics for D3.

Battle not with monsters lest you become one.
