But yes, I also dislike the look of D3. I don't understand, its not very hard:
Picture the graphic with a pink bunny in it. If it fits, the graphics sucks.
Now I have no idea how that screenshot was made, but it doesn't matter: D3's graphics are just not very good. Its the same thing that happened to StarCraft, is SC2 supposed to look good? But hey, new games hardly ever look good. They either look like kid games or have 1 dominant colors, most often than not brown or gray.
Are you guys just talking to talk? Or do you really think, deep down, that they would be capable of that?
D3 looks fine. If I want to see those graphics, I'll play that game. eesh.
I'm talking to talk, this pic looks very nice and has the appropriate atmosphere for a Diablo game, but I like how graphics for D3 are, though I would reduce some of the pastel colors I can't complain, and we haven't seen all of the areas so maybe the pastels are only in the first act... who knows
I agree with Lovedoll, although i have never seen castlevania before the resolution between the background and the inventory/UI is noticeably different. The inventory also has a different style of design to it, it has much smoother and rounded edges to it. http://kotaku.com/5568945/castlevania-lords-of-shadow I googled Castlevania: Lord of Shawdows screenshots and found this (the second screenshot), they seem very similar to me. o.O

Its a castlevania screenshot photoshoped with Diablo inventory, UI and barbarian.
It´s true!!
OMG NOOOO WAAAAYYYYYY! -__-
The only thing I would care if D3 took from this was the blood splattering effect on the ground. That would be nice.

That shit is photoshopped. Too much texture detail there. You wouldn't be able to play it even if you had the best PC. Of course it looks much better but it would be impossible. However I still complain about colors. Colors are very gay. No wonder why you end up being a gay when you cross under a rainbow. They can still change colors.

First off only thing that is photoshopped is the barbarian in there and the UI. The rest of it is from the Castlevania game. Secondly the best PC could rip that shit to shreds and laugh doing it.
Also SFJake are you saying SC2 looks bad? Ever try playing it and then going back to sc1? It's the same comparison I make with D3 to D2. After playing D3 and feeling the game in motion and seeing it, there really is no comparison D3 > D2. Then again D1 > D2/3 easily. D3 in the demo felt faster and way more gruesome opposed to D2.
Im pretty confident we will get areas like this, especially considering the demo they had had more blood and massacre in it then the whole Diablo series has had combined haha. How often did you see tons of ripped to shreds bodies and dismembered bodies in Diablo? Other then the impaled in Diablo 1 and Durance of Hate Diablo 2 is carebear to Diablo 3 in terms of gruesomeness.

The only annoying thing with SC1 is the control and the interface compared to SC2 which had lots and lots of much needed improvements.
As far as the look, SC1 looks and sounds better than SC2. Other than specific shiny explosions and effects that are better to look at, there's no question to me, SC1 looks and feels better.
I agree 2d > 3d all the way. You can turn off the shiny effect of SC2 and make it more blandish and it really feels superior atleast to me. With Diablo tho the land is still 2dish I guess, it felt just like Diablo 2. It had the isometric style going which is what makes Diablo so great.
So I can't make an exact reference on who did it or where it really did originate from.
However I agree that when I think about diablo 3 this image burns into my mind. If diablo 3 looked like this then just all of my dreams would have came true.
Also to the people arguing about graphics and such, obviously you would be able to tone them down if you didn't have the hardware. You forget that diablo 3's current art style is just a STYLIZED art design. It could have looked like this and could have been able to run on a WIDE range of computer hardware.
TBH I think this photoshopped image is bad. It's so overly grainy, it looks like 90's era tryhard "girtty" graphics. I bet it would would be pretty hard to get a grasp on what's going on, and where, especially during fights.
This one is meh, and the other examples of D3 images are meh... but the official examples linked are usually from ~2 years ago when it was in very early development.
When you look at examples from more recent in development the case doesn't look so grim
In fact, that image is a direct cut and paste from the Castlevania cinematic trailer, with a D3 Barb cropped in.

The photo came from another diablo fansite. As others have said, it's a photoshop of the latest Castlevania game. It looks damn good too. The design is much more in tone with the Diablo series than Diablo III, at least in that photo.
Like...
why can't diablo 3 look like this?
WHYYYYY!?!? :sad:
also, where did this come from? It's very different than the first round of images which were just fuzzy and dark, this is just...epicly awesome

well... it doesn't look that bad now, but this is by far better

If by "more in tone with the Diablo series" you mean "looks like it's from the 1990's" then you'd be correct.
