Diablo will always keep the same atmosphere. What is up in the air is how the perspectives, or camera angles will be used around the 3D
What does everyone think about Titan Quest's camera angles?

Because if the invisible guy the president believes in isn't the real invisible guy then the real invisible guy gets mad and no longer powers our economy with his invisible hand. Jesus, have you never even read anything about economics?
i think d2 should be oldskool isometric view, but i could live with neverwinter nights 3D graphics or God of War 3D graphics, i think i would go more insane if it was WOW 3D graphics

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
3d is a great Idea, as long as you can move the camera to keep everybody happy. If Diablo goes 3-d they will most likely have it where you can move the camera to any view, even your 2.5 bird's eye. Now if you compare warcraft 1 to diablo 1, warcraft was more colorful and more cartoonish. If you compare Warcraft 2 to diablo 2, warcraft was more colorful and cartoonish. Now if you compare Warcraft 3 and WOW to Diablo three, I bet you a 1000 dollars that Warcraft will be more colorful and Cratoonish than Diablo 3. Diablo 3 most certainly will keep its gothic look and darkness. I feel comftroble and trust blizzard enough to know that they wont make it look like a pokemon game, its going to look bad ass and the detail of the graphics is going to show it. Imagine hacking at a demon from hell with an ax (from whatever view you want, even your 2.5 bird's view, since its 3d you can do that) and its wounds showing up with each slice. Or casting a fireball at an enemy and them actually burning. Imagine all the detail on your armor, mabey seeing scars on your face from other battles. When you start thinking of the endless possiblities of 3-d it gets very attractive. The game will be so much more of a kick ass game if they itroduce 3-d, BUT THEY MUST keep that 2.5 Bird's eye view to keep everyone happy!
I built my computer, and its bad ass. And Im always updating it. Why would I want a game thats less than what my pc can handle? Now I wouldent want a game that can only run on my computer, everything within reason. Why build a top of the line computer if you never get to use its features? I understand that not everyone has a top of the liine pc, but if you havent updated it within the past couple of years, it might be that time. Dont hold on to things so long, technology doubles its speed every 18 months. So pc gaming, by nature, requires you to UPDATE! Now If you dont update often I think Diablo III would be the perfect time to do so!
I said everything with reason. My thinking is have features such as where you control the anti-asailing. If you have a kick ass graphics card you set it at 4x if you dont then you set it at double or none. The game should be built around the fact that you have options if you have a better computer. sound for example you could have stero or souround, based on what card you have. You can run Diablo III the way Im saying on an average pc of today. Its just playing with the customized features. They let you do that in NWN and Guild Wars, so its not unheard of.
My old computer was a 233mhz computer with 16 meg of ram and a 2 gig hard drive. It cost my family 6 grand and we had it for eight years...I could run d2 on it without a glitch. If we have something like Wow which requires 1 gig of ram then it would just be a let down to all the poor people who loved d2.
I currently have a 2.8ghz with 512meg of ram and a ati9200 128mb graphics card. This does me fine but the computer costs me about 2 grand to get together and that is alot of money to someone like me who is only 18 and doesn;t get enough money to even pay his rent.
How do you think the little kids who haven't even got pocket money are going to buy a PC capable of playing a Graphics demanding game to which they had bought all of the predecessors. I am very sorry but it just doesn't cut it when people say that their $5000 computer can handle any games graphics at 200fps and everyone else can stick it!
THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN! THE STREET BUMS! THE JOBLESS DIABLO ADDICTS! How are they going to get their fix of D3. They are going to end up having to steal from old ladies to get enough money for an hour at an internet cafe. I just don't think that is right!!!!
Ahhhhh...that's better.....what does everyone else think?
I am one of those kids that built my own computer because I dident have money. In fact it was because of diablo II that I learned to build it because, its a hell of alot cheper than going out an buying one already made, HANDS Down. So to those who, as you say street bums, that dont have an average computer, pick up a build a comp. for dummies book and build one, its not at all expensive, I swear to you, because I was there myself. I had no money and a shity computer, I mean shity, couldent even run D1 very well. I just over time started to build a super computer. Im not saying build top of the line, I SAID AVERAGE. Which could cost a few hundred bucks to make not 5,000.
Building a computer still costs money. I built my computer that I have now, I chose all the components, all the expanded memory, different peripherals, bought a new graphics card (although it was a crappy one it is still better than my sis600) and whacked it all together in a poxy black box. It still cost me $2K to make the stupid thing and I still can't run quake 4 properly.
I know that you don't need the rest of the specs to be high I just don't want to have to buy an X800pro to run the bloody game...So I am sorry if you feel offended but I havent got access to cheap parts and am not a big fan of having to upgrade my videocard for every new game that comes out. It sucks ballz when that happens. Have you seen what games look like through a 64mb graphics card and a 256 x800Pro. It makes you cry....
lol you're a funny guy whitelion43 but, hmmm i don't waste time building or buying comp, i got my 5comps for free all alienware softwares. got them all from my job with no string attach! neway i gratz u for building your own homemade comp

the best BOW of DIABLO2LOD for annoying nubs in the game.......now beat this!
you obviously dont go to the right store, or you dont have the right store around to get your parts. I can build a great computer that will be a bit above average for $600, pc (all devices), monitor, mouse and keyboard. There is a great store called fry's electronics where I live, very good parts for cheap. there website is outpost.com. You can work wonders on that site and get good deals too. You cant get name brand stuff, except you should on ram and video cards. But you must keep in mind this: Dell computers are not dell peices, hp are not hp pecies, compaq are not compaq peices its just a bunch of different companys throwen into a box and then the up sell from there. Next time you go to build check the website out, I highly recomend it. I wouldent be able to build computers without that store for cheap, so I hope it helps!
