"We beleive that the stories of Diablo have alot of unexplored potential. In the art styles, we try to express the mood and tone of the story through heavy contrasts. If you have played the demo, you can see just a snippet of what is to come to the Diablo universe in terms of the new direction of the art styles. We have brought back many of the same musical artists from the past Diablo games, let them play a little bit of the game, and then let them loose to create music to match the tones of the story and art. So far they have come up with a lot of fantastic pieces, many of which are not quite done yet. However, it is my pleasure to introduce their compsition of the new opening song for our latest title, Diablo 3." - Ray Gresko

Seriously, we are over the whole art direction debate. After playing the demo, noone thinks that its too colourful anymore.
