I have played WoW since release date and I think it is a great game. I know many people share the same opinion as me on the state of D3 at the moment. I have never played any of the previous Diablo games. Coming from an avid WoW fan, I must say that even the gameplay demo looks like an upgraded WoW. The blocky tilesets, the blurred images and especially the lion statue, and bulky shoulder armors that are posted everywhere are familiar to wow. I think that the developers are heavily influenced because of WoW's success, like it or not. What they are trying to do I believe is make the game appealing to the 10 mil in WoW, and for the old fanbase to maximise sales.
However I believe that diablo should stay true to its predecessors, and not go down the 'cartoony, bright' path that WoW is. I agree, there are some corny things in there like the mini pets, mini tyreal?? That was absurd... However D3 is in pre alpha, which means it is not too late to change the style, however it would be too late to speak up about it 5 months from now. I know I am going to get flamed for liking WoW, but whatever, just my thoughts.
I think you failed to understand my point.. I come from Wow, but what I am saying is that diablo 3 looks too much like WoW and i would not enjoy playing it at the current state... So in other words im for the darker , less neon green flood light looks.

Then please sign the petition and and please stop making new threads about the art direction. There are already threads about this.
I disagree! D3 looks like wow, plays differently to wow (of course), that is all...
edit- take this from someone who has played wow since release, over 4000 hours. trust me it does.
I looked at wow, then looked at gameplay trailer and I disagree with you. The only similarity is the flat textures. I happen to like the color in D3 and if anything there needs to be a bit more contrast, but that could have just been the compression of the video or the settings of the monitor.
As far as the big shoulder pads are concerned. I also looked at the D3 concept art for the barbarian for D3 and the shoulder pads are indeed big.. however the witch doctor does not have big shoulder pads, or shoulder pads at all, so I believe this only applies to the Barbarian, which I don't mind since, if anyone's going to have heavy bulky shoulder armor it would be the barbarian.
Yeah I've played WoW since its release too. go Look up my character Remnock lvl 70 Orc hunter on the Armory, US realms.
As far as how the armor looked in D2 that armor you posted only looks like that in the inventory screen. It never looked like that on your character.
Also that WoW comparison, which I've already seen a million times, is pointless unless you can replicate it in WoW. The only real similarities to WoW in D3 are the flat textures. Which I believe Blizzard is using to keep sys requirments for the game down.
inventory screen?no,you misunderstood my point..
diablo3's arts style should be more realistic instead of these above....good comics looking huh?Unfortunately...

It is Obvious (People with Half a brain WILL see that it's a Fact!) that Diablo 3 is Influenced by MF WOW, you noticed these guys announcing or talking about Diablo 3 even wear?
WOW Shirts!!!
I LOVE Blizzard before, but they are not right to messing Diablo 3 with WOW crap!

Blizzard, please put back the single player offline mode!
I'm sorry but in my opinion I like the artistic style of D3 much more than D2. I also believe that the characters themselves are more realistic looking than the ones in D2. I never considered D2 to be very realistic, and always thought it had its own style. That being said I like the D3 style, especially for the barbarian so far.
It does look like wow, why cant some people see that?
When i think wow graphics, I think:
1. Purple or green fog/mist/hue (due to pathetic draw distance)
2. Exaggerated, oversized thickness in objects such as furniture.
3. Clownsuit equipment
Having looked at the d3 gameplay vid, lets see if we can find any of these traits in there;
1. check (in the dungeon)
2. check (in the dungeon, the railing and the cornerlnobs on it is a good example. Also the equipment, mainly shoulders and helmet)
3. Not so much part from the oversized issue. The weapon glows were a little too flashy maybe, but they might have been uniques.
I still think d3 looks good, but it DOES look like wow! Confess!
the only things that make it resemble WoW at all are the flat textures (no bumb maps, material shaders.) and possibly the colors. Nothing else reminds we of WoW at all.. the dungeon in that D3 trailer was about a million times more detailed than anything you would see in WoW and also its use of light and space was nothing like wow...
