I'm fine if you don't like D3, that's great, but could you at least compare it to games that HAVE similarity.
Thats really great how you compared the DUNGEON, what about the outside areas with rainbows? Also what about diablo 3's artwork? Way to try to make an opinion, then completely miss the point. One more ass-hat to deal with.

If you get personally attacked by letters through the internet its a good thing to always have a box of tissues and a band-aid around.
um actually they already admitted to it that it Looks exactly like WoW in many articles and interviews. Especially the interview in which this thread is made on. Perhaps you should have actually read the article before posting like a retard?
UM REALLY? Can you please provide DIRECT reference as to where a Blizzard developer states that DIABLO III IS AN EXACT REPLICA OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT in the term of artwork. Strange how no one really seems to agree with you on anything, oh well I must be the retard here am I right?
WoW is colorful, it has the same brightness as Hello kitty island adventure, diablo 3's artwork did, and some areas in the trailer were that bright aswell. Same for barney lol. Gj dude, keep up the great posts, you make yourself look like a dumbass by the second.
You're right WoW is colorful AND SO ARE over 1, 000, 000 different games out there, Diablo III must be cloning them all. It has the same brightness as Hello Kitty LMAO, that is the most retarded thing I have heard on this forum. Comparing brightness? That's a crock. My posts are great, people can agree, I believe the only "dumbass" here is you and those other zealots who cannot relinquish the fact that this games art direction is STAYING.

Are you fucking dumb kid?
Wilson also addressed a few of the concerns that critics of the new art direction had. Many blamed “World of Warcraft” for the change and the influence. But Wilson didn’t see that as a bad thing. “I think it’s impossible for us to not be influenced by our other creations,” he said. “There’s a lot of back and forth between the two games, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. We look at ‘World of Warcraft’ and the art style there is more cartoony than we wanted, but in terms of target identification and having a world that feels like you can move through it and spend lots of time in it, there’s a lot of elements to the art style that really work. We wanted an art style that really feels like Blizzard. And we pull new influences from a lot of areas. I think people over-emphasize the ‘World of Warcraft’ comparison. But are we influenced by ‘World of Warcraft’? Of course. As I think anyone who makes games nowadays, they have to be.”

EXACTLY, no where does he state that the game is a replica in ART DIRECTION of WoW, he states that ELEMENTS WERE BORROWED, WHICH IS OBVIOUS and WoW borrowed ELEMENTS FROM DIABLO. Diablo is borrowing many elements from God of War as well, why aren't you crying about that? This man also states something important that you must have missed and I totally agree with him "I think people over-emphasize the ‘World of Warcraft’ comparison" he's 100% right, you zealots take this way to heart.
Someones getting a little angry because he's WRONG and BLIZZARD turned their backs on him why? They're smarter and don't choose to listen to draconic tools.
What blows me away is the amount of ignorance in the arguments being posed by people dislike the art direction. I know people toss the word "ignorant" around a lot on forums, but I am using it in a much more literal sense rather than as a put down.
These people know nothing about art direction. They exaggerate and consistently use hyperbole to make their complaints seem warranted when anyone with eyes can see that there is a definite darkness to D3 and at the same time there is a beauty. The talk about realism without quantifying what meets their standards of realism when we are talking about a fantasy game. They use words like "cartoony" and "WoWish" when D3 is stylized and much more Diablo looking than WoW in appearance.
It's no wonder people are still arguing - we aren't getting anywhere if people are going to stubbornly stick to their personal preferences and not open their minds to learning about how the art direction that Blizz has chosen works.

lol? are you kidding me? Over-emphasize? I played world of warcraft for YEARS, i have many 70's with high end gear. I know what WoW looks like. Maybe YOU do not. He said they copied from WoW. You want more proof? Take a look at this retard.
Colors aside, tell me that IS NOT a undead caster from world of warcraft.
It also has the same exact casting animations.
LOL really, if your going to argue with me, bring your cookies with you. Otherwise your just going to get raped like all the other morons with no real arguement.
NOT ONLY THAT. But world of warcraft DID copy some things from diablo, and did world of warcraft LOOK anything LIKE diablo at ALL? Hell no. They practically took WoW and shoved it right up diablos ASS.

I picked the dungeon because I find the brightness of the dungeon more unrealistic than the outside world.
I'm not an asshat. I don't appreciate you flinging insults because you're exaggerating things on a mass scale.
I disagree with a fair share of the art direction as well but when you try to SERIOUSLY compare D3 and Hello Kitty, it's obvious they have nothing in common. It makes anyone who wants change in D3 look bad.

You played World of WarCraft for many years, why? If you don't like the elements in art direction it produced, WHY DID YOU PLAY IT HYPOCRITE, are you lying, that wouldn't surprise me? That's right, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing, go home already. I also played WoW for a long time and obviously unlike you, I enjoyed playing it. I agree that Diablo has many elements from WarCraft, which is borrowed from Diablo - but you're wrong when you say it's exactly the same. Also a TOTAL IDIOT ZEALOT when you compare it to Barney and Hello Kitty.
Colors aside, tell me that IS NOT a undead caster from world of warcraft.

No, it doesn't have the exact casting animations, once again you're exaggerating.
LOL really, if your going to argue with me, bring your cookies with you. Otherwise your just going to get raped like all the other morons with no real arguement.
I don't need to bring anything, in about 2 hours it'll be your bed time little boy. What exactly is your argument because you're all over the place, your only goal is to stir up trouble.
End of story. If you say it looks like Wow - you are not worth arguing with because you are obviously blinded by your D2 fetish.
If you say D3 looks cartoony you are not worth arguing with because you don't understand fundamental design. You don't understand the difference between cartoony and stylized. Get educated before you make such statements.
People - just don't bother arguing with the subclass of Diablo fan that actually wants more poop and black on their screen. They live in basements and think that all of us should live their mole-man lifestyle. They don't know what they are talking about. Let their use of words like "cartoony" or "WoWish" tip you off that they are not worth debating with.
Blizz is making a hell of a game. Let's try to be patient and see what the rest of it looks like before weeping up a storm.

Exactly. Can hardly wait for the colour trolls (we all know who they are :D) to depart for moribund sites supporting D1 so that real fans can get on with having fun. Oh yeah, on the way out take your knickers with you, trolls. They're terribly soiled and stinking up the place.

So we've got over the problem of colour in D3. Great. Now let's argue about everything else not yet set in stone and help make this game simply great! Game on.
i can see where the problems come in about art direction, but you cant use comparisions from wow or other games, those areant diablo, if you think it;s too colorful and want it a little darker just say it.
wow (not WoW) saw some very strong arguement whiles I've been sleeping. Creepsville that is a great great comparison. Good Job :thumbsup:
However.... I did see a lot of hyperboles, with hello kitty/Barney comparison. That is just crossing the line and picking something out of nothing. I think the case is pretty much closed.
YEAAH SO AWESOME BLIZZZAR D<333 KISSES LOVE YOU
EVOLUTION IS HERE< GREEN WALLS AND WARCRAFT IS THE FUTURE
it's good that your shepard takes so good care of you people, bye
You should make yourself a little more productive. I was skeptical when the forum claims many of the petitioners had little to no arguement at all. However, that is becoming more and more believable...... :O.
To the green wall thing though. Thousands of games have green walls in caves and dungeons, even the most violent and mature games. If someone could give me a better color to brighten up dungeons without making it too bright or too dark. I'd say no to all green walls. But so far, I've yet to see better colors than green that would not destroy the quiet and creepy atmosphere.

The WoW/Dark Cultist post? I didn't say a thing about comparing to WoW. I said Hello Kitty.
There is at least some evidence of WoW art style in D3. Hello Kitty? Not at all.
Asshat.
Thank god. Go play your Night Elf Hunter or something.
Finally, don't come back. He probably plays a Blood Elf Paladin, female too.
