Blizzard is known for making games that can run on low system requirements. Every game company, or most of them, will try to fill up all the memory available for the game. The Higher the system requirements the less space a game will have for other things like LENGHT and GAMEPLAY. As much as I urge blizzard to change the graphic theme to what it was in DII, I would never ask them to upgrade those shaders and bloom at the price of gameplay or game length.
Space for what? They can have the game in production for 10 more years if that's what it takes to make Diablo 3.
Again space... space like DVD space. Memory? More expensive to produce?
The gameplay seems fine. Without it it's not Diablo. Game lenght has always been both Blizzard and Diablo's strong side. So?
They can take as much time as they need to make Diablo 3 as it should be. A certain visual masterpiece- one of the elements that WERE there a bit, but lacked on a different level. Eye-candy wise. Again the same mistake and even more so defined by curent standards, now along with the complete removal of atmosphere. If they could have ruined it it would look as it does now.
Think about it- their point is to make money, yes? Which will bring them more money?
1) a good game? 100 million sold units
or
2)a great game? 200 million sold units(which with current developments isn't going to be)

The Barbarian is from Arreat, a very cold snowy mountain top, but they are much tougher than normal humans, so they don't need warmth.

Where are Barbarians originally from? Sumeria, or more specifically Mesopotamia, AKA Europe. Think the Alps and the Pyrenees
hey man this is off topic but im just wondering why all you do is bash other forum members.
Because me and hundreds of other members have already made these points across. Change Diablo 3. And all the time there are people than won't listen to arguments and reason and post the same things all over again. It's quite frustrating really. learn to read from beggining to end. There are so many arguments it's not even fun anymore to disscuss and move my point across. Read and use your own mind to deduce.

Are you wanting the standards high so most people cant buy them ...... ?
If they made the graphics amazing by todays standards it would only be succesful on a 360 or Ps3 and wouldnt be its best for PC (As it could be)
What are you even talking about?

Is there anybody here with some graphics development background/knowledge that can tell me what blizzard could possibly change at this point considering Diablo 3's stage of development?
Look at the technology used in D3 insufficient thread.
Point is, even at this stage no one knows for sure how far they've gotten to. I for one don't take pre-alpha talk as a canon. Grain of salt. Even then, it's dissapointing to see what has been implemented.

No, that would be a pain in the ass. They would need a couple of more years to redo the game with more of those, its like starting from scratch. Unless they only intend to make minor changes. Though redoing the main character/bosses/spells should take less time. There is really no point in redoing those, the video cards of today and the rendering softwares we have can make a block look like a sphere without adding polygons, I would not bother with those.
No not really. I disagree and don't need to argument myself with other than that the engine itself is the way it is. Dx10 capable. It will take time to add more polygons or make the areas, monsters etc. anew that were already made. It will take time, but if this is still in the pre-alpha stages or whatever suits Blizzard to call it- then it won't be years. If they haven't really spent a lot of time building D3 thus far, then it won't be such a problem.

He meant it as in: even if they do place a character light-radius in THIS version od Diablo it wouldn't mean shit, as it would still remain the same shit it was before: Utter shit!

In one of the presentations there is a slide that reads "Don't be afraid of color" :(.
Diablo's got to have his pink dress. Without color he can't make a fashion statement, which is his job really: Is he not known as the Satin ? Lord of Fashion. Yellow is the new Black.
Seriously, all of this sounded to me like Blizzard was doing this on purpose from the beggining. But what would they get? I doubt it is a prank, because they're risking a major lot by staking their competence on the line there. It's all very confusing.
If they happen to make a claim that this was all a joke, I'll know for sure that it's not true. They would just be saving their skins and good name.
That's when I'll tell them: Fuck you! I haven't had a decent night's sleep these last few days dreading the rainbows, fuzzy bunnies and unicorns.
If by any chance there is some truth in this crazy theory of mine and they have been playing us for fools all along,all the while keeping grotesquity, blood and gore from me then know this Blizzard: you've lost your good name in one of your ' fans' .

You guys obviously can't get through your thick skulls that the game is not finished. Nothing you saw is final. It is simply showing off what the game will play like. I can't wait for Blizz to shut you guys up when the final build arrives. :D:thumbsup:
I laugh at you.

i dont know...i just get this overwhelming feeling that if the art direction was exactly the same we'd be hearing outcries of OMG BLIZZARD JUST INNOVATE ALREADY IF WE WANTED THE SAME FEEL OF DIABLO 1 AND 2 WE'D GO PLAY THEM STILL.
the fact of the matter is this: the art direction aint changing dramatically. you know they are aware of the EXTREMIST fans this way or no way are being heard on these forums and bnet forums, but the fact is blizzard will meet somewhere in the middle.
i dont expect a major overhaul to the visuals of diablo 3 from what we saw and i dont want it. they will adjust the visuals to be more accomodating to the average diablo franchise fan wanting it more bleaker and gloomy.
so lets stop with the exaggerating claims and end of the world bitching because no one cares that much into it besides you.
and for the record, i hate world of warcraft. ive only played the 10 day trail and after 3 days i was done because i hate the art design, rpg elements, and community. so stop pulling excuses out of your asses to divert my CONCERNS into fanboyism.
Hahaha, sorry, but I couldn't help myself; just had to say you're an idiot.
Contradicting yourself all over the place fanboy.

That doesnt matter because all of the hired artists will work accordingly to what the art director wants, he's the boss, he's the one that tells the artists what kind of feeling and style he wants the game to have, do you understand? The artists are simple workers, they just follow the art director orders and those orders are to copy World of Warcraft style
Maybe the workers can kill him and usurp control !
