But you're right about the items (I assume you're talking about the boots that are on the ground). They don't look too great.
Yea I know, but I was just pointing out that screenshots always make things like that look worse if they're taken at a certain time. And I was referring to the boots.
It seems like most of the concept art is usually a single monster or character with their head slanted to one side making a face as if they just found out they just ate human feces...I'm sure they have way more varied concept arts to share. And as for the screenshots - yeah a little repetitive.
Well from what Bashiok said soon before launching this promotion, it seems like he basically recieved a bunch of these pictures, so its not like he's choosing from all the concept art that has been done.
Thats a pretty big jump. For one, thats something that could easily be an option you can turn off, and no matter your IQ you can miss stuff. I'm not saying it has to be nearly as shiny as it is, but for all we know the screenshot was taken at the peak of how bright it gets, and it only stays that way for a few seconds when it drops. Which really wouldn't be bad at all. Still doesn't make up for the crappy looking item icons though.
There's something that bothers me about the gold in this game. And I swear I'm not one of those people who ever felt D3 was way too colorful and all that crap. I just wish the gold didn't sparkle and shine so brightly. Not because I'm against bright things and colors and stuff. But just because it makes it look too arcadish to me. So many arcade style games have lots of sparkly glittery glowing things on the ground for you to walk over to pick up. And yes, I know D2's items on the ground sparkled a bit, but that was pretty different than this, way more toned down.
Some will probably argue, "Well, it's just so you can see the gold better..." Really, though? Or maybe have the gold either glowing or sparkling but not both. It just makes the gold really stand out way too much and it kind of clashes with everything you're seeing. Whether they turn down the brightness or contrast on the gold a bit, I don't care, but they should do something so it doesn't contrast so sharply with everything else around it.
Yea I saw those and immediately thought "I hope the item/gold icons aren't final." But also, as Crusader said, I never noticed it when I was watching D3 videos. I don't mind the sparkling/light aura as much as I mind how cartoony the item icons look. Thats one of those things that could be pretty easily changed though, so hopefully that happens before beta/release.
I really like the artwork. I'm getting a bit tired of screenshots from the same dungeon, though. I'd like to see some Act 3 outdoor environments now!
Yea, the artwork is definitely where its at. I don't think they'll reveal anything about Act 3 though, especially through these screenshots.
