Quote from name="Sol Invictus" »You need to stop. You're not doing yourself any favors with these posts. You and the few other people like seem to think you're the core people who want the style changed just because you make the most noise.
Guess what? We're all fans, like it or not. Give it a rest.

Quote from "Snowee" »The words ..fans may as well settle in for a healthy wait.. and ..the game is nowhere near finished.. were scary.
Oh well. I'm positive now this won't be coming until 2010 or late 2009.
I think he's forgetting conveniently how those places were colored:DPeople remember the Act I dungeons... but they kind of conveniently forget the green fields of Act I, and all of Act II... and it's palaces, its bright deserts.
Is this guy for real?:confused:Diablo II, said Wilson, was actually "very saturated, very bright."
Haven't seen any of that philosophy before Warcraft 3. Ever. None of that for Diablo 1,2, Starcraft, Warcraft 1,2. Nor the Lost Vikings."There's a philosophy that goes across all of our games, and that philosophy stays true from game to game... so it probably draws some comparisons," Wilson said. "One philosophy is that our artists feel like if they're just using photorealism, not creating a unique look for the game, not stylizing so that it's uniquely Blizzard, then they're not doing their jobs."
Well I'm glad we didn't see the tombstones copy pasted from WoW then:DThere are some cases, though, where the sharing of art philosophy doesn't always work — WoW game director Jeffrey Kaplan said that the team takes care not to make the gravestones in WoW's pivotal cemeteries too Gothic-looking — those tombstones belong in Diablo.
YES! Finally! Some light at the end of the tunnel! This made me really happy. The only good part of the interview, really, because it's the only part where they're not firing a shotgun at their own feet. I'm glad the environment will get worse. And they've confirmed the plot as well, basically. Hell IS breaking loose.The preliminary art we've seen so far, Wilson said, is from early on in the game. "We want to generate the feeling of everything getting worse... it's part of our narrative. It makes the more gloomy part of the game a place where the stakes get higher."
Would have been nice if they'd say that earlier, to stop the "whining". But why didn't they? Well, I could come up with many theories. Ah well, their choice. It was good publicity, actually."If you start out at the apocalypse, and then move to more apocalypse, it's not going to have much of an impression on players."

Wait until next week, if they have more to show us (more of the same) then go as vocal as you want.

I still say wait for it. It's only been like 2 days.

The trailer? The trailer looks awesome! And seriously turning it grey is not the best solution as you proposed. Someone posted DoW II pics here a while ago. That's the right way.

I have no gripes over the barbarian, I think he looks quite nice as he is.

Well hooray for someone who likes series to not feel like a series and a set of completely different games

Well, I for one enjoyed the announcement. I found myself dumbshot after seeing all the footage, but an hour or so after, there was this little niggling doubt in the back of my head, that maybe I wasn't so impressed after all. I checked all the footage again, and it hit me, like a foot in the family jewels, it didn't "look" right. I've played Mythos and I was genuinely pleased with it's graphics because it fits it's universe, D3's on the other hand in my opinion does not. Call me a whiner but at least I'm not being a stiff prick about the whole matter *cough*
When I woke up the other morning and checked the internets I was absolutely speechless. I was out-of-control-happy, my lifelong dream of a game is coming true, I was ranting about it to everyone, spreading the word. I still like it, un-gritty graphics or not.
And speaking about praise, it's being pumped out by the truckload. Don't actually see much complaining or whining on the whole.

Well your optimism is welcomed but one of the 2 areas was a clearly defiled catacomb of sorts with skeletons and creepy shit shouting at your face trying to rip it off. What it looked like wasn't exactly a pant-wetting dark, desecrated place...
Emotions are wonderful things. There's a thin line between any of them, love can turn to hate as much as hate can turn to love. Right now I'm loving and hating it in rapid succession. I love what they've shown us so far but most of it looks un-diabloish.
About the textures, they might be high-res, but the detail is nigh impossible to see, mainly because there isn't any. It's all very smooth and all.. it doesn't exactly help.

I'd say it's worse due to the fact that everything still looks like it's made from lego blocks. It's not sharp, it's still silky-smooth and polished, and that's what bothers my eye...

Ergh. Definitely not as good as the other conversions. This one just has the colours bleached out and some cracks added, nothing more :confused:

Would be fun to see the results...

Glad we found a common tongue
For me this just doesn't.. "feel" right. Maybe we have seen too little, maybe it's not as bad. But so far the world doesn't seem believable and I am not impressed. If it's Diablo then it's gloomy, no doubt about it. Personally I love D1 most of the (rather short, actually) series so far. The art style, gameplay and music added into something that was amazing.
I don't want Blizzard to have a fiasco with this, but if they continue with the same spirit it's inevitable.
