I agree with vegas :/..
the art direction is not bad, it just doesn't fit diablo at all, if we didn't know that diablo 3 was being made and we looked at that barbarian woman screenshot, we would never think that it's diablo 3, we would think it's from a new WOW game or something, but not diablo.
and blizzard is not changing the graphics because they already made most of the game using WOW ideas and WOW looking graphics, they said it themselves that diablo 3 is very influenced by WOW, and WOW makes money so if they take some things from WOW they are hoping to attrack WOW players too and hope it will be almost as big as WOW...all of us diablo fans will buy diablo 3, even if we like it or not just to see how it is.
Blizzard north really didn't think diablo would make a lot of money, they just made a great game (even with its few flaws it was still great) without thinking about making a lot of money, but this is not blizzard's case anymore, I remember when they listened to their fans and made games because they wanted to make great games, not because they wanted to make money.
there are way to many blizzard fans that think they can't do anything wrong, that they are game making gods or something and trust blizzard completely, I don't really think blizzard has made any good games besides diablo and diablo 2 (exp not included), WOW is total crap and played by losers and little kids. I remember playing diablo 1 and having the crap scared out of me, I was actually afraid to go in a fight the monsters and I'm sure a lot of you got at least chills playing diablo 1 and it wasn't only scary, but it wa salso fun and it took skill and thinking, but diablo 3 has lost the "diablo" heart and doesn't really feel like diablo anymore, diablo 1 had crap graphics, but at least they did what they were meant to do, inmerse you in the game and scare you.
It sucks that the graphics look colorful and too soft and have no texture or defenition at all, like most people say, they look like paintings, if I wanna look at a painting then I go to a museum, but I don't wanna kill a zombie that doesn't look like a zombie or walk through a monster infected section that doesn't look scary, graphics might not play an important part in most games, but they do in diablo, and I too like vegas don't play many games and carefully choose which ones to play because I don't have much time to play games and I rather use it playing a great game than just random other not so good games
blizzard's arguments about the gaem are not substantial either, it's all bull because they just DON'T wanna change the graphics and want to appeal to as many people as possible, thus they are aiming for a non mature rating too :/

May 1, 2008ld006 posted a message on Diablo3.com becomes Diablofans.com! Blizzard acquires diablo3.com.I think this could be either good or bad. 75% chance that they will announce diablo 3 at wwi which is why they finally got diablo3.com, or 25% chance that they don't want any sites about diablo 3 because they are never making it and they want anyone who types anything about diablo to go directly to blizzard and maybe be interested in other blizzard games (like wow) since there's no diablo 3Posted in: News

hmm..I was bored today so I sketched some diablo 3 monsters, they are not that great since they are quick sketches
Unknown: I don't know who or what this is supposed to be..maybe an Act/quest boss or maybe the final boss of diablo 3, a fusion of Diablo mephisto and baal, of course he'd be much cooler looking
Spiral Demon: this monsters has a whirlwind-like attack, and does massive damage with his two spiked mace-hands, he's very fast and agile (same speed as the brutes/ gargantuan beasts)
Banished Knight: I don't exactly know what his attack would be but he could have a melee attack that does magic damage instead of physical
well..that's it :/....not a masterpiece but it's an idea at least..i'll draw more if u guys like them
