I rather have my Diablo game than a colorful game. If the choice is a few more months then so be it. I want the best of the best of this franchise.
Yeah, because previous Diablo games weren't colorful at all, right?
I mean, fallens/carvers didn't come in red and blue variations. Sand maggots never showed up in red, yellow, orange... the bright glowing gloams never showed up in glowing red, blue.... Necro curses weren't bright and colorful all over the screen.... paladin auras were always dull and dreary.... it wasn't like just about every monster in the game was rehashed in various colors through the acts or anything.
Oh, and there was definitely nothing even close to resembling the colors of the rainbow anywhere in a previous Diablo game...
I still find it amazing that people are freaking out of a little art when they should be greatful that Blizz didn't decide to make D3 like Hellgate or something worse.
My biggest worry was they they wouldn't stick with the isometric view. They can get creative with the art all they want for all I care. Game play is what's most important, and that seems to be on the right track.
Are you trying to say I'm late to the party, or something? Because if you want to play that game, I already posted this on gamespot/gamefaqs forums on June 28th
They should rename it Isometric World of Warcraft.
So a full screen glow effect, glowing weapon enchants, shoulder armor, and slight artistic similarities and a similar bag system means this game is just like WoW?
These are just small, superficial elements within the game. If you actually watched any of the videos, particularly the design panel, you will know this game is nothing like WoW and is a true successor to Diablo 2.
In the first 10 seconds of the game you see monsters crawling up walls from the darkness below to get to the barb. I personally think this is an awesome upgrade to the "can't see the monsters around me" effect. I mean, seriously... using the environment to hide monsters is way better than using a darkened screen.
If you don't like black and white atmosphere in previous games than why you even care about diablo 3?
Why don't you leave the true fans alone play WOW, i bet there are lot of bright colors and cartoons to please you in that game.
Since when was D1/2 black and white?
I still play D2 and I see lots of color. Bright red and blue fallen/carvers. bright red, orange, and yellow bugs. Bright glowing white, blue, and red souls. Colorful and bright paladin auras (salvation is even made of RAINBOW-SPARKLES!). Bright and colorful necro curses. Etc, etc.
Both of the "after" pictures posted in the original post will be achievable in game already.
The 20 minute D3 demo showcases the game with a "full screen glow effect". WoW players will be familiar that you can toggle it on and off in the video options. Blizzard will include the option to turn it off/on in Diablo 3 as well. Turning it off will remove the haze/glow on everything, making it less cartoony and more visceral. Slight adjustments to gamma will further darken the experience to the point of looking like those modified "after" pictures that were posted. If you really, REALLY hate the color that much, you can also lower the contrast.
All this petition does is display the laziness and selfishness of you guys. You want the game to fit your exact expectations out of the box, rather than take the time to adjust a few options to get what you want.
I would want to see the Butcher back (fresh meat!)
Yeah, the butcher would be awesome. That's still one of the few times in my gaming history where I actually jumped while playing. I remember opening that door, walking in thinking "whoa, check out this room" and seeing this guy charge at me while hearing "FRESH MEAT!" It was late at night so the house was quite and I was a little sleepy, yet completely absorbed int the game, so when it happened I wasn't expecting it and, while I can't use the word scared, it startled me, lol.
I had my assortment of barbs/zons/pallies, but the first time I made a necro it was all over. I could never put time into another class after that. I'm kind of bummed at the idea of no necro, because I LOVED my skeleton army. The witch doctor's mongrel don't look that appealing to me, even though they are more robust than skeletons in D2 were. It's all about aesthetics! hehe.
Anyways, as it stands right now I'll most likely be playing the witch doctor the most. Yeah, he won't be my necro, but the class itself looks pretty awesome and will play just like an evolved necro would, so I'm sure he'll be bad ass.
Wow, this is a stupid poll. In God of War, it took multiple attacks to kill nearly every enemy. In Diablo II, nearly every enemy was easily killed in one hit, if not two or three.
That's what I was going to say. No matter what difficulty I was playing, my necro could clear an entire room of monsters in 1-2 corpse explosions.

Each act will have one of the seven deadly sins incarnate as a sub-boss.
