x3omega do you honestly thing that you'd be a half naked barb in leather for the whole game...really..blizzard wont dissapoint, that's over analyzing and jumping to conclusions to the max
we see a witch doctor wearing purple so that must mean they're wearing purple throughout the whole game :/
the interview was conducted with a recently employed member of the diablo 3 game, although kotaku is a pretty legitimate site, im not buying this whole new direction of just ditching the 3 prime evils, i mean is it supposed to be harder to kill lesser evils as compared to prime evils..especially how some of them are returning heroes apparently
to megazord that posted that starcraft 2 picture, how do you know that they're not already working on that? stop voicing a stupid opinion over a 20 min video, you're being biased, besides, just cause thousands signed a petition to change it, doesn't mean a few thousand likes it the way it is, the poll that medievaldragon started on the front page shows the community in half and half
getting the petition on g4tv is less of an opinion compared to diablofans.com which is linked on the diablo 3 mainsite
you can't compare a video game to something completely irrelevant which is based solely on your perspective that it looks cartoony, does diablo look anything like dragon ball z? no, i dont see someone throwing a spirit bomb or something
complaining that it's too cartoony is not gonna stop you from playing the game anyway so why argue this
I think it was a huge mistake to show off a part of the game without showing us anything that resembles Diablo. For all I can tell, the respect they have from the franchise comes from their wallets and not from the game itself. This is why we see more of a Warcraft feel and look than a Diablo feel and look.
Instead of showing us, say, different areas. They showcased the beginning of Act 1. The release announcement wasn't doing anything but showing the direction they want to take the game and confirm that Hydra was, in fact, D3.
This was a huge mistake, at least for the fans. Cool. Diablo 3. This is what has taken 8 years? Eh...
To make it even worse they have said that this is the third, or that they have gone through three, art design(s). I'm pretty confident that it was much darker, grittier, and true to Diablo than what we see now.
To expand even further, Rob talked about using certain colors to enhance the horror aspect of it (specifically oranges and blues). The problem, though, is that the colors he specifically talked about were EVERYWHERE. There is a shade of blue or orange in every screenshot and in every second of that video. That isn't enhancing, that is saturating.
Those oranges need to be rarer and need to be darker, earthier. The water, if it is going to be bright, needs to react to the blood of your enemies. Things like that are possible without using much, or any, CPU power. Stuff like that makes it Diablo.
The violence was, simply put, O.K. There wasn't much to say about it besides "Oh, a gib." The physics stuff is expected and really isn't anything special. The highlight of the video, in regards to violence, was when the dragonspawn-look-alike ripped that player in half. When it happened, the blood was minimal. No spray. It simply looked 'meh'.
IF the art does get more gothic and dark as you play then GREAT! Amazing! The problem is that they didn't show us it. They showed us a place that, from past games, WAS VERY DARK AND GOTHIC. In D3, that place is NOT DARK AND GOTHIC!
That's the problem. That's the problem entirely.
If the dungeon was dark, cruel, and terrifying then I doubt as many people would be upset about it. I know I wouldn't.
Inside of the Cathedral, a place we know VERY WELL FROM DIABLO 1, we saw a blue-green mask on all of the shadows, a bunch of cartoony shaped furniture and scenery, and a general theme of... well... Warcraft. This is an issue. This is not respecting the franchise. In fact, it is throwing what is known about the franchise out of the window and replacing it.
To recap:
1. We know what the cathedral looks like. We know, to a lesser extent, what King Leorics woods looks like (the area outside of the cathedral).
2. They stated that they are respecting the franchise.
3. What we saw did not look like what the cathedral looks like.
4. This is respect how?
did YOU create the diablo franchise? no
is diablo world of warcraft? no
why is it that you must complain, if you're so worried about it, dont play it, simple as that, you're just one of those guys joy killing what most of us have been waiting for, for years now
violence was simply okay? grab me a clip of a scene in diablo 1 or 2 where somone gets bitten in half
no?
exactly and the physics stuff wasn't expected, you can't say that it's not impressive on how they decide to implement all that
horror just isn't all black and white and grayness, if you were in central park and a zombie came out from under you, that still is considered horror, people are associating horror with color, not with emotion which is the road theyre attempting to take
adria as andariel.. well the spelling is similar lol, maybe, they need a human host to surpress their powers otherwise they gradually lose it in the mortal world
i love it how it is, it's completely difference and i know im gonna enjoy the variety of environments they have in store for us, only thing id say that needs to be changed is...nothing
I love it when people try to put real life physics into a fantasy game. You're an idiot, so the fuck what, who said meteors had to perform in a certain way?

you're obviously missing his point, he said that for people to READ the COMMENTS on the petition, not care about the petition itself..
