The ghostly shipyard artwork is amazing, (on my desktop now ;/) and it makes me hope we can go there in the game. I've always enjoyed an environment that can "harbor" suprises. But really, its a very good piece of artwork, puns aside lol.

They need to tone down the muscle mass on that Barbarian picture, it looks corny. It is just a conceptual art though, but the in game barbarian is still overly built to almost Gears of War levels. I hate that game like no other. The character designs in that game are so dorky. I don't get why developers feel they need to make character designs with the muscle mass that exceeds the size of today's Mr. Olympia. The barbarian they use in Diablo 3 also looks quite old (gray hair) but with a ripped body, either he is milking his steroids or the characterization is completely wack.

pretty sure that first pic is kurast docks... so most likely in the game and i think artwork is better than the screeenshots just for pure quality but for game developments sake go with screenshots.

i am wasted.

Well, the screenshots are nothing new (for the most part). However, the artwork doesn't disappoint.

Agreed, very detailed.

"So, the game is finally done. What do you guys think we should do now?"
"Dude, are you kidding? We're gonna play the friggin game!"
4 days later
"You think we should take a break?"
"What, I can't hear you. The awesomeness is too loud."
4 weeks later
"Hey man, I just realised people are getting a bit starved out of information right now. You want me to post a release date?"
"No man, I don't got time for releasing the game now, I'm having way too much fun playing it. Just post some crappy screenshots and old artwork on the site or something"

True story.

Failed story, more like it.
However, there is a misunderstood delay between information releases. Might imply on inconsistency in development, might not. The only thing that we could do is wait, and complain some more.

the shape of the building looks like griswold's smithy

the architecture is different, so i assumed they just reimagined it, but the shape fits with d1

capkosmaty

hmm, well maybe she renovated.

Yeah, now that I look at it, it does look more like Griswold's place.

I've officially given up on looking at any site on Diablo 3 updates.

Sad they can't give atleast updated enemy bio's or video clips.

talk about animation environment. I mean so much they can tell us yet they don't. Oh well i'll be back next christmas to see whats new.

Wow, that one building is the exact shape and style of Griswold's in Old Tristram, and it even has an anvil, which would make sense considering his job...

Edit:

Oh, nevermind, everyone else already got that.

it would be nice if they could show something new in the screenshots...

My thoughts about arts and screens.



I think it is Adria’s house, instead of Cain. Mouse, skull, eyes and other parts of a body in can indicate on it.

Concept with a fishing village is very strange. The lake, not a sea is surrounded by mountains. But we are also see parts of the big ship. The village is impounded. I can’t realize where on the map is that village.




It is obviously Griswold’s house. If we look closely, it is possible to notice a piece of a sign at the house standing nearby. And, of course, is an anvil. Probably, it’s an Anvil of Fury which brought by the unknown hero from the very depths of the Hell.

True story.

2 years from now, at Blizzard HQ...

"Last finishing touches on the final cinematic are done! The most photo-realistic cinematic we've made yet! So, did we finish everything?"
"Yep, I think so. I checked off everything on the list."
"Good, let's release!"
The next day...
"Oh, crap! We forgot to put in a male wizard!"

Fourth picture is my favorite.
