I open this thread up because i grew up with blizzard games and to tell the truth from warcraft 3 to starcraft 2 all of their releases {mod edit} im very dissapointed by them cause they were my beloved devs.
{mod edit} seeing these kind of games from blizzard just make me wanna go vomiting
Everyone is waiting for Diablo 3 and from what i've seen so far diablo 3 looks cartoon just like wow just like starcraft 2.
I dont like Horror cartoons.I like horror for Horror.
I can say that these games and blizzard as a company have lost their dark art style they had.
Below there is a game to be released in 2011 and some say it will be the rival of diablo 3.
So give it a shot and remember

Now that game looks good and the graphics are nice but blizz doesnt make games that detailed because they want to stick to pc and in order to get the most out of their consumers that cant go around thinking everyone has a gaming rig. I mean lets face it with the console boom only a small hadfull of gamers have gaming rigs nowadays that they built. Blizzard looks at their games from a stand point of hey this game can look great and only run smoothly on a 1200$ machine or we can lower the graphics give it a cartoonish polish and it can run on machines ranging from 400$ to 2000$. And if you think about it they have always been cartoonish D1 D2 SC and all the warcrafts were very cartoony as Warcraft and starcraft were spoofs of WAR and WAR40K.
Look how WoW looks. Look how many people are playing it. Blizzard is only doing the right choices with their graphical design. {mod edit}
Yeah but Diablo 1 and 2 were more dark styled.
well, apparently you have no idea about blizzards past. Their first games like the lost vikings and warcraft 1 & 2 were all cartoonish. The only games that had your so called dark art style where diablo 1 and 2. The main charms of the Diablo games are the loot system and the skill/combat systems, not the graphics. As long as those two aspects are perfect in d3 i dont care about the artstyle and neither should any REAL Diablo fan.
That was a fun post. I laughed.
Have you watched any of the gameplay Vids for D3 It actually looks darker than those 2 on top of that the characters in D1 and D2 were like cardboard cut outs.
WOW is rated Teen. Actually, it would be rated Everyone IMO. Diablo is M and always has been. That said, it's apples and oranges. Diablo should be dark, evil, hellish, with blood squirting everywhere... NOT Warcraft with an occasional tame fatality. God of War replaces my need for Diablo.

Seems like only a few of us have open eyes..
It doesn't look like warcraft at all.
Do you even know what you're talking about?
Open Eyes? If anything you have the closed eyes. Its a very closed mind that wont give something a chance because of how it looks. Took go out and say something that hasnt even been giving a relese date is going to be bad because its graphics arnt dark is very very closed minded.
and by saying it isnt going to be dark is dead wrong i mean there is a skill that spawns rotating blades like a blender and shreds anything that gets near it to bloody gory pieces.
OP you should really play D1/2 before commenting on D3, go play the lava dungeons and then comment on D3 graphics.
D3 looks great - door that way OP.
Blizzard's games will always have graphics so poor to make shure they run on a 25 year old calculator watch.
If not, they could possibly miss a customer and Kotick may get very angry about that.
Oh wait...there comes the "gameplay>graphics!!!11" crowd! Hmm..guess i'm lucky that POE and Torchlight 2 offer about the same gameplay as D3 does, but with rather uptodate graphics. So sorry Bobby, this time no 8bit colors Blizzard game with beyond blurry 256x256 textures stretched to the max for me.
Problem with realism is that, after a while, things become incredibly bland and generic.
Team Fortress 2 came across this problem when they were in development. The original TF2 had army-looking models. Almost everyone dressed in green camo gear. You couldn't really tell people apart.
That game, while well done, ends up getting bland after a while. They cycle through different characters in the trailer you linked, I believe, and the playable characters all look identical. The zombies all look identical. The world has a very grim coloring, which isn't bad, but after a while, it becomes mundane.
This is partly why most games nowadays have highly stylized characters and enemies. It gives developers more room to play and be creative.
Hellgate London went for grim, dark, and realistic, and even after having played it a month ago, I find the enemies forgettable.
{mod edit} that aside the game looks great so far and my wife who is a hudge fan cant wait!
Honestly i think D3 graphics are better, but you are right they are clearly wow-ish and they shouldn't, its not like diablo needed some influence to show up in their garphics, it make no sense, especially wow like in a dark theme, it seam such a poor decision.
Not everyone spends thousands on their computer setup.
Took me a while to get past the phase of hooking up speedy cars. I can't see myself "tricking out" my computer

if diablo 3 doesnt come out before guild wars 2.... im not playing it. Blizzard is going downhill.
Diablo 3 is being made so the WoW fanbse plays it too.
I agree i use to be a d2/d2lod player and this is how is should look like but what i have seen from d3 dosent look half as good as path of exile i registerd for beta a while ago hope path of exile turns out great!!
Okay, I had not heard about this game, but it looks amazing. I will definitely be picking it up. Thanks Zefire.
And yes, this is what Diablo 3 should look like.

WTF? No subscription fee?
It's hard for Blizzard to keep dark art design. Otherwise they will only get some real players. For example, Diablo 1 is darker than Diablo 2, but have less players. WoW is more brighter, so it's the most successful.
all of you will play the game. why? cause even your parents and grandparents will play. its friggin diablo!
Ain't gonna happen, This its done when its is cool and all, but this is taking way too long to release.
