[Official] Diablo III


Recommended Posts

diablo2 was great but i continue to prefer Diablo 1, for me the darker environments in pair with "darker" background music was what were great and i really missed in Diablo 2 (i confess that after a while i only could play Diablo2 having the Diablo 1 sound in the background)

has of Diablo 3 if they make the dungens Diablo 1 style (darker, scary, etc etc) i'm sold :D

for the ones that say that diablo 3 has poor graphics my post probably scared you for me preferring diablo 1, with that graphics you probably think i'm crazy but go play it, in the end like all of us "old guys" you will see it like you probably see today crysis :p

diablo 1 scared me but diablo 2 did not

my major concern is the hue saturation everywhere. why would a room, lit with candles, have a green hue'ish glow and no red or orange light anywhere?

When they first released the SC2 screenshots they got a huge backlash from the community about the cartoonish looks and reduced the color saturation, and it looks like they are going to get another one from the D2 community. hopefully they'll listen to the community like they did with SC2

this is a game about Diablo and deamons and hell. it should be dark, firey and bloody not random happy blue / green glowy walls everywhere

I think how the game looks in the gameplay video is great. I don't want it to be grainy like D2. I definitely don' t like the "how it should look" images

While I must say that the graphics are rather "nice" (appropriate,) some things are off.

Diablo 3 should be grittier. A bit more like the original Diablo than Diablo 2.

The gameplay looks a bit more gauntlet-ish now, just because of the "block!" that pops up everytime the barb hit the skeletons' shields, and those life-orb things.

I completely agree. The screens for D3 right now looks very...WoW-ish. The pick of how it looks and how it should look is perfect. The darker, grittier look is what Diablo is all about.

    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
