[Official] Diablo III

You must of missed the 290 and 3-20-20 currency period :p. But yes I agree it would be good to see gold as the currency.

Edit: I wonder if D3 will have voice chat... that would be badass... If not me and my friends will just use Vent/Teamspeak

Yeah i must have, what was it???

[smurphy999999999]

They were saying that battle.net 2.0 will fix all that but we shall see. I am quite sure that they will include voice chat as well. That will probably be one of the new features of 2.0.

[SomeAzn]

I doubt they will ever be able to prevent hacks on the system.

Diablo II was supposed to be hack-proof because it used a closed system and all the information was stored on Blizzard's servers. That didn't stop hackers.

[Scirwode]

Yea every class with have both male and female.

Really? That's amazing, I had no idea. This means I can get to have a female Paladin, if the class is in that is :D . I do have one wish, if the Sorcerer/Sorceress is in, they had better do something about those magic damages as too many times I meet monsters who have magic immunity and I have to run around a lot to avoid them in DII.

At least you get to watch a bit of it, I didn't get to watch it all :p !

Oh man, it took quite a bit of effort to get the damn thing working. It was on and off before the gameplay vid, but luckily it stabilized by then and worked perfectly until it cut out soon after the first boss guy. That OctoShape software was off my computer within 2 seconds!

Mine was a connection problem, due to my very slow broadband :laugh: .

Thanks for that -w "hack". :laugh:

So it is supposed to be like this: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w"? Because it is not working for some reason.. Am I doing something wrong?

No. It's a command line argument, it goes outside the quotation marks. Like so:

"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w

I thought there was a hack to get the screen resolution up to 1280 x 1024?

Nope, that command is to get it working in windowed mode. And if I noticed this right, the colors are much darker this way. Maybe because of my drivers, who knows.

A little update: I have seen many sites reporting about petitions about the graphics of Diablo 3. No offense to anyone at Neowin, but when will they realize that game still has a long way to go. It is still pre-alpha, so what are they crying about. Blizzard is not going to let them down. And what is with this "Diablo is a single-player clone of WoW"? I mean just WTF?

Let Blizzard do their work, and in2009 or maybe 2010 you will have a 11/10 game, again. :)

[vanacid]

... No offense to anyone at Neowin, but when will they realize that game still has a long way to go. It is still pre-alpha, so what are they crying about ...

When will you realize that if nobody says anything about the current graphics, there is a possibility that billzard will keep a "Cartoony art" direction for the game instead of a much better "Realistic art" direction ?

Did you look at comparisons between "how it looks now" (from what we saw) and "how it should look".

"How it should look" are always much better IMHO.

Edit: I agree that this game will be a blast to play, but we don't want the same kind of art in Diablo III than in WoW. Just like Warcraft 2 didn't have the same kind of art than starcraft or diablo 2.

[TheSecretAzNMan]

One thing to throw in here:

I really hope melee is rebalanced.

It doesn't help that all melee characters except for whirlwinders could only attack a small number of targets at once, and deal only limited damage with weak weapons.

Compared to relatively inexpensive caster builds, this just seems even more unfair.

Excuse the text, but is this what Diablo 3 is looking like? (bottom screen)

If so, yeah I do agree it needs darkened down a bit.

I'm fine with both. Both look good, and both will do the job just fine. Both won't matter once you start playing.

I don't mind either one. Besides, Diablo is all about the loot.

[the mariner's revenge]

I think its hilarious how everyone is up in arms about the graphics. They have shown two different areas to the game and everyone expects it to all look the same. It could be that it is a gradual development to the story where an event turns the world into a dark and evil place again. Doesn't this takes place years after Diablo II?

Either way, if you guys dont petition, who will? Keep it up. Needs to be dark.

[paxa]

for what was released from blizzard, the game looks really good, while watching the preview i was in complete awe.

the graphics look good as it is, i think that there's no need for a change.

either is it released in 2009 or 2010, i don't care, i can wait.

this because the waiting will be worth it, and what was shown in the videos, it's quite advanced in it's development.

[Scirwode]

The one at the bottom looks like something from WOW to be honest, and I don't quite like it. The top one is much better as it is certainly darker, however that said I'm fine with both. I just prefer a much darker world in Diablo III.

Any decent GPU should be able to make custom adjustments to tone/colour...

[lalalawawawa]

WoW gayness. Probably the stupidest thing that I've read this week. It does not look like WoW, it looks more colorful. For me it is much more eye appealing than the modified picture.

My 0,02$.

[Xilo]

The new graphics do look too bright and colorful for a game like Diablo. I hate how WoW is heavily influencing it's graphics. Diablo should be dark and crude. You shouldn't be able to see everything coming at you. That was one thing that I liked about Diablo. You never knew what was going to come out to kill you.
