Diablo 3 announced

Rico said:
Guess what: Blizzard is a game developer. They make what they want, how they want it. Whether they cater to you or their own taste doesn't matter, if you don't like it don't buy it. I like the art style because it's not a dark mess like some of you seem to want. I like actually SEEING my high end graphics, not having them hidden by 90% shadows. You may disagree, and that's fine, but you are accomplishing nothing by reiterating that over and over in this thread.

But as sea said, it's not so much the colors so much as the texture of the environments they showed.

The stones in D1/2 actually look rough. If you drag your hand down them it'd actually feel bumpy, even on the flatter surfaces. D3's textures are way too smooth. I never thought I'd actually want someone to use a Photoshop noise filter.

Keyword textures. Not that many of us want "dark mess" or "90% shadows". We just don't want shitty comic/cartoon/warcraft texture work. Please read in future. You also write "I like seeing my high end graphics", which is funny, since I'm not seeing many visible normal/bump maps because all the textures are so cartoony that they probably don't have any (see here - http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/frame_lead.php?pid=930659&img=6).

Email Blizzard and send them your altered screenshots. Ultimately though, Blizzard has yet to disappoint me with ANY of their games. I trust them far more than any arm chair developers we may have on these boards, and if you cannot accept my personal opinion, then that's too bad, because it's not going anywhere.

Again, you can't seem to take anyone elses opinion. So quit being a hypocrite.

I've yet to see any argument whatsoever about why it wouldn't be better to have the style of D1/2 back, because, clearly, none of you have a coherent reason.
 
Holy shit stardog is right its indistinguishable from WoW Art.

Your arguments would be good, if the pictures people kept posting weren't just "OMG I USED PHOTOSHOP FILTERS" modifications.

Like I said, you can keep your opinion, quit beating a horse that doesn't exist. I never said I don't want you to post your opinion, I said QUIT POSTING IMAGES THAT TAKE UP HALF THE THREAD THAT LOOK THE SAME AS THE 500 OTHERS A GUY LIKE YOU POSTED WHO USED THE SAME DAMN FILTERS. WE GET IT, YOU HAVE PHOTOSHOP INSTALLED, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, WE DON'T CARE!

Capiche, "numbnuts"?

PS: Have any of you stopped to think, like a logical person, that the reason the textures aren't more detailed is so that it runs on more computers? You realize that there's going to be a bunch of mobs on screen most of the time, and FPS can take a hit. Add that to the fact that Blizzard tries to cater to wide ranges of hardware, not just high end machines.

what/who is that on the right? It looks so cool.
WoW in generally looks incredible. I'm not saying it fits diablo, but goddamn
wow looks amazing.
 
Im pretty sure it's warlock armor. I forgot from what dungeon though I quit a while ago.

Also, another point but Diablo has its share of gigantic shoulder pads, and rainbow shit:

Heh, that armor was ridiculed in WoW when it was introduced. I believe it's the tier 3 dungeon set for warlocks.

I loved the look of these armorsets in WoW:

Paladin Judgement armorset:

Warrior Might armorset:

Warlock tier 5:

Back from the days when MC and BWL were still the shit.

Troll-boy scours the net for the most far-removed comparison picture he can find and continues to have no point to make whatsoever. Someone ban this guy.

How do you think Blizzard make their textures? Photoshop numbnuts.

Now are you two going to say anything useful this time and actually make a point like adults, or continue to make me flame you both?
 
I posted pictures before that were pretty fair comparisons but you just started crying telling me to get unbiased pictures. Point being that you're ****ing blind. None of this looks like warcraft.

Shit I can't even tell the difference.
 
Edit: nevermind, this is ****ing retarded, you're ****ing retarded, just shut up seriously. All you're posts just translate too "WAAHHHH WAHHH"
 
Please explain to me how Stardog was ever a member of staff/mod and how he's not banned yet?
 
^ Ahaha

Well, this whole "I'm going to argue my point and make insults at you guize" is just getting really stupid. Grow up, children, you're talking about a video game. It's not like you're designing your house.

I'm pretty sure name-calling is immature. I find it pretty sad that you get so riled up over someone disagreeing with you on a forum, to the point where it is necessary for you to resort to things a 10 year old would do.

And the point of my post is that just applying your dumb photoshop filters isn't going to make the game look good. All the "modifications" people have posted look horrendous.

But by all means, go ahead and develop a AAA game to prove me wrong. You know all about game development, Mr. Arm-chair developer. You heard about shaders once, in some patch notes for your video drivers, so now you must feel like you know it all!

PS: Reworking all the art in a game is a serious effort that is unlikely to happen even if you and your friend next door whined to blizzard in person. But go ahead and waste your time, you obviously know little to nothing about any kind of software or game development.
 
oh my god, diablo 3 was announced! This is gonna be the greatest game ever.
 
So bullshit aside,

I hope we don't have to revisit the kurast jungle. **** Act 3. Kurast kinda drove me crazy due to the little running shitheels who fired pebbles at you
 
Little midgets scare me :(

Personally, I wouldn't mind such an open level...but I don't know, A3 just rubbed me wrong. The quests were all silly. "Go get that bird and give it to so and so and so and so." While looking for some book, then out of the blue, we have to find some guys eye, brain, flail and transmute it to magically destroy the orb protecting Meph.

That act could have been done in one quest \=

*EDIT* and A2 did the exact same thing with the whole 'find random things and transmute them for win!'
 
Undead Stygian Dolls were the worst part of D2.

I hated how they'd explode. They'd do no damage to me while they were alive and then two would explode next to me and I'd be dead.

I was fine when Act 2 did it, because it was the first time we had to do something like that.

What I hated about Act 2 was the sunwell quest. It seemed like an excuse to just make the game harder as you couldn't see shit.
 
Personally, giving those damned beetles in A2 default Lightning Enchant was a bad idea. That is just suicide :(

Psh, try playing a Summonmancer in the maggot lair with those things running around. Holy shit. "MOVE MOVE DAMNIT WOULD YOU ****ING MOVE"

I liked the part prior to the last quest before Meph. It was cool running around in that abandoned village while looking for the entrance to the last dungeon. Act 3 was kinda meh apart from that though.

That's what I am right now, actually, and that is about 90% of the conversation we were all having.

It was a webcam pic of Adrik_Senturu taken from his photobucket account. It was an impression of him in the post above.

You might want to read my signature. Two man mod team. And guess what part of the team I am... the art & design. Everything bar coding/player models. Website is down for a few days though.

I was never a member of staff or a mod. If I was there would be less spam and trolling, but I notice most of the staff actually like that nowadays. Then they create the "this place ain't what it used to be" thread once a year. Out of me, Rico and Adrik, I'm the only rational sane one.
 
Broham get over it. Stop crying. Seriously just give it a rest, you're just going to keep spewing the same "NO IM RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG" shit over and over.

Yeah, I stopped playing my Necro for a few days because of that ****ing lair holy shit
 
Eh, once you get through, the summonmancer keeps on getting better and better, thankfully.

PS, why don't you all stfu and quit arguing like little babies about a FREAKING VIDEO GAME.

Bunch of children, I swear.

You can't just throw your opinion in and not expect a reply. You don't decide when discussions end. That's not how forums work. If you truly didn't want a reply, then you'd zip it and not press any keys on your keyboard. On the other hand I'm quite happy to discuss this for years, so I'll reply to anyone who quotes me. Drop it now if you want.

It isnt a discussion when 90% of your posts boil down to "nope im rite ur wrong it looks like warcraft".
 
I bet the guys in Blizzard are like 'Jesus Christ, it's not like we're releasing it tomorrow, what the shit?'
All they really have to do is put a grainy filter over everything and it'll look fine.

And yours don't? Hello mirror.

We give good reasons for wanting realistic textures, but you haven't given any for the warcraft textures we have right now. Look back through your posts and try and find something that isn't flame-bait.

We say we want more gritty/realistic textures and you reply with "you ****'s want it all dark emo n shit lolzz whatttt, i dun want it pitch blackz kk??".
 
I posted several comparison (Although Ill admit the warlock armor and barbarian comparison was me being a jackass) but the other ones weren't biased at all and you just replied with "nope, looks like warcraft"
