Im just wondering.. how come that the diablo fan concept is the same picture as the screen shot just with some effects on it .. I guessing that someone took the screenshot made some effect on it from Photoshop .. OR on one picture the fog of war is active and its inactive in the other.
Diablo 3 will fail if it follows the wow path.. I mean a bright colorful atmosphere in a game that has the devil.. and is actually named after the devil?
Come on blizzard get your sh!t together
This is why indie games are rocking nowadays because independent developers are the only ones with balls, common sense and logic.
the problem isn't really the darkness of the environment, although it should be darker. The problem is the cartoonish/ ugly WoWish character models, and how gay all the new spells look. in Diablo 2 the spells and skills weren't so flamoyant and flashy and gay, they were toned down and looked awesome. And WTF is wrong with the appearance of items in the inventory!??? they look like 8-bit shit! inventories in diablo 2 looked better!!!!
The problem with Diablo 3 is that it took them so long to come out with it - well its now dated....the graphics engine is crap for nowaday's standards. I'll look to borderlands 2 coming out this year to solve my loot grinding urges...Blizzard have you really not given a release date yet?!!!! It doesn't take 20 years to develop and balance a game. I have lost interest and will be ignoring blizzard games for now...too much hype and not enough results.
There is NO WAY they will change anything. It is very naive of people who sign the petition to think otherwise. You need to understand that it has been 15 years since Diablo first came out and demographics of players change drastically. They don´t care they will piss off me or you or other "few thousands" of players in exchange of millions.
In my opinion I have no doubt that the game will be a hit as both diablo 1 and diablo 2 were both fantastic games however im am extremely dissapointed with certain aspects of the game. Mainly the enviroment. Diablo 1 had a very gloomy and evil prescense to it same with Diablo 2. Which kind of was like a trademark which they removed from 3. I feel like the game is very childish by looking at the graphics its like disney with blood. Also the characters dont look realistic which seemed to be the a
Its just like the trash talks of WOW before it came out when Blizzard said they will charge monthly.
If your too emo and haters to play a game that is overwhelmingly likely to be awesome just because its "popular", like so many people do today, go play Tourchlight, which is the game the people that made Diablo 1-2 have made, and see how much its LESS dark, MORE cartoonish and UNBEARABLY generic and boring compared to Diablo 3.
fucking Lower the Gamma on your screen! and no, Diablo 3 doesn't seem less dark then Diablo 2's act 2 and most of act 1.
Most of you are probably too young to remember Diablo 2 anyway!!
Blizzard have NEVER released a game or expansion that were not a hit and were not excessively invested in and that took years to develop. Diablo 3 included.
wow, adding the fan concept makes it look a creepy and dull. I feel grave with despair when looking at the fan concept. It's an awesome feeling, like I could feel the terror of those skeletons about to rip me apart. I could just imagine a skeleton lurking in the shadows... but the downside is the lack of color emphasis on the player.
Original looks like visually appealing candy color. There's no way I'd be freaked by the colorful rainbows and unicorns. It feels more fantasy-like than horror.
I've got a link to a fan-fricking-tastic site that explains quickly why and how Diablo 3 looks like W.O.W. At this point, it would be an uneducated and downright foolish statement to make if you were to say that Diablo 3 doesn't look like W.O.W. Please I beg you, email me and I'll send you the link, since Youtube won't allow links. The dude that made the article put up pictures as well to prove his point.
Great use of Nostradamus tracks, they actually fit this game perfectly.
And I like the renewed look, much more akin to Diablo 1 and 2 without sacrificing good graphics. I hope somebody makes a mod for the game to look like this, or Blizzard provides complex color option sliders to change the appearance how you like.
@Blashyrkh22 You wont be able to play Diablo 3 without being connected to the internet ( even if your playing single player). With that said, i'm not quite sure how they would but im sure if Blizzard said no mods they will find a way to ensure no mods
@Blashyrkh22 Blizzard stated that the game had to always be connected to the internet even in single player. I believe its their way to prevent hackers/dupers/character editors and such. I guess time will tell though
If you look lastest Screens from Diablo3 you can see they have change the Colors!! Its more darker now sence before.. Look on the brigde from 2008 till now you will see the change
I believe what most of you fail to notice is that they took out the gorey gruesome scenery, in diablo 2 there were corpses torn in half on torcher devices in dark sewer rooms n chained souls screaming n reaching for help, i think they lowered the age lvl from TEEN to Ages 8 And Up...
I really hope they take the fan concept on board, I like how they retained the sounds and style of items popping from chests and such, I don't remember there being corpses in diablo 3 so far> We'll see
isnt it funny how as soon as i look at the darker images the legacy of DIABLO jumps straight out at me...but when it's lighter it feels like a crappy replay of Dungeon Siege...:C
Yeah listen up Blizzard! If you care at all about keeping a fanbase around this series, you will appeal to our plea. Diablo is a DARK fantasy. Instead, you decide to use a lighting scheme strangely reminiscent of that homosexual Fable game. Be forewarned, you are about to destroy the Diablo franchise.
I have to say, the fan concept lighting looks a hell of a lot better and much more like the way Diablo 1 and 2 looked. Diablo 3 as it is just doesn't have that dark atmosphere.
I find the fan concept a bit more interesting, its a lot erriee, more gritty compared to Blizzard's direction. Diablo was seperate from WoW because its more based on religious taboos of heaven and hell, not a fantasy. When you add fantasy into the game, it sucks the identity out of the genre.
Of Course, Diablo is in some ways a fantasy, but Its more darker, and less about adventures.
uuhhh??? this crap is not becouse a 3d world ..do u need put a rainbow just becouse its 3d? what are u talking about (planet diablo comment)? this look like WOW. 100% cartoonish. lets face it.
i believe it should be darker. it should be so dark you cant see outside of the light radius at all - which makes the game unpredictable. my ideal diablo 3, in the first time you play the game youll remember because youll have no idea what comes next. seems like with this diablo everything can be predicted. just my 2 cents
This is the basis in witch blizzard should had based their work on the first place, a more obscure, realistic, darker world with macabre scenarios. Great work !!
@DSTDave But that's how Diablo is supposed to be! You're supposed to feel overwhelmed; a grim sense of hopelessness, and that's what the gothic art does. People just don't know how to appreciate the old art style these days :(.
Personally, I like the fan concepts better. However, my main gripe is not with the graphics of the environment, but rather, the PLAYER SKILLS. They just look... overdone. Like, the shockwave, for example. It just looks like too much. I want my barbarian to feel powerful, but not Dragonball Z powerful. Back in Diablo 2 I was perfectly content using double swing on my enemies without any of the super special effects and explosions. I like the way lightning looks on weapons though.
Either way they make it colorful or not im probably still gonna end up buying it, but I know that it defiantly wont feel like the original diablo1/2. Theres too many things that are taken straight out of Warcraft, WoW kinda screwed up all the franchises.
@D4rQW4v3 Or maybe you've only played Diablo once or twice and have no idea how to appreciate its dark atmosphere and grim premise. Seriously, it's not about being emo.
I prefer the gothic art, but art isn't everything. As long as I can choose to play hardcore i'm satisfied. Nothing beats the feeling you get when you exit a game and have 1-100 hp left. The adrenaline! priceless!
fun concept is much nicer ..i also think that there should be monsters that are more creepy than ugly....dunno mb more satanic like goats from d2.... more pentagrams ...it makes a game more atmosphearic
I say you can leave the outdoor areas as they are. Because even though I like the dark style, it's not really logical when you think about it for it to be ALWAYS foggy and dark outside... as for dungeons I definately like the dark version better. They way it is now the concrete and stone looks blueish-green...so yeah... renewed art direction = good for inside, bad for ouside
Their main aim now is WoW Cataclysm. Even if they are more or less done with Diablo 3 they will surely wait for their main source of income (WoW) before they release this masterpiece.
@Mauser91: Hey tough guy, it's not about contrast and being able to see what's happening.. And stop using "nigger" as insult. Grow up. I for one doesn't care which graphic style they choose in the end and Torchlight (2009) proves colorful style works pretty well too.
All We want is for DIABLO and W.O.W to be 2 distinctly separate worlds. I agree you can turn down the gamma but there is more to this issue than just the contrast of the game. The modeling of the characters have started to take on the "WOW Look" as well. The Diablo Dev's should remember to keep Diablo Dark and more realistic looking rather than the Bright colorful over exaggerated look of WOW. Dont get me wrong I am playing WOW while waiting for D3, Its not a bad game.
This video is retarded and the idea for the petition is retarded...TURN DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS ON YOUR MONITOR IF YOU WANT IT DARKER....i trust blizzard to make a game this whole petition thing is gay as hell
and why dont you GRAB YOUR CLOURS AND START PAITING BUTTERFLIES ON YOUR SCREEN AND FILL YOUR ROOM WITH RAINBOWS AND GARDENS!!!! if that what turns u on then you're definetly you're the one who's gay as hell
have you considered this gayplace is act 1 like a tutorial? you cant expect the whole story to develop if right from the begining this thing is already blood bath! it rested for like 20 yrs duh! if you dumdums read the forum, you will notice that the environment is a plot key!
1st its somekind of sanctuary(hence the name)then slowly as the story goes on the world wil be a slaughter machine. in short blizzard doesnt want to spoil by showing the dark(fun) parts cos its near the end!! idiots!!!!
a letdown is that there aint a necromancer ,i like the barbarian and the mage but the other 2 ....no comment,they better add a paladin for the 5th character ,i had couple of lv 99 palas and will miss them :'(
hey idiot! ever thought the witch doctor is a "necro druid hybrid"? themonk is an asian paladin with assassin weapons the fifth is obviously a ranged attacker
@Tadddius: Well, I personally wouldn't call it "junk". I can't say I fully agree with colorful WoW art style, but i'm most definetily going to buy Diablo III as long as it plays like true Diablo game. Have you played Torchlight yet? Torchlight had true Diablo atmosphere and still used colorful visual style, even more cartoonish than Diablo III, and still kicked butt like no tomorrow. I honestly can't wait Diablo III.
@Mii85 I played torchlight, and yes it did have a lot of the same aspects but it didnt play like the original diablo. It was more like a watered down form even though it was an indie.
Yeah.. Blizzard dont maek bad games. They dont make mediocre games. Blizzard only ever make masterpieces. Only masterpieces. They even said this was running on 2005 technology, all kinds of changes will be made. I must say though, the concept art looks just right though. Bang on job. People who know a bit about art seem to have a good idea how this game would ideally look. Unless we saw an alpha of what they had planned we will never really know. Like you say though... Its gonna rock!
@Tadddius A true fan would play and enjoy the game for the sake of the gameplay and not bitch and whine cause it looks a little fucking different. The game still looks amazing. I do realize that the art sort of looks like WOW but who fucking cares it still looks amazing. Fanboys need to grow the fuck up, stop bitching and whining cause the games not done how they want you. We don't see you spending 9-10 years making the fucking game so just shut the fuck up.
@Tadddius It's good to see that blizzard is going with brighter and more variety in the maps in the game and not the same old dark and grungy looking maps like D2. People don't want the same exact look all the time. Variety is better than nothing and if you can't appreciate what Blizzard is doing then you can't call yourself a Diablo fan. True Diablo fans know that the graphics aren't important at all. Its all about the gameplay. Quit bitching like a little school girl.
Boo. Dammit, Blizzard, why did you make it so freaking Dark and Brown!? This is Diablo, not Gears of War! Gears of War is for tools! Not even an RPG! Go back to the more gothic look of D2 where you could actually see stuff!
the original diablo looked like it did because Bill Roper, the creator, envisioned a dark and creepy fantasy world, and went and made it the way he wanted. Bill Roper has said himself he is not pleased with diablo 3s art style(nor are we fans), and he also said it does not look like the world he created. everything a diablo fan will have memories of from the first 2 games is being stripped away. including light radius, potions, realistic characters, armour, and weaponry, and the inv screen
@stin842 i agree with you completely, what seperated diablo from warcraft was its sense of realism (as far as a fantasy game went anyway), l When i bought D2 back in 5th grade, i remember i was too scared to play it for a while, and i liked that, we like the ominous themes, the muddy/shaddy YET realistic dungeons, part of the appeal was the creepiness of not be able to see and having things startle you, now we have radiant colors, over exagerated shoulders, and a WoW feel. Diablo isnt Warcraft!
Otherwise, I like all the fan concepts better than their originals! I signed the petition for if I didn't like the "renewed" artistic direction. There's my 2 cents.
I like the concept of light radius. I could only imagine how creepy (and awesome) it would be in Diablo 3 to run around in colorful darkness... movements in the shadows! I also like all the lighting effects. It adds contrast to the darkness thus enhancing. I would like it if the colors are somewhat kept in the lighting effects. I think the outdoors should stay on the bright and colorful side. The only outdoor concept I find that has been changed a lil too darkly contrasted is the bridge @ 0:53 .
The worst case scenario would be that i would have to decrease the gamma and raise the contrast in the options menu... that-s really the only thing you-ve done to your pics 2 ;) but i have agree with you, its waaay 2 colorful and the design team had just came by from wow. those big shoulderplates reall remind me of wow.
They said that the scene is from the beginning, when the world is still peacful. As you continue, the world gets darker and darker. And as for the stupid light ring, it was only needed for a portion of diablo 2, and they said they are going to try to work it in to one of the dungueons if they can make it look good.
the problem with newer games is that they are all slaves of technology advancements, i.e. if a good programmer discovers how to make flickering lights in 3D, then it seems the director is -obliged- to use them somehow in the game, even if it has nothing to do with it. Developers should care more about the feel and concept of the game, even if they leave out some new shiny stuff.
I think that you are right: diablo should look like diablo not wow. I play wow and like it more than diablo seies, but as a former diablo 2 player I was really upset watching the wowis paladin images out of diablo 3... that's really a shame! when I saw the fan concept I suddenly felt again the real spirit of diablo! hope blizzard will understand that...
dude you suck, if you dont like the brightness, just turn down the gamma or saturation, im sure you can do that if you look at the options... just fucking wait for the game to get finished ffs
There is a good reason by you labled the alternative "fan concepts"- it was done by a fan....and it looks a lot worse
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a more "noire/ gothic" look, but from a gameplay point of view all it did was kill the player's ability to see stuff, and art wise u killed the values and deadened the color to the point that it almost looks like a black and white flick. even diablo 2 and 1 had rich colors in them
I initially welcomed the new art direction with indifference, but seeing those fan-altered images reminded me of the powerful presentation of Diablo's past. I didn't realize it at first, but the official D3 pictures don't invoke nearly the same emotion and atmosphere for me as D1 and D2. The atmosphere that past Diablo games created was an essential part of hooking me to the series, which the fan-altered shots recreates.
But as you said, we're all going to play it no matter what, and like it.
i think this was complete rubbish.. people should remember that we live in the year of 2009 and not 1999.. The technics is movin forward guys and u gotta stop living in the past. I'd say the graphs in D3 is brilliant and 2nd that i think Diablo isn't so much about the graphs for me, it's more important to me with a good followup story and a good lore :) couse i have always looved the story of diablo and hes brothers and can't w8 to find what going to happen next :D
I dont care about people workin their ass off for this game... Let´s face it, their are making the game bicouse of $. They are not making the game because of you and me. I am hoping their are working their asses so much that thei can´t sleep!!! This game must be done right! Bicouse i am giving my hard working $ for it! ;) And i am the buyer here...
i agree with making dungeons and caves darker, but outside could look the way they did it in the trailer, gives you a interesting feeling to get off a dark cave and see light everywhere. but i like the actual graphics anyway :D
i agree with the light radius in the dungeons, but i don't think you should do it outside unless its night or raining. maybe the night dosen't last forever in Sanctuary(world of diablo) you know?
If everything is dark it all has the same feeling. Blizzard said they are making dark caves and such to explore, but wanted every environment to have it's own feel to it.
If you like it darker you could always wear sunglasses when you play.
definately leaning towards the fan made renders by bounds. i get some serious omnious feeling just from the photos that im seeing rendered darker.
if the game becomes darker naturally during the game's progression, its true that it would make some things hard to see. yet, i believe that to cause more of a challenge, and i love challenges >:).
I must say the modified screens are very cool. But I have faith in Blizzard. Also to me it looks at least decent the way it is. A darker design might have hidden many nice eyecandy effects and such. In any way : Gameplay Provails ... So lets hope they nail that part.
Well, i think the altered screen shots looks more awesome, but i've read alot about this and jay wilson says that everything will get worse as you progress in the game, so maybe everything will darken, and maybe there will be mutilated corpses everywhere.
However, i don't like the overall childish design of it.
even though the current pics and videos that blizzard have showed are not the usual creepy greyish tones of diablo we still havent seen the big picture
maybe hell will be a really Nigtmarish place worthy of dooming our dreams ( if we go to hell xD) like i said we havent seen the big picture and so far blizzard have not dissapointed me with the diablo series so lets see =D
yeah, good luck actually implementing those photoshops into the game. some of the pictures are simply impossible to produce in full motion on mid range computers.
honestly, i don't see what all the controversy is. the game looks fine
A lot of the changed graphical styles that you've put in here are amazingly brilliant and beautiful compared to the way Blizzard is changing it... my favorite is 0:54, how it highlights the rain, makes it feel very gritty and intense, really sucks you in.
But as we all know, Blizzard has changed from a company that produces decent games into a company that only wants to make money money money, they don't give a damn about their fan base, they do what they do, because we'll buy it anyway :(
if people want it to be that dark, just adjust your screen so its that way. i perfer it the way bliz made it. making it dark blocks out all the good details
If this were a 3rd person game with camera behind rather then overhead that art form would work. Right now with the gameplay experience being what it is I feel the tones are necessary, besides they've darkened it up somewhat I believe after seeing recent screenshots. Besides I think there is a more important issue to discuss like BRING BACK THE NECRO (J/king)
And Mii85, before I jump to conclusions did you type the bit from "DIABLO UNIVERSE IS MADE OF:" and below or did you copy/paste from the petition site?
The way Diablo III is now seems perfect, keep in mind that Baal, Diablo and the Lesser Evils have been gone for a while. Leaving the world to regenerate, maybe later in the game (when a new evil presents itself) the worlds darkens again.
It shouldn't matter to being with, fans should be estatic that Blizzard decided to make it into a trilogy. Instead of complaining of the looks, they should be fucking partying.
While some of the new color correction seem realistic and neat, it doesn't make the game very playable. Half of the stuff is too dark to see.
And I'm more focused on "Will my computer run it REASONABLY" than if it looks dark, creepy, and realistic. I vote keep it the way blizz made it. They know what they're doing, they always have, and (hopefully) always will.
"Dawn of Creation" (intro for Prophecy) and opening seconds of "Prophecy" by Judas Priest. You can find both songs from their newest album, Nostradamus.
it is just me or can these "fans" be satisfied just by turning down the gamma when they get the game? cuz if you want the game darker just turn the gamma down dudes, well gee that was easy lol
you want dark? D2 wasnt dark at all it had much more brightness in it than the first Diablo and i dont see anyone complaining about D2. I truely hope that these people dont play D3.
I have 3 main problems with Diablo 3.
1. Color scheme is just like W.O.W.
2. The environment is way to rounded. It doesn't look edgy at all. Way to clean.
3. Not being able to play offline, is very, very stupid.

Yeah listen up Blizzard! If you care at all about keeping a fanbase around this series, you will appeal to our plea. Diablo is a DARK fantasy. Instead, you decide to use a lighting scheme strangely reminiscent of that homosexual Fable game. Be forewarned, you are about to destroy the Diablo franchise.

I have to say, the fan concept lighting looks a hell of a lot better and much more like the way Diablo 1 and 2 looked. Diablo 3 as it is just doesn't have that dark atmosphere.

I find the fan concept a bit more interesting, its a lot erriee, more gritty compared to Blizzard's direction. Diablo was seperate from WoW because its more based on religious taboos of heaven and hell, not a fantasy. When you add fantasy into the game, it sucks the identity out of the genre.
Of Course, Diablo is in some ways a fantasy, but Its more darker, and less about adventures.

i believe it should be darker. it should be so dark you cant see outside of the light radius at all - which makes the game unpredictable. my ideal diablo 3, in the first time you play the game youll remember because youll have no idea what comes next. seems like with this diablo everything can be predicted. just my 2 cents

@DSTDave But that's how Diablo is supposed to be! You're supposed to feel overwhelmed; a grim sense of hopelessness, and that's what the gothic art does. People just don't know how to appreciate the old art style these days :(.
lCheatAtGolf 1 year ago 2
Personally, I like the fan concepts better. However, my main gripe is not with the graphics of the environment, but rather, the PLAYER SKILLS. They just look... overdone. Like, the shockwave, for example. It just looks like too much. I want my barbarian to feel powerful, but not Dragonball Z powerful. Back in Diablo 2 I was perfectly content using double swing on my enemies without any of the super special effects and explosions. I like the way lightning looks on weapons though.
lCheatAtGolf 1 year ago
Either way they make it colorful or not im probably still gonna end up buying it, but I know that it defiantly wont feel like the original diablo1/2. Theres too many things that are taken straight out of Warcraft, WoW kinda screwed up all the franchises.

All We want is for DIABLO and W.O.W to be 2 distinctly separate worlds. I agree you can turn down the gamma but there is more to this issue than just the contrast of the game. The modeling of the characters have started to take on the "WOW Look" as well. The Diablo Dev's should remember to keep Diablo Dark and more realistic looking rather than the Bright colorful over exaggerated look of WOW. Dont get me wrong I am playing WOW while waiting for D3, Its not a bad game.

DeadlySinnerx666x 1 year ago
@Tadddius It's good to see that blizzard is going with brighter and more variety in the maps in the game and not the same old dark and grungy looking maps like D2. People don't want the same exact look all the time. Variety is better than nothing and if you can't appreciate what Blizzard is doing then you can't call yourself a Diablo fan. True Diablo fans know that the graphics aren't important at all. Its all about the gameplay. Quit bitching like a little school girl.

the original diablo looked like it did because Bill Roper, the creator, envisioned a dark and creepy fantasy world, and went and made it the way he wanted. Bill Roper has said himself he is not pleased with diablo 3s art style(nor are we fans), and he also said it does not look like the world he created. everything a diablo fan will have memories of from the first 2 games is being stripped away. including light radius, potions, realistic characters, armour, and weaponry, and the inv screen

stin842 2 years ago 40
@stin842 i agree with you completely, what seperated diablo from warcraft was its sense of realism (as far as a fantasy game went anyway), l When i bought D2 back in 5th grade, i remember i was too scared to play it for a while, and i liked that, we like the ominous themes, the muddy/shaddy YET realistic dungeons, part of the appeal was the creepiness of not be able to see and having things startle you, now we have radiant colors, over exagerated shoulders, and a WoW feel. Diablo isnt Warcraft!

wowhatheck 2 years ago
I like the concept of light radius. I could only imagine how creepy (and awesome) it would be in Diablo 3 to run around in colorful darkness... movements in the shadows! I also like all the lighting effects. It adds contrast to the darkness thus enhancing. I would like it if the colors are somewhat kept in the lighting effects. I think the outdoors should stay on the bright and colorful side. The only outdoor concept I find that has been changed a lil too darkly contrasted is the bridge @ 0:53 .

The worst case scenario would be that i would have to decrease the gamma and raise the contrast in the options menu... that-s really the only thing you-ve done to your pics 2 ;) but i have agree with you, its waaay 2 colorful and the design team had just came by from wow. those big shoulderplates reall remind me of wow.

I read an article about this,
They said that the scene is from the beginning, when the world is still peacful. As you continue, the world gets darker and darker. And as for the stupid light ring, it was only needed for a portion of diablo 2, and they said they are going to try to work it in to one of the dungueons if they can make it look good.
Happy?
theknack101 2 years ago
the problem with newer games is that they are all slaves of technology advancements, i.e. if a good programmer discovers how to make flickering lights in 3D, then it seems the director is -obliged- to use them somehow in the game, even if it has nothing to do with it. Developers should care more about the feel and concept of the game, even if they leave out some new shiny stuff.

I initially welcomed the new art direction with indifference, but seeing those fan-altered images reminded me of the powerful presentation of Diablo's past. I didn't realize it at first, but the official D3 pictures don't invoke nearly the same emotion and atmosphere for me as D1 and D2. The atmosphere that past Diablo games created was an essential part of hooking me to the series, which the fan-altered shots recreates.
But as you said, we're all going to play it no matter what, and like it.

The way Diablo III is now seems perfect, keep in mind that Baal, Diablo and the Lesser Evils have been gone for a while. Leaving the world to regenerate, maybe later in the game (when a new evil presents itself) the worlds darkens again.
