Can't wait for this game. Hope it's released within the year
[QUOTE=Chrille;29792642]I still hate the look of this game.[/QUOTE]
No kidding. It feels as though that old Warcraft III low poly cartoony art style has made it's presence in almost every Blizzard game now. I thought Diablo in general was supposed to be dark, evil and intimidating. The stuff that gives me nightmares when I was 8.
On the bright side though, I hear from my friend that there is a setting you can turn on to make it more evil looking and less childish.
And for anyone who is going to protest to this, don't you dare tell me that this:

Is supposed to look as dark or as scary as this:

Diablo 2 had music and monsters and the whole atmosphere and colors thing always scared me a bit back in the day.Diablo 3 looks like a normal RPG game but ill still try it since I am out of games
The graphics are "ok". I would much have preferred the dark style, but at least it's not World of Diablocraft like at the announcement (they definitely have made it darker). What I'm afraid of is the dumbing down.

Though the Templar in the video made me cringe, it's so fucking colourful and not Diablo.

Yeah that Templar was pretty bad. The sparse rocks also seem out of place too. If I saw [img]http://oi53.tinypic.com/330z6sx.jpg[/img] without context, I am almost certain that I would assume it is Warcraft related.
The combat effects look like something out of a JRPG, not really what I expected.
Those beems look like Magicka
Looks shitty, not what I hoped for, ever.
I want Diablo 3, not "Generic rpg 2011"
Stop complaining about graphics, they look fine, looking back at Diablo and Diablo II they were restricted to brown colours, now we actually get more diversity and of course hand painted goodness.

No, the graphics aren't fine, it still looks like world of warcraft, everybody just accepted that. And what does "hand painted goodness" matter when it's still cartoony as shit.
Make it like this:

And it will be all brown right?
While i do agree that i would like to see Diablo 3 darker ( Though i'm going to play it anyway because i'm not a bitch ) Both diablo 2 and that image chrille posted were horribly brown . Darker =/= Browner

You do know that it can be brown [i]and[/i] dark, right? Anyway, who gives a shit about brown, that picture still looks more realistic, and darker, than the current Diablo 3.

You're comparing dungeons to forests. Get a better comparison next time.

You guys will be godsmacked on how good this game will be. You're focusing on the bad stuff.
If most of you had seen blizzcon and what diablo 3 has to offer and if you'd actually think how good of a developer blizzard is. You'd see that diablo 3 will be one of the best games ever made.

Here I'll make a real comparison:

But you haven't played it.
Alright lets make one thing clear: Diablo has always been colourful (especially 2, with all those elemental novas and shit), but what rubs people the wrong way are the shapes that are exaggerated and cartoony.
Also no, the graphics are not fine at all, but considering what we got at announcement, it could have been a lot worse. What worries me is the staggering amount of stuff that has been removed for the sake of giving the player "more killing and less buying/selling/organizing", which sounds horribly bad and a lot like "players just want to press a button and see cool stuff happen on the screen" (and we all know how that went).
