[QUOTE=ThePutty;17630150]They said they weren't changing the art style, so that kinda means as far as placeholder goes, it won't be terribly different.[/QUOTE]
Except they'll have much more detail, and a new engine.
you're wrong OP kill yourself

What?

Yes, how DARE I care about what the game looks like.
Doesn't matter what the OP wants.
Blizzard is doing whatever the fuck they want to do and you voicing your opinion isn't going to change a damn thing.
I have no issues with the art style of any of their games.
If they're fun to play, have the same great music as the other games, and the same great voice work as the others then I'll be perfectly happy.
[QUOTE=Tillghast;17652252]What?

take out all of the sarcasm in that sentence and you hit it dead on. go out and play or downtown, honestly bitching about artstyle is just pathetic, i reckognize that they have dumped the gothic dark style for abit more color. but is that worth bitching about?
(do you want to be as sad as Jack Thompson? cuz his life is built on bawwing and nitpicking and then publicising it just as you did... was this thread made to start a war?)
Yeah, because the game's atmosphere isn't relevant.
[QUOTE=thisispain;17652203]the fact you actually tried to use the word newfag completelys discounts your argument and orders you to wear a long pointy hat with the name dunce on it[/QUOTE]
wow thisispain you actually made a good post good job
The game's atmosphere made it what it is.
[QUOTE=KigJow;17655350]The game's atmosphere made it what it is.[/QUOTE]
And new cartoony art style doesn't seem to catch up with the atmosphere.
[QUOTE=johngrimm;17650812]Yes because Company of Heroes' amazing graphics and ability to take close up screenshots that would make most people think they were looking at an FPS totally doesn't work for an RTS and ruins the whole game.[/quote]
For the most part you are correct. Company of Heroes isn't a large scale battle RTS like SC II which supports massive fights while maintaining a steady fps. You almost always hit the pop cap when playing games that last over 15 minutes in CoH. You can build a total of 5-6 buildings per game, it really doesn't support base building that much at all, its a very passive part of the strategy with little actual effect on your success where as SC II a strong foundation for your base and a good location of a building is almost as important as your main army.
I don't play RTS games so I can take screen shots and show it to my friends in an attempt to impress them, I play RTS to be awed while playing the game. Oh and by the way, although you may not be able to take super high quality up close shots, the battle shots in SC II will be far more colorful and engaging than any Company of Heroes screen shot.
[QUOTE=johngrimm;17650812]When the random passerby can't tell the difference between their three franchises they have a problem of art design. Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft are three very starkly different worlds with three very different atmospheres and art direction. Converging the three is utterly bland and takes the life out of three really great franchises.[/quote]
Interesting, have you actually observed this or is this just how you feel. When I first saw SCII that last thing I thought was that it looked like WoW, because quite frankly, it doesn't. The first thing I thought was how awesome and well suited their art style choice was. I would probably have punched someone near me if it was overly graphic.
[QUOTE=johngrimm;17650812]Will they still be great? Yeah probably, but they'll be several leagues below what they once were.[/QUOTE]
In what respect, honestly? They will probably make more sales than their ancestors, have more players online, and provide a longer and more interesting game experience than their previous versions. I don't see how they are even one league below anything. I think you, and people like you, have a hard time adjusting to new things.
Overall, you didn't care about graphics when Diablo was 2D and when starcraft was 2D and now all the sudden the graphics are totally ruining the franchise? The art style is what is important not how close to reality you can get your graphics. And, Diablo III and SC II do not use the same rendering engine as WoW, their poly counts at any given time, [b]have been proven[/b] to be higher at any given frame than in WoW. Their shader engine and rendering engine are better than industry standard, where as WoW in its current state is far below industry standards.
Just because we don't want green and blue light coming out of nowhere doesn't mean we want the graphics to be "as close to reality as you can get", we just want our beloved gothic atmosphere instead of this cartoony shit.
Hey guys guess what?
I've been waiting 11 fucking years for this game so everyone shut the fuck up and let it be released. I'll be on battle.net playing my barbarian fucking shit up while you slit your wrists and play Audio Surf with Three Days Grace songs or some shit
got it?

Diablo 2 got released 9 years ago.

I've been waiting for it a long time too. That doesn't mean I can't think its direction sucks.
Also, how about you go back to 360 and play Halo 3?

I agree
[QUOTE=KigJow;17667436]Better yet, how about we get this thread trolling again?[/QUOTE]
it already is...
here's my middle-ground on the subject, i suspect that some creature models and textures, as mentioned before were swap-ins from wow untill the real ones are done (may be wrong) ok bit annoying but case closed months ago.
as for the color palette, i don't mind what it is now but if it's modded to mimic the D2 style color palette i'll definetly get that mod.
I personally dont see a problem with the creatures. They are standard mythical monsters.
[QUOTE=Higginz511;17670818]I personally dont see a problem with the creatures. They are standard mythical monsters.[/QUOTE]
well since it's a third game the creatures have already got a look, changing it to Pokemon style in the third game isnøt fitting.
[QUOTE=Higginz511;17670818]I personally dont see a problem with the creatures. They are standard mythical monsters.[/QUOTE]
See that is exactly what is wrong. Diablo, when released in 1997, stood out from all the rest of the games because of it's dark atmosphere and brutal, bloody gameplay. This isn't Diablo, this is Warcraft

That might take a while, since we're not getting any modding tools.

This is actually Diablo 3
It shouldn't be though.

I'm talking about how this isn't really part of the Diablo series
