Quote from Rick_Di 100% guarantee that if blizzard had made diablo 3 an isometric game built in the same style as d1+2, people would be complaining that blizzard can't make bold changes with art direction and that they are a 1 trick pony, or that the grimdark theme is so 1990's, why don't blizzard get out of the past? etc etc etc ad infinitum.
seems more like they're a 1 trick pony with the current art direction, as it's the same as the world of warcraft one...
Wouldn't it be (atleast) 2 trick pony since diablo2 had such a radically different art direction?????
Why do ponies need tricks anyway, they're made for riding!!!
well in any case i just wanted to prove rick wrong, but yeah you are a probably right insta..
Quote from FrieChampThe people who are so invested in a game series that they go on the internet to complain about the colour palette of the latest iteration are precisely the ones who pick up the title in stores on day one (if only to complain some more afterwards).
But wait, there will be 2x that amount who are not into the game series and pick it up day one because they are new to the series.

Either way, Blizzard wins. :derp:
Won't different worlds/areas have different theme and artstyle. Maybe one will be all grim dark.

but diablo 3 doesn't look like WoW
Yeah, I think it looks more like starcraft. :derp:
just for shits and giggles, the first image in google for each of the games.

damn guys, did i just accidentally link to the same image 3 times, cause i really can't tell the difference!
it's almost like i don't have any artistic eye whatsoever and confuse opinion with fact!
I hate to stir the flames of the Diablo 3 hate, because personally I think it looks pretty ace and a damn sight better than those screenshots of the "old" version of the game, but I do agree it has similarities to WoW. By no means a visual clone as they are easy to tell apart, plus I really like the look they're going for, but I do see why people make the comparison.
On that note while doing a quick google image search of Diablo 3 screens just to check my opinion before posting, I found this screenshot strangely reminiscent of the one Dux just posted...

Clearly uses the same stair asset a the WoW screenshot you just posted with a bit more grime on the texture 
Not trying to condemn such a tactic by the way as it happens all the time in the industry and makes a lotta sense, just thought it kinda funny!
Quote from Rick_Ddamn guys, did i just accidentally link to the same image 3 times, cause i really can't tell the difference!
I totally thought you did until I double checked!
How dare Blizzard use stylized art that allows them to set lower system reqs and make their games more widely accessible to PC gamers. Curse those lazy bastards!
...at the expense of immersion, no less!

Quote from Bunglo
please please please don't tell me that is your idea of evidence that diablo 3 looks like torchlight?
thmbnail images that have been desperately taken in the same general area (oh no, both games have a bridge! oh no, both games have a room!).
using a thumbnail comparison i can prove without a shadow of a doubt that crysis and farcry require the same system specs, and have the same graphics. crytek just reused all the assets and charged another 50 bucks for the same game! how dare they!

see, the problem with talking shit, is that it stinks.

That's a really compelling image right there
