Turkey almost lucked out. Ask anyone though and they will say the final was the most boring final they have seen in a long time

Quote from kleinluka

Stop being bitter because your countries didnt qualify or get past round 1. lol

lol is that the best retort to them playing poorly you can muster? Wales is shit at football and I couldn't care less. It just amuses me that some of you cant accept that they didn't deserve to be there and were a poor team.

Which one is WoW ?

It's cause you're Jewish and don't believe in robots.

Nice carpet ginger.

Maybe they just have no imagination beyond the WoW style.

Not a ahter just annoyed that they played like shit in everygame and got lucky by being in the final. Many more teams in the tourny than them that were more deserving of a final.

Germany didn't even deserve to be in the final

Cops said. The cops. Said the cops.

Still a lot of floating bricks.

Quote from Jetsetlemming

If you ignore the outdoor image (seeing as all the D2 images you posted are from dungeons) the only difference in appearance is the result of the move to dynamically lit 3d with a higher def display. There is an added artistic quality that makes the environments have a somewhat hand painted appearance- this is most certainly something WoW does NOT have. Wow looks cartoony and simplistic- as if Insomniac made the environments back when they were making Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games. D3 looks artistic but suitably moody and impressive.

I couldn't disagree with you more, it's the complete opposite of moody or a brooding atmosphere which diablo 2 captured brilliantly. This looks like all of blizzards new games, WoW, all of it's expansions and Starcraft 2. They all share a smooth, stylised cartoon look which I think couldn't have been a worse choice for something like the Diablo series. Whenever I play Diablo 1 or 2 I always get the sense if being in an environment that is full of absolute evil, littered with tortured corpses, gore, moody lighting, and some rather disturbing iconography that I am not welcome in at all, and I love it! My impression from the videos and screenshots is a rather friendly atmosphere! Come on look at it, it looks like a rather pleasant place I can almost see the fairies dancing. It reminds me more of Dungeon Siege 2's mystical forests than a land full of evil. The environments certainly are not reflecting the type of game Diablo is. I'm a MASSIVE diablo fanboy so of course I'm going to moan about this.

Looks incredibly "WoWie" to my eyes.

Is anyone else bothered in a total fanboy way that it resembles wow in appearance and not the gritty and dark diablo 2 style?

Damnit. Ok I call necro.

Btw have you guys looked at the official website? It's bloody awesome.

Hmm it doesn't look or feel as dark and brooding as the originals

OMG YES

Oh hell yeah that's what I'm talking about! I love what you've done, it has a great feed and atmosphere to it. If I had to crit anything, and I do I'd sat that the green is a little, not by a lot, just a fraction overpowering in relation to the other colors in the first 2 images.
