Which version of art / style / atmosphere would you prefer for the final version of Diablo 3?


Remember the angry fans that created a petition and then darkened several screenshots to their liking? Well one gaming blog managed to sit down with the lead designer of Diablo III, Jay Wilson. At which point they showed him the altered screenshots to get his thoughts on them.

He took each one and broke down exactly why it couldn’t be put into a game. Essentially he pointed out that in the end they were just pretty pictures and wouldn’t actually work in a game. Partially because it would make it much harder to see the monsters you’re fighting.
He did state that there will be no rainbows in Diablo III, so at least they got that much. You can see the full break down of his thoughts here and if you’re curious about a particular screenshot, he addresses each one individually.

hey, i personally like the retouch better, but i have no problem with the original, calm the fuck down and just deal with what you got, they designed the game, if you want to complain about the graphics, just dont play the fucking game, they arent going to change it for you guys, its their fucking game! so take that dick out of your mouth, grow a pair, and fucking deal

blizz are just making excuses. it makes no sense to say it would be too hard to see... being hard to see is the fucking point of a dark moody and scary game...  imagine doom 3 with no darkness.....
