Quote:Meh! I can't stand modern graphics (Ã la Warcraft3 and other RTSs). They're too cartoony and 'flashy'. I miss the old, gritty feel of the original Diablo.
That's not so much a function of modern graphics as of the direction Blizzard and various other industry leaders have taken. My best counter-example is the oft-cited Guild Wars, which is rather pretty, and definitely not cartoony for the most part. I fully agree on the cartoony issue, though, and you can see a clear shift in this direction in Blizzard products BEFORE 3D rendering, starting with Diablo II (compare Diablo II enemies to Diablo original).
Revamped Starcraft art, with perhaps a better engine, and maybe some dedicated servers for ladder games, would be truly awesome. Something closer to the concept art in the manual and further from the downright goofiness in some of the more recent Blizzard titles would be preferable.
