Diablo III is for real

[Elric of Grans]

I think it is way too early to get overly worried about things. For all we know, this visual style may feel appropriate after we play the game for five minutes. Heck, it could end up looking different in play on our systems in two years time compared to what we see there! I seem to recall people voicing similar complaints about Diablo II before it was released, and I do believe most of us have a black spot in our memories around that time where several years seemed to just go up in a puff of smoke. Yes, these screen shots do look far more vastly removed from Diablo II than it looked from Diablo, and I bet the same will be true for how it `feels' in play, but we may as well be complaining about the design of the shuttle for the first manned flight to Mars. It may suck now, but by the time is actually matters it will probably suck a lot less and we may find we enjoy it. I know I am yet to play a bad Blizzard game (though I did not touch World of Warcraft, so I cannot comment on it), so I remain optimistic for the moment.
