That does not give the same effect. It does not remove the cartoon crap, sorry to say. While I am excited Blizzard finally revealed Diablo3, I am disappointed by it's look and the inventory system.
I am sure it will play great, but I am also sure I could tear my eyes out just because of the out of place WoW look. |

People shouldn't fret too much about the shadows and the light radius, they are all gonna use maphack again which removes that "fog of war" because it annoys everybody.

Yes, I totally fucking agree with you. And these people: http://www.petitiononline.com/d3art/petition.html
They are fucking spot on. Diablo3 is really WoW-Diablo3, it looks fucking like kindergarden. Check out the modified pictures at the bottom, I think if Diablo3 looked like that it would be brilliant.

WOW man, i can hardly distinguish anything in that picture.
bad bad bad bad BAD.
Leave my diablo 3 alone please.

I understand why some people want it to look more like Diablo 2. I somehow agree with them that the suggested pictures make it more gothic as it should. However, the only thing gameplay wise that's changed, is the light radius showing all visible area and not just the line of sight.

Seeing the gameplay video a few more times I've actually come to like the look of the game. Looks very smooth and the awesome power of the barbarian as he destroys his enemies is very satisfying.
Damn I spoke to soon, played that cursed Titan Quest again today and now Im hooked. Just hate to start every rpg with inferior weapons and armor but after the initial grinding when your char becomes stronger the game opens up abit.
Been thinking about D3 all day, I feel just like that fat dude on youtube masturbating over playing d3...

Yah, there's a problem with Blizzard's recent games where they're all looking more and more alike. Right now it looks like Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, WoW and Warcraft 3 are all gonna end up looking *very* similar. Could also well be that they're all actually using the same graphics engine, but that could still have been overcome by making the models and art darker, more gritty and less blocky.

A Blizzard developer on some forums already stated that StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, WoW and War3, all four use a different 3D engine.
Actually, SC2 supports HDR, pixel shader 3.0, while war3 doesn't even support pixel shader 2.1 at all. WoW is PS 2.1 only.
Dunno about Diablo 3 but it seems it is PS 2.1 only too from the graphics.
IMO the fact their games look kinda the same is because their art directors are working into the same office I guess ?  That, and the fact all these games are blocky, and thus the cartoonish look is needed to make it look OK.
Realistic graphics with such low polys would look awful, and that's pretty much why lots of MMORPG don't look as nice as WoW, even though it displays some more polygons.
Realistic + low poly = not possible. Take for example the cell-shading games : X360/PS3 versions of these (for example DBZ) are looking nicer than their PS2 version, but not THAT much, because low poly + cartoon look = ok

Strange. Sure it's not just different(upgraded) versions of the same engine? Makes little sense to develop 4 seperate game engines, I'd say.
But yeah, obviously the fact that they're all working in the same building is gonna affect how the games end up looking. I've just despised the Warcraft 3 look ever since the day I first tried the game though, so I can't say I'm happy they're now transferring it to both SC2 & D3 too.

I'am pretty sure Starcraft II and Diablo III use the same Graphics Engine, if at all a different Version, but it wouldnt surprise me if its pretty much the exact same
For WoW or Warcraft III, id say its a different engine, probably even from one another.
And i bet Diablo III utilizes HDR and other Shader 3.0 Mechanics, of course Starcraft II too.
Another Topic, this whole Petition.
I mean .. WTF ?
Why wont those People let Blizzard do their Job ? After all THEY are the Game Designers, not you, me, us.
If they dont like the Style of the Game, well - become Game Designer and go work for Blizz and try your luck but otherwise let them do their job, they've always done a great job and every game was a success, i trust them in what they do and they know what they do very well.
Its like youre telling an Artist how to sing or write their songs
Like .. hey Robbie .. Rudebox sucks make a new album, i tell you how.. do this bla bla bla, do that bla bla bla.
Thats redicioulus, just like my grammar !

At least that what they say. Seems they aren't sharing their engines between their teams, as if it was 4 different teams.
I remember reading that War3 dev (now SC2 dev) used to help WoW developers to polish WoW before it was out so maybe the same is happening for every blizzard game, I don't know. Remember that WoW used lots of icons for the spells coming straight from War3 but then again, all these games had the same lead designer : Rob Pardo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Pardo) so i wouldn't be surprise that's where these graphics come from...
Seems he isn't behind SC2 dev though (according to wikipedia) but he is actually too...
And there is this man (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=95109) that is the art director for lots of blizzard's games. Seems their teams aren't 100% separated after all.

I don't think they D3 uses the same engine. I remember that one of the Hellgate devs said they couldn't just buy any current engine because they all only support solid levels and not randomly generated ones.
Maybe a reason for D3 also having its very own engine?
