what made diablo unique and popular was the fact that it was not cartoonish and it was unique in its genre. Quote from 'fallenangelism' »I aggree with Jaru5, but i mean when u look at it its freaking discusting, we waited so long to get something unique like the past diablos, and now we get this bs that looks like world of warcraft but with just a different s cheap if you ask me. Since the company is now a lot larger than it was when most of the games we love were created (and most of the people responsible for those games no longer work for the company), they may just want to listen to 'whining' fans that see things from another perspective. I honestly hope Blizzard realizes the detriments of IP ambiguity. I think my previous post describing an artistic analogy probably describes my concerns better. I agree that conforming to a completely greyscale colour scheme would be a bad move, but I also think the current colour use went too far in the other extreme: the WoW colour palettes. The stone blocks in the gameplay trailer were more reminiscent of the Scarlet Monastery/Undercity than anything previously presented in a Diablo game. In the more gritty and realistic approach to the earlier Diablos' art direction, characters didn't have excessively over-sized hands and feet and bricks were realistically sized. Everything is designed akin to the Warcraft proportions: feet are HUGE, bricks are HUGE and shoulders are HUGE (the barbarian is even wearing pauldrons that look exactly like an orc grunt's).

The colouring may be a very big part of the issue but what adds to the elements I listed before are the proportions of design.
