Diablo III

Nem vagyok egyedül, D3 hivatalos fórumán kicsit máskép aggódnak a grafika miatt mint én de szerintem igaza van , várom a komenteket.
Remélem tudtok angolul , nincs kedvem lefordítani.
A lényeg az hogy nem tetszik az Armor grafikája stb.
I know many of you are paying a lot of attention to the way the environment is a little brighter and more colourful than necessary, not setting the correct mood. But have you checked out some of the character design?



In particular I am concerned about the SHAPE, COLOUR, TEXTURE, SIZE, and DETAIL of the armor.

If you take a close look at the "gothic plate" that drops from the chest for the barbarian during the gameplay video, (or this, http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c238/ShroudOfEscape/lawl.jpg ) it doesn't look anything like gothic plate... or any kind of plate for that matter.

-The colour: It's green... what?
-The shape/size: A little too large. A little too "chunky".. remeniscent of WoW-style.
-The detail: It's overdone. There are already spikes, there's no need for multiple ridges surrounded by poorly drawn/blurry details around it. The armor just looks crowded.
-The TEXTURE: This is the biggest one for me. MAKE METAL SHINE A BIT. You can't even tell what kind of material he is wearing because there is absolutely no reflection. He could be wearing cloth over cardboard, painted wood, plastic, or even play dough for all you know.

As another small example, take a look at the Dark Cultist page here.

I REALLY hope the artists stray from this ridiculous looking WoW art and go back to the basics we had in Diablo and Diablo II, with updated graphics. UPDATE things, do not radically change them into something else. They have enough time that they could make some changes to this stuff, so don't give up on it. They also have the talent to make this game look awesome, I believe. We just have to let them know what we like, and what we don't. Hopefully they'll take it into consideration.

I want smooth, reflective plates of metal, at least in some places. I want chainmail that has at least a slight sparkle to it when you're in the light. I want armor that is SLIGHTLY realistic and cool looking. I want armor that doesn't look crowded and overdetailed. I want armor that isn't TOO COLOURFUL. I want to be able to know what I'm wearing in more ways than just by hovering over the item and seeing the name "gothic plate"

Please, don't let this turn into WoW2 where art is concerned. It can be improved; Blizzard has the tools and the talent.

Thank you.
