I think there should be two different options for colorful game and dark colors when you installing the game or two different downloadable patches!
Thene everone can make his own choise - dark or colorful Diablo 3.

In fact D3 appears darker than D2. How about a horde of bright blue (frozen) and bright green (poisoned) monsters in a pale yellow / bright desert (outside Lut Gholein) or bright red dungeon (Worldstone Keep) with a sorceress spamming a bright red firewall, a Necro spamming bright white Bone Spirit, another sorceress doing massive white zig-zagging chain lightning damage and a Paladin casting auras onto everyone?

Just *love* the changes in D3. Keep up the good work Blizzard - take your time and get it right!

"Diablo 1 [...] featured very bright, and visually vibrant locations like Tristram itself and the Caves."

What the hell. Bright and vibrant ? Excuse me, did you actually play the game ?

I think that the new art direction will grow on people and once they play the real thing they'll discover that it's not that bad as they expected it to be.

This is a horror game about the devil, hell and demons.
They dont mean dark as in the amount of light dumbass. Well maybe light radius which they still need. It means dark as in evil sadistic and atmospheric.

The only vibrant color I want to see is BLOOD which is covering the floor that is littered with bodies that do not disappear. I want to see impaled corpses and hear babies screaming in the distance. Most of the creatures should be demons or undead that are scary as fuck.

lol @ all the anger. It's the first time they've shown the game. Things will change over time like they always do.

Diablo to me, the first one, was dark and atmospheric. I got over the fact that Diablo2 looks like an anime cartoon in comparison to the first, I'll also get over Diablo 3 having actual colours that aren't black or red, too. Gameplay is what is more important, and until I've played it I will reserve judgement and not call people fags cause they have opinions that differ from my own.

youre all fucki fags. you guys call urself diablo fans and yet you like where there taking this game, thats fucken rediculos. What there doing is destroying what diablo is all about.

You know, if I didnt see that damn rainbow I wouldn't have cared.
but that rainbow ruined my respect for the Diablo III artwork

In my personal opinion, D2 wasn't very good colorwise. D3 is much brighter and much more stylish! I love what they did, and I don't think it looks like Warcraft at ALL. I personally hate warcraft! So, the people that started a petition are so stupid! They've waited 8 years, and all they can say is.. OMFG GHEY RAINBOw. shut up already, give it a chance.. no wait.. you don't need to give it a chance because it'll be the best game ever conceived in history of man kind :D!

You guys are stupid, you're sabotaging the development of the game, you are the ones who are not true Diablo Fans, shame on all of you.

Agreed, Diablo 3 isn't Diablo 2, I personally think that Diablo 3 looks great, sure a couple spots could be a tiny bit darker, but Diablo 3's artistic direction is looking great for the most part.

heh +1 to the "VERY MUCH".
I agree some change would be cool too.

It couldn't be so hard for blizzard to make some colors "darker". It's extremly easy and theyv'e done it before (Diablo 1 & 2). It's just some texture editing;). I like the outer areas thogh. But in tombs and cathedrals it should look more like the sequels. I would really like to see the light radius effect in D3, as it gave Diablo 1 & 2 it's "dark feeling" that i sure like.

....you psyco ..tehy could do an option to change the actual art (if you call art that piece of copy/paste from wow) to a darkness or tetric desgin and easy way a few game have that option , and if you want to play some plastic game go play wow and wc3 , no one is saying that the 3d efect are bad but the color could be better and the option coul be added
