The latest episode of Blizzcast is out, and along with it some new Diablo 3 screenshots that show off some exciting new details: the user interface. Also (take a deep breath), you can see the pants slot that's all shiny and new. Woo! There's a few more shots as well, which you can see in the gallery.
Blizzcast also features a Q & A session to answer fan questions with World of Warcraft's Tom Chilton, Diablo III's Jay Wilson, and StarCraft 2's Dustin Browder. You can actually check out the transcript of that here if you would prefer to read rather than listen.
Is it me, or do these screens look really dark? Especially looking at this particular set, I don't get the "Diablo 3 is too colorful" argument.

It's FUCKIN' SEXY!
/sarcasm
It looks like it needs a hard outline or something on the characters, to distinguish them from the background when the action gets crazy. Or, maybe they already thought of that, and they think it looks purdier without for screenshots. <_>
Fucking weapons better all take up the same space on inventory (no more than 6), those 4x2 weapons in D2 were shit.
I want my grid based puzzles of trying to figure out how to squeeze the most out of my inventory.
I second the grid-puzzle. It's part of what made Diablo unique.
As for my sentiments on the graphics, being a Diablo fan since 1 first came out on PC; it looks really good, and looks like a lot of fun. Apparently, CHANGE IS BAD! GRAWR!
It's dark sure but looks pretty cartoony.
I think you're confused. People are saying that it does not look like traditional Diablo and looks more like the new WoW-y direction Blizzard is taking.
The few gamers who don't play WoW (and therefore hate it) don't like the change in direction; aka don't like WoW seeping into mainstream games.
Also lol at Corak - the tree looks the same because WoW's is near identical to Diablo 2's. I dont play WoW, im assuming that because that tree looks near identical to D2's. Blizzard may tend to sit on the safe side of the innovation line, but on the other hand, if it isnt broke dont fix it.
Even some of the spells/skills have the same names.
"Those who do not now their history are bound to repeat it."
I'll be seriously disappointed if I can't summon a unicorn that craps rainbows.
The only thing I don't like is not being able to drink health and mana pots.
Secondly, WoW does A FUCK LOAD of game mechanics RIGHT. I don't have a problem with borrowing
IN order to fix these problems, you HAVE to borrow from WOW because it fixes all those problems. The inventory, the PvP, trading, lack of potions, economy not being bullshit, and most importantly the skill trees were crafted much better to avoid 1 or 2 skill spamming.
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT.
nah that'd just be too sick. for some reason companies aren't allowed to do really sick things.
*sigh*
Some of us are Blizzard fans, don't mind change, and are saying that borrowing from WoW is a good thing. Believe me, if people actually took the time to play WoW, instead of mocking it, they would like it.
Borrowing from the most successful game of all time is a no-brainier; you don't need to get worked up explaining it :D
