I've been trying to fill the Diablo 3 void lately with some Torchlight. The game (graphics wise) seems to look very similar to Diablo 3 in terms of textures, lighting, etc.
For those that have played the Diablo 3 Demo/Beta builds, does it feel as smooth as Torchlight?
Do you guys think that Diablo 3 might have similar system requirements to Torchlight?
I think D3 will have a much higher system requirement than TL (and TL2).
Especially the polygon counts on characters, monsters, and objects look to be much higher in D3.
From what I little of d3 I have played, it is better than torchlight in all aspects (some who miss the old skill system would probably argue that with me).
Torchlight could be played on a netbook, I doubt d3 will have that feature. It is safe to say that the requirements for D3 will be whatever the standard gaming rig is these days. I plan on upgrading a little bit for this game after feedback from the beta comes in.
D3 probably well be more demanding on the processor than your video-card while providing the means to turn on effects to utilize your card which increases cpu performance to a lesser extent.
I think it will be like SC2 but a little less demanding since Starcraft is a bit more a "manly" game than d2
