3D does not HAVE to mean cartoon colours and proportions.

Perhaps if this thread and examples get enough attention our Admins. here at diabloii.net can start a Poll or Petition and present it to the dev team so that there is plenty of time to make any changes to the game.

I agree, the how it should is a bit much, but the current look does need a little work.

And as far as the picture posted earlier with the -40% Saturation and 10% Lighter Brightness or whatever and the red color, it looked horrible. It looked washed out and I'll take that green hue over it any day.

Guys, you know that most modern games has a "change brightness option", and I would be astonished if D3 didn't!
Although the size of the Characters REALLY made me question this game. But I guess it's early in the process...

+1 I *love* the doctored screenshots. D3 should be dark and gritty.

Sigh if only the brightness were our problems

Yeah, most games also have a "don't play" option, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it? We're talking about the atmosphere and feel of the game, not adjusting the gamma.

Ahem. As long as Blizzard doesn't do this, it's fine:

This was an image posted by VonVentrue at the official Diablo3 forums over at battlenet. How many of you agree with the above image? I do.

Well, they didn't go Warcraft 3 on it, but it is somewhat cartoony. And the gore is a bit over the top, too, reinforcing the cartoon style. Diablo 1 had the gore side handled just right (and the art style in general).

They did fix up their buildings in SC2 after the community complained about their looks. If the cause for concern is big enough, they might do it here too. And its not as if they can't put in an optional shader that fiddles with colours a bit.
