What happens with less saturation

Blizzard reduced the saturation of Starcraft 2 (-15%) after the huge outcry early on, they can do it with D3.


Current


Saturation reduced


Saturation and brightness reduced

Edit: added pic below into initial post

Which would you say looks more like a Diablo game?

Re: What happens with less saturation

You should post this on the official Diablo III general forum. http://www.battle.net/forums/board.a...ame=d3-general

I'd love for them to make this change.

Re: What happens with less saturation

That second one looks nice. It doesn't have the same Warcraft feel as the first one.

Re: What happens with less saturation

Same pic with reduced brightness:



Might want to be careful with that though, or it'll lead to hacking to remove the darkness.

Ps. @YSM I can't seem to login to the D3 forums ('General login error'), can anyone link to this thread?

This last shot looks perfect. I really hope it gets changed to something like this.

Dont see why you'd need to hack the game for it, how about just adjusting your saturation and brightness settings in your grafic card drivers?

Then let's fight for it!
I don't know what's up with the official forums, but feel free to post these pictures (specifically #1 and #3) in as many places on the net as possible.

......

I was referring to how maphack in D2 made the full screen as bright as it could go.

Re: What happens with less saturation

I do like that last one a lot. I think a lot of contrast would also be cool, like very dark cathedral with the stereotypical piercing beams of light. We'll see in the final game I suppose.
