Glad someone finally did this so they can realize all this complaining about the environment is almost completely unfounded...

Very funny how the video shows two level 1 character and then a twinked out high-level character with many skills. Such a fair comparison.

Well I think it is still a pretty fair comparison in my opinion. Are we suppose to be paying attention to the character or the atmosphere? It is the atmosphere/colors/graphics/whatever you want to call it that people are complaining about.

I think this video actually shows that D3 to have a much more "dark" or "gothic" atmosphere than either the two.

Well, I don't think the D3 demo showed "high-level" characters. They were overpowered for the area they were in, but I doubt that the skills we saw were the top tier skills for the classes.

Also, I didn't have sound where I watched this. Were they discussing anything during the video where they said it should be a fair comparison, or was it just to show how the game has evolved from 1 to 2 to 3?

Nah, nothing was discussed. They just had the music/sfxs from the games.

fell free to make your own video with a high level D1 and D2 charector for comparison. It wont make a difference.

Actually someone already did. Cinematic trailers included.

I sincerely doubt a level 1 character will have all those skills from the start.
Even if it will -- it's still a ridiculous comparison. The description of the video is "This time, "combat evolved" actually means something."
Obviously you would show what both games have to offer in that regard, wouldn't you?

Unfortunatly whoever made it (the OP?) prefers dumb propaganda and shows Diablo 1 & 2 characters using normal attack and messing around in their inventory, and then the D3 barb using his full arsenal of skills. It's really stupid because you could do the opposite as well. For Diablo 1, show the Sorceror killing groups of enemies using charged bolt, firewall, chain lightning, etc. For Diablo 2, use an Assassin getting charges from his skills, casting cloak of shadows, converting/stunning with mindblast and laying traps. And then show a D3 barb using nothing but normal attacks. If someone did that it wouldn't get praised but flamed, though it's essentially the same thing...

Oh and for the record I do think D3 will be better than (not then) the first two Diablo games, but it has nothing to do with that crappy video that proves nothing.

That last video was way too long.

Obvious improvement in all aspects, but we're completely missing the gameplay feeling. I'm a fan of the old Diablo because it has a grid-based, notchy feeling to it. Targeting characters was easy, movement was notchy and slow, but specific, and we could use doorways and such to our advantage. It felt more like a live-action, tile-based strategy game.

It's a far cry from D2 and D3, which in my opinion at least, have a very different feel to them due to the fact that they're not locked into a tile-based grid. It's a different type of gameplay, but certainly one I enjoy quite a bit.

The point I'm trying to make is that D1 is a different beast than D2 and D3. To me, D3 adds a lot of new moves, cool audio clips, and impressive visuals, but it is very similar to D2 (which is a good thing). Ultimately, just because the series name and story is the same doesn't mean D1 can be compared to D2/D3 as some sort of 'evolution in gaming'. I'm not trying to argue anything... just stating what's on my mind.
