Which looks better? What do you think?

 

[Chucky]

Personally I like the Diablo II look better...but the Shadow Hunter for D3 looks great...

 

[Dr Super Good]

Diablo 3 easilly.

Lets look at Diablo II.
A woman with no trousers, big mellons and a long pointy stick...
A guy who is so cheap he is dressed in bones and can not substain a large army without expensive gear and better servers...
A guy who wields a big axe and is totally usless for anything other than buffing groups or ending up 6 feet under...
A cheap lap-dancer that seems to be lost and so relies on her ability to skip actual combat and use cheap tactics to win...
An african man dressed in armor of shiny riggedness and rains the imba furry of poor design on all his foes...

Yeh, boring stuff.

As for Diablo III.
A person who would not stand out as a villian of the most scary horror movies.
Someone who has just stained the floor with his last critics.
Look! Its Vayne Solidor from FFXII! (for some stupid reason the female wizzard is shown despite a male variation existing).
A guy with a beard like that! Can we lose!?
And a person whos playstyle mimics Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank (Where the hell is the demon hunter in those pictures!?).

So umm... Yeh... No contest...

Your stupid image is doing no justice to Diablo III. You feature the female Wizzard next to male characters (you need 2 images for male and female). Most importently you forgot to actually display a whole damn class... Remember that there are 5 classes in D3 not 4.
Witchdoctor
Barbarian
Wizzard
Monk
Demonhunter
Count them... 5!!!

I wouldn't mind both, actually.
But the Diablo III one looks quite cool, although I do believe Blizzard would somehow be able to expand its awesomeness even further in the future.

I like the campfire setting better. The background for D3 selection is lame and ugly imo.

 

[Edhel-dur]

I chose D2 because:

1. The campfire.
2. Character poses are much more better then those from D3.
3. Although less detailed, I think their simple visual design is better.
4. D2 characters manage to inspire their type better. The D3 ones just seem to show how gear looks on them later on.

@DSG you know the OP was reffering to the selection screen and not the actual gameplay mechanics found in the game.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes and the selection screen for D3 is wrong in that case. There are 5 classes not 4...
I think that is a third party image anyway. Especially since it mixes male and female variations.

Does no justice to D3 at all.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well give a better picture then.

 

[Gilles]

Best I could find.

 

[Archian]

You guys, DO know that none of that is final, right? The D3 ones, that is.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, hmm. That picture looks like really low quality.

Blizzard should make awesome character selection screen like in Diablo 2. Now they poorly just take the playable models from the game.

...Happy lion. I wonder if that's Torchlight or Diablo 3? Both are so cartoonish, this I didn't expect from Diablo 3. Diablo 2 was so cool being dark and all that.

...And Diablo 3 joke.

True, Blizzard could go for something more awe-inspiring than merely using the same playable models. But like I said, nothing is final yet.

As for the Happy Lion. I think it's been pointed out a few times on the official forums. Regardless, those screenshots are from the BETA and are subject to change.

The graphics in diablo III look prety awesome.
1. Where as in D2 your enemies died in rather predictable ways, in D3 they will die in every way from melting in a ball of flame to having their body parts sent flying across the room.
2. Where as the graphics in D2 were stupidly overdone to the point of being plain silly (durance of hate in hell, I doubt the whole population of earth could have that much blood) D3 seems to be much more eye pleasing and provide the looks one imagines on a quest to stop evil.
3. In D2, other players did not show their equiped gear if the gear was carrying itself. In D3 you will most lilkly get to see everyones gear in full glory and not some "nacked" hammerdin dealing stupidly high damage with max block and enigma.

The only complaint I have is with the trees. I guess they were done that was to keep requirements down though.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

At the moment I'm not happy of Diablo 3. I feel like Diablo 3 is a let down.

Nooo? Just too cartoonish I don't like that at all. It's like WoW or LoL, not that old dark Diablo 1 or Diablo 2.

1. Where as in D2 your enemies died in rather predictable ways, in D3 they will die in every way from melting in a ball of flame to having their body parts sent flying across the room.

Hip, hip, hurray. Nothing unique here compared to games in the near future.

2. Where as the graphics in D2 were stupidly overdone to the point of being plain silly (durance of hate in hell, I doubt the whole population of earth could have that much blood) D3 seems to be much more eye pleasing and provide the looks one imagines on a quest to stop evil.

Let's hope so.

3. In D2, other players did not show their equiped gear if the gear was carrying itself. In D3 you will most lilkly get to see everyones gear in full glory and not some "nacked" hammerdin dealing stupidly high damage with max block and enigma.

Well, yea, it's an old game.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Diablo II was hardly dark. Comical yes but dark no. Any darkness it had was the result of the crap graphic system it used (bad contrast).

The same result can be achieved by playing D3 with your screen contrast and brightness turned down.

The boobs on the Amazone are sooo....

D2 !!

lol

T.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I'm guessing that isn't official, considering it's still under development, so yeah I'm sure they'll give them a better screen
But it looks decent even with a low quality.
