That D2 picture actually looks more like D3 than these prototype pictures.

The first two Diablo games had a distinct style, lot of great artwork went into those games. But, as the above pictures show, that old Diablo style does not work that well with a 3D engine, it does not look unique anymore, and it actually looks boring without those vibrant colors that D3 has.
Of course Diablo 3 has similar stylized visuals like the WoW and Starcraft 2. That is the style that Blizzard is using with every game they make. But do not tell me that Diablo 3 looks just like the WoW, or that this style somehow excludes dark and gothic. Those new Demon Hunter clips look pretty dark and gothic to me.
What I like about Diablo 3 is that it has a distinct style, it looks different than any other game. These pictures could be from any average RPG that is out there, the only thing that reminds me of Diablo game is that horrible UI.
I will eat my hat if Diablo 3 is released this year.
@hsu1eric: The other team at Eidos Montreal is working on the next Thief game.
I have been waiting for this 10 years.
They should have made fun out of obligatory scripted artillery/air strikes and Time Crisis esque boat/car action sequences.
@AARST: I'm not sure about this, but I think that Playstation was originally called Playstation X, they just dropped the X before it was released. But I could be wrong...
I have no problem with big open spaces, but don't force me to collect hundreds of plants there, I'm not a botanist.
@Synthos: Bulletstorm is more like Painkiller reborn, which was also made by People Can Fly. I really enjoyed Painkiller because it really embraced its old-school shooter roots.
@Static Jak: To me generic FPS games these days are the Call of Duty's, Halo's, Medal of Honor's and Battlefield's. In that group Bulletstorm is a breath of fresh wind.
I did not like Predators at all, even Predator 2 was a better film. I did not like the way how they invented a new race of Predators, and then made them weak and pathetic.
I'm not expecting much from FOX movies anyway. It takes a special talent to make awful movies of characters like Wolverine and Predators. I did like Avatar, but I guess the reason why that movie was successful was because James Cameron could say fuck off to FOX executives if they wanted to change something in the…
@Fata1moose: It is not that bad, I like it.
@boom1shot: Three Diablo 3 beta invites.
@iAmHammett: I could not imagine playing Tribes without keyboard and mouse. I can remember using most of the keys in my keyboard in Tribes 1 and Tribes 2 Classic.
This is horrible news. Tribes to me never was about massive battles and vehicles. It was a great CTF game that was most fun when it was played with rather small teams (12on12 max), and without any vehicles. And why it has to be MMO? The reason why Tribes 1 and 2 were so popular was because they were solely multiplayer…
@Firelance: I enjoyed playing Borderlands, even the fact that enemies respawned did not piss me off, like it would have in any other game.
