Diablo III Not Dark Enough?

Without citing sources which are plenty, especially on Diablo III forums, there is a uproar with the current art direction. I can understand cause the darkest most evil series Blizzard has ever done is not getting darker or more evil. If anything it is getting lighter and a little more cartoon like, and while many believe that is a bad thing, I agree with them.

Diablo III however is not going in that direction, and you might say “Josh how do you know that?” and I say the answer is simple.

This is our first look into the new Diablo III universe and I doubt that what we see will make it into the final product as we saw it. I also think Blizzard will listen to their fans and make this game as dark and evil as possible to stay true to the feelings of the previous games. Models when they are first developed can have a soft look to them before final details are added. My final reason is my favorite, it is cause we are not looking at the worst the Diabo III has to deliver to us, cause I saw a castle and a field slash jungle area which was far from the hell you are bound to experience after the game plot picks up when it releases.

So lighten up and don’t worry so much guys! Look forward to the last announcement Blizzard is going to make! I cannot wait.
