diablo 3 is going to suck big time

“Another part of the game that some hardcore fans missed was having a light radius follow the player’s character. Because some of the areas of past “Diablo” games were so dark, the player had a circle of light following them around to help them navigate the depths of dungeons. [Lead “Diablo III” designer Jay] Wilson said the team tried to make use of the light radius, but it just didn’t work with a 3D engine. “It looked really bad,” he admitted. “If you took an environment and you basically lit the whole thing up with just a flashlight, it works way better in a 2D game… we’ve really found that you needed other light sources to be able to make the game look good.” However, that doesn’t mean the beloved light radius won’t show up in “Diablo III.” “Not in all dungeons, but there might be in some,” he revealed. “I think people really remembered it in like one or two places where it was prevalent in ‘Diablo II,’ but forget that it almost didn’t exist in the other 90 percent of the game. But if we can find one dungeon where it’s really good to use it, and we can create a lot of gameplay out of it and make it look cool, then yeah, we’ll do it. And it’s not like within the team there’s a lack of desire to do that, it’s just that we don’t want to do it if it’s not going to play well or it doesn’t look good.””

This above is Lead_“Diablo III”_Designer_Jay_Wilson speaking.

He hasnt played diablo 1 nor 2, or else he would know that there is a light radius in a dark environment ~80% of the time in diablo games, not “in like one or two places”.

As “Abaddon” commented,

“The Original Blizzard North team that created Diablo 1 & 2 are Totally Unrelated to this.
Read twice before saying “Blizzard never gave us reason to doubt”
That’s okay,It’s just that Blizzard Isn’t Blizzard anymore.
As for my entitled opinion,this is going to Suck Big Time.
If you think otherwise,let me be,do no talk to me, buy it and play it,you soulless conformist critter.”
