I don't want to sound too serious, but the title of the article is, "Diablo III art inspired by titan quest." Which is funny cuase I just can't seem to put my finger on where the guys over at Iron Lore got the idea for Titan Quest in the first place. Hmmmm...

Everyone can whine and cry all they want about the color palletes and similarities with other games, But i'm willing to bet that after finally playing D3 for about 5 minutes, your going to completly forget about all of it.

I’m having trouble understanding why people are taking this so seriously. I’ve completely underestimated the furor of Diablo fans. The headline and article are entirely tongue in cheek.

Actually, not only did they have similar images but both screenshots show grass.

Titan quest --> might have to buy it and pretend i'm playing diablo 2.5 if its that good to be shamelessly a diablo clone.

I also see the woman in titan quests have clothes on. Geez.. Whats next!

You realize that both of those pics show (authentically recreated I might add) classic Greek architecture, right? Instead of implying that Blizzard is “inspired by Titan Quest” you might want to change the misleading headline to reflect that they appear to be using authentic Greek influences.

I would say that Blizzard is getting way to much credit for often very simple games both graphically and content wise.

I liked Diablo II but one might have to accept the fact that other companies also can make good games and Titan Quest is one of them imo.

I don't consider TQ a clone off the Diablo series, just like i don't consider all shooters a clone of Doom or Wolfenstein 3d.

@WarOtter: You’re right, it’s not news. Just a humorous observation. You’ll note I don’t say “ripped off” at all in the article, because nothing has been!

Soooo… what? Now concentric circle stairs are a copyrightable idea? I’m pretty sure you can find similar structures in similar settings inside other games. So I mean really… this is non news

I always thought titan quest looked pretty sweet but I never had a rig that could play it. My pc is old, it actually has two serial ports and a parrellel port...*sigh*

I'll go through the grueling process of getting a new one next year.

On a side note I'm slightly worried about Diablo 3. The lack of a potion system concerns me as, sure it was annoying that your inventory was full of potions but it was also the most intense moments when you mash the whole number section from 1-8 when you were getting hammered. It may feel a bit too easy without this system.

Additionally, it seems like they've got the dark feeling to it but the graphical style seems to reminiscent of warcraft to the point I could be playing "Warcraft 4: Heroes"...

Heres hoping that diablo 3 is as awesome as it should be (and it does still look awesome I'll be upgrading for it =)
