Diablo 3 & Blizzard Seeking New Art Director

Conspiracy theorists! Pay attention here! Blizzard is advertising for a new art director for Diablo 3. Could it be that Diablo 3 will indeed get that 'moodier, darker' look? In a word...

NO

Check out Blizzard's response at Shack News to stories flying around the 'net

"Regarding Brian (Morrisroe), he recently resigned to form a startup technology company (outside the game industry), which is why we've posted about the open position," a Blizzard representative told Shacknews in an email correspondence.

"This change won't impact the game... we're really pleased with the look and feel that Brian helped create for Diablo III, and the new person we bring on board will work with the other artists on the team to maintain the art style moving forward."

So if that explanation doesn't satisfy the CTers, nothing will. Here...have a Godly Tinfoil Hat of the Whale!

Well the complaints I saw about the light radius are true it's much brighter than it was previously yet a light radius is still there. Also we don't need to get it so dark that we go back to the Diablo 1 days where you couldn't tell what was killing you. Yet this is just my opinion you can agree or disagree either way I will prolly still buy diablo 3.

Me too, AmnaelUchiha. :)

Blizz makes D3. Fans outraged by new artstyle. Blizz looking for new art director for D3.
Comical.

Well, it -does- appear coincidental but...meh...

Guitar, don't make me put a tin hat on ya. ;)

I always wonder what the fans think they will achieve with things like this. Do they think the game devs will simply bow to their superior intellegence and accept all their suggestions?

"Brian? Come in my office for a minute. Remember you told me you always wanted to start a company? Yeah, I think now would be a good time."
