Diablo 3 will now be featured on the Playstation 3 and upcoming Playstation 4!
Mind = Blown
I feel like this is a huge marketing move..
Do you think it will cross platform play? - Possibly coming to Playstation portable devices?
How do you think the graphics will compare? - Porting graphics over from pc
All information seems to be up in the air right now..
What do you think?

hehe was to be expected even though I was surprised to see blizzard there. I don't care too much. D3 was disappointing for me.
|
|
With the fixed UI, was probably a good business decision. I'm still waiting for D3 on Ipad!!
Or, more specifically, D3 Auction House App, to waste more time at work.
|
I could honestly think of 3-4 different diseases i'd rather catch, than try this on console :/
|
Well i'm guessing it's not gonna be for sony only, they didn't say its exclusive and before when they said they were looking to port d3 to console, they said all the console. I mean the hard part is to rework control/UI, when that's done, why not all console?
|
Well, I guess it will fire up the (RM)AH again at launch.
|
I wonder if cross-platform interaction will exist.
|
Because launching it on another system > fixing how shitty of a game it is. Console players will buy it just like PC players did. They will play a month then never play it again.
|
Well that explains why all the weird UI and menu decisions were made...

They will play a month then never play it again. In these days, if you can make people play your game for a month, then it's already quite a big success, especially if you sell like 10 million boxes.

Did they really think anyone would actually be excited about this? God I hate marketing ploys with gaming nowadays.
|
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of... They can really spend all their time making the game for a platform that it's not even meant to be played on, rather than COMPLETING the game for PC? Like wtf? Confusion level at Blizzard is 41.
|
On the bright side this could be what Jay Wilson is in charge of now!

LOL oh god this is too much....
Blizzard finally trying to break into the console world... It's just unfortunate they have completely ruined a franchise while doing so.
I played THE SHIT out of Diablo 3 (1200+ hours on 3 characters) and finally realized that the game is just bad. It's a very serious addiction that is hard to overcome, but in the end I realized that it's just a money grabbing waste of time.
I'd be interested in seeing how the (RM)AH plays on these platforms...

Suddenly, it all makes sense. Blizzard just entered a whole new level of selling out. Now gee I wonder if Titan, their upcoming MMOFPS, will be made for consoles too. Well your answer is in the question, does Blizzard like money?
Should have seen it coming, like this guy did 8 months ago:

No way ill be dropping my hard earned cash on a game that has dissapointed me in the past. I havnt looked at D3 since about July/August last year, Have they even implemented PVP yet on PC? Not that i would probably load it up anyways lol. To me it seems like Blizzard are losing thier way its a shame really. I dont think its possible for this game to be a 'better' experience on playstation than it was on PC so to spend so much time and effort on a game that isnt ment to be on a console anyway just seem so pointless. Sorry Blizzard i wont be playing  (from the new info Zelniq just posted above me seems as though im wrong about this game not ment to be on console- Makes sence lol )

Can't wait for more features to be cut in the future due to difficulty implementing on consoles. I also can't wait for them to dumb down more features so the console market can understand.
