I'm guessing the console version will have their own servers and battle.net interface? The original Starcraft got ported to N64 without multiplayer I'm sure the RMAH will be in, maybe use PS cash! Or use the PS3/4 UI. I wasn't a big fan of the PS3 network.

This makes me laugh so much.

One of the most disappointing game of 2012, coming to PlayStation! Geez I just can't fucking wait!

I have just one question. How are you supposed to play a WW/CM wizard on a controller?

I guess in hindsight it's pretty obvious this was the plan LONG ago. Sigh

I've had a good deal of fun on Diablo III (HC mostly, it has the adrenaline, AH economy, no RMAH, and delightful yet pointless extra achievements), but I simply cannot imagine playing with a controller. I think it'd be too imprecise and inflexible, but I suppose time will tell. I also await seeing how they handle the graphics and physics on the new platforms, I dunno if it'll have the visceral punch that it has on PC.

As I said, time will tell. As far as this poll and most people I talk to are concerned, the PS versions won't fare well.

It was just a matter of time indeed. We're talking about Activision-Blizzard here. I'm sure the console players are going TO LOVE to grind for hours looking for that randomly generated item.

Anyway, after hearing that news, I have no faith in their Titan Project anymore, or any other thing coming from them, really. Fuck man, depressing times. All the cool developers, they're all gone.

If the game is ''free'' for those who already own the pc version, it might be worth a try but I can't imagine anyone buying it again 1 year later on ps3/ps4.

But to imagine that they put a team on this instead of actually fixing the game is a very wierd thing...

Why is this much different then say, Skyrim getting a super shitty / bugged PC version on release?

Oh my god, I'm so glad I've quit. I will never ever install this fucking piece of shit on my PC again. Seriously, I'm done with this casual buggy beta bullshit. Jesus, I don't think I've been so pissed by virtual world like this ever...

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:

Mother of god...lol

Well, the news is kinda....well, dont really know how to feel. Im pretty letdown by D3 in general. I put like 300 hours into the game, so I feel it was worth the money overall. But with all the changes, patches, gold bots, drop rates so openly being manipulated, rares, auction house, RMAH, legendaries, and so on and so on. I kinda wish I didnt spend the money.

The whole game was one giant rollerocaster ride that mostly made me cringe and look back in awe for what they were doing to the game. At least Jay "fuck that looser" wilson is out right? well, im still pretty sure the game is on a downward spiral. The news of it being released on a console...well honestly I dont give a shit. I havent touched the game in over 6 months now, if not more.

I can at least say that firsthand how all the game developed that I wont be buying any diablo related games again in the furture. I'll perhaps return when Diablo 4 comes out.

So the game was designed for consoles... but they redesigned everything for the actual console release anyway? Oh wait, logic is probably not welcome here. Was SC1 ruined too since it got a console port?

They are constantly changing D3 over and over again because it's still in Beta anyway.

BAZINGA!

Sc1 was never announced as a planned Console game from the start. They just ported the PC game over as is, with a different control scheme.

D3 was announced as an upcoming console game long before release day.

Just be glad SC2 is too complicated to be played on a console, or the same console designers would of fucked up even more of SC2 than they already have.

Diablo 3 was fucked from day 1 from the greedy of the console need
