I think we're all addicts to a greater or lesser extent, or else we wouldn't be here awaiting an unannounced game.
I think it's coming only for PC. You really need a mouse for D2, and I can't imagine D3 changing that aspect without taking away much of what makes Diablo special.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
You don't have the freedom of controls as a PC. Numberous keys to push and there are several commands needed for Diablo.
I don't think there are that many commands that a console's controller couldn't handle. Besides left click for attack, right click for magic (or the other way around, however you prefer it), and then you can assign hotkeys for favorite spells but that can all be easily done with a controller as well.
All this talk though, but I'm not convinced it won't come out on a PC first. Has anyone really known a Blizzard game so far not to come out on the PC first?
P.S.
Народ есть кто русский я английский не оч хорошо знаю =\ но вот про diablo 3 очень хотелось бы узнать, кто то может связаться в icq?
А что, собственно, хотелось бы узнать? ICQ нету... MSN разве что.

I totaly run out of keys on the keyboard, how do you imagine a controller handling all of it?
In any case, you can attach a keyboard to an XBOX.

Just what are you doing with all those keys in Diablo? A shot in the dark, but I reckon you can play at least 80 percent of the game entirely with your mouse.
Dunno... F1 is Bone Armor, S is Bone Wall, A is Bone Spirit, F,G,H,Y, are for various curses, I is for inventory, C is for Character, Mouse Button 3 - Map, Mouse Button 5 - show all objects... I guess I can throw some keys out, but I prefer not to.
If you are a barbarian, maybe. If you are a necro, no.
Say on a 360 controller, besides the two main triggers, you have the two bumpers, the a,b,x,y buttons, and the d-pad with eight possible directions. And you can click the analogue toggles as well. I don't see how that couldn't work.
Exactly. The premise of D2 was that you had to click every time you wanted to hit. I would imagine that that would be more exhausting with your thumb on a controller.

But your thumbs aren't on the triggers. I would imagine the main attack button would be the right trigger like in most games.
I don't know. The main reason I want it for the PC is simply because the way you move in that game, it would be very difficult to point and click with an analogue controller as opposed to a mouse. Without the mouse, it'd be like playing it with a touch pad mouse and that's a real pain.
A touchpad mouse isn't that bad. I had my mouse stop working at one time, and we were in a village, so I ended up playing WarCraft III with a touchpad. Went through the whole Undead campaign. Had to learn a lot of hotkeys, too... but it wasn't so hard.
it could definatley be done on consoles but but the game wouldnt be the same as playing it on pc...it would almost be like playing dark aliance or champions.
i wouldnt mind seeing d3 on consoles but than again i wouldnt mind seeing d2 on consoles either.
touchpad is annoying lol...im so used to the mouse i wouldnt play until i got a new one.
If they get it only on PC then it would be as usual but later on they'll probably sell it to sony or xbox and they'll make a crappy version of it and not know the true potential of it...I just hope my PC can with stand whatever they make it to be
or the nintendo could use the wii and do some damage
