theres completely different programming required for each system. I very much doubt it would be possible to have the same online service if they made the game for different systems. (Console / PC)
it wouldnt, its just that none does it. they prefer to keep controllers as standard. Even though there are usb ports (even PS2 has 2) theres nothing thats used on pc thats compatible with it. But if they do add mouse/keyboard they'll just make the consoles a not upgradeable computer. They already integrated hard disks. Now all they're missing is an OS and keyboard/mouse and its a computer
needs different programming and OS to make it compatible with a mouse and a keyboard. same to allow the player to change the key bindings himself. see, the games in a console offer zero to none customization in most cases both control wise and moding. But if u check it better u'll see that the consoles are trying to become something like PCs. usb slots, hard disks etc.
it can only play games, and thats what it is optimized for.
thats right, thats even 1 more reason not to be on a console. not upgradeable, they do less than a PC (we can check both internet, gaming, do some work etc) and the games are most of the time better for the PC. The lifetime of the consoles dropped too, its about the same as a computers. Only computers have cheaper games too
i mean the console isnt upgradeable, and mainly on the mechanical parts. See, Graphics will always remain the same. their CPU power aswell. The things you can upgrade barely make a difference.
and what i ment with the games being better i was mainly thinking of the First Person Shooters (mouse+keyboard are just unbeatable) and RTS (mouse and some key bindings are better, and thats not just my opinion). Only games that are funnier to play on consoles are the sports games but if you buy a controller u have the exact same feeling on PC too.
not that much of an issue if u arent upgrading all the time. Oblivion for example looks better on PC medium details than on any console. And the bugs exist everywhere. With the pcs u can easily fix them, on the consoles, the ones that are there, will stay there. And i've seen a PS2 crash, its not like things like that only happen on consoles. I'm playing with a 2 years old system and can play all actual games without any crashes/problems on med-high details (using a cheap graphics card). In about a year i'll upgrade the graphics cards with 2 new (SLi baby) and will have my system updated for another 3 years. Theres gonna be a PS 4 by then that will cost around 700 euro/$ too. And only thing they can do is play games and watch dvds (or blue-ray, whatever).
not all of us have the money to use both consoles and PCs. i mainly use consoles to play together with friends (pro evo soccer tournaments etc) and my PC for my serious gaming. its all a matter of how much you can pay for gaming and how much you are willing to pay.
since i dont own one i guess its my mistake. i just had the logical thought that "if a game isnt installed how can it be patched?"
but i'll stick to what u said since, as i mentioned, i dont have an Xbox 360.
No!!! console will be the death of us all.
First we will be gimped hard with kiddy grade mindless playing, take you by the hand short of way(look at fable, Do I need say more?) and second they will do some crappy ui to help the lousy controllers be more effective (it will go oblivion sooner or later if they go this way).
It makes me sick to the bones all the fanboys defending the consoles, it is the worst. The bane of the creative mind.
The only thing good about consoles you don't need to change spec every 3 years & ps3 still don't have useful hacking tools on the market.
You cannot get a game to pc + console without it having an effect on the pc version, present game or future releases.
haha, please, you know the 360 and ps3 can easely take anything graphics wise for atleast 2 years.
whats the big deal when they decide to also develop it for consoles? hmm wait i think i got it, then there would be 1 less argument for the console haters out there, am i right?
PCs got a game that consoles couldn't handle a year ago . . . . And many, many more this year.
I really dont think Diablo 3 will be too taxing on any of the consoles except for the wii of course....360 and the ps3 should be able to handle it just fine, the only reall issue would be control configuration.

diablo was on PS1, but d2 wasnt on PS2 (or PS1) so why would D3 be on a console. i think the graphics might be to demanding for the console, WOW isnt on console, and i think the diablo graphics even if it is in a kind of updated isometirc view, would still be too taxing on the console, so it is best for it to stay on PC.
but that is just my oppinion
we don't know the specs on D3 yet and im sure ps3 can handle d3

diablo 3 would be to taxing for the console? are you high? do you know how powerful the 360 and ps3 are? a hella lot better then ur computer. ill tell u that much.
i mean if we can run gears 2...i think we can run D3...so dont talk unless u know ur facts.
The problem when companies start to focus on consoles is that the PC just ends up getting crappy ports which have clunky controls, horrible interfaces and poor performance. Or even worse than that when games are designed to be cross-platform there are always compromises to gameplay to either suit the console controls or gamer demographic.
That is why PC Gamers don't want their favourite PC games to go to the consoles.
