I love the Ps3 console xbox is whatever...however Diablo is known for its exellence in the PC gaming industry, please do not release it on any console, it wont be worth it, there many great games on those consoles and i dont think you would want to release it on consoles, because think of it economically. More D# console games means less PC games sold and this is being skepticall on hoe the games really going to be on consoles, also not many people do have these consoles and are PC gamers, for example college students( you might be against me on this, but atleast its resonable.), PC is what generates these games to be so great, the feel of it and the gameplay, i cant imagine playing D3 on my ps3 on a birdeye view, it just not the same feel. And how bout the communication idealogy, i dnt think i can play d3 with voicechat, i love the chating concept of the game it brings it more appeal,addiction,and exitment. (you dont want some idiot yelling at you nonstop becasue you were quicker to pick up the item drop). its pointless. D3 was made specifically for PC, Blizzard dont go out of your way and strenght to try to make more money for example. (if you want that promise us that well play on a safe bnet always with constant patches for the players, and then charge us the monthly fee). basically long story short no consoles for diablo its not worth the trying or work, diablos for PC and PC only.
If they port it to consoles later and make don't even take the console version into consideration when making the PC version than I couldn't care less. However if they sacrifice PC gameplay to make it work on the console then I will be very unhappy.
I think if they were going to do a console version of any of their franchises they'd best rework the game structures for it. (Like what they were doing with StarCraft Ghost before it became vaporware, turning an RTS in a TPS or whatever)
Dunno what they would do in Diablo's case though.. making an isometric Action-RPG is definitely viable on a console, and with XBL you wouldn't even really need a Battle.net or a monthly fee (just a yearly fee of course). Actually I think that would be pretty kickass, except for the gay fact you'd be paying for all the small downloadable content they'd release.

While agree, with what you've said, a lot of times games end up better when they are designed with consoles in mind. All of the stream-lining that you have do to make a game playable on a console, makes the game better(most of the time).
I however, don't think diablo is one of those games.
agree console version=horrible.....im not getting this from out of no where..... when you log on to diablofans.com read the latest news section, they have a interview with rob pardo, in which it says there may be a console version just read it, its news from today july 4, 2nd one from the top. ( i dont belive in anything posted, but this is rob pardo talking)

don't mind me, I am still pissed off about Oblivion
don't mind me, I am still pissed off about Oblivion
I only played it on the 360, and thought it was amazing. Was is worse than Morrowind on PC?
I thought the quests were about 50,000 times better in Oblivion. I quite playing morrowind when I got the quest "Collect 3 cure blight potions and bring them back to me." What Bullshit.
Just take a look at the countless mods made in an attempt to fix things like goofy massive UI etc, menu systems hobbled to work on xbox etc. Not to mention some of the strange decisions that seem to have been made to make it work on consoles such as the cities being separate world spaces etc. This has been covered many times over there and there were a LOT of people rather angered by it, but is not really a discussion for these forums!
On the console oblivion was sh*t compare to the Pc, the game needed tons of patch and the mod community. without it = worse ever.
The community built the game more than the developers will ever do.
I don't see it coming out on console b/c of 1 reason. Online play would be basically impossible seeing as battle.net is blizzard's deal, xbox live obviously is microsofts deal, and ps3 with sony's deal. They could of course do what they did with Diablo for playstation, but it would be pointless.

Or maybe it would horribly suck, who knows.

Consoles are known for Cheap, yet as Powerful as $1000+ PCs!
I HATE to spend $1000+ on a good PC, I don't need, just to play a couple of games!
What's the point in that?
Also, these days, games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc PROVES a 2.5D game can Totally be played on Consoles, withOUT a mouse.
So, unlikely you, I URGE Blizzard to reconsider, and DO put it out on consoles. So, for me, I can save my $$$$ for MORE important things!
The DS is way to week to handle a real diablo III. Even though the Zelda was great on the DS, it real didn't have the "100 enemies at once" gameplay.

If your insane, but still sane enough to know it, are you insane or sane?
but HOW does it make the game bad just the game itself from the devs?
