this is really annoying... THE PS3 = A PC it can run linux, you use a keyboard and mouse, it has 4usb ports! no one has stated anthing about a console version of the game
aahhrrg, I can't wait all the way until October before D3 may or may not be announced!
To be honest though, my biggest fear is that the big day finally comes, i get my shiney new copy of D3, install it, log on and hate it.... wakes me up in cold sweats that does
If anything it would be really cool to have Diablo3 on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live and PS3. These consoles have next-gen technology and to have a D3 on to would be INSANE!!!!! PC is fine but I think the environment could fully expand to a great universe with these console systems. I would say if they want their company to grow and become stronger and more fun they would have all Blizzard games on console aswell as PC. Yet again D3 was always the hack N slash rpg for the PC not for the console.

I doubt it. You can't submerge yourself as much into console games because they are meant for more casual gamers. The controls, the powers, the abilities, the characters themselves on D2 alone are too much for a simple controller to handle, much less Diablo 3. If Diablo 3 goes to console, Blizzard will suffer greatly, because this means they will either have to make two different versions of the game that can't play with each other, or they will have to simplify the PC version to accommodate the console version, and that will definitely cause an uproar.
No, console is definitely NOT a route any of the three current Blizzard franchises should ever take. Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo should never be on a console, it would disrupt the story, and make it harder for fans to be able to follow it. Perhaps a new franchise can be made into the console platform, but none of the existing ones can ever bridge that gap. That is what Blizzard realized when they tried out Starcraft: Ghost, and that is why they have postponed it indefinitely.
Diablo 1 was very simple compared to Diablo 2. No Skill points, no combo skills like Hammer+Concentration, and especially not as much havoc. On a PC you have lots of keys, lots of controls, and we have all learned to use them all as if another piece of our body. With all that in mind, I seriously doubt someone with a controller can ever do Uber Tristram.
D1 on a console was horrendous, horrific controls and 2 players on same screen...wtf?
Diablo 1 on the ps1 was bad.. but 2 people on the same screen actually sounds good to me - hate it when people can't stay together on Diablo 1 and everyone complains "stay together!!!" but if you Had to stay together because of mechanics, that would be leetskeet

Limited vision, and if someone is forced outside the screen they don't know where the hell they are or going, or whats around them, so they die. It may be handy for a bit, but in a great group you don't have that problem. A good team stays together due to discipline, not because they were forced.
Anyway, Blizzard doesn't have great experiences with console ports, so I'd say D3 for any console is a nay. The Linux compability is a probable, see the job offerings and the history of linux versions of previous games. I don't own a PS3 yet so I can't say if it would work on it or not, I stay on the safe side and take for granted it will have major bugs.. But now that it came to it, I wonder why has it come to this, Blizzard usually aims for average built PCs, so most people won't have trouble in playing the game. Why are we willing to play on a PS3 when it's not gonna use its full potential?
Starcraft 2 is going to be out for Xbox 360, if I'm not mistaken?
Never heard of it neither, still I believe it would not be as good as the PC version... Firstly the game (it would also apply to a D3 game in case it was rumoured to be released on PS3 or Xbox360) would not take full advantage of the system's capacity (graphical mainly) because Blizzard always stated its games were aimed to the largest possible audience, take SC2 for instance, it has good graphics, but they're not aiming for extreme gamers with their $6000+ custom-built PC. And then, it would cost so much more to produce a port which wouldn't even be as appealing as the original. And seriously, I'll give my opinion: playing RTS on consoles sucks... even with keyboard and mause, the loading and the console's HUD make it terrible...

/Agree, console RTS' aren't that amazing as well as with the flop of starcraft ghost whose to say when blizzard will return to consoles
Hey whats up with all the job openings for a "top secret" game on blizzard website? Some of them say next-gen MMO. What about the other ones? Diablo 3 perhaps? If they are still looking for people to work on Diablo 3, then it probably wont come out for another couple of years.... http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/:confused:

You won't. No need to fear.
