I love the Ps3 console, the xbox is bottomless C***....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.

what you guys think?

If they wanna put D3 on the consoles, then make it a different diablo game.
Like a standalone expansion, or spin off kind of thing. ^-^

NO!!! Stay away from consoles Blizzard! We are computer game fans, not pay to play 360 and PS3 suck ups. :mad:

Agreed, most games that start on PC and go for concole becomes console orientated and nerf IMHO

am against a console release. It would push the development of the game back for at least a year or more.

If they did release it on a console, I can't imagine it would delay the PC version. Their previous console games ("Diablo" on the PS1 and "Starcraft 64" on the N64) came [B]long[/B'] after the PC versions were released. So yeah, no worries there.

pffft control for ANY game on a console suck

In your opinion. If it doesn't affect the game for PC, it doesn't matter what you think, since you won't be playing it on a console. All it means is more money for Blizzard.

Besides, the PS3 has USB ports that you can hook a mouse/keyboard in to, and bam, same playing experience on a nice, wide, HDTV. I'm not sure if the Xbox 360 has any, but if it does, good for the 360. And the Wii... Eh, it has playability, but it won't be able to give us the graphics needed.

Guys, controls would be easy both 360/PS3 have analog controls 1 could control movement the other the cursor, as for pay to play who's smoking crack? PS3 is free and majority of X360 users already pay for the dumb service. Plus the sales would go even higher w/ those who have consoles. Don't hate consoles, if your a PC person just don't buy the damn thing. For those of us who have nice TV's we wanna play D3 on them. Don't hate, just be greatful this damn game is even being announced.

Console version for 360 and PS3, (most likely 360, easiest to port over too) That would be cool.

I would still play PC version of course, hell, im even waiting for Fable 2 for PC before I play it.

There is a rumor backed by some big time developers, that Microsoft is in the process of making a motion control add on kind of like the Wii. Imagine the whole mouse mechanics in a Wii like controller, for the 360. Wouldn't that be great?!
I think the Wii is just to underpowered for D3. I mean, Blizzard did make a Diablo port for the PSone back in the day. Yes it was horrible but it is still one "HELL" of a collectors item.
Thanks

As I, and others, have said already...a port shouldn't be too difficult when the systems can pretty easily offer mouse and keyboard compatibility. The Wii demands you buy/have certain controllers for certain games.....tbh, Diablo could port over with the caveat that it only plays via keyboard and mouse, and not only would it be a hit, but it would probably be the trendsetter and create a much larger movement of games following that example to make easier and more faithful ports of complex computer games that would be difficult to play via controller.

even with compatibility, consoles interwebz are still inferior to PC

1 word : ventrilo

Blizzard willl not stop focus on computer but i can see them later putting it on PS 3 or 360. But i can not see them putting it on Wii

GTFO you stupid console fan boys. Go play your stupid halo and cod and whine like ^%$#@!~ if your going to say you wan't Diablo 3 for the 360 or ps3. You don't deserver another game after microsoft is on a rampage stealing all the exlclusives so GTFO already! It's a PC game and if it doesn't stay like that BLizzard Is a.... i'm not even going to go there.

Blizzard's always been a PC game maker and the game will be at its best on PC.

It would be the same graphics-wise on any nex-gen game system besides the Wii, so I'm guessing you mean control-wise? In that case I'd like to point again (again) that at least the PS3 has more than enough USB ports for a mouse and keyboard, allowing for playability the same as on a PC. The Xbox 360 doesn't have USB ports, but there might be some hardware upgrade you can buy for it that let's it have them- not sure about that.

This is called trolling/flaming. It is against forum posting policy (you can read the rules here: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/announcement.php?f=2.)

No flaming (including: racial/sexual/religious/medical slurs)

"Flaming" basically means "insulting". So, posting something insulting directed at another member or group of members is a no-no.

No trolling

Trolling basically means "posting a controversial point of view with the only intent of causing an argument", in this case a good example would be someone going along to one of the forums and posting something like "this site sucks!" - It is not only unproductive but is also likely to start an argument. This is also includes the intentional creation of a topic that will invoke an argument simply for the sake of conflict.

Diablo belongs on the computer. But if it had to go somewhere else, I'd put a Diablo title on the DS.

The Nintendo DS certainly is not a super powerful machine, but it sure is fun and popular (70 million of those little suckers have been sold).

They should make a Diablo game for it forget the Wii/PS3/Xbox360.... give me a portable Diablo!

The stylus/touch screen is similar and I think better than a mouse in many ways. A Diablo game for the DS would just rock. It wouldn't be visually all that crazy... but hey, Diablo is about the game play and the DS has plenty of game, the controls would translate really good, point and click becomes point and tap lol

Could care less if they port it or not,what i would love to see are areas for adults and areas for kids,so i dont have to be surrounded by immature people calling each other gay and all other kinds of disparaging remarks...gets old,main reason i dont play WOW

I dont want to play d2 anymore,i want D3,its 2008 folksits called progress,if you want to play d2,go ahead,no one is stopping you,I Want the future!!!

I thinks it might do well on a console but personally i wouldnt wait around for a port of it when it will be out for the PC/Mac 1st anyways, im not waiting for it longer than i have to.

As for changing the game control, the changes would be least dramatic on the wii due to its point and click abilities. However, based on what I've seen, I'm not sure the wii's inferior graphic system could handle D3. Similarly, the DS would work well for the controls, but definitely wouldn't be able to handle the graphics. Still, I'd love to have the game be released on either one of those systems since those are the ones I have Either way I'm not wating for it and will buy a new computer if necessary
