Console Version of Diablo 3: Offline Play, No RMAH, Not Exclusive to Sony
An interview with game designer Joshua Mosqueira popped up on Penny Arcade in which he explains that Diablo 3 is "not necessarily exclusive to Sony". Here's an excerpt from the interview, or you can view it in its entirety here.
DiabloFans Quote:
There was some question about the offline play of the game, something that’s impossible in the PC version of Diablo 3. It was confirmed to me that the game will be playable offline on the PlayStation 3.
Which leads to some other changes, namely the removal of the real money auction house. “The ecosystems on the PC and console are very different,” Mosqueira explained. “There were some technical reasons we had to go with offline, but again once you have an offline experience, even if we wanted to bring in the auction house, it just becomes problematic. How do you validate? How do you make sure there is no duping or any of that stuff?”
Hands On Console Gameplay
IGN posted a video where Senior Designer Mathew Berger shows how the game plays on the PS3. Here's also a quick summary of what has changed:
- The camera is more zoomed in.
- Boss battles have been changed up a bit to make for a more console feel.
- All classes appear to have a new dodge button.
- Fewer items drop but they're of greater quality.
- A small overall statistic of the item you loot shows up on the left of the screen, comparing it to what you currently have equipped and letting you equip the new item straight away if you so desire.
- Everything up to patch 1.0.7 is already in the game.
There is one more video that almost overlaps the one we posted earlier, but also shows a bit more of the game's UI.
And finally here is a picture of the controls posted on Facebook.
Same here.
What... lol
If you enjoy the game, why are you complaining. This is not an MMORPG, and still game getting updated in many manners, and even expanding on consoles. if anything you should be glad, cause this will extend your playtime more.
If you feel like "pc was a beta", and if thats ur personal opinion and not something some troll have said out of hate, then ur still confused between dedicating time to a game and whining about a game.
Because then you could harass people by VPNing your own account, and saying "Hey buddy, here's some free stuff I'm quitting D3 :)"
Then you report the account hacked and that guy gets banned.
Sherlock.
I love how the fanboy posts about how he's buying the console version too immediately responds to defend his glorious Blizzard from any dissent.
He has every right to complain about the game he paid for being nothing but a shitty, feature stripped beta for the console version.
You should also relax on trying to play the superiority game over others when you're the idiot buying a second copy of the same game and wearing that as some sort of badge of honor.

I wonder how much money blizzard etc is going to lose once it gets pirated to hell lol.
In an interview from yesterday it was confirmed that the console version will have all patches released for PC thus far and will include the majority of the changes from future patches but eventually the two will slowly separate from each other because the different platforms have different play styles.
