[QUOTE="thrones"]Why would it? This game doesn't operate like a hack and slash fully you know, assuming it's like the old diablo, dual analogs would not be the best setup.WillieBeamish

There are a number of ways that control could be implemented on a console. A tethered cursor that snaps to your character via left analog. Traditional movement w/ right analog. Quick menus, custom hot buttons on Dpad. Getting rid of the whole point & click mechanic all together..

People like you only look for excuses. If everyone was like you, there'd be no such thing as innovation. Any real gamer would want to see a franchise like this flourish on all platforms.

In other words "Dumb it down".

Yeah, because point & click is teh uber. Silly hermit!

Yeah, because Button mashing is teh uber..sillly Consolite!, pc games are for adults!...

That sounds horrible. Given the current combat system, juggling player movement and skill aiming would be extremely difficult with such a system, and far from the intuitive nature of using the mouse for movement/target selection and hotbar skills via the keyboard.

The game's skill syetem would likely have to change significantly in order to accomidate console controls. But that isn't going to happen ..and Blizzard said as much themselves: "We aren't willing to make compromises."

I just came up with those ideas in 5 seconds. I'm sure the brainiacs at blizzard surely have some awesome stuff up their sleeves. In my opinion, putting Diablo 3 only on the PC is the real compromise. If you're so in love with the PC version, thats fine by me. But there are millions of people who will pass this game up because they don't see it as being anything special when sticking it on the annoying PC platform.

why so serious?

I know, right? Its sad that some people have this inate animosity toward people who enjoy different gaming platforms. Its like their trust has been violated or something.

I prefer this type of game on a console, and some people act like I just cussed out their mother.

No, people have a tendency to despise arguments that lack any reason and logic.

What difference is it to you, if you're getting it on the PC? I guess I just don't understand why someone like you would hate on people enjoying this game on a console. Nobody said that the PC version has to be "dumbed down" in order for people to enjoy this game on the console, so how is this hurting you in any way?

let's see, given that Vivendi hasn't done this yet, and has owned Blizzard since...1998, apparently, I don't see why they would port Diablo but not a watered down version of, say, WoW instead.

and plus, I don't see why you would want it, seeing as how you've been bashing it since your account came into existence, or at least it seems that way.

But there are millions of people who will pass this game up because they don't see it as being anything special when sticking it on the annoying PC platform.WillieBeamish

So on PC, Diablo is "annoying" and "nothing special?"

Yet here you are desperately trying to convince us of the need for a console version of that game that's "nothing special?"

You must like Diablo very much, given your enthusiasm and many threads about the game..which contradicts your claims about Diablo on PC being "nothing special" (since, up until now, you can only play Diablo/Diablo II on PC..unless you count the PS1 version of Diablo, which can be safely disregarded)

Sorry, but the fail-level in such logic is is off the charts. Are you sure you aren't just a blind console fanboy? Because then some of what you're saying might begin to make sense.

Edit: Given the part I quoted, I realize this seems like I could be misinterpreting what you said -- however this post was written with some of the previous posts you've made in mind (in your other Diablo III threads.)

Edit2: For those who don't see the contradiction with just this, and to give a bit more context to this post: WillieBeamish has previously made threads calling Diablo III on PC "lackluster" not long after the very first glimpse of the game was given ..and yet here he is making thread after thread about the game. Why does he want such a "lackluster" title to come to consoles? The only reasonable explanation is that he's a console fanboy -- he trash talks the PC version ..but out the other side of his mouth, he turns around and says how awesome the game would be on consoles.

well no, usually when games to multiplat they get dumbed down because of a bigger auidence.

Morrowing to Obvlion

Fallout to Soon Fallout 3

System shock to Bioshock.

and so on..

sometimes a dev does good and the game is complex on both platforms, but some times games are dumbed down for the reason above

so if D3 when to consoles some pc gamers are to believe that it would be dumbed down to appeal to a wider auidence, while it may not be the case it still is possible..and has happened many of times, so in turn it would hurt us because a game that we once loved because of complexity and deep story was now turned into some 3 grade spelling B dialouge and the most simple gameplay sence super mario bros.

same thing im predicting with Fallout 3

, the fact that Vivendi stands to pocket an additional HALF A BILLION DOLLARS on a console port, do you honestly think Blizzard has ANY SAY in whether or not it gets the port?

WillieBeamish

half billion? So you think Diablo3 on consoles would sell 15-20mln? :D What a joke

At most it would sell 2-3mln combined and those wouldn't be additional sales, majority of those would be lost PC sales and a single PC sales is obviously a lot more important and worth more to both Blizzard and Vivendi than console one

Oh..don't worry, considering how unlikely console Diablo3 is he will soon be back to bashing it all the time :D

And really, Blizzard won't loose much on PC-only Diablo3. it will run on almost any modern PC, most of potential console customers will buy the game on PC, it's Blizzard, they do have this kind of effect even on console players

Unlucky for them. I'll be playing this while sitting on my sofa, watching my 46" Samsung and marvelling at yet another quality Blizzard title.

It isn't our fault you haven't worked out that you can now game on a PC in the same way you game on a console + get the versatility of the platform and *gasp* get this...you can also own a console!! Yes, this means you can have PC exclusives that take advantage of more customisable control systems AND console games.

Honestly this thread just smacks of an angry consolite, who can't figure out how to work a PC, getting his panties in a twist over missing out on a great game.

you are probably one of the guys who thought that RTS could not work on consoles. off the top of my head i can think of a few easy ways. chain lightning is easy point and shoot. for everythin else just cycle through targets like zelda or get auto targets like mass effect or KOTOR.

In my opinion, putting Diablo 3 only on the PC is the real compromise. If you're so in love with the PC version, thats fine by me. But there are millions of people who will pass this game up because they don't see it as being anything special when sticking it on the annoying PC platform.

That's a dumb idea. How would you teleport? Set off chain lightning, or traps, or even use point and click skills. Sounds like you never played D2.

you are probably one of the guys who thought that RTS could not work on consoles. off the top of my head i can think of a few easy ways. chain lightning is easy point and shoot. for everythin else just cycle through targets like zelda or get auto targets like mass effect or KOTOR.

Those kids look like they're actually having fun... unlike the assembly line of zombies stairing at their screens 6 inches in front of their faces! LOL

Just because the PC gamers aren't screaming, drooling and messing their pants doesn't mean they're not having fun.

Huh?

Also, auto-targetting would be absolutely awful for an isometric game built around point-and-click combat mechanics, as would target cycling, due to the pacing of the game.

What do you mean it isn't on 360? There were so many rumors about it coming to 360, plus Vivendi would be loosing billions by not porting, so obviously it simply HAS TO BE ON 360.

Really man...use some common sense ;)

1.) XBL

2.) i dont think 360 could handle that many players in one server

3.) much harder to micromanage things going on in your spell bar and around you with just 2 joysticks

just some reasons but there are alot more

Wow, this thread just went from horrible to pathetic.

Then again it's from WillieBeamish, who can't make any sense if he even tried to.

Why would Blizzard waste money porting Diablo 3 when they got a massive fanbase on PC from Diablo 2? Hell Diablo 2 is still selling pretty well so they have no reason to put it on consoles. Especially since that it's going to run on really old hardware, making it accessible for almost everyone, and that one of the lead designers even said that they don't plan to put it on consoles.

If that doesn't convince you that it's likely to not happen, then you're just a blind, blind console fanboy.

It wouldn't suprise me.

Infact they would be crazy not to put it on the 360. Who cares about exclusives? If I can play it on my system, then I don't care what other systems it goes on.

simple:

-Willie wants the game badly

-Willie learns it won't come to 360

-Willie is hurting

-Willie would rather pretend the game sucks solely because it;s not on 360 than to face the reality of being devoid of the game he wants :)

Where's the screen? Shining it on your wall = pathetic & ghetto! (I have a 106" Firehawk) And unlike PC gamers, console gamers are about 50 times more likely to actually have a big screen TV or projector in their living room.. I also like how all your hifi crap is sitting on your floor! LMAO.

For all you Hermits who bashed my threads about how dumb it would be if Blizzard didn't port D3 to its true platforms of choice, the 360 & PS3, I now laugh at you.

While not confirmed, the fact that Vivendi stands to pocket an additional HALF A BILLION DOLLARS on a console port, do you honestly think Blizzard has ANY SAY in whether or not it gets the port?

I hope they do port it....so I can laugh at how bad it looks, the lack of mods, its high price and so you can enjoy what PC gamers have enjoyed for decades.

You've been playing it for decades?? OMG, can i borrow your copy?
