German Site Lists A PS3 Diablo 3 Night Before E3

Bogus

Unlikely. Can't see Blizzard giving any of their money to Sony (or M$ for that matter) and they certainly will not let anyone get a slice of their auction house

This game needs a lot of work, I have never tried to convince my self more that I was having fun playing it. If this came to consoles I wouldn't buy it. I already wasted money on it once.

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="DarkOfKnight"] More like LOL at PC for losing it.DarkOfKnight

Left trigger - left mouse, right trigger - right mouse

4 face buttons would be your skills

one of the bumpers would be your potion

You would move with joysticks

Seems pretty easy to me.

There's 7 (including potion) skills, and either way they could just copy DS3's control scheme.

Yeah but it's a point and click, pretty hard to be accurate with aiming spells, picking up loot, etc without a mouse.

It wouldn't play well on a gamepad I wouldn't think, would be interesting to see how they would do it though. But if it did come to PS3 with KB + Mouse support, I can easily see it working. :P

Great game, loving it still.

Right joystick to switch targets or face towards the target :P, not saying it will be anywhere close to keyboard and mouse but it could be done if they tried. It worked with Torchlight.

Maybe it is doable, but I've never experienced it myself, and it seems like it'd feel terrible.

Is there a demo for Torchlight on the Live marketplace? I really wanted to try it on the 360 to see how it played but didn't want to buy it again. :P

If this is true, Sony wins E3. I'd be first in line to have both copies of PC and PS3. Since my laptop is in for repair right now it would be MIGHTY handy to have a PS3 copy!

Yeah there should be a trial under xbox arcade

A warning for you... D3 is a fantastic singple player experience ONLY if you are diablo fan. If you are not and expecting something BIG youll get dissapointed. Also , after 2 60s and more than 160hours in game i can clearly say that D3 is a frustrating and bad online experience for too many reasons. Even if comes to PS3 , i advice you to make a search of 2 before you spend your shiny 60 dollars. Multiplayer experience is BAD and single player one isnt something to wow if youre not diablo fan. Good addition to Ps3 library if its true , its diablo anyways but... Dont get so excited. Thats a warning from a Diablo veteran and a hermit.AzatiS

The problem with your arguement is even though the game has some iffy features (bad lag, lots of maintenance,) its still so damn good and so damn addicting that its worth the 60 bucks regardless. Like you said already, it has all these 'dissapointments' but you STILL put 160 hours into it. Do you have any idea how many people dish out 60 bucks for a 10-20-30 hour game? Now imagine how many hours someone who doesnt give 2 **** about those dissapointments would put into the game. I'm 100+ hours into it so far btw and while its had its issues, it has been getting better and better since launch. Over 6 million copies sold, something must be right.

well, there have been diablo games on console before, It has never been a possability that was outside the realm of possibility.

But time will tell I suppose ^^

Consolites are dreaming if they think Diablo 3 is coming to consoles any time soon.

This is BLIZZARD we're talking about.

If it comes out, it'll be like end of 2013, earliest.

And by then, anyone who was going to buy the game would have bought it anyway.

The game sold over 6.5 million units in the first week. Just how large an untapped market will there be a year from now?

Diablo3 "better with kinect".

Lol.

Diablo on gamepad is easy.

Just use the same control scheme as Alien Breed.

Right stick aim

Left stick move

Bumpers camera

Right trigger - attack

Left trigger - stay in place

Then use buttons for potions and stuff

Boom, easy

Pay no nevermind to him. He's a consolite, and consolites are obsessed with exclusives. It's all they got to talk about.

Nevermind that next gen, exclusives will be a rare thing. Basiclaly first party games. EVERYONE is going multiplat because thats what gets you the most return on investment.

I never understood why Blizzard didn't make Diablo 3 multiplat in the first place. It's one of the few big PC exclusives that could translate well onto consoles and fairly easily at that. It's not visually demanding and the gameplay is simplistic enough. Blizzard cheated themselves out of millions of sales.

They want to control the DRM scheme.

If they go multiplat they have to give up DRM to XBL/PSN.

Same reason it's not sold on Steam ya dig.

They could do alot of things but they would have to give up total control of distribution.

Getting a game onto XBL/PSN (or Steam for that matter) involves a very rigid set of terms.

Why you think EA made Origin instead of just putting their games on Steam.

Because they had a disagreement about the terms.

Diablo 3 has a chance to come to PSN because it's much more flexible and willing to give easy terms.

XBL are hardasses.

After playing Diablo 3, I can say with 100% certainty that the game will not work on consoles at all. The skill system is built for a mouse. It would require an extensive reworking of the entire skill system as well as looting system and inventory system.

In sort, it's not happening. If Diablo makes it to the consoles it will be a console specific version, not a port of Diablo 3.

I'm sure they are crying into their golden handkerchiefs, specially after getting the terrible news that they sold over 6.5 million units in a week, NOT counting severla Asian terrotories where the game is incredibly popular.

Seriously. They didn't loose jack all. Anyone interested in playing Diablo 3 almost certianly can do so. You don't need a lot of hardware muscle to play the game. The game will easily sell over 10 million in a year. Just how many more people woudl have bought it if it went to console? A million more?

Given that they have COMPLETE control of the game on PC, and NONE on consoles, and given how successful they have been on PC, I really don't see the need to go multi-plat fo rthem.

I do think they will.... eventually. But it'll be a cheap port to rake in a million more sales from consolites.

Wasdie

Or in other words, what he said.

It won't be a direct port. It'll be a console specific version (read, dumbed down).

Low system requirements = multiplat

Who doesn't own a computer in 2012?

Will the PS3 version actually work at launch?

If the 360 does not get it you can thank Microsoft for consistant sick moves about how XBL should be used. But I cannot see this not coming to the 360 if the PS3 gets it.

ZombieKiller7

Not at all.

Tribes Ascend has low system requirements, LoL and DotA 2 have low system requirements, WoW has low system requirements. Your argument is so flawed I think my IQ has dropped by reading it.

I wouldn't say dumed down, I would just say different. You can't dumb down Diablo style gameplay any further. They just need to rework the skills so that they work with an analog stick. That wouldn't be that difficult if you build the game with a controller in mind.

What I mean is you can play some of those games on a machine you would already own whether or not you were playing games.

How does that equate to "Low system requirements = multiplat"?

For the record, a lot of new PC's today cannot run even basic games. They've ditched the dedicated GPU in favor of APUs to save battery life and bring the price down.
