Blizzard won't make a game for a platform unless the controls fit perfectly. You can't make the controls for D3 fit on consoles, at least not in the glorious majesty that Blizzard demands.

Stop making excuses and just do a minor upgrade of your PC so you to can play it.

You guys need to consider the fact that Blizzard hasn't released a game in many years. Things have changed now. There are tons of console users who switched from PC gaming and porting to the 360 is easy as hell.

Blizzard isn't worried about not having enough PC gamers to play their games. Porting to the 360 is easy as hell I agree but you can't port controls. Blizzard themselfs said if their games don't feel right when you play them they arn't comming out.

yeah, a game like that would never work on consoles   But seriously though, I don't think diablo3 will come to consoles. Thats just not Blizzard's style. However, that is activision's style. Maybe they will change their corporate philosophy now that they've merged.

except that

-Valve never had a long history of PC-only development

-Valve never said HL isn;t coming to consoles, in fact Dreamcast port was annouced pretty quickly

to sum up: your post is an epic failure :)

Uhh.. Diablo 3 isn't a RPG, it's like DotA but a thousand times better. It could be fine on PS3 with kb and mouse, but people would buy it on pc since I don't think most people have a kb and mouse on their PS3. That's why blizzard won't do it.

yeah, but they hired 3rd party dev to do it, then they bought the dev and then when they csnceled the game they've closed down every console team they had and either fired people or moved them into their PC teams. This doesn;t exsctly bode well for console Blizzard games, doesn;t it?

Yes, they did, that's why I said the last console game released. SC: Ghost was cancelled since it wasn't up to scratch.
EDIT: Correction, it was postponed indefintly.

Blizzard should just stick to PC's. It's not like they need console gamers money with the killing they are making off of WoW.

Oh yeah? Well, PC has Crysis and Steam!

Not sure what that even means, but it seems there can't be a PC thread without those two things being mentioned as if it trumps all other comments.

Well Crysis has the best graphics out there and Steam is an online gaming service that is free. So basically one could say that PC has the best graphics and the best onine service by bringing those two up.

I agree. How could they ever replicate rapidly clicking a mouse button millions of times on a controller? I don't see how its possible.

Yeah,and Battle For Middle Earth 2 scored an 8.6 on the 360.

That doesn't change the fact that they are both hugely inferior to their PC counterparts. If it wasn't inferior,it would have received the same score.

If someone played Diablo on consoles without ever playing it on PC,they would wonder what all the hype is about. That basically sums it up.

The real difference is in the mouse movement. You can move your mouse around the screen a lot faster than the 360 controller and could then do pretty much any game function much faster. Oh, and your PC won't RROD while your playing it.

There is a lot more involved in combat than just bashing the mouse button repeatedly. On a micromanaging level, the sheer depth of combat in a Diablo game is unrivaled. With the edition of enchantments which allow for varied strategies and destructible environments, a controller wouldn't be able to achieve the same kind of micromanaging that a mouse can. Thats why Blizzard stated that, "The only way we will even consider bringing Diablo 3 to consoles is if we can replicate the same kind of combat as on the PCs". Its not an easy task.

When a game drops 1.3 points just by being on a different platform I'd call that massively inferior. If they made D3 for consoles it would be a great game, just not even close to as good as the PC version.

Kind of hard when you have five times as many AAes (in this generation alone) as the leading console and the most AAA titles. Standards are much higher on the PC. There are dozens of games on the PC that could have easily made AAAA on consoles.

Blizzard is know for making games only if they are the best they can be. They wouldn't put a game that is already the best it can be on a platform that makes it worse. Blizzard has enough money to care more about reputation then a little more green.

And why not just buy the PC version if you know it is the superior version? Not like they are making it inaccessible to mainstream PCs.

I do have one very good example where that isnt the case, but I don't feel like playing devil's advocate. (haha pun!)
