The chances of Diablo3 going to consoles

I'm usually not the person to start a flame war but I think many of us can see the possibility of D3 going to consoles, otherwise I won't be making this thread. I think all of this goes back to the collaboration between Blizzard and Activision. With that said, I want to know if any of you think it'll be going to the consoles and if it does, what will be your reaction?

Just so you know, I love the diablo series as muh as everyone else and all I've ever wanted is to play the game in its perfect form.

I couldn't care less if it did. I would still be getting it for PC. I just don't like the idea of a controller for D3.

Recall what happened with Starcraft: Ghost.

That should answer your question.

There would be a control problem, unless your using a barbarian (few to no spells required to cast) then I don't see how it will be solved

Oh i see what you did there.

Just stick a $50 video card in your PC if you want to play it so badly when it comes out.

If it does we all know it wont be on PS3 because of this. :lol:

that said, it has 0% chance on either.

don't know, D1 was on playstation, so it's not impossible to implement the game system.

However, my reaction?

"why the hell would you want to play D3 on a console?"

0% chance it will come to consoles.

I would much rather play it on a console for 2 reasons 1) Graphics will the same maybe a bit better on PC.(D3 is no graphical masterpiece) 2)Trophys and Achievements make a game more goal oriented.djsifer01

You can use a analog stick and the X button for example. Analog to move and buttons for commands and such.djsifer01

Consolites won't take to kindly to Diablo 3, so it probably wont sell as well as the PC version.

You're grasping for straws that aren't there. Bottom line a port of D3 on to consoles would have to be "dumbed down" to make the controllers fit all the functions, and even if that's achieved the gameplay would be awkward and unintuitive.

Battle.net has never been on any consoles, so no it wont happen.

No. Why? Like many great PC games console ports suck ass.

Not to mention Blizzard released Starcraft 64 for the N64, and Diablo for the PS1 long before Activision came over to squeeze their udders.

Diablo 3 is not comming to consoles.

[QUOTE="djsifer01"][QUOTE="zarshack"] 1 reason why it wont be on consoles. its a point and click action RPG. that does not translate well to a control pad.

Actually they turned out pretty good. The 360 and PS3 are way more advanced systems .-Pred-Alien-

What? Starcraft 64 was awful.

Diablo wasn't too bad on Playstation actually, but given it was a Blizzard game, it was a severe let down in the amount of polish.

Of course the 360 and PS3 are more powerful, but Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 are going to be more demanding games. Blizzard isn't really adept at console development (hence cancelling Ghost), so I can't really see them bothering.

the controls and online service would be so dumbed down that it would be sad for pc players to play, but still a good idea to make even more profit off the development cost for the game, and for players who dont game at all on there pc getting to experience it.

Actually ghost is indefinitely posponed. And I thought it was to do with part of the team quitting.

i've played both diablos and am still playing diablo 2..it wouldn't work very well on any console. Action RPGs are terrible on consoles, remember those baldur's gate games last gen? They need to leave Diablo 3 on PC where it belongs.

and to whoever said put a trophy system...that doesnt work so smoothly in the diablo universe. I'd rather have better gear than a trophy

There would be a control problem, unless your using a barbarian (few to no spells required to cast) then I don't see how it will be solved

0% Chance, especially since Diablo 3 heavily relies on Battle.net 2.0, AND the only nextgen console that allows for a very open online system (PS3) is being boycotted by Activision due to how expensive it is to develop for. Also, a Blizzard game hasn't hit a console in over 10 years, and now Blizzard is possibly the richest of all the dev houses. That success alone points to them not needing a console release.

Sacred 2 =/= Diablo

Play top level Diablo 2 on Hardcore, please.

It would be awsome if it did, i dont see why not either more money for Blizzard.djsifer01

Then why doesn't every developer go multiplatform if it means "more money"?

:| If I get to play Monster Hunter on my PSP very fine(with few buttons & one analog stick) then there is 100% no problem playing Diablo III on 360/PS3. Of course I'm not saying it will be better on consoles but it will play just fine, the mechanics of the game is simple and it doesn't require many keyboard buttons and even if it did, Blizzard can come up with a way to implement it very well. Of course PC will be where Diablo III really belongs to but if Blizzard releases the game on consoles they'll get more money in their wallet which they deserve.abuabed

I'm going to state again what I stated just above to someone with a very similar post:

Monster Hunter =/= Diablo. Please play Diablo 2 at the highest levels on Hardcore before making a comment on how Diablo would play on a controller.
