★ Kani ★ Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Blizzard is still playing coy about Diablo 3 on consoles, talking about the possibility without actually formally announcing anything. During a Gamescom press conference, lead designer Josh Mosqueira said Blizzard is "very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console." According to Eurogamer, he followed up by affirming that the company is "trying to build the best console team at Blizzard" with the express intent of working on Diablo. Last year, Blizzard said it was "exploring a Diablo-related concept." Earlier this year, CEO Mike Morhaime said the company was "doing an investigation" into the idea of Diablo on consoles. Then in June, it posted a job listing for a "PlayStation 3 Specialist" -- OK, that one's not particularly coy. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquid ocelot Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 This isnt full public beta yet, it's for friends and family of blizz employees, so it very very close. Seems quite nice, but..has slight wow feel to it o.0 apparently the client has leaked...installing now, but you probably cant do much with it until you get a key....who cares I'm going to enjoy the menus Some guy parsed the whole db from diablo3 on the client:http://wowbox.tw/d3/ Some spoilers there...and lots of item information etc. Pony level confirmend lol And there is a staff of cow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueelvis_RoXXX Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Blizzard Confident of Diablo III Console Control Style The Diablo III beta is getting into full swing, with the first wave of beta invites having been sent out to the masses of Battle.net. The game on PC has a strong and loyal following, but console gamers have been asking for Diablo as well, and Blizzard has been actively exploring the possibility of bringing Diablo III to home consoles. More over, Jay Wilson recently spoke about the controls of Diablo III and why he thinks they lend themselves well to consoles. Wilson told PC Gamer that the controller based method works well with the game: "One of the reasons why we're exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console.."With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, I've been 'Oh this feels even better, with direct control...'", he continued. Blizzard hasn't confirmed that a console version of the game is coming at this point, but has been pretty active in talking about the possibilities of it. Wilson noted that if Blizzard intends to bring the game to consoles, a PC controller based scheme is probably on the horizon as well. "I can pretty much guarantee that if we decide to do a console version that we will look to support a pad on the PC," said Wilson. "But initially with release I don't think we'll be ready."

landmarktiger Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Pretty sure they would have launched Starcraft 2 on consoles also if there was some way to play it with a controller without tearing your hair off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
★ Kani ★ Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It is not that it is impossible or something. Look at Dragon Age interface.. It is not that bad.. Yeah, you need to dig deep when you have lots of items.. but it is not that bad.. may be a configurable Menu wheel would do wonders.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landmarktiger Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Diablo 3 to launch in early 2012, beta period extended haha i didnt expect anything else from a blizzard game. But to be honest id rather have it this way than have blizz sucumb to corporate deadline pressures and put out an half assed game and charge us for the rest of it through DLC. Atleast this way they get to finish the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saumil Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 If anything, early 2012 is much earlier than expected. I honestly wasn't expecting it sooner than mid 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoctor Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 they really should stop beating around the bush and announce the console versions as well. diablo would work perfectly with a controller, so it really is a no brainer. also, giantbomb has a 90 minute quick look of the beta up on their site. low quality, 450mb download but it's the best gameplay footage so far i guess.

Tyler Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Blizzard has put up most of the item list up on their site including pics and base stats. First the skill trees and now this? Part of the fun in a game like Diablo is discovering all this good stuff in-game. It's like they're releasing half the game before its officially out.

ScrewyAurum Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 The skull looks bad-a*s! Imagine somehow managing to mount that thing on the hood on your car! Also as a long time diablo fan I'd really enjoy watching the behind the scenes DVD and Blu-Ray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
