Pretty sure it will. Design decisions will be made keeping console in mind and that's where things go bad. Diablo is a clickfest and should remain that.

 

Game is almost done and the fact that they are hiring port specialists now doesn't hint anything what you are saying. Also Blizzard is one of the last remaining PC developers who actually pay some attention to quality.

I partially agree. Look at The Witcher 2... a great game which is somehow held back by its clunky interface. Having said that, if they develop the console version separately then it should be an issue. Look at Torchlight, works perfectly as clickfest on the PC and a hack-n-slash RPG on the 360.

A console port won't affect PC quality much. It's a Blizzard game firstly and their PS1 port of Diablo worked quite well judging from the reviews. It was basically all down to using a combo system for button presses to access different abilities.

 

It will be a nice casual ARPG-fest on the consoles with the real hardcore item-hunt and boss-farming taking place on the PC version.

The entire design document of D3 consists of the line "Click the left mouse button repeatedly." Its kinda hard to f**k that up. :P

 

On a more serious note, the PC version has been in development for a gazillion years. And if they are just hiring for the console versions then its safe to say the PC version isnt getting hurt. Its not like they will go back and change the PC version to make it as bad (if the console versions are bad) as the console versions. I mean not every one is as incompetent as Bioware.

n**** Bioware could be sitting on the right hand side of the room in the Worlds right handed people's convention in Right Hand city, capital of Righty McRight country and they still wouldnt be right about anything they did to DA2.

^^ Skill / inventory management will be a PITA. I'm playing DA:origins on PS3 and I can see how much the interface on consoles sucks. Nothing like mouse+kb for such kind of games.

 

Check gameplay videos of the XBLA version of Torchlight. They seem to have got the controls right.
