I amd not exclusive to the 360.......eh

Diablo 3 on consoles is damn hilarious though, people seem to forget what a power house Blizzard is in the gaming industry, PC alone has made them into monsters. Versus on 360 a rumour eh? Well if "PS3 worldwide exclusive" means "rumoured for 360" then looks like Fable 2 is going on PS3 for the giggles.

 

 

Actually FF13 was announced only for PS3 before it came to 360, Square has zero credibility in its "exclusive" announcements anymore

As for Diablo 3, do you realise that every single company is going to consoles ? Why would Blizzard miss the opportunity yo double their profit ? Also Diablo 1 was on PS, that is a fact you know, there is no way around it

Diablo 1's port was outsourced. And unlike Diablo 1, there is a reason for Diablo 3 not going to consoles: Battle.net.

The future version of Battle.net will give Blizzard way more money. If they ported the game to consoles, no dout it will not only eat away revenue from the PC version but also from Battle.net.

EDIT: There's also their "We only make excellent games" mantra, which no doubt could be against a console port since a Diablo 3 on console would be nowhere near as good as the PC version.

The game would be virtually identical graphically, simply because as you know, Blizz always keeps their requirements low, and instead innovates with artstyle. Any shmoe who can run WoW, will be playing Diablo 3 at 20 fps all day long.

Controls, of course, will be the largest barrier to a console port....it's Blizzard though. If they can't figure out how to port controls, then they've lost a step. Diablo isn't a rts. The controls are a lot more mappable.

As for the battle.net argument, well, I'm out of my depth there, so you might have a point.

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
