Hmmm.  Wonder if it will have touch screen enabled?  Touch screen and mouse are fairly equivalent.  I agree that often games that work well with a mouse don't really translate that well to a console controller.

Nah, many games have done it and done it very well. I'm playing Divinity OS2 on PS4 right now in the Act 1 preorder BETA and they've done it so well that it is much, much preferable to M&K as they have went the extra mile in porting. Divinity 1 was a lesser example and the teo new Xcoms but there have been many that have used controller support as a boon and not purely a workable input device. Divinity almost seems designed for console co-op rather than PC and same for Xcom.Diablo 3 does it very well, but its not the controller at fault. The genre almost seems designed to be played sat at a desk, I guess it's more the environment than anything else,purely subjective mind and I can't put my finger on it directly but something gets lost in that translation. Regardless, it's still a fantastic game, as much as cool down heavy loot  and stat simulator can be. Depth guised, mindless brain food at it's best.

Not sure how the touch screen will be implemented, if at all but one can hope for the best.

Heh, I think you just convinced me to play Divinity OS2 instead of Diablo 3.   Divinity OS2 looked really interesting to me, but I stopped paying attention to it when I found out it was on PC only.
