Exclusive features of PS4 version.

“The DualShock 4 definitely has some really cool features on it,” Humphreys told IGN. “A small one is the Light Bar. I know that seems like ‘okay, whatever, that’s cool,’ but one of the nice things is we can color code it to the player colors in the game. We found it’s actually already really useful. If you’ve been playing and someone walks away from the table and comes back, they’re like, ‘which one is mine? Oh, I’m the blue one.’ It’s a small thing, but very cool.”



More importantly, the PlayStation 4’s built-in Share button and PSN’s new social features have allowed the team at Blizzard to come up with some creative new ways to interact with friends.

“That’s definitely one of the things we really want to focus on for the PS4 version, new ways that we can incorporate social aspects into the adventures,” Humphreys explained. Those new features include Player Mail, Player Gifts, and a new idea called Avenger Kills.


The third feature, and perhaps the most interesting, are Avenger Kills, which let you take revenge on monsters who have killed your friends.

“Let’s say you’re out playing in the world and a lowly white monster manages to get that last killing blow on you,” Humphreys said. “There’s a chance that that monster will level up and then a portal will open and the monster will jump through. And then maybe later on when I’m playing in my game, a portal may open up and the monster will come through and I’ll get a message like ‘[your friend]’s killer is now hunting you.’ And I have a chance to then take vengeance for this monster that killed you. It’ll be now a unique monster that has affixes and is much more powerful and when loot drops, of course, I’ll be able to get mine, but that I can send some back to you. It’s just kind of a fun way to help connect games.”

Hopefully they release a version with both Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls.  Sounds like they're going to sell the original and then the expansion will be DLC or the expansion will be sold but not Diablo 3. 



Great news as I have put a heap of hours into my Wizard :)

Will the expansion be coming to ps3 and 360? Seems odd not to when they already ported the engine.

Only PC, MAC and PS4.

The Reaper of Souls seems like a new game for Diablo III... gameplay changes and all.

Where did they announced that, the fact it was PS4 only (and not on Xbox One), did you dreamed/hoped for it or do you have any official source?

Because we all know that, like Diablo 3 itself they just have a deal to announce it first on PS3 but just not talk about the Xbox 360 version (in ads and all that).



Hope the expansion gets a physical release since its big enough to be a game.

Avenger kills sound cool.

I'm gonna buy the PS3 version when it really cheap, will get on PS4 when I get one.


Same actually.  Character transfer has made me want to pick up the PS3 version now (but now for full price) instead of just flat out waiting for PS4.



Cool. The reason I didn't get it on PS3 is cause it's gonna be much better on PS4 :) Gonna be good.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

The 360 version was announced at the same day of the PS3/PS4 version... the Xbone version was never announced... in fact the last official news was that Blizzard never receveid the Xbone Devkit so they will launch only the PS4 version for while.

lol at the dreamed/hoped... it is otherwise... maybe you dreamed/hoped this game was announced to Xbone.

BTW

Q: Will Diablo III be released on Xbox One?
A: We’ve announced that Diablo III is coming to PS3, PS4, and Xbox 360; we don’t have further announcements to make regarding any other platform at this time.

And in another interview they said they will focus on PS4 version first... after that they will see decide if they will make a Xbone version.



This is why i never got the PS3 version. The PS4 one does not only look better, but also includes the expansion :)
