Diablo on consoles wouldn't be a "simple port", Blizzard has said.
Lead technical artist Julian Love and senior world designer Leonard Boyarsky told Digital Spy that the publisher is interested in bringing it to other platforms because they can make it "fit" for the platform more than any other of its games.
"The biggest interest for us for exploring consoles, and why we're exploring it, is we feel that it's something that we can do more than a job than just porting," said Love.
"One, we think it's playable there, and that we can make it playable there, make it fit and feel like a console game."
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Is it going to be put on console or not?
I can only keep my fingers crossed that somehow and some way Diablo 3 can find it's way to be ported to Xbox 360 or PS3.
yes its not easy when you cant even get the pc version playing correctly at the moment. console would be nice tho.
Let's just pray the Servers are worked out by then...
I'd rather be looting, but here I am commenting on N4G. Thanks Blizzard.

If The Witcher 2 can be put on the Xbox 360 and plays perfectly then I dont see how a game that needs only 1 button pressing most of the time would be difficult they could just do a port as the graphics arent that demanding at all either.
