VG247: Speaking under conditions of anonymity, a highly-placed source close to Vivendi has told VG247 that, despite comments from Blizzard to the contrary over the weekend, a newly-formed Activision-Blizzard may see a console version of Diablo III as a no-brainer.
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.
I totally want to believe this. But I dont think that it will happen. Lets make it happen guys. More pressure on Blizz for a console version.
I wouldn't like to play this on a PC. On a console you can have co-op mode and no need to upgrade my soon 3yr old PC.
Still, I am somewhat waging if I would buy it, since the gameplay video I saw of it resembles D1 and D2 with better graphics and some nifty traps. The demo didn't make me want to buy it. Maybe it's more to it than this.
Anywyas, if it's co-op and will run on the PS3 I will buy it.
DUH!
Diablo was on the Playstation!
This is not unheard of for Blizzard.
I hope this doesnt go to console. I'd rather blizzard make the best game they can on the PC so it has to remain PC exclusive.
Multiplatform games dont work if u want to create an amazing game.
I wish all you console gamers would just leave what little exclusives the PC has left and play your halo, MGS4 game exclusives.
Maybe it's just me (and I'll see plenty of disagrees), but the first thing I thought after watching the gameplay videos was,
Why have Blizzard put a console game on the PC?!
There were elements in there, such as the simplified interface, the health orbs, and all kinds of other things that scream of the kind of game that would be perfectly at home at the PS3 and 360. I was reminded of Baldur's Gate on the PS2...
But here's the other thing,
Blizzard is a business; they are out to make money. And whilst they have a nice cash cow that is WoW, the calls from the console community to port the game suggest it would sell in huge numbers.
But that's my Two Cents.
