This would be the only way they could get me to play this. I can't see myself starting over.

I sure hope so , I won't be buying that game again. I will try it on consoles, but if it is going to cost me more money I would rather pay for a new game.
-
I think this is unlikely. I'd bet that the games end up different enough that sharing characters and items wouldn't make sense. Pretty much every skill that activates at the mouse position needs to be reworked to not suck on a controller.
-
ok... so res is 720p. serious anti-aliasing or "jaggies" for you kids that don't know what anything means.. doubtful any AF... "supercharged PC" huh? it's a nice marketing line but these screens would qualify as low end PC.
-
-
Aren't jaggies aliasing, not anti-aliasing?
-
-
Yeah I wouldn't have said anything had he not said that part.
-
-
yep I left a word out. also I'm confused is to why they're even showing PS3 screens... who cares?
-
Because thats what people do before they release a game on a platform, release screenshots.
Also there are quite a few replies here, so i'd imagine a few people care. -
Probably for a couple of reasons. First, the PS3 is actually available and in millions of living rooms, so more people will show an interest in the PS3 version than the next-gen version. Second, and tied to the first, I imagine Blizzard wants to save PS4 screens until that version is a little further along.

I highly doubt they'd announce their brand new game at a sony event.

Wow, look at the aliasing on the doorway in that first screenshot. Holy shit that's bad.

Diablo 3 for PS3 and PS4 will offer OFFLINE PLAY

is this becuase piracy isn't such a big problem on ps3?
-
Just...what? Man, I'd love a Diablo III for PC that, instead of the auction house, had full support for mods. They were the best part of Diablo II.
-
Torchlight II?
-
Yeah, that's true I guess!

... wow, what the fuck.

Because LAN play was definitely not something PC players were bitching about being removed, right?
-
-
lol I don't care either way, I'm done with the game. And you are saying split screen co-op is a bad thing or something. I'd take that over nothing at all.

I love when you guys gave me shit for saying D3 was a console game: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=28114105#item_28114105
-
finally vindicated.
-
You also said cupcakes were full of vitamins you goddamned fool.

In case you haven't noticed, we give you shit about everything you say

They didn't release an intentionally compromised product so that it would be slightly better on a different platform 2 years down the road.

I'm sure that if they were considering a console release, they thought about the game in relation to consoles and planned around it.
-
It has been publicly known they were working on console controls at least as far back as September 2011, which means they had probably been working on them a lot longer than that.

It's entirely plausible that they built in restrictions on the gameplay and UI (limited available skills in particular) to prepare for a console release.-

I'm sure the idea for it to be a console game was there from the start. You don't start making an ARPG for the PC then try to port it to consoles.
-

-
My argument is that when you know you're going to port a game to consoles, you dumb it down.
-
-
Sure you do. Torchlight did it.

Interface? The console UI is entirely new so that's obviously out the window
Were minor concessions made? Maybe possibly. Was the game design fundamentally altered so they could *possibly* release on consoles years after the decision was made and at least 1-2 years after launch? Absolutely not. That would be insanity.

That inventory screen looks horrible.

I was thinking PS4 and was underwhelmed also.

Direct control over your character is cool but I don't see how they are going to do targeted abilities. If you have to move a cursor around with the stick they have already failed imo. I'd love if it they used the Move controller as a pointer like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R39gGjVFKVg
In tandem with direct control on the stick you could have the best of both worlds from console and PC controls. -
