Re: Diablo 3

Wouldn't get that excited of this because didn't bungie recently partner with Activision and blizzard for their next game?

I also think that blizzard wants in on the money that D2legit.com and such are making and that is why they are allowing people to buy items. They figure that if they dont other sites will.

Bungie is partnered with Activision for their next game, but that is a position posted under Blizzard's career page. Any postings for a job at Bungie would be on the career page for Bungie's website.

I don't think it's a secret that Blizzard has looked into the feasibility of getting a quality Diablo 3 out on consoles (or that Activision has asked them look into it).

Re: Diablo 3

Diablo has never really had a lot of really good mods except Map Hack so Im not to worried about it.

Guess you weren't familiar with Eastern Sun, or any of the Median mods. Those are examples of why people are somewhat upset with the decision not to allow modding.

Re: Diablo 3

Yeah, I was excited about Diablo but the no mods news definitely lessened the enthusiasm I had.

I would be so happy if it released for 360, wouldn't be happy if it was ps3 exclusive because where I'm at now I can't get get wireless single with my PS3 but can with my xbox. Lol.

Btw guys if my laptop now can run Starcraft do you think there you think there is a chance it could run D3?

Re: Diablo 3

In case you haven't heard they've adopted Ubisofts idiotic DRM and it requires a constant online connection on PC also there won't be any mods supported.

It's largely an online game, this is not really what Ubisoft did. Ubisoft did it for games that were single player games. D3, to the vast majority of people, is an online game...not near as big of a deal.

They also detailed why they did this. Your single player progress transfers to the online portion of the game. By being connected this ensures that people won't hack the offline portion and then take their character online.

I really fail to see how very many people can complain about this...who really buys this game to play offline?...not enough people for blizzard to worry about that's for sure.

Re: Diablo 3

I really hope this comes out on the 360

Blizzard "serious" about console Diablo 3

Blizzard has given its firmest indication to date that Diablo 3 is coming to consoles.

While lead designer Josh Mosqueira stopped short of confirming the port out right during a Gamescom press conference today, he stated that the developer "is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console."

He added that, as reported earlier this year, Blizzard is currently in the process of recruiting a team to handle a potential console version of the action RPG sequel.

"Today, we're trying to build the best console team at Blizzard. We're looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job.

"All I can say is it's going to be awesome. Stay tuned."

If so, I hope it's cross platform! Probably not though

Wow, if they're just now getting the team together, aren't we talking about years away from release if they actually do a console version?

I hope so and I hope its Mouse and Keyboard ready as well.

I don't think I ever played Diablo 2 online. I know some of my friends were the same way.

for those of us who have bandwidth capped satellite internet its a large blow and being online wont stop hacking d2 is proof of that. I like the option to either play offline or online not forced into online. I already play wow for that.

Anyone play the diablo median xl mod? Makes the game completely different.
