You know... Diablo has a thing with cows going, a certain childhood hero of mine is also supposed to be making a comeback...

Earthworm Jim confirmed for Diablo 3.

I believe you mean to say that this is a confirmation that we'll see the actual confirmation for Diablo 3 in 2-5+ years.
:)

Unless it's an offshoot like Ghost is, in which case you may expect it around the time Duke Nukem Forever arrives on store shelves.

Double that.

Double Truth!


Is good to know they are working FINALLY on Diablo 3.

sigh.

yeah, I know. I played Diablo 2 for a long time. I stayed away from Hellgate when it first came out, but figured I'd might as well pick it up. It seems okay enough, but I'm sure Diablo 3 will rule.

I'm so tired of saying this... WoW IS Diablo 3!

fantasy, science fiction, and... fantasy are the only real genres gamers care about!


to be fair, blizzard did more than it's fair share of innovation by creating the rts game. milk, it baby. get a picture of a diablo cow head on that megaman cow head and MILK IT.

New IP's are only for suckas who milked their franchises to the point where nobody will buy their game anymore.It's a "Ninetendo/EA Syndrome".As long as there are retards who'll buy it, we will release new games.

Blizzard FTW!

As long as Blizzard can vacuum money from gamers wallets at will with the properties they have, not gonna happen.

Who the hell is down voting anyone who plays PC whilst voting the retarded console fanboy up? PLUS, you people are on the fucking DIABLO 3 thread, why are you console fanbots on a PC franchise thread just to say that you hate computers.

Anyway...

The only thing wrong with PC gaming is piracy, that doesn't really matter if it's dealt with the right way, and if the game is good enough. Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 are going to sell like... things that sell lots!

Argh, twas meant to be a reply @ Kujel.

ahahahahah...no fucking way...

It will happen, PC gamers are a dying breed and so there is more money in consoles.

rofl...

A Blizzard game on PC not selling millions and breaking sales records is not possible. PC gaming is sooo misunderstood these days ;3

Awwww Hells No.

PC FTW,Diablo is meant to be played on a PC.Console versions will either suck or be dumbed down.

Keep telling yourselves that PC fanboys as you march into extinction. BTW if you actually looked at the market you would see not only are more and more gamers adopting consoles as their platform of choice Devs are shifting away from PC (quite quickly actually).

They made a PS (and an N64? maybe?) version of Diablo. It sucked. The point and click combat and gui does not lend it self to console play very well.

I don't believe you understand Blizzard's M.O. Kujel. See, they're one of the extremely rare devs out there dedicated to making games on PC. I can only recall one game from blizzard being on consoles and that was Warcraft2 for ps1. So far as I know, it failed miserably, yet the PC version is still sold alongside and/or with Warcraft3.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a D3 on PS3 or 360(assuming they're still making games for those systems when D3 comes out), but chances are it'll go only to PC since Blizzard seems set on going down with the ship that is the PC.

At one time PC and console games were two completely separate creatures but those days are over, console controls have far surpassed PC controls. I can't think of a single game I'd rather play on PC then a console. I'm sure there will be a PC version but I'm also sure there will be a console version.

Well, if they allowed use of KB/M on a console port I see no reason it couldn't work just fine on consoles. In fact, I'd imagine it would be quite popular... especially on Live. But there's two problems. One, MS has been very hesitant to allow KB/M use in games up to this point. Without that, a game like Diablo just won't work as well. Second, Blizzard themselves have been very adamant about supporting the PC platform. They've basically laughed at the rumors of WoW going to consoles in the past. There is certainly money to be made in the console market, but if there's one PC game company that doesn't need to worry about that it's Blizzard.

I'll happily buy Diablo 3 for my PC... or anywhere else they choose to release it. In fact, if they did release it for both PC and the 360 (or next version of the Xbox) there's a good chance I'd buy it for both. I love the Diablo series that much.

Vidikron (FU) the only real problem with your thinking is that console controls are inferior to PC controls when it's the other way round.

Not really. I don't think either is really superior since different genres benefit more from different controls schemes. Also, PCs can use controllers and consoles can use KB/M. It's just up to developers to support the different input methods... or in this case, whether or not MS allows use of KB/M. Previous Diablo games definitely work better with KB/M with the way their inventory systems and such were set up. They might be able to create an efficient controller inpout scheme, bit IMO MS, and all consoles platform owners, should simply give a green light to KB/M across the board. Make controller schemes manadatory, but allow KB/M use to be added as seen fit by indiviudal developers.

@Kujel

So... you umm, think that FPS's are better to control on consoles eh, you just looovee Halo don't you.
Console FPS's have Autoaim to make up FOR THE BAD CONTROL METHOD.

"console controls have far surpassed PC controls"

Let me guess you are a visitor from 2020 and your PS6 with its super aweosme controllers and time travel mechanics allow you to go back in time to this era in particular to say BS,Am I right?

Seriously other than platformers Keyboard and Mouse FTW.

What's this??? PS3 and 360 fanboys make-up and unite against PC fanboys?


I agree with Mister Escape. But it really doesn't matter in this day and age. My PS3 controllers plug right into my PC and are instantly recognized as game controllers, and consoles are more like PC's than ever.

I always FPS'd with K&M on my PC, flight games I used a flight stick, fighting games I used a gamepad. I still do the same today. K&M is just way better for FPS (in my opinion). I've been playing UT3 on my PS3 with K&M... but when I play UT32D, I gotta use the controller. The freedom to make those choices is a great thing, and I can't understand the mentality of speaking out against freedoms.

SonofSeth that wont be a challenge for today's consoles, they have a great set of hardware specs and Devs have learned how to make great control schemes. Diablo 3 on console will happen, just watch and see.

So you're basically saying make Diablo 3 but completely change the genre...

Also Kujel, you do realise that PC's are more powerful than consoles are right?

I always laugh my ass off at PC fangirls and how defensive they get when you point out the PC platform is dying and that a gamepad is far superior the keyboard and mouse, I only know one guy at work who thinks PCs are better and nearly everyone thinks he's gay (literally) what does that say about PC gamers. Wait correction there is one other but he only plays on PC because he can pirate all his games instead of paying for them, also console shooters don't have auto-aim unless you turn it on!

Hmm... Ok so are you just a troll or what.

Did you seriously just say that preferring a control method far more accurate with more buttons means you're somehow homosexual? Besides that are you just some backwards hick retarded homophobe? If he's gay, good for him, if he prefers computers, even better!

You can respond now but all that will acomplish is you flailing your immature words around, making you look even worse.

Have fun.
