Diablo 3 lead designer says it won't be on PS3

There's another problem. If you like Diablo type games, there isn't anything like that on PS3.

actually there is a diablo like game on PS3:
Untold Legends Dark Kingdom
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

and the upcoming Sacred 2.

Diablo3 hype will be more justified than GTA4 and GT5(P) hype was...
In my book the only game from your list worth some of the hype was MGS4 and i played all three of them... GT5P looks great and thats about it. GTA4 has good gameplay but is technically a disaster (no AA and still real bad frame rate)... Diablo 3 will most probably be as close to 'perfection' in terms of gameplay and visuals as a hack and slay can get when it releases, as Blizz usually doesn't publish betaesque stuff.. there is a reason that man companies tried to clone Diablo. Unfortunately all of them failed miserably..

Diablo3 looks awesome thus far and if neccessary i will most gladly upgrade my PC for this...

You cant possibly be serious, the Diablo series is a gaming icon. Now you can bash Blizzard for a lack of originality, but don't bash Diablo. Diablo and Diablo2 are the best hack and slash games ever created.

Exactly, Diablo is an awesome series and because the PS3 supports Mouse + Keyboard, I was really looking forward to this coming to it. O well, I will be upgrading my PC in the near future, so now I have justification for it.....

You may not need to upgrade your computer. Blizzard has a way of making their games very accessible to all players of all economic situations.

Seriously, who can't afford a computer that can play wow? Even when Wow was first launced the system requirements were never that high like say...Crysis, Company of Heroes (dx10 version) or World At War (dx10 version) was.

Blizzard has always been a fairly good company that understanding that the more computers your game will run on, the greater the chances to yield more profit become.

My thoughts exactly! I just hope that it can run on my slightly upgraded black macbook, or at least my imac desktop.

That would be great, but LOLcats is not funny. Frankly, if PS3Fanboy had a LOLcats day, it might drive me over to X360Fanboy.

Yeah because the Ps3 market is so much important than the PC market.Ha ha lol.

Diablo 3 in the Ps3 would require blizzard to do an especial engine and that would take some time and that could negatively affect the PC version and who knows if it investment would be worthy I mean they can’t just port it unless you want a broken mess. Console players only know JRPG and a handful of RPG, the product would be a hard sale for console players that don’t know what Diablo is ( If you haven’t played Diablo you should feel bad about yourself ) in certain territories.

At the end is matter of good business.

Also do you really want Diablo 3 on the Ps3?, for real? If you ask me console players want it because Pc gamers have it. Blizzard have a negative view of consoles and that’s because they tried, Diablo 1 for the PSOne was a shadow of the Pc version and I don’t think I ever saw Diablo for the Psone in most sales charts.

I guess they love piracy. The Crysis guys were quoted as saying PC piracy is as bad as 20:1 and I bet they're pretty close.

You'd think these devs would learn that the only place their games are "safe" are on consoles.

Love Piracy?

Blizzard is one of the most respected developers in the industry. At the end of the day, even the pirates buy their game - at launch even.

Plus, Blizzard has a great history of dealing with piracy. I don't see it becoming a problem with Diablo III (or StarCraft II for that matter).

Also, you should have absolutely no problem playing on your computer so long as it was made post 2003, even if you need to play it at the lowest setting. Blizzard has a great history of developing games that support cross-generation hardware configurations.

"Click on something until it dies. Then click on something else until IT dies"

FPS: Walk around. Find something moving. Press shoulder button to kill it. Repeat.

Traditional RPG: Walk around. Find an enemy. Scroll through a series of lists until one of you dies. Repeat.

Sports: Swing the bat / Choose one of the six football plays that actually works / Move up and down the court/field/ice press X when close to goal/basket

RTS: Amass resources. Spend resources.

Etc., etc., etc.

Every genre has its repetition. I think the best comparison for Diablo is the FPS genre. Some people (not me) regularly complain that all FPS games are the same - and it's partially true. Yet fans of FPS gameplay are willing to shell out 60 dollars every 2 to 4 months for a "new" or original experience. The great thing about the Diablo series is that - so far - you can have a "new" or original experience by "clicking things to death" dozens of times before it gets old. There are literally thousands of ways to build your character, and while one or two version may be the "best" the other dozens of ways are usually viable at least through the first two difficulty settings. The great thing about these dozens of playthroughs is that it's a one time investment of 50 bucks.

Anyway, if the Diablo games aren't for you then that is totally fine - I'm not here to convince you to be as stoked for Diablo III as I am - but don't use that tired "all you do is click it to death" fallacy

With a decently up to date rig like that, I would wait on upgrading. Blizzard games are usually generous in regards to system requirements and - with the exception of the cinematics - playing the game at its highest settings generally adds very little to the experience.

Blizzard games generally have terrible graphics (like WoW and the last 2 Diablos) that don't tax hardware at all. Yours will probably run it at 200 frames per second.

What so now we're gonna have a Wii vs 360 vs PS3 vs PC fanboy console war .

I atleast will be getting this game when it comes out , unless my PC can't play it , then I'm getting it once I've saved up and bought a new PC.

I totaly agree, I don't buy games on PC anymore. My last game was over 2 years ago. I buy only on console.

Diablo 3 is 80% hype, would be nice to try it out on my PS3 though.

“Diablo 3 is 80% hype, would be nice to try it out on my PS3 though”.

It earned that hype with good reasons, Diablo II was epic and it should be on the top 10 best games ever made.

Diablo 3 really seems like fan service (Yet I will buy 3 LE copies) and maybe that’s the reason the want to keep it for PC only. I don’t think the investment on a Ps3 version would be worth it, how many people are going buy it for PS3? I feel most of you never played a Diablo game and you are just “butthurt” because you won’t have it.

If it was so important for you there would be like 1M petitions online already instead of some retarded hateful comments about Blizzard, good job people that will force Blizzard to deliver D3 oh especially when you name games that you will rather play.

@Mr.ESC: You don't even own a PS3, why do you bother to post here?
