all thought it hasnt been officially announced, while activision being the allmighty eye over blizzerd there is a chance that it may come to console...we may have to wait for e3 or later for an offical announcment. but my speculation is that if it does happen its gonna happen at e3 here is some eye candy

Diablo doesn't belong on consoles.
I really hope they don't make the mistake of putting it on a console.
i dont care what its on, im getting it

me to im gettin it for whatever its on, and why dosnt it belong on a console. its the perfect mmo for the console. why do you care what its on. every port has equal right

Because it would suck on console.
It's a PC franchise and it's perfect on PC.
Diabo is a click dungeon crawler that is fit for a mouse and keyboard.
Def. not an MMO either.

i thought there were talking about player interactions online in the gameplay trailer. guess im wrong. anyways i think a version of diablo would be great on the 360 they could use a targeting system
no matter im still getting it

Diablo has group play but not MMO type gameplay.
Blizzard makes games very low end PC friendly so I will be picking it up day 1.
Not to mention PC games are cheaper than console games.

meh 10 bucks is nothing. you pay for better stability. and you know the game is going to run as well as it will for anyone else. everyone is equal.
but watching that gameplay trailer i dont know about low end pc. i know it will prob run on my setup but i dont know about those low end pcs
H2O Sonik
07-06-2008, 05:40 AM
Just because that video looked decent doesn't mean it can't play on lower end systems.
WWI- Blizzard clearly stated that they make all their games as friendly as possible to all computers.
Better stability?
uhh

Dude they arnt going to port it to consoles im sorry but it was rumored for YEARS that WoW was going to come to consoles and Blizzard shoved that back in everyones faces Blizzard doesnt make Console games they make Computer games end of story. And it isnt a matter of graphics or "stability" just to clear up the above argument, Blizzards games could easily be played on consoles, hell people are able to play WoW on a ******* cell phone >.> But again it comes down to the style of play and Diablo is, like said above, a point and click rpg its not a run and gun nor is it a joystick friendly rpg and again Blizzard doesnt make console games they make computer games end of story.
One last thing before i say goodbye and go see a movie, Why would blizzard port Diablo to a console that doesn't have its older brothers? Thats like sending the horse to the slaughter before the race no one on consoles would know whats going on unless they played the computer version and if they played the computer games why would they buy it on the consoles? Most people prefer having a mouse and keyboard over a controller. But anyways im gone the movie Wanted is calling my name and with The Dark Knight right around the corner i need to catch up on my theater movies.

I don't care what system its on. I Know it will be on pc. I would only play it on pc anyways. Those types of games are no fun with controllers. But I'm pretty sure it will stay just on PC.
Guys, try and keept his friendly. I know we all have our opinions but lets remember, they are just opinions.

there is alot of downers in the forum. who cares were the game is play it were you want to. if someone can only afford a console and it comes out on the console why do you have to sit there and cry about it. it dosnt affect the way you play

07-06-2008, 08:45 PM
Phinix dont really know who thats really pointed to but i wasnt crying at all i dont really care if im proved wrong and it gets ported to consoles, im just saying that blizzard doesnt make console games and the likely hood of that happening is very slim.

Doctored image. Why would it be rated 'T' already for 360 if it hasn't even been announced yet and if it's still 'RP' for the PC and why would it be 'T' if all the Diablos of the past have been 'M'. Exactly -_- Diablo on consoles is/(isn't anyways :mvgiggle:) gonna go over like AoC for consoles is planned to. Like crap.
I could easily do this :

I agree. I think it would be awkward playing it on a console with a controller. >.<

Just because not everyone agrees with you doesn't mean they are "downers" as you put it.

They did have starcraft on console so blizzard does make games for console. As for Diablo III I heard rumors of it being made into a mmo with heaven vs hell, you can choose your side and fight with hell or heaven just like they have the horde and the alliance for WoW and you never know blizzard likes to suprise people so they may come out with wow on console sometime in the future it all depends on if they think it will be good enough for them to make some big money. I seriously wouldn't like to see it on the console though...they ruined warcraft with WoW they shouldn't do the same with diablo it makes a better point and click then it would a mmo but if you think thats where most of blizzards money comes from is WoW they gotten rich off it so why not pop out another one to get these crazed addicted gamers to spend more of their hard earned money.....im so glad i quit playing wow.....untill the expansion comes out....haha

They would never do this, it would upset way to many people. I mean making an MMO of out Warcraft made more sense then out of Diablo (which is basicly already an MMO of sorts) now if you said that with Starcraft i would believe you but with Diablo... no im sorry i dont buy it.

Idk I know alot of people who are actually in favor of it becoming a mmo as long as it isn't pay to play but you know blizzard...they love their money!

Are you sure? because ive googled it and the only game for the consoles that comes up with "starcraft" is Starcraft: Ghost which died during development :\ and from my knowledge that was the only game that Blizzard every attempted to develop for the consoles.
Edit: Went to their awards page and the only games they have listed are their computer games. How long ago did you see him play it on a console? cause you might have mistaken it for a PC that he hooked up to his TV or you might have mistaken it for another RTS

again are you sure they arnt talking about starcraft: ghost on the ps2? because it was scheduled to be released on the ps2 and xbox.
Currently checking your sources on N64 thing and the playstation thing.
Edit: didnt know that about Diablo on the Playstation lol how well did it do compaired to the pc? and im guessing it didnt turn out too well or they would have kept going with it when Diablo 2 came out but would have put it on the ps2 (just a guess though lol)
Edit2: and you are correct about starcraft 1 on the N64 it was titled Starcraft 64, kinda like Super Mario 64 lol but again blizzard must have been disappointed with its turnout in sales or they would have continued with it, making a second that included its expansion pack.
Edit3: PS2 version isnt bringing anything up but info about Starcraft: Ghost which like i said never came out.
Edit4: Well seeing as neither of the original titles (on the N64 and PS) came out with their expansions or sequels, it just means that they didnt really do aswell as Blizzard planned and i believe (just a theory) that Starcraft: Ghost was their final try at console gaming, but again its just a theory.

07-08-2008, 09:08 PM
yea i haven't found anything on PS2 or PS for starcraft so maybe it was on the 64 he was talking about....I never played Diablo for the PS i remember awhile back i seen it in the game rental place and just looked at it disgusted because I have always played it on PC and couldn't imagin it on console..I still can't haha I have always liked my RP games on PC and my FPS and racing on consoles

Right there with ya lol thats why i cant imagine blizzard bringing Diablo III to the consoles, not only does it make for a better point and click but they people playing it on the consoles would have to go to the pc to get the history of what happened in Diablo II and its sequel LoD. It just doesn't make sense.

Yea I wouldn't ever buy it for console I do hope they come out with it as a mmo though for PC and make it free to play like all the others I get bored of pay to play

07-08-2008, 09:17 PM
Well Diablo is already basicly an MMO, not a MMO like WoW but it is an MMO, and Battle.net has always been free so why would they start making you pay for it now?
Edit: Damn just noticed ive posted 753 times lol (not even counting the Anything Goes section)
H2O Infernal
07-08-2008, 09:50 PM
well warcraft has always been free untill the creation of WoW so if they plan on making it anything like that im sure it will be P2P
H2O Bunnys
07-08-2008, 09:53 PM
Meh well like i said Diablo is already pretty much an MMO i mean you play on a network with millions of people and you can make "partys" (or game rooms it you want to call it that) and play with up to 8 people, i believe blizzard is trying to push that number though to 16 but im sure thats just a false rumor ive heard and it would kinda destroy the game unless they balanced it by making the bosses/monsters strong to take in to account the number of players.
Edit: Yes its the same with Warcraft and Starcraft but they are RTS games so its sorta different lol.

My compy costed less than my 360. How depressing is that? And for the price of 1 game, I upgraded the RAM and now it can play Diablo 3. QQ

my personal opinion diablo is made for PC loverss.

07-14-2008, 09:15 AM
Halo on PC was the original idea. In fact PC games usually have more content than console games. I think it was Halo 2 for PC that had the flamethrower that they couldn't get to work for XBOX, Fable for PC had more content, Sims for PC had more, Advent Rising was more crisp. I could go on and on. Does anyone remember Starcraft for the N64? Blizzard should learn from its mistakes

07-18-2008, 02:10 AM
the only reason it would be the ORIGINAL idea is that ms owns xbox.
it might have been the original idea but they marketed it towords xbox.
im only using it as a example anyway.

07-18-2008, 02:15 AM
they don't want to give up on console just because they made a few games that didnt stand up to par to the PC version.
if microsoft thought like you did then they would be alot less "wealthy".
expand, consistency, and enjoyment.
of course pc has less limits, and a higher potential when it comes to gaming.
personal opinion.
console keep doing your thing.. bringing enjoyment to all customers!.
games ftw.
