im am so stoaked if it turns out like the chapions of noraith games on ps2 simlar to that would be my dream but still probably picking this up on pc

ZombieAssassin5560d ago

If its anything like champions it might never leave my ps3.

Megaton5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Zzzz...

People have been reporting on Blizzard's console job openings for years. Oldest article in the book, next to "FFVII remake confirmed" and "PC gaming is dead".

thrasherv35560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Agreed. But I'm still hoping :)

AntoineDcoolette5560d ago

1) Diablo can function a lot better on consoles than other offerings from Blizzard

2) I could easily picture Bobby K pushing Blizzard into a console version and likely investing resources that Blizzard itself may not be willing to.

MAJ0R5560d ago

this is really old news, we've known about those job positions for a while now

Spinal5560d ago

Diablo 3 will eventually come to consoles, but I dont see it coming to consoles at the same time as the PC.

Either way I'm only getting it on my PC. This game and Guild Wars 2 are the PC titles i just cant wait for.

Persistantthug5560d ago

Before you said it WOULDN'T come to consoles, and now you're saying it will, just not at the same time.

I've been telling you for months, years actually, that it would.

Not only was my prediction correct, but I also predict that Diablo 3 will release on all platforms at the same time.

Why? Because not doing so would hurt sells AND why would Blizzard want to market for 2 different times? That would be totally inefficient and self defeating.

Just remember, ONCE AGAIN, spinalc0rd, I told you first.

--your prophet.

:P

Spinal5560d ago

Look at your disagrees alrdy.

I said Diablo 3 is the ONLY game capable of going on consoles cause its not an MMO.

I said Guild Wars 2 is NOT going on consoles and I stick to that. GW2 will not be comnig out on consoles its far too sophistcated for a gamepad. It would only hurt the depth of the game to try and Dumb it down for consoles like DCUO is. That game is really dumbed down of an MMO.

Persistantthug5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

You said specifically

"LOL my reply. I watched Blizzcon this year and Blizzard are not bringing Diablo to consoles =)"

That's what you said a little over 3 1/2 months ago.

Stop back peddling like an all pro NFL cornerback, and just say, "I was wrong about that".

While you're at it, you might wanna proclaim me prophet extraordinaire. lol

:P

Edit in:
Guild Wars is too sophisticated for consoles?
You apparently weren't playing the same Guild Wars I was playing for 2 years.

Guild Wars stands a VERY good chance for a console release, but I'm not predicting that one.

I'm predicting STAR WARS: TOR to consoles. That's the 1 I had a prophetic vision about.

Just consider me the Moses for console gamers.

LET MY PEOPLE GO!

:P

Spinal5560d ago

Yeah I told you what Blizzard said at Blizzcon that has nothing to do with what I think.

I think out of all Blizzard games Diablo 3 is the only one that Could work on consoles but I'd rather they don't put any effort into it.

I didn't play Guild Wars 1 I was too busy enjoying World of Warcraft. But I have seen videos of Guild Wars 2 and it Certainly Won't go onto consoles so keep Dreaming lol

SWTOR? I couldn't really careless bout this title have you seen gameplay vids? SWTOR is not looking good. But I hope im wrong and Bioware makes the game Epic in final gameplay design.

I just look forward to Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 on my sweet Gaming rig PC. My console plays killzone 3 and fight night champ thats all i need it for. Its no good for MMO's.

WhiteNoise5560d ago

@Persistantthug

You're a sad little man.

This article has the exact same thing that has been known for over a year. Yet there is still no mention of a console version by blizzard yet you're acting like it is being made as we speak.

As someone wrote below, they were hiring someone to see if it would work. There is no guarantee it has or if it is any good.

Blizzard scrapped Ghost because it was $#!+ and even if a console version is *completed* it is just as likely that it too will be scrapped because it is a well known fact that developers make more money per unit of PC games sold than that of console games.

Keep on living in that dream land. Anyone who has played diablo 2 or SC on a PC knows that it where it is best played.

There is no denying that previous Blizzard games have been on consoles. I played them. SC was zoomed into to the tiniest section of the map and the gamespeed was slow as hell.

If you plan on buying it on console over the PC version even if it was realeased then you must have a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally crap PC or you must be taking brand loyalty to a whole new level.

Persistantthug5560d ago

Perhaps I just prefer console gaming, and that might be the reason I or anyone else might buy Diablo 3 for a console.

Regardless, yeah....consider Diablo 3 for consoles already a done deal. Only the delusional would still deny its fruition. And the funny thing is, you seem quite delusional, and you call me "a sad little man."

That's classic.
I suppose that's why you have 1 bubble.
*shrug*

dredgewalker5560d ago

Even if Diablo 3 gets a console version I will still buy the pc version because it's gonna be much more flexible in terms of visuals. I would also find it weird to be playing it on a console since I've been playing it on the pc for years. I wouldn't be surprised if there really is a console version considering that it's an additional untapped market for the Diablo franchise.

Kran5560d ago

So let me get this straight. Diablo is like Torchlight (or the other way around)

If so, which im hyped for Torchlight tomorrow, ill be getting this on the console.

It'd be great if it was on consoles. It'll be the first Blizzard Game on consoles (Not ACTIVISION BLIZZARD)

Megaton5560d ago

"It'd be great if it was on consoles. It'll be the first Blizzard Game on consoles"

wat

Starcraft was on the N64 and Diablo was on the PS1.

hellzsupernova5560d ago

woah really thats insaine never knew that! bubbles for knowledge

Kran5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

WHAT!!!

OK. I take back what I said. Never knew that.

I would change it but im too late. It'll be the first CURRENT GEN BLIZZARD GAME on consoles, like 360 and PS3.

EDIT: Proves how much I really know about Blizzard Games ;P

Megaton5560d ago

Thought there mighta been a console Warcraft as well, but I wasn't sure. The others I was positive about.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio28d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing28d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing28d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
