Blizzard teases that Diablo 3 is running on consoles right now

12/12/12 1:39pm

As if Blizzard wasn’t already one big tease after another, Blizzard CCO Rob Pardo has once again dropped a hint that Diablo 3 may come to consoles one day. In a conversation with Polygon, Rob eludes to the face that Blizzard has “builds up and running on it [a console]. We're hoping to get it far enough along where we can make it an official project, but we're not quite ready to release stuff about it, but it's looking pretty cool”.

Why they are biding their time is anyone’s guess, but with a looming expansion pack and the continuous patching, they may be trying to get all their ducks in a row before entering the console market with this game. The fact that this is out there though does bring a few questions to mind regarding how the Auction House will work and whether or not you will need to have an Internet connection to play.

What would you g1s prefer? Parody across console and PC? Or a Diablo 3 “light” for consoles giving you story and co-op, but no real money AH or always on DRM?

Screw it, just bring Diablo II to XBLA and I'll be happy :)

That would be a horrible idea. No RTS game should be played on a console.

Diablo isn't even an RTS game.

Well yea I guess it could be called an RPG, but it uses RTS elements. My point is Diablo 3 would be bad on consoles because there is no mouse & keyboard, which Diablo 3 players need.

Well, the first Diablo was also released on the original PlayStation. And other than the fact that you needed almost a whole memory card to save data, and a sometimes low framerate, it was decent.

Hmmmm, I can see the appeal of a console version. However my laptop is just good enough to run it at an acceptible frame-rate, and personally I'd rather have the Auction House at the sacrifice of a few polygons, as compared to a console version without some of the features

No real money AH and always on DRM? Sounds like the console version is the one to get.

Diablo 1 on PS1 is one of my all time favorite games, and my PC is shit and cannot run Diablo 3, so bring it to PS3 and I will buy it.
