Update (June 28): Diablo 3 has been announced at the WWI in Paris. You can now review the Diablo 3 trailer, screenshots, as well as demo.
Blizzard adopted Havok 4 recently. So will we be seeing Diablo 3 running on Havok 4.0? Some of the advantages that I see are that:
- Using an engine means they’ll complete Diablo 3 sooner (2007?)
- Havok supports Mac OSX, so making Diablo 3 run on a Mac will be seamless
- Havok supports PS3 so MAYBE we can see Diablo 3 on PS3.
The Diablo on Playstation stuff is perhaps premature BUT listen to this: Havok gets three times better performance from PS3 compared to a high-end PC. And why would Blizzard want an engine that does well on a console unless they plan to use it.
So we could be seeing Diablo 3 on Playstation as well. If we do, there’s a good chance Diablo 3 won’t be a MMO.

stick with pc, think of what happened with SC: Ghost, project failed, if they put it on anythin other than pc it will ruin the classic gaming of diablo over the internet, its easy to play,yet…..fun, elinitaing the need for complicated combos of buttons that will confuse you over time
Idk, starcraft 64 wasn’t too much of a failure. all it was missing was internet support, but you couldnt get that on the Nintendo 64.
SO blizzard supports nintendo lol
Ok guys I read through the humdrum comments and some I might add a pretty darn informative others are just …hmmm how can I put it…GAY!
Ok bottom line here is Blizzard lining it’s pockets with our f’n money. Whatever their decision I’m sure no one’s comments will make a heck of difference cuz what matters to them is bling bling which system will sing!
I think it’s very obvious it will be an MMO(Money Making Odity) as well as being on one of the top consoles which offer both, a lofty copywrite protection to prevent loss of sales from piracy and a good steady income from looting addicted perplexed players day after day for years on end. eg. WOW – which really stands for Wealth of Obessed Wankers.
After wasting a good part of my life gaming away adding myself to the “WOW” list :{P I think games aren’t what they used to be. There will never be any game to top Diablo2 nor StarCraft for that matter. Graphics and silly engines will never replace gaming design which is really what gamers are looking for. So stop dreaming of what’s coming and retro back to your old PCs. Lets show those blood sucking turds that we get what we want one way or another. and what we want is compatibility and most of all good FREE fun!
So long to you dudes of the new era.>>>>
well if anyone remembers diablo 1 was also on playstation 1. so I dont see any reason why it cannot be on PC, xbox 360 and PS3. it would make a big profit on all 3 of those consoles.
Well I’ve read all the posts concerning this topic and while I normally don’t weigh in on these things I feel there are just a few thngs I’d like to address first off. lets face it the ps3 is expensive…. or is it? I own a $2,000 computer top of the line I also own a $600 ps3 note: that now you can get one for about $400 (I hate waiting) the ps3 is a much better gaming beast period. it’s faster and looks better (graphics) than my fancy pants comp. If you bought the graphics card in the ps3 for your comp. it would cost around $400 and probably fry your processor. Need another reason blue ray has finally won. Everone is dropping support for HD now, and stand alone blue ray players are still much more expensive than a ps3. I would love to see d3 on the ps3, why? It would look just awesome!! and the gameing controls dont have to change, I can plug in any usb mouse or keyboard into my ps3 and it works just fine. Hold on now I know what your thinking but I’m not really biased to any one platform or another I just love games period. I own all systems. 360 has better games (for now) playstation is a killer system and everyone needs a comp. but the biggest reason I’d love to see d3 on ps3 is also sadly the biggest reason I probably never will. Playstation’s online gaming is absolutely FREE oh and I still get patches for games downloaded FREE all the time you will have to pay for any expanion releases. Sony also dosen’t like to share, but really popular game designing companies get to deside which platform their games get released on and they base this on PROFIT potential!!! Which sadly is why games like grand theft auto are now multiplatform lets face it blizzard will not agree to a single platform release too much money to lose and there never will be a d3 untill people stop playing WoW. Now they’re releasing starcraft 2 which means we’ll have to wait till people stop playing that game before there’s a d3 I think the only thing that everyone here can agree on is that we all want a d3 period! which is why we’ll probably eventually see one (we all just have to keep breathing long enough)
R U people retarded? diablo was bad ass on ps 1, bring that shit to ps3, stupid computer nerds get all the cool games:)
this is really gay it should be for the computer not for ps3 or mayby for ps3 and for the computer
or ya just for the computer
no way for the ps3 would be the shit and mayby for the computer but i highly dowt it it would probably be gay
Hopefully not!
I do not want to see it on the PS3.
Sorry, but the PS3 is a really bad console. No innovation, no good development platform.
It is bad to code for the PS3, it is much easier for the developers to migrate from Windows to Xbox 360 as to PS3.
But it should be a PC/MAC game. If it really gets released for a console, I hope it will be the 360 and not the PS3!
Cheers
It make no sense to say that the game will ruine if it go to a console. Excuse me but it’s absurd. It can go on any console and on PC as the original Diablo I and Diablo II, and the game will be the most glorious game ever.
“it would be gay” “I hope it will be the 360 and not the PS3!”
what the hell?????
I hope Blizzard develop the game to all the consoles that can run it and obviously on PC, to show every one what a great game Diablo III will be.
Some people need to get some facts straight atleast about this. Yes Diablo 1 came out on the ps1, but it came to the ps1 a year after it came out to the PC. It took a year to release the mac version as well.
Hellfire was never ported to ps1, hell it even came out before the ps1 diablo 1 release.
Diablo 2 and its expansion never came to ps1 either. But it was released to the mac at the same time as the PC release.
When was the last tiem blizzard made a console game, not counter SC: Ghost. Well Justice League Task Force for the SNES back in 1995.
Blizzards standing is that they want to keep the PC gaming venue alive and strong. Which is the oppisite with Rockstar for making a console only GTA4. Which they have no plans currently to make a PC port.
Oops forgot to end with I think Diablo 3 will be stickign to the PC, with no future prospect of a console port. But who knows, there could be a change of design a week or a month from now.
…..wy does it matter they will probably stick to pc if they do make it for a console it will probably be for the xbox360 but the game play i think would be way better on the ps3 and i really dobt they would make it for the wii…. even though the game play would be awsome on it >:) just to let you guys know blizzadr makes 150,000,000$ dollars a month off of wow so the dont have any budget limits really…..
Wow. Just what makes owning a $6000 computer something to be proud of? What exactly is the point of spending that much money on something so insignificant? If I recall correctly, my iBook cost me about $1,000 four years ago, and can still kick the ass of a high end PC with regards to a lot of technical programs. The $400 PS3 sitting in my living room does the job just fine.
But, if spending thousands and thousands of dollars on your computer is worth it, I’m sure that driving around in your piece of shit car, wearing clothes you bought from Wal-Mart, and eating frozen food for dinner every night is too.
Me? I’d rather drive around the sports car, wear the nice clothes, eat good food, and just skip worrying about whether or not my computer can play the “latest and greatest video games”. Get a fucking life.
Oh, and just for the record. The word “gay” is not an insult or a descriptive for an object. So saying that “teh PS3# is toooo gay for dat video gmame” makes no fucking sense.
Gee I am getting old and my PC was giving me RSI faster than using a PS3, and for that type of console I reckon it’s a good idea to port it over – not to mention the extra audience that they’ll have = big $$$$.
I rather use console buttons to do whirlwind on my barbarian than using number keys, I don’t last very long on a keyboard nowadays.
What’s wrong with multi platform anyway? People who wants to own Diablo on PC can surely still do that? If they do that then i don’t have to upgrade my PC.
One thing about the console is the patches though…
StarCraft 3 on the other hand should stay on the PC platform though. RTS should never be for the joypad.
What you all have to remember is that they have also made D3 so that you can play it with just the mouse, that means a single input method. If this is the case it becomes even more suitable for the console market. Why would a game that is going to be based purely on the PC ignore the Keyboard unless they have made a concious decision to have the game “Possibly” portable onto the console platforms.
With one input method, it is more possible than ever to map to a controller.
Movement by analogue, D-pad to access menu’s and face buttons to cast spells, infact the single inpur method means that it is actually more beneficial on a console controller as there are more buttons.
Blizzard have stated that you can still use a keyboard but it is not essential.
I think PC will be first but I hope they do release it on Console. This generation of consoles are more than capable of handling this game, maybe with the exception of the Wii due to graphical power, and the online portion would be no problems (It is Battle.net online gaming not MMO)as the modern consoles already have FPS games with 42 players and soon to be 60 players in one game so the graphics and player numbers ins D3 will be no issue.
With regard to gaming on PC’s compared to consoles it is a discussion that can never be won. Consoles are better from a development point of view as the optimisation and the bug checking is all done with a know hardware profile, PC’s are so varied (no two are identical)that making sure the game works on all PC’s is a lot harder task. Pc’s are more up to date with technology, but that comes at a price.
I use both console and PC for gaming and I must say that I prefer the Console (I own a PS3) the reason for this is that I know that any game is going to work without me having to spend a lot of money on upgrading. I have had to upgrade my PC2 times in the last 2 years to play new games, with my PS3 I know I will never have to upgrade it to play the games.
I know that in 3 years PC with be far in advance but I actually prefer knowing I can go into a shop and buy a game that will run without having to check the rating panel on the back of the game and the spec’s of my, and I know that I will never have a software conflict meaning that although my PC is suitable another piece of software means I cannot use the game.
I think arguements without substance are pointless so people saying it should not be on X console because Y is better, really should explain why and just saying because X console is Gay is not an explanation.
I really hope that Blizz do make the game for all Platforms as it will keep a lot of people happy. Why would it upset people for the game to be made on Console? Why are PC gamers so down on Console gamers, we play games for fun to a status symbol, or that is what I thought. There is enough room in the gaming market for both groups, and so long as PC gamers and console gamers all have a chance to play I cannot see an issue.
When it all comes down to it consoles have been used for games for a lot longer than PC have (Pc was originally a business machine) but the upgradeability of PC saw it pass consoles in the eyes of gamers. New technology for consoles can never keep up with PC’s but I think the core stability of the systems makes up for this.
Come on guys everyone should be able to play a game such as D3, don’t you think the more money Blizz can get, and the more the loyal fan base, the better for future projects, and now that Blizz has aquired Activision, console games are more than possible.
I totally agree with Stubu, Diablo 1 is one of the first games i played on ps1 and D3 should be available for everyone to play on every console because it is such a great game. To all those people saying that ps3 is gay.. are u like the most idiotic person ive come across in my life? i mean ive never heard something so stupid because i could say alot of things that ps3 has better than xbox but u will just say its gay and have no evidence to prove ur console is better.
PS3 is getting PS3 Home which surpasses any online activity xbox 360 has to offer. (plus its free)
PS3 has much better graphics and also the Blu-ray discs alow games to be bigger and better due to the disc space.
PS3 is getting some great exclusive games for example.. Mortal kombat vs DC Universe, Resistance 2, MGS4 (already out), God of War 3, Little Big Planet.
thats to all the people saying ps3 is gay..
[...] Cases in point: Diablo’s Hellfire expansion and Counter Strike (based on Half-Life engine). CS became so big that eventually the company behind Half-Life bought the team that was working on it. (Blizzard are rumored to work on Diablo 3 for Playstation!) [...]
[...] A company that’s doing great in the community business (though it isn’t exactly a smooth ride) is Blizzard. Their community system has come a long way since the Diablo 2 days. Back then, if you wanted a community, you were better off at some of the Diablo fan sites. With World of Warcraft, however, it’s a lesson learned. There are professional community managers, webmasters, etc. and their forums are much, much livelier. (Rumor: Blizz will be unveiling Diablo 3 soon. Could even show up on Playstation 3!) [...]
this is to all the ps3 haters that dont know anything beyond their own system.ok when xbox360 came out was it the best system?true.when it came out it was the next gen system with the best everything.is it currently the best system?no,its not.i have both a ps3 and a 360 and im planning on selling that microsoft pos.it was worth the money then but ps3 tops it in performance.i have halo3 and omg i wanted to kill someone when i played it bc its almost just like the other two.so to all you ps3 haters try getting some facts together or better yet play it yourself then complain about a stronger system bc we all know which one will last the longest in the gaming industry bc games are going to get more demanding and xbox is at its limit
is ps3?you decide.
Hey people. First off, Diablo is a classic game. There are many other things you have to take into consideration before saying “IT SHOULD STAY ON PC, PS3 SUCKS ASS YOU NOOB” Blah tbh. you have to take into consideration that “most” people don’t have “top end” computers which have top quality graphics cards and all-around amazing system specs. I think PS3 is a viable option to release Diablo3 on (including the PC)-(but not Xbox). Why make the PS3 so poweful? if your not going to use the software in the PS3. seems pointless if you build a new system and not use the software you get when purchasing the PS3, I would feel like Sony already knows game companys like Blizzard won’t use our system to release there powerful fan based games. I would feel I just been taken for a run with my money tbh.
IMO it would be a great buisness move for Blizzard, StarCraft 2 anyone? they will make 10x more ££££ for finishing the game and releasing it worldwide, than what Blizzard have already spent on creating the game. It will be huge!, and that is only on 1 platform (PC). When Diablo3 is released people who actually can’t play it on there PC can spend £40-50 on diablo 3 for there game console. I HOPE THEY RELEASE IT ON PS3

Diablo 3 should be released on PS3. Blizzard has worked with Sony in the past when they put Diablo on the Playstation, and that had a HUGE fan base.
If it goes to console as well, it definatly wont be an MMO, and i like many other Diablo fans dont want it to turn into an MMO….
Diablo shold be on the PS3. Look at GTA4 was realesed on consoles first because harder to pirate and they can make some money. Plus you can plug a keyboard and mouse into the PS3 just like a computer
Mate, whatever they bring it out on first or dont bring it out on one they are going to make so much money they will be set for life 3 times over….
they really should make d3 for ps3 i will be so upset if it doesnt pc playing is so annoyinggand that game deserves to be on ps3 they should really consider that .. my fingers r crossed because the game is sick and playstation doesnt really have any similar games and those games r my favorite.. everquest was a kool game too but i dont think that they will make it for ps3…
Actually, the idea of D3 on PS3 is quite great. With such high specs of a PS3, the game would run smoothly, as people have already mentioned on this thread. For those like me who are used to PC keyboard / mouse, PS3 has USB ports anyway, or even better, bluetooth. so game play on either console or PC shouldnt matter. PS3 is also wireless, so going online wouldnt be a problem too. so with the current customer base of Sony Playstation, i think it should be interestingly profitable for Bliz to put this up on PS3.
PS3 supports keyboards and a mouse so there isn’t going to be any chage in gameplay dumbasses. Second, the PS3 is a high end PC and could easily run D3 without little effort of Blizzard porting it over after they make it for the PC. Just because your XBOX lost the HD war and it just sucks ass anyway doesn’t mean you can whine.
Ps3 would be perfect I dont Care what anyone says.. Diablo 1 was on ps1 D3 On ps3 Why not Ps3 Can use Both a mouse and Keyboard it has the power and speed. And Even if Ps3 cost more Im guessing that D3 if it was on ps3 Would be free online and Xbox well you would still have to pay monthly.. And as far as wii I cant see that going down. The Controllers just arnt fit for it
D3 + PS3 + Mouse and Keyboard + 1080P TV + COUCH = Nerd Boner
BTW I only say PS3 cuz of the mouse and keyboard support, but realistically I think a controller would be very possible.
Oh and why wouldn’t it be possible for players to connect w/pc’s on Battle.net. Just take a look at FFXI, they all play together. Plus we all know that D3 is for sure coming to PC.
All I can say is that I hope for a console release as well.
This is all so stupid. D3 just like every other PC game before it will and always will be on PC. Who the hell wants to kill something that already works so well. It’s not worth the time and money. All consoles are little computers and if you think for a second that PS3 isn’t the most graphicly superior console why do you think Microsux needs to come out with xbox elite,and hard drives just so you can have what’s best!So all you Micro nuts keep paying for shit that’s already included in the PS3 because in the long run people who own a PS3 will at least get 3-5 years out of it. Your all just suckers for the next best thing… downloading games right to yout system.
