Diablo III PS3 spotted on German retailer

They would probably have to nerf inferno for a console version. I can't see the controller being as smooth as a mouse and board in terms of controls for this game. Alot of the skills require aiming which would require use of both analog sticks. The "pointing" control would be sloppy, but the movement and skill slots would be smooth. The aiming is extremely important though.

YES!!!!!! There is hope!

If it comes to console, i sure as hell hope it will be posible to log in whit 2 acounts, so you can play local-co-op, all who did play Champions and Buldur`s gate now that this is the most fun. And controls can work just fine.

I still don't understand the appeal of Diablo. I mean if you enjoy it keep on enjoying it but I was bored out of my mind when I was playing it. Played for about 3-5 hours and I just couldn't keep on going it was just to damn boring. All my friends went nuts over it, maybe its just me but the entire dungeon-crawler genre is just completely unappealing to me.

won't come , atleast not in a year or 2, they're still "exploring" the system+thye have kinda already gicen up on it i think.

Sure would work. I'm not sure how they would handle the online aspects though, specially the auction house. PSN is also pretty fail as an online network and Blizzard would have to deal with that.

Seems that no one here has ever played Champions of Norrath on the PS2.  The controls worked pretty well there actually...

PS3 can support a mouse and keyboard.  So it is plausible.  Frankly  I don't see why not.

I knew it from the moment i saw the layout.. 1 2 3 4 left mouse button right mouse button i mean come on T S X O L1 R1 or L2 R2.

And ArmA2 has had a "360" page up since 2009. Still no port.

Cross Platform Multiplayer maybe?

Not hard to port Diablo  3 its not a very complicated game control wise.

Apparently a lot of people on this board are either casual gamers or ten years old. A port is pretty easy to do and controls will not be an issue. Why? Because Blizzard has ported at least 3 titles previously including Diablo I, which I own and its at least as good as the pc version. They also ported Warcraft 2, and starcraft. I think since then technology has improved, and lets not get crazy here folks, diablo a top down point and click rpg, from a graphical and gameplay standpoint it pales in comparison to something like Skyrim. And yes the PC version has bugs, so do fallout, skyrim, and pretty much any other game that has online component to it. Its the cost of having the breath and scope that these games try to offer. If you have issues with them, go play a sudoku in the local paper, at least it wont lag on you ;).

Really love to see Diablo 3 for consoles, low graphics laptop can't handle those games anymore. :(

Ok, everybody should see what follows:

Blizzard's awful customer support, represented by radio silence in an outrageous matter:

the PC releases is simply the beta for the console release.

What's this so called "brand new feature?" To be able to play offline without any latency? *cough*

"Diablo III game director Jay Wilson said Blizzard is not presently working on a console version of the dungeon crawler, saying the company is not sure whether "it will work.""

What's he talking about?  It doesn't work on PC let alone a console!

It's like Blubadox said. If you're familiar with Diablo and Diablo 2, you know that the controls have been scaled way back in Diablo 3, as if to make it easier to port to console.

Mistaken report I'm afraid. If you go to usk.de and type in Diablo 3 under "Titelsuche", you'll see that the USK has issued no rating for the PS3 version, only the PC version. And that supposed link brings me to some blog.

Since the PS3 supports keyboard/mouse, I can see this happening.  Just look at Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3.  It supported keyboard and mouse.  Too bad more games don't provide that as an option.

The issue isn't button placement.  It's also very feasible to allow them to be moved by the joysticks.  The problem lies in how to make them properly aim their skills/powers, picking up dropped items, moving items in and around your inventory and other customizing areas.  They could make one joystick move, and then one joystick be a mouse pointer (even if only temporary at times), but it would be horrible either way.  It would be extremely bogged down.

I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard is working on a console version of the game, but if you know Blizzard, you know that it doesn't necessarily mean that they will ever actually release it.  Blizzard has no qualms with spending time and resources on a game and then deciding to just junk it if it didn't work out to their expectations.
