Blizzard Hiring for Diablo 3 Console Version?

Technically, Blizzard was never exclusive to PCs. Their first title (under the name Silicon & Synapse) was RPM Racing, for the SNES. Their first title under the name Blizzard was Blackthorne, which was also on the SNES (as well as others.)

this is kinda good news. If they want to port to consoles than the game is somewhat finished. just a few tweaks til 2012 and we're done!

That statement makes no sense at all.

I wouldn't get upset over this, remember this is a PC game getting ported to the consoles not a console game getting ported to the PC or a multi platform game.

Dude! If they put it on Wii, I hope you have to run on the Wii Balance Board in order to make your character run. That'd be SO awesome.... OMG.... and swing the Wii Remote to use your weapons. And Wii Remote gestures to cast spells...

Consoles gaming is #1, you can thank pirated games on PC platforms for that. 😛

Don't like having my face rubbed in it, but you're right.
Pirates are leaching the life out of PC gaming; all while using excuses like:
"People pirate consoles too!"

They are about to ruin the best PC series by putting it on consoles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there an epic fail of starcraft, warzone 2100, and several other games originally as PC converted to console fails? I know it, I can just feel it that this is a move fathomed by the Activision side of the company. Also, for the guy who doesn't want this on consoles, I agree one hundred percent, it's just too bad I as a PC player have to suffer crappy ports when devs decide the development sequence of games (Aliens vs Predator 2010 comes to mind, what a piece of garbage, in fact you can keep that and all your re-hashed cash cow CoD games as well). At the end of the day, as long as this does not affect the quality and time attributes of the PC version I'm fine. (I'd be unfathomably angry if I had to wait 6+ additional months for a port to the 3% of users that will actually play this on the console)

[citation][nom]amk09[/nom]I just wish they would come out with new consoles already, not this gay kinect/move crap.Make new consoles with 5870 level graphics and 4GB of RAM or more, and we won't loathe console ports so much. Instead we have developers catering to the shitty console graphics with 256MB RAM. COME ON SONY/MICROSOFT, YOU ARE KILLING OUR PC GAMES.[/citation]

That would be called a computer my friend, and thusly people would not want to own it, as its not "cool"

Alright let's get it straight, I own the newest consoles and a expensive gaming PC. First things first, most people own a console over a gaming PC for many reasons, the biggest is that they grew up on consoles (NES, Super Nintendo, Sega) so naturally they will keep buying consoles. The second reason is this, they don't have much technical knowledge, the every day person uses PC's for these 3 reasons, Porn, Email, Social Networking. They don't know that intel motherboards won't work with CPU's made by AMD, or the difference between SSD and Mechanical HD's. They also don't know how to build a gaming computer, they'll just order one from dell or alienware and it will cost them 5000+ when they could just build one for 1700. So to the everyday person, gaming pc's are an investment. That's why people buy consoles, not because they're "stupid" or "immature teens." So get that stereotype out of you heads. The second reason is (I'm guilty) we want to play with the people we know in real life. Most of the time people are uncomfortable in a room full of strangers.



Now since you all are complaining how bad a port to consoles is gonna be, I know how we can fix it, if you hate console gammers and ports so much DON'T BUY IT, simple as that. No one is making you buy it, it won't "ruin" the pc version, it won't effect your life in anyway, just let it go.
