Support NeoGAF

[Haunted]

Right.

Because 2006 was the last year of the PS2 and absolutely no one supported it with software afterward.

Tell me how post-2006 Gamecube and Xbox support turned out.


The real answer is obviously that the situation is not analogous to either, as the PS3 might be a million lightyears away from the dominant position the PS2 was in, but is also not as abandoned as the GC. Still, it's in Sony's best interest to get Orbis off the ground as soon as possible, with a strong start in 2013. The strong PS2 ultimately hurt PS3 adoption, so maybe they'd be better off dropping PS3 to help Orbis.


On a related note, there's no doubt in my mind that the 360 will be selling the most when all three have launched into the next generation, it's got the yearly updated franchises locked down, and it's these multiplat releases (FIFA Madden etc) that ultimately keep platforms alive a couple years into the next.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Vita? Vita Vita Vita.

Come on.

 

[Schobeleth]

Holy shitballs. My wildest dreams come true! I tire of having to hunch over my desktop, I'd rather loaf on my couch while playing this on a controller. PLEASE BE TRUE!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Hey alright, streaming Diablo 3 on Vita!

The idea of Diablo 3 on PS3 and compatible with Move I think may cause some PC gamers to liquify from the inside out. Like Ebola. Diabola.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Yeah if they can secure it for Vita then that would be one heck of a win.

Is the game technically demanding? Would a Vita port be viable?

Watered down... it is possible

Ah yeah, maybe Sony will invent something bedeviled like backward-compatibility. That would be sick shit!

 

[Concept17]

I would gladly double dip for this. Best game in years, and it would be great to sit on mah couch and play.

Imagine if we could even have splitscreen.

 

[zroid]

O______O

I'm still hoping for a possible Wii U version, because dat touchscreen for inventory, but even as a PS3 exclusive I would double-dip all over it.

 

[Franklinator]

Whoa, huge news.

Ahhhhh I'm so pumped for the E3 conferences

edit: A Vita version would also be awesome

 

[Harlock]

I love to see Diablo 3 background in the big screen.

Go PS3 hardocore! Buuuu 360 casual!

 

[LiK]

Yep, they can play every day except Tuesday, and other odd times for the other 6 days of the week.

it'll match up with PSN maintenance. synergy

 

[woahjeez]

Sucks if true, would have been perfect for Wii U

 

[StevePharma]

Shameless promotion from this month's Achieve Trophies thread.

Guess I was onto something

 

[Bboy AJ]

If this comes out on Vita, I will reneg on my pledge not to buy it because of the always on DRM.

 

[Kagari]

I mentioned this on twitter but if this is true... it's almost sad that it leaked out - would have been a true surprise and there's been short supply of those lately.

*avatar quote*
They still have one left.......

Its still a huge "in your face" to everyone if this gets announced officially.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Well, they could still make it playable by stream after tomorrow's PSN update, that'd be a surprise.

 

[Dimorphic]

A PS3/PSV version that is cross compatible would win E3 and possibly save the Vita.

DO IT SONY!

I don't remember me or any of my friends getting upset when Diablo 1 was released on the PSone (or seeing any backlash online) but these are different times, with more outlets for stupidity.

 

[injurai]

digging for site hits?

 

[Derrick01]

Come on, we have threads about D3 coming to consoles every month.

There's never anything substantial there though. Hell there may not be anything here either, I'm just saying if it is true it's a huge blow to the surprise. People will be ready for it tonight.

 

[freddy]

Sounds like horseshit hitting the dry plains.

 

[Kafel]

They hire people to work specifically on D3 360/PS3 and you believe their PR "well we only want to see what we can do here and there ... " ?

 

[iceatcs]

Holy shit, if true. Neogaf won't take/cope it.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

If this is true and it comes out on the Vita I would strongly consider picking one up.

 

[Cyntec]

Exactly. There stands "RUMOUR" in big letters in front of the thread's title. I can't say much more than that I contacted the retailer and they confirmed me, their distributor started to accept pre-orders - but is listing this game only for ps3. Also I was told - from internal sources I can't tell you more about - I shall wait for later this day -> which points to Sony's conference.

 

[Ponn]

Half of me wants this to be true to play it. The other half wants it to be true for the biggest megaton meltdowns in yesrs. GAF would crash hard.

 

[def sim]

This would be pretty big news for the console only crowd if true, for sure. Only thing though is I completely doubt Sony would pay such a fee so late in the generation.

 

[th3dude]

Give me

1) Vita release and
2) Syncing with Battle.net so I can play my same PC characters/games

I'd buy one on my way home today.

 

[rouken]

why would blizzard do this really? and also for vita?
wii u is much more likely if they are really porting it for consoles.

 

[Reclaimer]

Why is that? You mean compared to Vita? Yeah, I'd agree. But compared to PS360? They already have the userbase, and PS3 can use a mouse/keyboard.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Sony's megatons are leaking early. Let's hope they can keep SOME surprises.

Who cares?

BE SURPRISED NOW. What the fuck is the problem?

 

[SVxM]

Count me in if I can get it on the Vita.

 

[Petrichor]

It's not an exclusive if it's already available on PC I thought.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Possibly because Sony isn't extremely restrictive when it comes to their online connectivity and integration of third-party systems. (Steam/Battle.net)

And it would be a great system seller if it hit the Vita.
I'm not saying I could see it happen, but it would be a fantastic "get" for Sony.

 

[Proelite]

Wow Diablo 3 playing master race will be so salty.

 

[SparkTR]

Wow Diablo 3 playing master race will be so salty.

Why would they when they already have the game?

 

[Anth0ny]

oh my.

 

[Cyntec]

It's not an exclusive if it's already available on PC I thought.

we already had that discussion on the very first page only on one console = exclusive.

 

[Derrick01]

Wow Diablo 3 playing master race will be so salty.

There will be plenty of stupidity on both sides, trust me.

 

[Pranay]

There will be plenty of stupidity on both sides, trust me.

Pretty Much

*Game was dumbed down because of console*

on the other side

*lol diablo 3 also on console hahahaha*

 

[Duffyside]

That's big.
I can't find the mention of exclusivity on that page, though (but I quickly browsed through the text, and my German is rusty)

Oh man, you think YOUR German is rusty!? I read that thing as carefully as I possibly could, and when I was done I was pulling a black forest cake out of the oven...

 

[Persona7]

Why would they when they already have the game?

Are you new to the video games?

 

[darkwing]

how can Sony afford to moneyhat this? it may be Microsoft getting D3 after all in the conference later

 

[onken]

I'd buy it if there's an offline mode

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wow Diablo 3 playing master race will be so salty.

If the rumor is true, that would be nothing compared to the amount of salt produced by the Wii-U and Xbox 360 crowd. The meltdowns would be awe-inspiring.

Still don't see it happening though.

 

[fluffydelusions]

how can Sony afford to moneyhat this? it may be Microsoft getting D3 after all in the conference later

MS wouldn't even let Steamworks through...

 

[KageMaru]

Will be surprised if this turns out true, but awesome if it does.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Yeah if they can secure it for Vita then that would be one heck of a win.

Is the game technically demanding? Would a Vita port be viable?

Nope. I can run it on my girlfriend's PC, which does not have a GPU, just integrated Intel graphics.

This could very easily work on the Vita. But, where are people getting that it's coming to the Vita? I only see a mention of the PS3.
