An unknown german retailer is the source? Reliable!

Media Markt is unknown?

 

[DSN2K]

possible Blizzard have issues with XBL.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Grinding on all those controller-users!

You have a point.

I'll be useing M&KB if this is true

 

[schuelma]

I can believe this is coming to consoles, but have a hard time believing it is a true PS3 exclusive. We'll see!

 

[The_Monk]

It would make an amazing Day one purchase.

MEGATON. Believe

 

[Dragon]

I don't see why Blizzard/Activision would be dumb enough to put this only on the PS3. They know the type of gamer that resides on the 360. This rumor doesn't make sense.

 

[UnluckyKate]

If I can get open plateform, I would log my bnet on my PS3 and play with keybord mouse : it would run better than on my MBP

 

[snoopeasystreet]

ohhh i bet no one predicted that

I did.

[Smiles and Cries]

this would be a great move for such a sweet game hope its true

my Miiverse is ready!

 

[erpg]

As a gamer, I would rather have Torchlight 2. But good on Sony if this is true.

 

[Bullza2o]

Sounds too good. Hoping for a Wii U version.

it does if they cant get the Auction House in due to Microsoft rules

the only plausible reason, i because of some kind of limitations among Xbox Live and Battle.net

even though i believe the best platform ( console platform) possible could be Wii U, just for tablet-pad reason, meanwhile the most appealing sales wise would be X360, no contest here

 

[jet1911]

That a big bomb if true.

 

[specialguy]

Why would they bring it exclusive to a dying platform?

Wont matter either way though.

 

[vega435]

Yep, this game was made for a couch. Sitting at a computer and clicking away sucks, chilling on a couch while GF reads would be muuuuuuch better.

Not sure if sarcasm....

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Good news for Sony if true. I hope it's cross platform, I'd love to play with by ps3 bros over battlenet. Also bring SC2 while your at it.

Diablo 3 on a gamepad is one thing, but SC2...

 

[denshuu]

Awesome, now PS3 owners can enjoy a constant 200ms+ latency too!

This is why I didn't even bother with the PC version. If they manage to release a PS3 port with an offline mode, I'll grab it in a heartbeat.

 

[Loudninja]

Damn what year is this again?

 

[sun-drop]

huge if true ....my PC just only barely runs it.

i finished normal tonight. but hoesntly i cant see for the life of me whats on screen thats such a system hog ...ps3 games have more geometry being thrown about .... :/


and a game pad to control the thing would be awesome ..running and shooting in the oppersite direction please

 

[LiK]

I see this happening.

 

[Haunted]

Dunno. The text is generic and could apply to any system. Redcoon isn't one of those retailers where I see a listing and go "holy shit, it's really true".


That said, it's not an impossibility.

Damn what year is this again?

2012, the last year for the PS3.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

If true: Megaton!

And it would explain the current 4+2 key setup that the game is built around!

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't see why Blizzard/Activision would be dumb enough to put this only on the PS3. They know the type of gamer that resides on the 360. This rumor doesn't make sense.

It makes total sense. XBL is much more locked down than PSN; just look at Portal 2 and Dust 514.

 

[Vanillalite]

Sony turns to the PC space as their saviors...

They already had Based Gaben on their stage...

Now it's time for the ultimate almighty Blizzard to grace their stage!

 

[Mashing]

Hopefully they bundle the authenticator with the game this time.

 

[elcranky]

I would call this a miniTON. It would have qualified as a MEGAMEGAton if Blizzard hadn't just mailed in D3 and had actually made a great game instead of just a decent one.

 

[RoboPlato]

I could actually see this happening. Sony is much more likely to allow BlizzNet stuff on PSN than Microsoft is on Live.

 

[MightyKAC]

2012, the last year for the PS3.

Right.

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

 

[Dragon]

It makes total sense. XBL is much more locked down than PSN; just look at Portal 2 and Dust 514.

Yes I agree that part makes sense. But spending the resources to port it to the least selling console in the US?

Portal 2 wasn't console exclusive it just had steamworks right?

 

[angelfly]

Doesn't D3 require Battle.net to play? It seems like a part of D3 that just can't be separated unless they made a console exclusive version rather than a port.

 

[Pranay]

Yes I agree that part makes sense. But spending the resources to port it to the least selling console in the US?

Portal 2 wasn't console exclusive it just had steamworks right?

I do think with a price drop PS3 will sell a lot especially in Europe/Asia where some Ps3 excusives a year old are still topping the charts in countries where Retail is going great

 

[Songbird]

Any version without the DRM is the definitive version in my opinion. If it has to be on a console or handheld for me to buy it then so be it.

It'll still be online only... Sucks.

 

[bill0527]

Awesome, now PS3 owners can enjoy a constant 200ms+ latency too!

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

 

[SparkTR]

It's mutual, they are funding Planetside 2, one of my most anticipated PC games ever.

 

[soxinthebox]

If there isn't a full on Vita version, I really hope they have remote play via the Vita. D3 in bed, yes please.

Laptop already checks this box

 

[Cake Boss]

I would love this, I already play d3 with a pad anyway lol

Wait you could already do this? This is the bigger news for me. I cant stand playing PC games withe mouse/keyboard now.

 

[dragonfart28]

I expect there were some serious moneyhats to keep this off of WiiU.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I expect there were some serious moneyhats to keep this off of WiiU.

Right. Because developers from all over the world are frothing at the mouth to put their games on Wii-U.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Great that it's apparently coming to consoles but... I have 3 friends on PSN (One Vita-only owner) and 47 on 360..

 

[alr1ght]

Sony lets you use always on DRM, which Blizzard is quite fond of.

 

[skynidas]

Not gonna happen.

I think

 

[Derrick01]

I feel really bad for Sony if this is true. This could have been a rare megaton, something we almost never see anymore.

 

[.la1n]

This would be pretty amazing, kb/mouse support too. Will curb hype for now.

 

[Ragus]

Vita version would be bananas. Portable D3 on a screen with possible touch controls? Yes please.

 

[anonymous_abc]

oh well the masses wont know till afterwards anyway...

 

[Cyntec]

would be cool as long as I share my B.net-Account with the PC. So said, play on the PC at home, continue on the Vita while on the road. That would be a reason for me to buy a 3G-version of the handheld - if tethering doesn't make the job.

I don't see why not seeing everything's on the server side anyway.

 

[Kafel]

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

 

[BadWolf]

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?
