LOL at people suggesting Diablo III on consoles. Do you know about hotkeys? How the fuck else am I supposed to use my potions quickly so I won't die?

At the expense of another hotkey.Lathentar said:Can't hot key those to any of the 4 face buttons?
Sure, so I have my 4 potions there. Now where do I put the 10 spells I need fast access to?Lathentar said:Can't hot key those to any of the 4 face buttons?

I'd love to see Blizzard to unite all their games into a singular Battle.net service, so I can log into it and jump into any game I own.Cirekiller said:Also looking forawrd to seeing a revamped B.NET. Make friend lists and game invites simpler.

Wonder if that's possible. Probably not. ):

but PC for me anyways
by the time D2 comes out I will have a new bitchin' fast rig
Mindlog said:Or MS not being stupid and actually allowing devs to use it ;]
Proelite said:I remember last year there was a whole shit storm (positive) when Starcraft 2 was announced. I hope it's no different this year.
Hellshadow said:man, Blizzard is pretty darn good at keeping secrets. Any other company, and this would have leaked out months ago.
firex said:only GAF is retarded enough to think Blizzard will create a new entry in a longstanding PC franchise, and then make it console exclusive/multiplatform from the beginning.
InsertCredit said:A little OT, but what the heck.
Is it already possible to register diablo2 keys at you blizzard account?
And if so, is it also possible to register keys that come with the cheap combo (d2+lod) package? I can't find my original discs anywhere and am considering dropping by the gamestore first thing tomorrow.
Talk about a hypefest .
Torquill said:Hotkeys and spells are easy (granted this is rough 5 second idea)
Hotkeys = L1 + Dpad buttons and face buttons
Spells = R1 + Dpad buttons and face buttons
That'll give you around 8 hotkeys and 8 spells on most controllers.
Keep in mind most of you are designing this around Diablo II, not Diablo III. We have no idea what other stuff would be invovled and whether we'll need more or less hotkeys than last time.
I'm pretty confidant they're talented enough to come up with a controller scheme for the game if they wanted too. I don't think the controller issue would be the one and only reason they wouldn't make a console version.

Minsc said:Yea, you can get a surprising number of hotkeys on a controller these days, but keeping in line with Diablo 2's needs, the controller fails at selecting extremely specific parts of the screen multiple times each second.

Every damn thread.
duckroll said:The lead up is pretty similar so far:
"There's no way it's <insert sequel to Blizzard franchise>."
"It's probably just some WoW crap."
"It's World of <insert Blizzard franchise>!"

etc
I'm certain the final delivery will be just as epic.
A fair observation, but Civ is turn-based. I certainly can't do everything as fast as I can do it on a PC with a mouse, but it's okay, because I don't have to. They also stripped away a LOT of what the series had gained over the years to do it. That's fine with me, because it's a console-exclusive and they tailored it to the platform. I have no complaints at all, and the game is great.Dorfdad said:Not that I disagree with you or Chris but let me point yoy to Civilization on the PS3 and 360 they have NAILED the controls to make that game in the controls. Something we all said couldnt happen.
Now Diablo is different stroy do to the fast pace of the game but it can be done Hotkeys can be mapped like Metal gear scroll through them with L1 and R1 etc.. It might not fit your current vision of a Diablo Game but that does not mean it cant/wont happen..
Developers can figure things out and Blizzard is one of the best, and they have had plenty of time to craft a system for this exact reason.. I doubt the consoles will get this, but it would make sense to profit from that install base time have changed and money is king even for Blizzard...
Unfortunately, there's just no way a WoW-related announcement is going to excite me. It's a great game, but I'm 100% done with it. The first expansion wasn't enough to bring me back in, and I don't even really want a reason to go back in, so I'm praying with every ounce of strength I have for Diablo III.duckroll said:The lead up is pretty similar so far:
