Kotaku reports that Blizzard wants it out this year. But if it ain't awesome, no 2011 release.

That's what I like and hate about Blizzard. But I guess its for the best. Wouldn't want an unfinished game on our hands.

the original Diablo was on Playstation. Runic had to redesign the controls and UI for Torchlight (XBLA) but apparently a lot of the developers prefer this version. too much money to be made on consoles. I think if the RTS genre worked on consoles Blizzard would of ported Starcraft II.

Why? If I was a developer I would want my product to cover as many markets as possible.

I'd just find a funny. Image WoW on consoles? Imagine those hardcore Diablo II PC Players try to play on consoles? Just find the idea amusing and weird

Man, how long has it been since they released the first gameplay videos, 2 years ?

They better release it soon because their graphics will look outdated, but then again, not many Diablo fans care about graphics just the hardcore gameplay.

Thats it though by time it comes out chances are it will not have top graphics as i am sure making all those combination's of stuff takes a hell long time even more so if it has as many as D2 had.

Like you could find 1/2 dozen of things each day. That shit gotta take a hell long time to do lol.

Diablo - PC, then Mac, then Playstation.
Starcraft - PC, then Mac, then N64.

(decent spans of time between each release)

As long as Blizzard keeps the focus on PC, and aren't stalling because they're thinking about other systems now we're cool It was just too much yesterday to hear "console" as well as Runic's lack of hardcore-ness in the same day.

IMO if Blizzard thinks consoles can handle the game then I don't see why they won't make that decision, but yeah I really doubt they will redesign a game franchise to cater for all platforms like Cryingtek did with Crysis 2.

I'm waiting patiently here for their next masterpiece ! Probably the only developers that have never disappointed me.

consoles can handle Diablo III. the issue is will Microsoft drop it's licensing fee and support Battle.net on the XBOX 360. I don't think Sony would have a problem.
