3. Console crossover issues
He reiterated, however, that the developers do prefer the PC platform, simply because of its flexibility. Those who are looking forward to getting the game on consoles shouldn't feel all too defeated by this preference.




If they were to push through with the console crossover, Morhaime admits that there would be a "number of issues" that they would have to overcome in order for them to do it flawlessly.

Of course, they wouldn't want to put out a crappy console port just for the sake of saying that they were able to crossover to consoles to PC. Besides, it's not like it's a must for them to do so.

would you like to get diablo 3 on the consoles, or are you a purist and would prefer the game to stay on the pc?

Wouldn't that split the player base? unless console and PC players can play online together.

If there is money to be made i doubt Blizzard would let that chance slip by.

I personally dont think its a good idea to put a game that is so heavily reliant on the mouse - as it is a point and click type of game - and port it to a system where you need to use a controller. I was a big diablo 2 player, so granted i have a huge bias here, but i love the mouse controls. I dont think it will be the same moving with a joystick as it will moving by mouse click.

i want it to consoles, but i want a keboard and mouse support. If they transfer the game on consoles without this support and the online support between all the platforms. PC, XBOX 360, PS3.
