Spectacularly vague, Blizzard! The most telling wording in this quote has to be “Diablo-related concept”. Should Blizzard go ahead and produce some sort of Diablo 3 port for the 360 or PS3 there’s no promise that it will be the Diablo 3 experience you find on PCs and Macs. Battle.net plays such a large role in Blizzard’s new games, so a console release without Battle.net implementation would have to be a different beast altogether. Really though, all Blizzard would have to port is the single player and cooperative experience for a console Diablo 3 to be a success.
Here, of course, is the fine print below the statement:
Considering Diablo 3’s floating release date, that could very well sneak into 2012, it’s a nice touch for Blizzard to state they are focused on putting out the PC/Mac release as soon as possible. It’s still not very reassuring to fans already impatient with Blizzard’s lengthy development process.
What a surprise from Blizzard though. Who would have thought they’d be interested in developing a console release, considering their sordid console past? Would you be more interested in a Diablo 3 on your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3? Or are you an ardent PC militant?
Diablo 3 is a PC and Mac release scheduled for release in the nebulous future.
