Just Forget About Diablo 3 On A Console, Mmkay?
Thought I’d liven up the console fanwanking with this cite, though something tells me that isn’t about to curb the pointless trainwreck of bickering over Blizzard’s choice in development platforms …

I love when holy folk like you try to camoflauge your own participation in “fanwanking” by complaining about the very thing they detest so much.

I am chock full of squee to hear this news. I’ve been playing Titan Quest lately, thanks to a recommendation in another thread, but it’s still not the same.
I’m also liking the optional multiplayer idea as I’m too nervous to play online. While there aren’t many computer gamers in my circle of friends, I should be able to find a couple to play with.
(Also hoping to see the Druid return but not keeping my hopes up.)

You know, the Dope may or may not have people interested in video games…
Just..you knw..throwing that out there.
I just heard about this today…
Watched the demo…
I’m not ashamed to say I teared up just a little tiny bit when Cain showed up…
I am beyond stoked.
What’s this rumor about a next-gen MMO in development, too?

There was a rumour that there was a job ad in which Blizzard is looking for experienced MMO developers/designers. So far, from the official page, it seems that D3 will still be running on Battle.net and not a full MMO…
World of Starcraft, perchance?
Aha. Blizzard has said there is a fourth game in development, as yet unstated as to what it is. People suggest it’s connected to the mmo theory.
Just to rile up the PC fanboys in this thread (who swear they’re not “fanboys”):
Blizzard says console version of Diablo III “theoretically possible”
EDIT: The article also says the only reason they’re not doing a console version now is because the game is more suited to development on a PC. So it’s a business decision, not “the PC is bettar!!!one!!!eleventy”
Which is funny as Soren Johnson (lead designer/programmer of Civ 4) said he was looking to leave PC developing and focus more on console because developing for the PC is such a complicated mess of platforms/drivers etc.

Oh, just wait. Microsoft will throw an obscene amount of cash at Blizzard and then there will be something exclusve for the Xbox. The writing is on the wall and it’s in giant, 4-foot letters.
