diablo.incgamers.comI hope they let PCs go head-to-head against consoles. I can hear the MW3 players weep as PC people just spam spells :D

Microsoft was planning to add mixed PC/console multiplayer to some of their games. Console players were beaten so badly in internal testing it was never released.

Actually, it IS available, but no sane dev enables it (much to our sadness)

a controller is no match for a mouse and keyboard. not even close.

Didn't someone at Blizzard say that a controller actually created a better gaming experience for Diablo III?

Even assuming that is an accurate statement (big assumption), better experience doesn't equal competitive superiority.
Case point: Shooters have a better gaming experience with maxed graphics, but when you're playing competitively it's at 640x400 with everything off.

I think they said the movement(walking) feels more intuitive than a mouse but that's not the major problem. You still have a huge issue of precisely aiming your spells in the preferred locations on the battlefield, which you cannot do as accurate with a controller than a mouse.

Be interesting to see how that's possible. Im having a difficult time imagining that, but im open minded enough to be shown.

You're assuming there will be a PC version...

Well, the beta suggests that there will be one....

Not sure if retarded...

I played Diablo 1 on playstation and it was awesome, but I switched to PC as soon as d2 came out and will never go back.

They better not cause an extreme delay on the PC release for this or blizzard is going to have a foaming at the mouth pitch-fork mob on their hands.

The project appears to be in an earlier stage than the PC version and would likely have a separate, later release date.

It will in no manner effect the PC release and is a seperate project from the PC game.
1
That's not true... esp for the xbox 360 version.
1
Source on that not being true? they have said time and time again that it will not effect the PC game.

Well since it clearly says theres a completely seperate team working on it, you're an idiot.

Just because its a seperate team doesn't necessarily mean they wont stall the release to push it out all at the same time.
1
And if you would spend some time making a google search you would know that Console game wont effect the PC game at all.. PC game will come out just as planned with a Console game maybe in the future if the development goes well else they will throw the console version out the window :)

I hope a port isn't whats holding up the PC release.
-1
This is very old news, and Blizzard said something to the effect that any console release would happen well after the PC release.
1
It is not holding up the PC release at all.. Console version is a complete separate project with its own time frame and team :). Whats holding up the PC release is the fact that the game is not ready for a release yet!

This has been known for a looong time.
