    I'm in two minds about this. Maybe they should design a Diablo game from the ground up exclusively for consoles. I reckon that would make them even more money as well. =D

    Well Torchlight showed that you CAN do action RPGs on console properly without having to make them stupidly streamlined like Dungeon Siege 3.

    Torchlight is a gr8 example of that but who's gonna suffer this time around Diablo was a PC IP and
    was designed that way, now messing with that design is gonna P**$ off allot of PC gamers if
    it has a console feel.

    It's not like it's a price of persia (better on console) or a FPS (better on PC), the question really is will I be able to play diablo 3 with my house mate who has a console?

    Well that's the thing Torchlight was designed as a PC game and the only thing that really changed for the 360 release was the UI and control scheme. So there is no reason that the existence of a console version should affect the pc version.

    I agree with you on that, but my argument is can the do it as well if not better and if they can
    are we going to get a cross platform game with much better game play but with the detail
    and care that normally comes with a PC game?

    It's all about the $$$. Probably the only reason to put it onto console. (besides making console owners happy :P)

    Pretty much every game ever made was because of the $$$, it's a business.
