Matthew Berger talks Diablo 3 on PS4 and why it won't support Remote Play.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Ahhhh, lame! Oh well, still a fun game...
Ugh, that's lame. I don't really care about Diablo 3 in particular, but I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that Vita remote play was a built-in feature of the PS4, and that it would be compatible with all games. To find that it's game specific is disappointing. :(
Even if graphic elements of D3 are too small to be feasible, I would have rather all games support the feature, and then it would be up to the gamer to decide whether or not it's actually playable.
“Not really. Not for the moment,” Berger said.
iirc they need remote play support to pass certification so it's not really a option.

This is odd. For it not to play on the Vita, Blizzard would have to actually stop it themselves because it's automatic. They would have to 'opt out' rather than 'opt in'. Let's see if there's a Vita version of Diablo 3 because if there is I think it's more to do with greed than any flimsy reason they give in this article.
I can understand that what is on the Vita screen will be too small to distinguish (ie. inventory) but surely this is something that should be up to the player? I will decide if I want to go blind playing or not.
