OPM: Not too long back I got a chance to talk to Matthew Burger, the senior designer on the PS3 version of Diablo 3. We talked about adapting the PC version for PS3, including the widespread changes to the controls, interface and loads more.
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.
The truth is in the end the controls are still going to feel HORRID compared to a mouse and keyboard. Please just add mouse and keyboard support like Unreal Tournament 3.
Lol. hack and slash = console. Its wierd it has found its way to PC to be honest. It was born on consoles and feels best with a handcontroller. nuff said.
Had a great time with D3 on PC, but I think I'm going to have a even better time on the console version.
Basically, if u want to play with mouse/keyboard, buy pc version.
If u want to play with a controller, buy the ps3 version.
Thats all the options u gonna get.
