Blizzard: "We're Still Kind Of Exploring" Diablo III For Consoles
Diablo IIIMost have assumed we'd see Diablo III on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at some point. But unfortunately, it still isn't an "official project."
But on the positive side, Blizzard executive Rob Pardo told Polygon that the game is actually "up and running" on console(s) (not sure which console he was referring to, or if he meant both the PS3 and 360). Said Pardo:
"We're still kind of exploring it. We've got builds up and running on it. We're hoping to get it far enough along where we can make it an official project, but we're not quite ready to release stuff about it, but it's looking pretty cool."
Well, that's nice and everything but if it isn't even an official project for the company yet, exactly how far away is it? And when it finally does arrive for consoles, will we even care? At this rate, it might not show up until the next-gen systems are on store shelves, and then Diablo III might have to fly under the radar. Oh, and I just have to say- If I have to constantly be connected just to play, like a freakin' MMO, you can count me out, Blizzard.

In Diablo II you could have 3 different variations of a character. In Diablo III for instance, every Barbarian is the same.
I was so excited for this way back but Blizzard really struck out on this game. I read that 10 million gamers have signed on to Battle.net but those numbers have disappeared and Blizzard is scrambling. Also, the pvp which was a huge selling point is nowhere to be seen! They are now saying it may be put into the Expansion Pack!!!!!! Epic Fail by Blizzard/Activision if you ask me.

Here's my theory: I bet all the developers working on the next-gen development kits have signed a NDA who prevents them from saying *anything* about release date on anything they are working on for the next gen consoles, until after there is a public statement from the platform providers.
So as soon as Sony go public about the PS4 there will be a tirade of developers publishing details about their next-gen projects.
Oh man I look forward to that day!
