Not so fast... --- From Gamespot.com: [UPDATE]: Blizzard has issued a statement explaining the posting to its fans, stating, "We're exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we've said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we're interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you're passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply. "Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don't intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game." ---
Sounds like either a whole new game for console from the part about "a Diablo-related concept", or possibly a port to console in the future. Sounds more like a different game might go to console though, but would still be within the Diablo realm. THis needs to be released faster!
Be a totally different game and not a "port" of sorts. Keep it PC, I don't mind a similar style Diablo on consoles though.
Re posting due to forum rollback. New Attribute System: http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/huge-attribute-changes-in-diablo-iii/
Beta is planned for G3 with the game hopefully coming out this year. http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-beta-details-announced/
Will help fill in time nicely. Not that I have large amounts of nothing to do, especially with GW2 probably coming up at a similar time ... but still.
Followers are only used in single player and only good while in normal mode so really just a tutorial leveling partner.
