The Console Version Of Diablo III Could Very Well Be The Best One

“There are two reasons the console port of Diablo III, announced by Blizzard last month and shown off at PAX East this weekend, could be the definitive version of the game.

The first reason is obvious: you can play offline. You don’t have to worry about server errors or Time Warner Cable while playing this incarnation of Blizzard’s action-RPG.

Reason #2 is harder to understand without getting your hands on the PlayStation 3 version of the third Diablo, but it becomes obvious almost as soon as you do: Diablo III feels much, much better on a controller than it does on a mouse and keyboard.”

The Evolution of The PlayStation Controller

  1. 1995 – PlayStation Control Pad: Shaping the Future
  2. 1997 – Dual Analog: More Power to Your Thumbs
  3. 1998 – DualShock: A Shock to the System
    The first PlayStation controller with vibration feedback and the last to be released for PlayStation, the DualShock let you physically feel the force of a Tekken 3 beatdown. Some developers realised that having two motors allowed for stereo vibration feedback; the helicopter scenes in the original Metal Gear Solid were particularly impressive in this respect.
  4. 2000 – DualShock 2: Analogue Accuracy
  5. 2006 – Sixaxis Controller: Look… No Wires
  6. 2007 – DualShock 3: Return of the Rumble
  7. 2013 - “Share” button as one of the biggest features of the DualShock 4, allowing players to easily send tidbits like video clips and screenshots to places such as Ustream, Facebook and, naturally, the firm’s own PlayStation Network. Has enhanced rumble capabilities.

“The PS3 is a powerful system, and we’re working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.” — This is why you own both systems. Some games just work better on one over the other.
