First look at Diablo III running on PlayStation 3

Diablo returns to PlayStation

Blizzard announcing Diablo III for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 was one of the true surprises of yesterday’s event for the new console, I think we can agree. In a blog post, Blizzard says it “will be based on the core PC game and feature all the latest updates, including Paragon levels, the Infernal Machine event, Monster Power, Brawling, and more.”

Continuing, the company explains: “This version is also being tailored with customized controls, a new user interface, and a dynamic camera perspective…” Four-person online multiplayer with matchmaking and local co-op for up to four players has also been confirmed.

While I have absolutely no intention of buying Diablo III again, I am beyond curious to see how the game transfers over to consoles and what features that were added post-PC-launch actually make the cut. And, for that matter, how about that real-money auction house?
