Blizarrd wants to build Diablo III for consoles rather than simply port it.

“We don’t want to port it,” he said, “We want to build it for console. There’s a key difference. Certainly, a lot of things get brought over, but a port is trying to take a PC game and graft it onto a console.

“Our goal, is to make a game that feels like it’s natively made made for a console. If we make it, we want it to feel like a Blizzard game and that we built it for that platform from the ground up.”

“We are still in active exploring mode; we haven’t officially announced a product. We say that because we like our product announcements to be a big deal. We haven’t been as secretive about this one because our biggest barrier is actually getting a console team.

“People don’t believe us when we say we’re going to make a console game – flat out. I understand why they don’t believe us, because we’ve tried this before. We’ve also never invested in it to the degree that we are doing now, and we’ve never had a product we felt was appropriate for it.”

Diablo's made its way onto PlayStation before, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the latest in the series brought to PS3. And its reassuring to learn that Blizzard's going about things in the right away. The problem is: we just don't like Diablo.
