Gaming Who Said Diablo 3 Wasn't Happening?

[Kioku]

Idk. there is a list of 20 something xb1 titles rumored to be getting the better together patch..all rumored to be coming to the switch with MS' help. Diablo 3 is amoung them. If I would rebuy the game if it is apart of the better together pact and it includes all dlc to date.

Where is said list?

EDIT: It should be noted that I take everything online with a grain of salt, but Euro hasn't steered me wrong yet. This is very exciting!

well if it appears to be true.

but who gives a fuck.....

wow switch is getting yet again another old port...... from 2000 n fucking 12.

if this is true then nintendont better have it priced at £10 because its going to be another game that is old (cheaper on other systems) yet near £50 for the switch.

if its going to keep getting this then it will fail...... not that it had any hope of ever improving third party support, thats not old crap.

Everytime you say something like this I tend to laugh. Not because I disagree, but because it's wrong. There's a weird customer base with this system. Diablo will sell on the system, even at $60. It'd sell just as well on Android/Apple tablets.

There's a market for a portable Diablo. The only issue is that we won't see a new game anytime soon. Since, Blizzard is (yet again) re-releasing Diablo 3 in a new collection.

You honestly can't even be mad at Nintendo for a business decision made by Blizzard/Activision. This is assuming we'll see Diablo 3 on the Switch. You're right, though. The backporting is getting out of hand.

The sad truth is the system will continue to sell. It's got a huge userbase, and it will only keep increasing. It's because it's a weird system that does what it advertises and is getting support (whether you agree or not) from more third party publishers than the Wii U.

Neither of you are wrong. Price point is a killer factor, and have seen, heard and read about a lot of people on a wide variete of forums, social media and even some nintendo news fansites that wont buy old ports at full price point if they can get them for less on pc or even on the other platforms.

The thing is, it all depends on whatever if people want or dont want to expend that much for a old game" even if it is on the go.

The only thing I disagree with is the Switch dying due to how third party support is working. I just don't see that happening. The Switch will die or disappear because it can't keep up with how technology changes.

you can be mad at nintendo because all they do is release hardware that limits the devs, to save nintendo a few buck.

userbase means nothing, look at how large the wii userbase was, now ask why didnt third parties support it with its new titles, i mean its large userbase and expense to have a team create said game solely for the wii...... ohh wait they didnt and why.

its support is no different than systems before it, third parties will support it by porting its old titles that are able to run on the switch, once these games are done then support dies down.

its been seen on every nintendo console so i dont get why people fail to see this.

if these cheap to port titles dont bring in a good return then they dont bother supporting it with new or exclusive titles.

if your refering to the ole indy games that look like the stuff you find free on tablets wow, totes amaze balls.

theres been nothing that makes me say wow i must play this game.

when i say die, i mean when this support ends (which it will trust me), no one will give a crap about the switch, you wont hear people bragging about it, the whole WOW i can play on the bus will be a fad of the past.

it will become silent and the only time youll hear of it is when nintendo advertise mario titles or its usual titles.

look at the n64, never really saw adverts, look at cube, look at wii, look at wii u, look at 3ds, very rare you ever seen commercials.

where as sony/microsoft you see far more third parties advertising its games.

im not saying this as a nintendo hating fanboy, i am saying this based on past experiences and what ive seen since the dawn of nintendo, and each generation they get worse and worse.

i remember when nintendo used to be the leader in hardware, they always tried to compete and have near the best hardware, back then nintendo used to have no question about support, but guess what, you cant go to a store these days and find xxx on ps/xbx and also have the option to play xxx on nintendo.

when you do, you have to wait for them to release its next gen system which means your playing it years later, while the other systems are getting the new titles.

i can get why the fanboys love it, most refuse to play anything other than nintendo, so while they slated sony/ms years back, they now love the shit they hated back then.

give it till the end of this year and see how little new third party titles it gets and see how many more old games get ported.... maybe at this point devs will drop off (EA already have).

Well, as it says, Blizzard just said "As of now, we do not have any current plans to ANNOUNCE Diablo for Switch", let me be more clear "ANNOUNCE", that's not a negative to "It's in production", so, let wait to see Diablo 3 on Switch :3

I see all of these ports happening only BECAUSE they've never been available on the go before. These are triple A games with no other alternative for travel based gameplay. That's why the Switch is winning out in all these cases. People are buying it up, overpriced or not. Unfortunately, I don't agree with 60 dollar backports, much like everyone else, but that's not going to change how most people see it. I definitely don't see this impacting third party support in the future though.

Uh, i never said the switch or third party support is doing bad i only said that price point is indeed a killer factor for some. Probably you missed retroboy's quote button

Switch is technology changing. Despite PS4's crazy sales, PS4/XB1 actually helped contribute to the downfall of consoles because they're both nothing more than low-end gaming PCs. Switch at the very least is something different for consoles, and something that PC can't replicate even despite all its power.

Its not a new concept, though. The issue lies in just that. Technology has hit a rather solid wall recently, even then... The Switch is somewhere at the bottom.. So we'll see.

A portable is not a new concept, but a portable console is. Nintendo hasn't tried to push the high-end of power for a long time, so even if they had released another stationary console, I seriously doubt it would've been much stronger than Switch. Power isn't what is driving the sales though, otherwise both Switch and PS4 would be failures sales-wise.

The ONLY thing that makes this "new" is that it's a dedicated video game platform. That's really about it.

It's a great system, but it is what it is.

I AM glad they went with Nvidia as a partner too.

I feel the Switch is very much a middle child. Provided it can run current gen games at at-least a presentable quality, then it'll stay afloat. The future of the Switch isn't in it's power, but in it's innovation.

There are lots of things that make it new. Hooking up to a TV is not new, but decent display quality on a TV is new for a portable. We didn't used to have a portable to connect multiple controllers to (let alone a screen big enough for multiplayer), nor did we have full proper controllers for portables. What isn't new is all the stuff that 3DS/Vita did already, but just one generation back they already feel extremely limited in scope compared to Switch.

I spose. I'm looking at it in a completely different light than some people. I'll give credit where credit is due. I see it how creton put it. That "middle child".

That of course is by design for the first hybrid console. It'll be a while (2021 at earliest) until we even see the beginnings of the second.
