Blizzard Is ‘Very Serious’ About Diablo III For Consoles. Would You Play It?

Apparently Blizzard is  very, very, very, totally, not lying we’re legit here  serious about bringing Diablo III to consoles. Lead designer Josh Mosqueira for the game made as much clear during at Blizzard’s Gamescom press conference.

Kotaku:

At Blizzard Entertainment’s Gamescom press conference, Diablo III lead designer Josh Mosqueira said the developer is “very, very serious” about bringing some undefined “experience” to platforms beyond the PC and Mac.

“Today, we’re trying to build the best console team at Blizzard,” Mosqueira said during a Q&A session. “We’re looking for programmers, designers and artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console.”

While neither announcing nor confirming Diablo III for a Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo console platform, Mosqueira promised “All I can say is it’s going to be awesome. Stay tuned.”

What’s your take on this? Is it exciting to you? It registers at most as neat  to me. I’m not a purist when it comes to PC gaming for the most part. Just as happy using a controller for FPS. However, the idea of playing a Blizzard game on my console seems antithetical. Mind you I’m imagining that you’d be stuck on your regular old clumsy as fuck gaming bad. If you can bring Battle.net to the consoles, along with keyboard/mouse functionality, I may be sold. I’d much rather boom through hours of the game on my television, pumping the pig through my 5.1.

So yeah, thoughts?
