Blizzard has announced that the PS3 and PS4 versions of Diablo 3 will not require a constant internet connection like its PC brother. You can play the game through local multiplayer with four players on screen at once and the camera will simply pan out for a view of all the characters.
Also Diablo 3 will not be able to cross platform game between the PC, PS3 and PS4. So whichever version you have that is who you will be gaming with online also.
Diablo 3 is set for release this fall.
One of the great surprises last night was when Blizzard took to the stage and finally confirmed that Diablo 3 would be making the jump from PC to consoles. Not only that, but the loot filled dungeon crawler will see release on both the PS3 and PS4.
The game will have new customized controls for consoles, new camera perspective and a new interface. For those of you (like me) without a quality PC this is very welcome news. Well that and I like a controller more than keyboard and mouse. I know, I know blasphemy blah, blah, blah.
Diablo 3 will be playable at this year’s PAX East on March 22-24.
