| ?Weirdly, the same game hasn’t been confirmed for Xbox One yet, though Blizzard is finally talking about why, and when that might actually get sorted out. “I don’t know where we are with Microsoft Microsoft right now so I can’t really comment on what that contract looks like,” Diablo 3 lead producer Alex Mayberry explained toVideoRunescape gamer. “The point is we are developing for Xbox [One] and PS4 simultaneously. We hit those major platforms and then our goal as a development team is to make them run.” “We’ve already done it with the 360 and PS3, so that team knows how to develop at the same time for both of those platforms. That’s just what we do. And then Blizzard and Microsoft can work out whatever they work out.” So the issue is a rights dispute, not any sort of technical problem. And this is the first thing approaching confirmation that an Ultimate Evil Edition will indeed come to Xbox One at some point. That’s good news, as somehow if Sony Sony managed to land Diablo 3 as an exclusive, that would be a nice grab for them. Few people realize just how well the game functions on a console, long having been used to the PC version. But for my money, I enjoyed the controller set-up far more than constantly key mashing and mouse clicking. Perhaps that’s my inherent bias as a largely console Runescape gamer, but a few hundred hours sunk into the PC version means I’ve at least had the experience of both. The PS4 Ultimate Evil Edition still has no firm release date, so I have to rs gold wonder if they’re waiting to get things sorted with Microsoft so they can announce both versions are coming out at the same time, hopefully this spring or summer. While multiplatform Runescape games might have yawning release gaps between say, PS4/Xbox One and Wii U versions (Watch Dogs, most recently), there usually isn’t a long release gap between release dates for Sony and Microsoft’s systems. Not unless there’s some sort of exclusivity agreement, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. In fact, it’s rather hard to imagine what the hold-up might be, but it seems Blizzard is working on both at the same time, assuming it will get resolved in time for release.

If you hated Diablo 3 at launch, it’s hard to blame you, but the console version was a blast and the PC version has been patched into a game that’s 100% more fun than the alpha test version released two years ago for retail.
