Stream? If you are simply connecting your PC to a HDTV, then it is basically a monitor. As far as I'm aware there is no streaming necessary. I'm really curious why you would choose to play a game like this with a pad.

Monitor then.

I'm not a keyboard and mouse fan, i like the controller feel, so if it can be played that way, thats the way i'll be playing it.

If I buy the Lord of Destruction expansion pack:

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/114390/Diablo-2-Lo...

Does it come with the main game, Diablo 2? I just realised that I sold it a couple of years ago but i'm now wanting to play it again. ;)

No you need the main game from what i can tell.

I've played some more of the demo and I don't think its my type of game, seems a bit simplistic after playing WoW

Oh right, well i'll probably just pick up the main game seeing as it only costs about 6 quid. A big, positive surprise is that my crappy computer will actually play the game on its highest settings if the system specs on play.com are anything to go by.

Where do you get the demo from?

Yep you need the original game too. It says that in the requirements.

Anyway I just installed D2+LoD. This is good reason to test that newest patch :p

Ah it is probably going to connect to EU server then just get that EU out from the address or go to blizzard.com and find diablo 2 there and then find demo tab.

I wasn't being a dick or anythin. Just thought you might be doing something unecessary to get the image on your HDTV.

Is there any chance that we could get a Gamersyde torrent link for these videos? Every place that has these videos is getting hammered.

I'm pretty surprised that the gameplay video and official CGI trailer of Diablo III isn't actually on the gamersyde main page yet.

They're probably busy though ...

Controller it si then.

And Grift the are a number of ways to stream the video output to your HD TV i do it the easiest way and use a simple dvi/vga cable (of course you have to have a vga port on your tv) and Crysis never looked so good :)

Your loss.. just play Marvel Ultimate Alliance or something if you're really that uncomfortable holding a mouse and pressing hotkeys. Diablo 3 is going to be nearly impossible to play with a gamepad and it isn't likely that it will include support out of the box. Hacking together some kind of solution so you can play it with a gamepad is probably going to be a lot more complicated than just adjusting to playing it with a mouse and keyboard.

And I know you can hook up PC's to HDTV's, but you said something about streaming it "to your 360." I thought there was a dashboard update that I hadn't heard of or something ;) (that would actually be a neat feature, if you could stream live video output from your PC to the 360.. some sort of virtual desktop for gaming.. I know that's not what you meant, but it would be cool!)

I'm pretty sure Crysis looks better on 30" LCD monitor (2560x1600 pixels) than a 1080p TV, even 24" LCD's exceed 1080p so I guess size and your couch exceeds the demand for good controls and a crisp display ;)

Some people are just PC-phobic I guess.

Different sort of game, really.. but WOW did inherit a lot of things from Diablo 2. I'm sure D3 will be a big leap forward for the series though, in terms of gameplay. They're Blizzard--they're not just going to give us the same game with a fresh coat of paint. It will have been nearly 10 years, they know they have to deliver big time.

The combat is more action oriented, and it relies heavily on randomized content, the power of loot, and diverse character builds. Diablo is crack.

This is how the world ends.

But yeah the official torrent file isn't doing anything only SD version is working for gameplay :/

Posté par GriftGFX

Yeah they sure does know. The expansion for D2 made it like a whole new game really. So much content and stuff. I dare to say it had much more content and tweaks than most other games sequels have.

No, it's just sad that some people are so turned off by PC gaming that they'll try to pretend that PC games and console games are no different by design. Diablo 3 will be designed from the ground up with a mouse and keyboard interface, just like Starcraft 2, and it's pretty damn unlikely that either one will support the Xbox 360 controller out of the box. That's not to say it's impossible, but it won't work well unless it's Blizzard's intention to make it work well.

People have hacked together solutions to get the gamepad to work with World of Warcraft too, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea. If there's no consideration for gamepad support built into the product, then chances are, it's not worth doing.. regardless of how much pointing and clicking might turn you off. It will be like trying to play Super Mario Brothers with a mouse, it just won't make sense.

Point and click just dose not do it for me i'm afraid, i've tried and i hated it, so a controller is the only way i'll give this game a try, if its not supported i'll wait.

Well the concept of hit stuff till it dies and get uber loot is pretty much the same yea :D

I can imagine D3 borrowing alot from WoW actually especially the online part of it.

I was talking more about skills/trees than "hitting stuff till it dies."

I hope that the only thing D3 inherits from WOW is PVP. Blizz has learned a lot in that department since D2, where PVP was basically an afterthought and yet, still insanely popular.

Battle.net will live on through SC2 and D3 though, it seems.. which is good. I wouldn't mind some sort of false persistent overworld a la Guild Wars or Mythos, but I do prefer that they don't try to turn Diablo into some sort of World of Warcraft clone.. which.. they're not. Woot.

Good call. I should find my D2 discs.. it's been a long time and the story is anything but fresh in my mind.

I am sure that the 360 version will be available at launch. ARPGs simply play much better with a controller, certainly far more ergamonimically. The only area that really suffers is targeting and that can be worked around via choice of skills and AI. The Sacred 2 360 version should be very interesting.

Now that I think about it, I am surprised that no one in the US has filed a class action suite for RSI against PC game makers. Of course the suit would fail, but it would be interesting to see what the total cost of gaming induced RSI is.

LOL 360 version at launch? Diablo better to play with controller? Have you ever even played Diablo II? So you should only pick skills that are good for playing with controller rather than taking good skills? Yeah right.

As much as i'm a console gamer, the Diablo games are not better to play as with a controller.

How is a point & click game better with a controller?
